What is Coaching?

"Coaching, you see, is not telling people what to do; it's giving them a chance to examine what they are doing in the light of their intention."

~ James Flaherty, Coaching: Evoking Excellence in Others

"Coaching is unlocking a person's potential to maximise their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them.  We are more like an acorn, which contains within it all the potential to be a magnificent oak tree. We need nourishment, encouragement and the light to reach towards, but the oaktreeness is already within."

~ John Whitmore, Coaching for Performance

"Coaching is the facilitation of learning and development with the purpose of improving performance and enhancing effective action, goal achievement and personal satisfaction. It invariably involves growth and change, whether that is in perspective, attitude and behaviour."

~ Peter Bluckert, The Foundations of a Psychological Approach to Executive Coaching. 

"Ontological Coaching is about coaching to way of being, as a means of producing major shifts in perception and behaviour."

~ Alan Sieler, Coaching to the Human Soul

"Professional Coaching is an ongoing professional relationship that helps people produce extraordinary results in their lives, careers, businesses or organizations. Coaching is partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. "

~ International Coach Federation (ICF)

 

The Coaching Academy is a catalyst for personal transformation.  We provide customised workshops and personal coaching programmes aimed at enabling people to experience greater joy, meaning and fulfilment in their personal and professional lives.  Our philosophy is inspired by the life of Jonathan Livingstone Seagull, an extraordinary gull featured in the classic fable by Richard Bach.

At the Academy, we employ advanced training and coaching methodologies directed at:

• Generating profound insights that promote self-knowledge and self-understanding
• Uncovering and eliminating 'blindspots' that hinder personal effectiveness
• Facilitating deep and sustainable learning that makes personal transformation possible
• Empowering people to make conscious choices and take new actions towards creating their desired outcomes

We work with organisations and individuals, and specialise in the domain of PERSONAL EFFECTIVENESS - one of the foundations for organisational effectiveness. We believe that deep within every soul lies a potential for greatness.  Our commitment is to help our clients uncover and unleash that greatness.

At the heart of our work is what we term at the Academy as Generative Conversations -  dialogues aimed at generating one or more of the following outcomes:

• Objective assessment of your current reality
• Clarity of your intentions and values, i.e. what you truly want and what really matters to you 
• Identification of barriers that are preventing you from acting freely and powerfully
• Access to internal resources (that you already possess) you need for fulfilling your intentions
• New perspectives that allow you to SEE, observe and experience YOUR LIFE differently
• New insights on what drives your thinking and behaviours
• New possibilities and opportunities that are previously not available to you
• New actions that can possibly produce extraordinary results in your personal and professional life
