What is Coaching?

skillslocal logoCoaching helps to improve performance and focuses on the ‘here and now’ rather than the past. Coaching helps to unlock potential which then helps to maximise performance. It is a process which supports individuals, leaders and teams to learn rather than teach. It is generally more effective than training as it focuses on changing behaviours.

What our clients say about us

I have just had my first session with Tracy, working towards starting my business. I love how Tracy listens to my ideas whilst still offering thought provoking advice. I feel inspired after our sessions and look forward to working closely with Tracy to execute our plan.
Megan Pierre
Tracy was excellent at communicating with me regarding the questionnaire I completed. We had a really interesting discussion and she helped point me in the direction of areas to focus on. I feel working with Tracy has really motivated me, given me the encouragement I needed and the confidence to achieve my goals. I can’t recommend Tracy enough, she’s very passionate about her work and is both friendly and helpful as well as approachable. Thank you again and looking forward to our next session.
Jo Piggot
I got a lot from our session. I feel I have a framework to plan my future in a realistic and goal oriented fashion, personally and professionally. I found your approach motivating and heat seeking in your ability to home in on the real issues and blockages . Thank you Tracy, really looking forward to getting those foundations dug and building upwards and onwards. p.s the coffees are definitely on me
Claire
So, having worked with Tracy, I’ve been able to identify the barriers getting in the way of me achieving both my personal and professional goals. It’s helped clear my mind of what I need to do in order to achieve them. I’ve been able to clearly identify that I spend very little time on anything for myself, whether that be on a professional or a personal level. My greatest insight I guess is that quite quickly I’ve been able to put measures in place that allow me to achieve my short, medium and long-term goals. I’ve got a better clarity of mind and realised I was getting in my own way. I have solutions now to each challenge. I’ve learnt important it is to have ambition and drive.
Tracy is very easy to talk to and it was nice to get to get the reassurance and encouragement. The session made me think/assess things I am aware of & just need to ensure they are put into practice/make time for myself too. I have a mental note and the notes I took from the session to carry out the goals. On the whole I feel happy with my current situation and take each day as it comes – I am a busy person and enjoy it that way so do feel happy with my life at present – the recent changes to my work are to help me going forward. If my situation changes I would not hesitate in contacting you for further coaching.
