Focus Coaching

For the majority of us, it is easy to wake up filled with inspiration and passion for the things we want to achieve. We may even jump out of bed saying today will be different. I will make that phone call, put that plan in action and make it my priority. Then before we know it, the day has overtaken us, and we fall exhausted into bed, feeling disappointed that we are still in the same place we were yesterday and those plans we had to feel more distant and elusive than ever.

It is very easy to set goals, but the truth is, nothing will change if you keep doing what you have always done. If you want things to happen, you have to make room for an action plan.

Setting Priorities

The first hurdle with any goal is to make room for it in your busy schedule. The next is to keep it as a priority no matter what else is going on. Even with this in place, there are inevitably going to be tasks that you don’t enjoy, or times when you feel stuck and avoid what is necessary.

Keeping to your plan when you meet these challenges is the third and most difficult hurdle of all. I have worked with 100’s of people, and I see this every day. I even experience it myself. So I do know how hard it is to stay motivated when it is easier to put the task off for another less busy day.

The problem is, the ‘less busy’ day never comes, and before long, your goal has once again become elusive and distant.

Will Power Is Not Enough

Even with the best intentions, most people find that willpower is not enough. There are good psychological explanations for this. If we have to exert large amounts of willpower, it is usually because we have met a block in our resolve. Or there may be a hidden overriding desire is to stay exactly where we are, in the familiar comfort zone.

Willpower is a bit like an overworked muscle. At the start of the day, when the mind is fresh, the will is strong, and it is easy to say you will achieve your goal. However, a few unexpected tasks, conversations or meetings later, the immediate priorities of the day take over, and the will becomes exhausted and overloaded.

To move forward we have to give Will a chance by applying focus. By shifting our focus to the bigger picture, we begin to step beyond the familiar and make way for new habits to emerge.

Commitment & Accountability

One good way to achieve this is to have an accountability partner. This can be a cooperative process with a friend or work colleague to set and maintain goals, but to work at it’s optimum, there must be no collusion.

We all love to support people, and we want to show we care. However, being objective is a challenging skill to apply to people we know. This is where coaching comes into its own. With a professional coach, you can talk through issues, gain insights and receive the type of support that is not always possible with friends and colleagues.

Focus Coaching is a technique I discovered during my own coach training and have since developed to support my clients in successfully setting and achieving their goals.

The Focus Coaching Technique

Focus Coaching supports you in fast-tracking your way to success. The process encourages you to stay focused on the bigger picture and set consistently achievable goals to stay on track.

The Process:–

• You book your appointments at times that suit you.
• We meet in Zoom for private one-2-one sessions that are recorded or not, you choose.
• Sessions are time restricted, so it is important to be well-prepared beforehand.
• In the first session, we discuss your overall goal and strategy for achieving it. By the end of this session, you will have your first achievable step clarified and have set a date for its completion.
• In each consecutive session, we discuss the next step and the commitment required to achieve it and set a date for it to be completed by.
• Following each conversation, a session recording ( if selected) will be sent to you along with a booking link to set your next session once the task has been completed.

Free Exploration Chat

Not sure if I am right for you? I get it. You don’t know me yet, and relationships are built on connection and trust. Finding the right coach is important, and it’s an essential part of a successful coaching relationship.

So, let’s have a chat and see if we connect. We will meet via Zoom, and you can ask me what you need to know to ensure that this is right for you. We’ll discuss the coaching relationship, and I’ll leave you with a few pointers that will give you a sense of what it would be like working with me.

No further commitment is required after this meeting. I would insist you go away and think about it carefully before booking any coaching sessions.

A Package That Works For You

Personal Value

Everyone has a different perspective on value, which is reflected in everything we do. Financial value is often measured by our income and lifestyle. Where we spend our money is determined by what we value most. Likewise, the people we choose to spend time with is determined by how much we value them.

Although our daily activities strongly reflect these values, we seldom give them conscious consideration. Even more, overlooked is how we value ourselves. Sadly, we often use negative experiences to undervalue who we are and what we bring to the world. It is time to change all that.

Valuing Your Success

As a coach, I invest my time into your success. My financial reward for this is the money you pay me for my services. However, the thing I value most in working with clients is seeing you move from stuck, to fully motivated. The greatest reward of all is witnessing your success.

As anyone in business knows, good feedback and personal recommendation far outweighs any amount of marketing and advertising. Therefore, your success brings far greater value to my work and my life purpose than the financial remuneration. So although I am happy to work with you in the standard way, it would bring me greater joy to support you in celebrating your achievements.

Contract Agreement And Refunds

The first session is about us getting to know each other, defining your goal and establishing the best way I can support you. At the end of this session, there will be a clear action plan. It will be clear what your first step will be, and a set date for it to be completed.

You are responsible for setting each goal and the required time. It is important to know that this system works because of its strict accountability framework. Each session is dedicated to the next achievement step. We will explore everything that could get in the way of completing it.

The full fee is paid when booking your first session. After that, no further payments. The coaching blocks are not refundable and must be used within 190 days.
