Bringing Your Whole Self

A Case Study

Client Background

  • Financial Services Professional

  • Starting her own business

  • Competing priorities both at home and at work creating a real block on achieving success

  • Had some adverse experiences that were preventing her from fully committing to her ambition

 

Coaching Experience

  • Focused on the whole person, recognising that both her professional and personal life were interacting in a way that was inhibiting her success.

  • Focused on the most pressing personal issue first which as resolved with attentive listening and reflecting, enabling the client to re-frame the issue and develop clear actions to resolve

  • As we moved into exploring the professional challenges, I shared psychological models that would help the client deliver on her business plan with newfound confidence

  • Looked back to her past to fully understand some of the blockers she was experiencing might have come from, and to understand how applicable they were in her present

 

Coaching Outcomes

  1. The client resolved a long-standing issue with some of her relationships that were distracting her from developing her business

  2. Through increased confidence and recognition of what fuelled her, the client became proactive in getting what she needed from others

  3. Over the duration of our coaching sessions the client’s increased focus and determination translated into more successful business development that helped her business and earnings to grow

  4. Issues the the client identified in the first session melted away as she became more confident in being able to resolve problems constructively with the new thinking she developed in the coaching sessions
