COACHING
A Work.Life coach is a key to unlocking your full potential.
James has over 20 years of experience in various leadership roles. In 2005 he graduated from The University of Birmingham having completed his dissertation on The Impact of Coaching in Organisations. Since then he has been on a continuous self-development journey sharing his experience and knowledge as a mentor and coaching people helping support their own adventures.
In 2021 James completed an ICF accredited programme with Optimus Academy.
"Everyone has massive potential, but more often than not, we need someone to help us reach it. The greatest athletes, film stars, writers, musicians, business owners, etc., have all had coaches and mentors who helped them understand themselves and act strategically to achieve the "impossible."
As your personal Work.Life coach, I will provide you with unbiased feedback and insight that you won't get from your family or friends. You can then apply this knowledge to dramatically increase the odds of success at virtually any endeavour."

TESTIMONIALS
HOW WILL THE COACHING WORK?
While I take everyone through the same necessary procedure, the actual coaching can vary greatly. At the initial consultation session, I'll assess where you are now and decide on the right plan and your individual needs. This first consultation session is essential in deciding on our primary goals and is the first step of the process.
The basis of the process is to decide how you will reach your goals and the day-to-day decisions to help you get there. We'll start by setting our priorities and gradually, step by step, we move closer towards achieving your goals and future success.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COACHING AND THERAPY?
The main difference is that therapy looks at your past and how that affects you and your choices. Coaching is all about the now and future. It's about setting and reaching goals, rather than mental health and emotional healing. For example, in therapy, you might discuss how your childhood has held you back from reaching success, while in my coaching, we will focus on how you can achieve success now.
Concentrating on the future to achieve success is a fundamental part of coaching. The coaching process is all about the present moment and all the potential of your future. We look at taking action now.
CAN I TALK TO YOU FIRST BEFORE STARTING THE PROGRAMME?
Absolutely. Everyone who comes to me is offered a Discovery session. This initial consultation session is free of charge, and it takes up to half an hour. During this time, I'll evaluate your situation, assess your needs, explain how I work, and what the whole process will look like, so I create a programme designed just for you. It's also an opportunity to assess whether we're a good fit for each other and if we would want to work together on a long term basis.
So, don't hesitate to get in touch!
CAN YOU GUARANTEE ME IT WILL WORK?
I can't promise you'll succeed. Why? Because that success depends on you. You are the only one who can provide the guarantee.
I can promise that I'll give you all the tools and support you need to succeed. But it's you who can guarantee success by putting in the effort. You can't just slide to the top of the mountain - you have to climb. But everything is possible!
CAN WE WORK OVER SKYPE/ZOOM?
Yes. I'm going to be with you every step of the way, so the more comfortable we are with each other, the more we can build trust and reach your targets. We can work together via messages, calls, and video calls, so I'm as close to your side as I can be.
HOW LONG IS IT GOING TO TAKE?
This varies from person to person. Factors such as where you are in your career, your business experience, starting point, goals, and work ethic all play a part in determining how long it will take. It can take as little as 3 months or as many as 24 months to achieve the results you're looking for.
