One to One Support

 

 

How can I help you? 

I help people gain confidence, tackle blocks & fears - and speak up - to hit full potential in life and work. If you're great at what you do, but you’re not progressing in the way you think you should and you think it's to do with your quiet nature or a lack of confidence in promoting yourself, I can help - I offer one to one coaching in this area. As well as my coaching expertise, I bring 15 years of experience as a small business mentor to the conversation too.

What do I do? 

I’m known for my work with quieter, reserved and/or shy people who want to become more confident in speaking up and sharing their ideas/telling the world about what they do. 

A self-confessed ‘deep introvert’, I speak from personal experience of overcoming shyness and lack of confidence to become an impactful public speaker who works easily with others 1-1 and in groups. I’m adept at coaching others to do the same.

How do I work? 

I offer a ‘mix and match’ of mentoring and coaching - so I don’t stick to the regular model of 6 by 2 hour sessions - it’s just not flexible enough to cope with people who are generating ideas and need to try them out, learn from the testing stage and then adjust and move on... My clients and I agree a number of hours - between 6 and 10 for most - and work with me on a retainer basis. The time is used up as a mix of face to face (or Zoom if the client is at a distance) email and phone calls. We keep a log of time spent, and track it as we go. 

That allows the client (you) to get the coaching and support exactly when you need it and in whatever chunks you choose. So an initial face to face session could be followed up with a shorter Skype session and a coaching exercise to work on. It’s incredibly flexible, you can spread the time as you wish, and I’m only an email away if you need me. If this sounds like the kind of support you think you need, let’s set up a call and explore how it might work for you. 

I teach on the acclaimed Barefoot Coaching Ltd ICF/Postgraduate Certificate in Business & Personal coaching. 

Organisations

 I also work with organisations who want to understand how to include quiet people (and unlock all the quiet wisdom that's sitting untapped) but don't yet know exactly how to do that. I have a talk, masterclasses/workshops and the resources organisations need to make that change. 

Give me a call!

I’m happy to talk with you on the phone, with no obligation. The call usually explores these things:

  • What’s happening for you now?

  • What would you like to change or move towards?

  • What needs to happen in order to make those changes?

  • How might I work with you to make that happen?

By the end of the call you will know whether I’m the right person for you. You’ll have a clear idea of the various options I can offer, and the cost. You’ll know whether the relationship and chemistry works for you.

You can give me call on 07810 415402, or email me here,

In certain situations/meetings, when faced with confrontational people, I become mute. It’s debilitating, at times, even when I feel I might have something useful to contribute. Pete is excellent at helping overcoming this.
