Skills & Attitude
I believe that good coaching is the key to focused people development. Coaching requires many of the same skills that are critical to effective people management, such as keen powers of observation, listening, questioning, intuition and an ability to take appropriate action.

Unlocking Potential
I believe that coaching, and indeed mentoring, is about unlocking a person’s potential enabling them to maximise their own performance. It is about helping the other person to think and learn for themselves, rather than telling or teaching them what to do.

Safe Environment
I believe that for a person to develop, flourish and grow they need a safe environment to do so. An environment that enables them to be genuine (openness and self-disclosure), to feel accepted (being seen with unconditional positive regard) and is empathic to their challenges and opportunities (being listened to and understood).

Know Thy Self
I believe that every client is naturally creative, resourceful and whole, but I equally believe that personal growth and development happens from the inside out. Therefore, I believe a client must be open to exploring who they are; must be willing to understand how they perceive themselves; must be prepared to know how they are perceived by others; and must be keen to embrace and work with their own strengths and weaknesses.

Partnership of Equals
I believe that the quality of the working relationship between coach and client is not just a critical success factor, but the critical success factor in successful coaching outcomes; with neither participant being superior nor subordinate to the other and where both parties are engaged in a dynamic collaboration that is focused on the whole person of the client.
