You'll soon know if our coaching style is a match for you…

You know how doubts or uncertainty can rob you of your ability to lead, accomplish, and inspire?

• How sometimes you lose the connection to your vision and purpose?
• You are not completely sure how to bring out your power and access your natural gifts to impact and influence your world the way you would like?
• What we do is help you uncover your skills and identify your purpose, move through any barriers, and stay connected to your vision so you can easily walk the path to success: in leadership, in your business, in your community, personally and professionally.
• In absolute confidentiality, we'll assist you to access and develop resources to facilitate your growth, and overcome whatever obstacles block your path to clarity, prosperity, peace, success and fulfillment.
• Join a select group of forward-thinking people who are, like you, unique individuals from diverse backgrounds: leaders in business, government, health and community.
• The thread that binds these individuals is their desire to create, lead, influence and contribute in all aspects of their lives. In most clients, we find a strong drive to live a full and balanced life, a life of congruence where words and actions align with purpose to bring out their true selves.

Results include:

• more energy and productivity,
• greater happiness,
• enthusiasm and deep satisfaction.
• These are key ingredients to achieve personal and organizational success.
• Coaching is a commitment to your personal and professional development.

What can coaching do for me?

Coaching is about living on purpose, achieving your dreams and playing BIG. It's about accessing your personal power for the benefit of yourself and others.

Is Coaching Right For You?

• Only you can decide that. Having an outside resource facilitates optimal growth and helps you understand your abilities. Define your direction, stay on track, and create quantum leaps in your business, your leadership skills and your life.
• Coaching supports you to develop and hone the skills you need and gives you the confidence to take on bigger challenges and greater responsibility. To lead others, you must first lead yourself. Coaching is about self-discovery and unleashing as yet unrealized potential.
• We help establish specific, clear personal and professional outcomes that are aligned with your deepest values and purpose; outcomes that stretch you to actualize your potential and create the life you want.

"If we did the things we are capable of doing we would literally astound ourselves."
Thomas A. Edison

From our personal experience, we have found some people have no compelling reason to reach their potential until they discover their unique gifts. Others have naturally developed strategies and skills to create fantastic wealth, influence and success. In both cases there is often a sense that something is missing or they want more. More fulfillment. More self-knowledge.

Deeper satisfaction and, they want to experience greater joy and a true feeling of connection to something much bigger than themselves. One-on-one sessions are tailored to your needs and outcomes.

What makes coaching work?

Expertise: The coach has knowledge, skills and expertise, and we use them to increase the client's level of effectiveness in several domains:

1. The client's ability to make productive decisions;
2. The client's capacity to set goals that are both far-reaching and manageable;
3. The client's readiness and willingness to go beyond the 'comfort zone' in accomplishing these goals.

As a result, an expansion of productivity and fulfillment is made possible in the area of focus (career, personal, transition, etc.).

Structure: While working with a coach, clients are more likely to take groundbreaking action, to 'think bigger' and to stay focused on taking the follow-up steps necessary to achieve their goals. This is so because the coach brings both unflagging motivation and enhanced accountability into the picture.

Teamwork: A client and coach who work together become a team, which focuses on the client's desires, values and goals. Consequently, clients are less likely to be stopped by either external obstacles or self-limitations of any kind.

Collaborative effort: This is the essence of coaching. This collaborative effort augments the client's talents and motivation. It also provides support and encouragement at times when, if left to their own devices, the clients would get discouraged, procrastinate, take partial action, or even give up altogether.

When is Coaching Most Useful?

Coaching is always useful. This is the reason that successful athletes, performers and artists consistently work with coaches to raise their levels of achievement. However, coaching is significantly more crucial when you identify one of the following:

• Perhaps you observe, in a specific area of your life, a gap between what your goals and abilities lead you to expect and the actual level of accomplishment and satisfaction.
• Maybe you sense that you have reached a plateau, or you feel stuck at a certain level and need support in moving to a new level.
• or could you be facing a life/career/personal Transition of some kind?
• To really benefit from coaching, the person being coached ought to have some degree of interest in changing 'The Way I Always Do It'; in examining ways to learn from mistakes or failures; in taking the next step in one's personal or professional life, trying out new and possibly uncomfortable approaches; in sticking with it long enough to see the effects of what has been learned and applied.

Are You Ready For a Coach?

Before you take the first step to interview and hire a coach, please read the following statements. If they ring true for you, then you may be ready for a coach. Be honest. If you're ready, then coaching is a powerful and exciting tool for achieving the life you want.

1. This is the right time for me to try new ways.
2. I'll listen to the coach and try new concepts, perspectives or different ways of doing things.
3. If I feel I am not getting what I need or expect from the coach, I will share this immediately and discuss what I want and need from the relationship.
4. I am willing to stop or change the self-defeating behaviours, which limit my success.
5. I see coaching as a worthwhile investment in my life.
6. I have decided I need to make some changes in my life.

How do coaching sessions work?

The People Dynamics Profile System, 360% feedback and Life Survey are used as a startingpoint for the coaching. This process assists the coach and client to identify an individual's strengths and weaknesses with a resulting strategy for rectifying the limiting behaviours. Coaching can take place face to face, over the telephone or via email.

People Dynamics' coaching consists of one session per month with a member of our coaching team plus e-mail backup. Private consultations are completely confidential. With a Coach, you have an outside observer and supporter who will challenge you to learn, grow and develop. We recommitted to your success, supporting you to reach your goals. What we work on together is up to you: leadership development, communication with others, personal purpose, self-confidence, creativity, inspiration, accelerating your growth and letting go of whatever it is that seems to be holding you back. Everyone has his or her own challenges as well as specific outcomes they want to achieve.

While the coach provides feedback and an objective perspective, the client is responsible for taking the steps to produce the result he or she desires. Our coaches act as a resource; they direct and advise - but just like a sporting coach, they don't actually walk out onto the field to play the main game. People Dynamics' coaching has a strong emphasis on homework. This homework will generally be set cooperatively with timing cognisant of the individual's workload.
