Coaching
Coaching is a partnership that allows the space to create shifts in thinking. It is not advice, mentoring, or therapy.
Coaching empowers
Coaching empowers people by allowing them space to think of their own solutions.
The assumption that underlies coaching is that you are creative, resourceful and whole (Kimsey-House et al (2018)). Thinkers are already exceptional, and coaching helps them to be more unique.
Coaching provides a safe and supportive environment for individuals to explore their situations. It encourages a holistic approach, using the mind, body, and heart to examine potential shifts. Importantly, coaching is a forward-facing process that focuses on developing solutions for the future.
While there are numerous coaching models, Alun does not adhere to one. He firmly believes that he, as a coach, is the most effective tool in the coaching process. His approach is not about using fancy models or powerful questions but guiding the thinker and allowing them the time and space to think.
