What is Life Coaching?

Welcome to Life Coaching & Training.

I offer:

1-2-1 coaching to individuals to help you to & reach your personal & career goals &
skills coaching in assertiveness, confidence-building, interpersonal skills & relationship difficulties, interviews, presentations & public speaking, time management & writing skills, including CVs.

So what is life coaching, how can you benefit, what topics do my clients bring to coaching and what do they say about it? I see coaching as a partnership between coach and individual in a safe, supportive environment of trust & honesty. You may choose to bring one immediate topic, such as career change or stress, or you may want to look broadly at your life, personally or professionally.

Curriculum Vitae, Interviews & Career
If you want to change your job or career and apply for a post or promotion, coaching will help you to identify your skills, talents and motivations. When you apply for a course or job, you will want to:
submit an impressive written application shine at interview and impress with your presentation
Coaching helps you to gain the edge over other candidates.
I am able to take you through the complete process: to help you identify your career goals, prepare a CV, apply for a post (form and covering letter), prepare for interview and practice, and design and deliver a presentation if required. You may want to develop your verbal and written communication skills, self-esteem and confident self-presentation.
Whether you are:
- A student starting out - Midway in your career - Feeling you don’t do justice to yourself at interview - Stuck and wanting a change, or - A high achiever thinking of the next step
Coaching can help you make those all-important decisions about course and career and enhance your prospects of successful application for a university place or the job of your choice.

Understanding Body Language A Collection of 20 Training Activities - Collaboration of various AuthorsClothes Talk & Busy Body by Lucy SeifertOur body language and our ability to read the non-verbal signals of those around us develop unconsciously from birth. Non-verbal signals are evidence both of the meaning behind the messages we may be trying to communicate verbally and of our state of mind. Just as you are able to influence your state of mind with conscious action, so you can learn to consciously develop your skills of reading body language and your (self)awareness of the body language signals that you are conveying, allowing you to change them as appropriate. This collection of 20 activities is drawn from a wide range of Gower activity manuals. Bringing together exercises that use NLP, observation, mime, coaching, feedback and a number of other techniques, allows us to create a very powerful body language training resource. We have chosen the activities to allow you to vary the style of your training and to explore as many applications and dimensions of body language as possible. All of the activities are appropriate for general interpersonal skills training. Some of them are useful for particular contexts too, such as interviewing, coaching or negotiating.
