WHAT IS COACHING AND WHO IS IT FOR?
Coaching is for everyone and has been defined in many ways. To me the essence of coaching is:
Is a partnership to help a person or whānau change in the way they wish and helping them go in the direction they want to go.
Helping people understand more about their own challenges and make informed choices about their future.
Coaching builds awareness empowers choice and leads to change.
There are many areas Coaching can support – Life, Whānau, Career or Business.
Here at Whāinga suggest that if you are feeling any of the following points that you may benefit from personal development coaching:
-
Something is feeling "off" - you're not yourself and you are unsure why!
-
Even after rest you are still feeling tired or exhausted.
-
You're finding it hard to be productive at work, or you are starting to explore new areas of professional interest
-
Activities or hobbies you use to enjoy are now not bringing as much excitement.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COACHING AND COUNSELLING?
WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM A PROGRAMME?
HOW DO I KNOW IF I MIGHT NEED PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT COACHING?
Every Coaching Programme is tailored to suit Individuals, Rangatahi, Business or Whānau groups focus area/s.
Individuals or Groups
For the best results, I suggest a client/whānau look to participate in my programmes over the course of 5-8 weeks. This allows enough time for us to really see the shifts in behaviours, improvements or time to reflect and set new directions.
Sessions include at least one weekly 1-1 session (60 mins) with the preference always being ā-kanohi but a Zoom option is available as well, and additional tautoko (support) via email or chat.
An example of what a “5-Week Programme” might look like includes:
Week 1 – 2: Whakaritenga – Establish & Determine Goals, Mindset
Week 3 – 4: Tautoko – Inquiry & Progress
Week 5: Arotakenga – Reflection & Maintenance
For Rangatahi, I can help with career guidance or assist them with developing their goals and aspirations for when they are ready to leave secondary school or even if they are considering Tertiary Education.
