WHAT IS COACHING AND HOW CAN IT HELP ME? Coaching focuses on
your future, so it's different from counselling or therapy which examine
your past. Recently, some of Joanne's clients have enjoyed successes including: * Raised confidence and self esteem * Negotiating better rates for their work * Writing books * Stopping procrastination and becoming better at time management * Creating better work life balance * Being featured on TV and in the press You can also read what some of Joanne's former clients have to say here. Even if you just have a vague sense that it's time to make changes in your life but aren't sure what to do next, a coach can help you work out what your next step needs to be.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN I'M BEING COACHED? During your coaching session you'll be asked questions which are designed to stretch you and help you consider your life in new ways. Your
coaching sessions will happen at pre-arranged regular intervals (usually
2-3 times a month). You'll identify goals and the steps you need to take
to get moving. There will be homework between sessions - you decide on
the action you want to commit to. You'll end up doing much more than you
ever would on your own. You'll
have an initial consultation to discuss what you'd like to get out of
coaching. Sessions
will probably be over the telephone. Many clients find they can open up
more in a telephone call than they ever would face to face. It also cuts
down on wasted time because you don't have to travel to a meeting and
sessions can be totally at your convenience.
WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE DO YOU COACH? Joanne says: "I specialise in coaching people who work in the media and creative industries. Having worked in the media for many years as a journalist and TV producer, I have a particular understanding of the challenges people in the media face. Former clients include freelance journalists, PR professionals, former MP's, BBC staff; TV presenters, broadcasters and writers. "Generally, my clients are people in their early twenties to forties who have had a successful career so far, but feel that there is something missing in their lives. On the surface they may seem to have it all, but in their hearts they know that there are things about their life they want to change. They are ready to move to the next level in their life and career. "I also work with business people who want to improve their media skills."
There is no charge for your initial consultation. After that we will work out a time for regular coaching phone calls. I work with most clients for around 8-12 sessions, which lasts around 3 - 6 months. Below are the options for regular coaching sessions. Most clients find it useful to start with 3 sessions a month (Gold service) for the first 2-3 months, then change to 2 sessions a month (Silver or Bronze service) after that. If you have another option in mind which is not listed here please contact me directly to discuss it. I also offer one-off kickstart sessions. Fees for coaching are an investment in yourself and your future. They are generally less than you'd pay for a dress you may never wear or a night out you might not even enjoy. Even if you only have a few coaching sessions, you will appreciate their value for years to come. See below for a full description of each service, including fees.
