YOU

 

The most important decision here is whether my approach is right for you. My approach is not for everyone, and it is not meant to be.

 

BriefCoaching® suits people who want things to change, not just to talk about them. It suits people who are prepared to be honest with themselves, take responsibility, and act on what they already know needs doing.

 

You don’t need to have everything figured out before we work together. But you do need to be willing to look directly at your situation and do something about it.

 

People who tend to work well with me are those who:

 

• want things to change now, not “at some point”

• are prepared to reflect honestly, even when it’s uncomfortable

• are willing to act between sessions, not just talk in them

• want challenge as well as support

• want honesty, not platitudes, sympathy, or affirmations

​

This work often appeals to people who appear to be functioning well on the outside but know something is holding them back — confidence, anxiety, past experiences, pressure, or patterns they keep repeating.

 

It is also suited to leaders and executives who want to stop getting in their own way, lead more clearly, and deal with pressure without becoming reactive, withdrawn, or controlling.
 

Feedback and change:

​

Working with me will not always be easy, but you will make the change you want.

​

Talent, insight, or good intentions only get people so far. What actually leads to change will be your discipline — doing the right things consistently, especially when it would be easier not to. My role is to help you be disciplined too.

 

If you work with me, I will care about you and take you seriously. I will say what I think will help you change, not what is easiest to hear.

 

If you are looking for a softer or more indirect approach, or something that mainly involves reassurance or ego-stroking, a different form of support will suit you better.
