FAQ

You may be a professional, business owner, founder, entrepreneur, solopreneur or self-starter. Any of those persons may have ADHD, Autism or other neurodivergence and or be a parent and or an expat navigating the multiple dimensions and challenges of life.

A leader is not defined by line management responsibility. It's someone who is purpose led, a self starter , typically navigating multiple challenges and transitions, who is open to embracing change and authenticity.

I welcome the chance to be that partner in helping you to create that meaningful change.

As the majority of coaching is done online via zoom or google meet, coaching clients can be based anywhere around the world provided that our timezones enable us a time to meet.

Should a session that suits your timezone not be available through the website booking system, please do not hesitate to reach out via email and suggest a few alternatives.

Coaching is provided in English. I am also able to provide coaching in German.

Coaching sessions generally take place online using zoom or google meet.

Coaching and blended strategic and creative services for startups and organsiations may take place in person upon request and agreement.

The time commitment will vary per individual. Depending on the individuals circumstances and goals, I will recommend one of the below coaching engagements:

• Six months, meeting twice monthly, 60 mins

• Nine months, meeting twice monthly, 60 mins

• 12 months, meeting twice monthly, 60 mins

A lot of the major shifts, wins and growth naturally happen between sessions. The client sets themselves relevant work to do following each session. This may be a simple reflection or something related to the goals discussed during the session.

Trained Co-Active Coach with the Coach Training Institute (CTI)

The Co-Active Model is an International Coach Federation (ICF) approved coaching education. It utilises proven connections and communications framework to help clients better understand how they got where they are, how to reorient themselves to the bigger purpose in their life and leadership, and then collaborate with others to act upon it.

Unique approach:

• A coaching relationship is a partnership of two equals

• Goal orientated with the client setting the overall coaching goals and the focus for each coaching session

• Sees the client as a fully capable, creative and resourceful who is fully empowered to obtain the answers and insight from within themselves with a coach holding them accountable

• Use of embodiment to further unlock perspectives if the client feels comfortable with that

Further specialising in the ADD Coach Academy (ADDCA), Advanced ADHD Coach Program for trained coaches.

ADDCA is global leader and pioneer in the specialty area of ADHD Coach Training and Education. ADDCA is fully accredited by the ICF (Level 1 and 2) and PAAC (AACTP). The research based training is supported by the most current research in the areas of ADHD, Neuroscience, Executive Functioning, Positive Psychology, Coaching, Mindfulness and Self-Compassion.

Unique approach:

A balanced strengths based approach, not a fix-it-solution: coach approach does not just focus on an individual’s challenges but underscores the unique strengths that come with neuro-diverse wiring. Focus may include:

• Whole person character Strengths

• Processing Modalities, an individuals learning and comprehension styles

• Executive Functioning - as it relates to attention, focus, effort, emotional regulation, accessing memory and taking action in different situations.

While both offer a safe, trusted, non judgemental and confidential environment, therapy is able to focus psychological issues, challenges and experiences whereas a coaching relationship involves a partnership of equals. It is goal orientated, a thought provoking creative process with a coach enabling a client to maximise their personal and professional potential.

In coaching:

• The client will set not only the goals but the agenda for each session and is ultimately responsible for progress

• It generally focuses on the here and now and what the gap/s, challenges and limiting beliefs might be

• It may involve focus on gaining clarity, empowering through self reflection, visioning and growth, activating the relevant coaching resources and tools

• The coach and client work together to chart a plan towards the clients desired goals

Therapy emphasizes psychopathology, emotions and the past to understand the present, and it works more with developing skills for managing emotions or past issues than does coaching.

Mentoring may include advising and counselling. There may be a level of hierarchy or a different level of experience of which the advising and counselling is based on.

The coaching process does not include advising or counselling, and focuses instead on individuals or groups setting and reaching their own objectives through a thought provoking and creative process that inspires the client/s to maximise their potential.

This will vary depending on local tax laws. It is therefore advised to clarify that response with a local tax expert.

Yes I do. Having experienced the powerful impact of coaching myself, I would not want anyone to miss out on coaching that really needs it.
