Investing in yourself or your people brings so many benefits.
Personal and professional development is worth investing in. Taking courses and learning more about a topic brings, naturally, enhanced expertise, as well as a deeper sense of confidence. All learning is good as we get to know ourselves better and our blocks, strengths, weaknesses. Self reflection and awareness of our own behaviours is not always easy, but it can open up new ways of thinking. This in turn helps us in our personal lives as well as at work, where we learn to hone our communication skills, both inner and outer.
Coaching is a great way to support self development
Have you tuned in to your own thoughts? When you’ve wanted to understand yourself better, how have you gone about that? Many of us find that our thoughts play on a loop and it’s not easy to go deeper or develop further. All our own assumptions and default beliefs filter our thoughts and can mean we think the same thoughts over and over. Working with a coach means that you start making sense of these thoughts. First step is that by actually saying them out loud, you hear yourself from another perspective. Second step is that your coach asks incisive questions that help break the thought loops and your thoughts can expand.
Confidential and non-judgmental
Having a confidential, non judgmental sounding board means you can speak about topics you perhaps might not feel confident discussing with others. Through coaching, you explore ideas and ways to feel more in control. You will find ways of feeling less stressed and find communication and your ability to influence is increased. Coaching can help you consider and change so many aspects of behaviours and thoughts as well as gain a new perspective. Whilst it can be challenging and you’ll be encouraged to step out of your comfort zone, you will also find it fascinating and enjoyable as you find your new found clarity, confidence, focus and vision.
Many people I work with comment how refreshing it is to have the space to think, make sense and plan and perhaps. more importantly, be listened to without pressure or judgment. It’s an investment worth making for your professional and personal development.

Want to find out more about working with me as your coach or mentor?
Email me or call 07785 996917 to arrange a call where we can discuss what you’re looking for. I’ll then put together a short proposal with costs and a description of how I think we could best work together. You can take your time to consider this and we can then discuss if you want to start.
Generally I recommend a coaching programme, as a one off meeting can be powerful but results may not last as habits are hard to change! However, for specific decision making dilemmas, ad hoc sessions can be useful.

Catrin has taught me ways of changing my mindset at Board meetings and to feel I belonged and no longer fear them.”
