What I offer my clients through coaching
What will booking a call mean in practise?
Before you commit to something, you research whether it will work for you, right?
I’m just the same, so we begin every coaching journey with a discovery session where we find out if we’re the right match, get precision on what is happening that makes you feel exhausted and stuck, then make a tailored plan together which moves you towards energy and independence.
This session is complementary and even if we don’t proceed, you’ll probably learn something important and get a better sense of what key blockers need working on.
What can coaching help with?
Do you feel drained after work?
Do you want more, deeper, meaningful connections but find socialising exhausting?
Are you stuck in a rut? each day too like the last one, with no obvious way out or forward?
Are you a little lost and confused?
Do you feel tied down, bound by commitments, obligations and expectations?
Do you get wound up in your head overthinking and analysing?
Is your sleep, life and rest interrupted by anxious thoughts?
Is your work asking too much of you, with no clear way forward in your career?
What kind of coaching is it specifically?
I coach people who are like me; introverted, professional, men, as I have a profound empathy here and have worked through the same obstacles you’re facing.
Coaching is about guiding you to live your ideal life, finding out what makes you tick, and why you’re not living that life now - typically there are obstacles that need tackling - then making concrete, detailed plans and sticking to those plans to get you where you want.
This works through dialogue with someone who gets you and has progressed through the same things.
That’s me, your coach!
To do this I provoke awareness and provide accountability - imagine going to the gym with a personal trainer; people who get training become fitter and healthier; but instead you’re having coaching on your life goals, whatever they may be, and with my support we will make those things happen.
Why I can help you
I remember being shy from a young age. I remember social anxiety, fears and phobias that limited me and stopped me doing the things I wanted and needed to do.
I was terrified of speaking publicly, I was physically detached from my body and stuck in my head, I overthought things so much I kept failing to take action on what was most important to me.
Opportunities and adventure slipped past me frequently. I ended up getting coaching on each of these specific things and breaking them down into bitesize chunks that led me to being socially confident, a strong public speaker (I enjoy it - shock!), who is physically fit, healthy, a triathlete, and a present and loving father and partner. I have got joy, growth, energy and freedom at the centre of my life; but the passion that lies with this all is one to help others overcome similar hurdles. This is my purpose.
How does the coaching journey work?
Each journey begins by discovering the fit of you (client) with me (coach).
If the fit works, then we will find a lot more out about one another on that first session; what your core goals are and why, what is blocking them, for instance are you lacking energy because you are drained by your work? is that because your work doesn't respect your introverted needs? Perhaps the problem is overthinking, that you’re not acting on things you need to act on; a common introvert issue.
If we decide to carry on and work together then expect the first weeks to be a period of profound change and strides forward you thought were out of reach. Beyond this the journey is one of several months, we’ll make a plan together shaped around you, but will probably meet weekly. Perhaps for you, as an introvert, you will want to meet less and reflect more, it's upto you. But a key part of it is about my not only guiding but holding you to your own account - if you commit to an action I will challenge you with tact on the reasons underneath it. Self-sabotage is a gigantic issue which is typically far bigger than many of us realise.
The journey is a shared one, and both of us will be committed with conviction to you finding a spring in your step, energy and independence; all built atop your authentic introverted self.
My approach and suitability to you...
I was managing teams by the time I was 24 then became a more senior manager and leader until I became overall lead for technology at a pharma scale-up.
I discovered coaching early on in this journey and brought it into my leadership style; this gave me awesome results in every team I lead thereafter. Meanwhile I was coaching friends in my personal life through jobs and career transformations and relationships too. I am an accredited coach with an ICF (International Coaching Federation) recognised coaching qualification and have coached hundreds of people. I have focused my coaching on those I can empathise with best (introverted professional men). My style is what you would expect from an introverted man - I place pride in building rapport and in trust, in honesty and integrity; I take relationships with friends and colleagues seriously and do not let people down lightly. I prefer deep, meaningful relationships and conversations.
What will it cost?
At this point you may be thinking “not sure I can afford this”.
I don't know your financial situation, but something to think about is how much do you invest in your own personal growth? and if that personal growth is going to make every day after it, for the rest of your life, a little or a lot better, how much is that worth? How much do you spend on cars, on new technology like phones or laptops, televisions or home appliances? the crazy thing is many people spend more - a lot more - on those things than they do on becoming the person they wish to become. If your situation requires it, I also have a range of payment plans designed to suit the needs of each client.
Money back guarantee
So to make this an easy decision, I offer all my clients a 100% money back guaranteee. Yes, you read that right, a 100% money back guarantee. If you’re not happy with the progress made after 30 days, I’ll refund your entire coaching fee.
What results can be expected?
As an introverted professional man, I bet you struggle with energy, feeling low and listless, tired and drained. Wearing the mask to act extroverted comes with a cost. Many experience this most profoundly at the end of work and then dread the next working day.
Or perhaps it's a feeling of being horribly stuck that’s getting to you. At a crossroads, feeling locked in like you have few options or nowhere to go next, with progression in your career stalling.
People that work with me say goodbye to those symptoms and welcome a new world of energy and independence. For some people I’ve coached this has meant leaving their jobs, for many others the change was more within themselves, they just needed help to realise it and began to get what they needed from their employer, partner or friends that respected their introverted needs for quiet, for calm, for deep thinking. What is consistent with all my introverted male clients is they have got a rapid release of pent up energy and then a sustainable new level, fuelled by confident independence, built on a foundation of being authentically who they are and wish to be.
The energy to go out and socialise with the people you want to connect with most.
The independent confidence to say ‘no’ to engagements, practises and people that drain you and bring negativity.
The freedom to embrace the career you’ve always wanted with clarity and conviction.
Are you ready ?
So do you want those results too?
If energy and independence is what you’re after, and an end to being stuck and exhausted, all you have to do is book your complementary call and we will get that journey started. It’s time for change, it’s time to be you, introverted yes but freer, happier, with unstoppable energy and confidence. The only thing between now and that life, is taking a simple step that’s right in front of you...
