Coaching
Business & Executive Coaching
Business & Executive Coaching provides a space for professionals to discuss a specific work-related challenge/opportunity in a safe and confidential space. The guiding principle of coaching is distinct from the leading nature of mentoring and the clinical approach of counselling. The GROW (Goal, Reality, Options, Way Forward) model is the most common framework employed in business coaching. The sessions generally take place once a month over 4-5 months. In this instance, the sessions are offered by a trainee coach with over twenty years experience working in the community. There is no cost.

Who can avail of the Sessions?
The pro-bono coaching sessions are available to anyone going through a change in their professional lives. The coaching sessions provide a non-judgemental space to reflect and develop a better sense of empowerment and self-efficacy. Changes in one's personal life, such as a healthier lifestyle are also applicable topics for exploration.
What can Participants Expect?
Participants will have the opportunity to reflect and think about their careers and its future direction in a safe and secure environment. With guidance and support, clients will be empowered to set meaningful goals.
Clients will be offered an initial chemistry session to decide if there is a mutual fit. This will be followed by approx. 4-5 confidential sessions over a defined period: generally one session per month. All coaching sessions are pro bono. The sessions will take place online though in-person is possible.
