Is a coach who only cares about whether or not you did what you said you would do. Now obviously, if you don't ever do the things you say you will do, it doesn't matter how great a coach I am, this is not going to work for you. Assuming therefore, that you will be continually working on the goals we have established, I will also be paying attention & showing interest in other areas of your life...everything & anything you feel comfortable sharing with me. Then together, we will see those things come into line with all that God has for you. "Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4
Is holistic support, by which I mean whatever resources I have at my disposal including things like decades of Christian leadership experience; Christian & secular book recommendations; marriage & parenting tips, advice, counsel, especially for those times when it appears to have gone very wrong!
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds; because you know the testing of your faith produces perseverance., and perseverance must finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." James 1:2-4
To the process, is a journey of transformation that may never have happened otherwise. Showing up, putting the work in, focusing on the solutions, and trusting that God is with you is the only way things change in the end. Act as if it all depends on you, and pray as if it all depends on God has always seemed a decent way forward, to me.
"Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established."
Proverbs 16:11
“I have been working with Paul for more than ten years and, during this time, he has played a key part in supporting my career development as I have taken on roles of increasing responsibility within my organisation. The 1:1 coaching he has provided has not only facilitated my development as a leader but also enabled me to balance the demands both inside and outside of work; achieving a greater balance in my life. Throughout this process, he has constantly challenged me to be brutally honest with myself about my feelings and motivations, forcing me to confront and address the key issues and challenges that I have been facing.“
Paul's executive coaching enabled me to accurately assess the opportunities/challenges that were ahead of me. We quickly established a great rapport and created some real momentum. Within a few months I had gained clarity around the next step for my career, I secured an exciting opportunity with a C-Suite role and Paul continued to provide expert insight and essential accountability. With continued support I had a very successful stint in that role and after just 15 months and due to changing market dynamics an opportunity that I thought was 5 years away came along and I jumped on it. In all this Paul has been my rock and sounding board, helping me assess options and tackling hidden blockers. I cannot recommend him highly enough.“
Since December 2019, Paul has been alongside me on my journey. I often describe myself as both the rudder and the propellor, but Paul is right there in the boat with me. He keeps me accountable to the goals I’ve carefully crafted, challenges me to pause and think rather than just keep my head down on the here and now, and brings an independent voice that champions the priorities no one else is looking out for.
When the noise of clients, projects, and daily demands threaten to drown out what really matters, Paul helps me to sustain long term focus on the bigger picture. With his support, I’ve been able to find balance, unlock passion, and maintain momentum on the goals that matter most.
