​
What do I need to do?
​
We will have honest and open conversations about personal issues. To get the most from coaching, you need to commit to the sessions and the process. We'll begin by discussing what you want to achieve from coaching. We'll discuss your strengths and weaknesses, what obstacles are hindering you from progressing and how you can overcome those. We may discuss goal-setting together and you'll decide what your priorities are.
​
What you can expect from me
​
I will agree goals with you and plan the sessions along with you during our first meeting. We will agree together what will be covered each week. You remain in charge of what direction we take. I'll help you reflect on what you're doing, help motivate you, but be flexible enough to change direction if you want. I'll constructively challenge you and stretch you.
​
Confidentiality
​
Everything said and written between us is kept strictly confidential and stored securely by me. This is essential to build trust between us. Paper files are kept securely in a cabinet with a key code and digital files are kept in an encrypted password-protected folder.
​
How long is each session?
​
Each session is one hour long.
​
How are sessions delivered?
​
Sessions can be delivered in-person at my home in Glasgow, by Skype(call or video), FaceTime or email. My working hours are Monday to Friday, 9:30a.m. - 1:30p.m. If you register for email coaching, I may work out-with these hours on weekdays, with a response time of 24 hours. There is typically just a few hours for a response to emails.
You'll be allocated a specific slot each week. If you work shifts and can't commit to a specific time-slot, you can book email coaching.
​
Personality clashes
​
Occasionally, it may be the case that we are not a good fit for one another. We both have a responsibility to discuss this, without judgement or aggression and to agree a way forward.
