So what is coaching? (continued)

Coaching as practiced by Pamela is:

	Practical and solutions focused, but not directive as I aim to develop skills in my clients that they can continue to use for themselves – I do not seek to create dependence on me!
	Individually tailored to each organisation / person's requirements
	Fitted around your life and your needs – can be carried out face-to-face, by telephone and/or by email
	Tailored to suit corporate/client budgets
	Usually short-term. My longest Executive Coaching programmes will tend to last no longer than 6 months; and individual coaching may last much less depending on the client needs
	Not a substitute for my client's own personal motivation – my clients are supported and encouraged but still have to take on their own responsibility for making changes and for the amount of work they choose to do in order to achieve their goals!

Benefits of Career Coaching:

"…….. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous. Actually, who are you not to be? You playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you… As we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
Nelson Mandela 1992
