WHAT IS COACHING?

There are many styles of coaching and it is an industry that is constantly evolving, which is reassuring to know that the home of professional and personal development, is always improving itself.

Coaching follows a framework which will be adapted to you and the specific outcome you are working towards. During the coaching process you will discover what is most important to you and what motivates you, and what makes you fearful and holds you back.

Coaching involves being future-focused and action-based, as well as exploratory and revealing, and it also holds you accountable for your actions and holds up the mirror to see yourself as you really are - worts and all!

Step out of your shadow

Rediscover how to use your voice and presence powerfully

At the core, coaching enables you to build a deep and honest relationship with yourself, allowing you to zoom into the detail of your life, make some discoveries, tweaks or dramatic changes (it is all our choice remember!). Then zoom back out to the Bigger Picture to see the difference they make. The great thing is there's no limit, that you can do this as many times as you like and keeping growing.

This is the gold dust coaching uncovers, from which you can create the life you want in the quickest and most authentic way possible.

THE FOUNDATIONS OF COACHING

1. FUTURE-FOCUSED
Coaching focuses on the future, whilst acknowledging things that have happened in the past that informs your behaviour today and could be holding you back in present.

2. OUTCOME DRIVEN
Coaching is about focusing on the end result and the steps and actions you need to take to get there. What is the goal, outcome or success you want to achieve?

3. BRIDGING THE GAP
Coaching is assisting people to achieve their life goals by getting clarity on where they want to be, where they are now, and what is stopping them from getting there.

4. DISCOVERING YOURSELF
Coaching is uncovering your values and beliefs systems that help and hinder you, by learning how you can break unhelpful patterns and align yourself to what is important to you. Change your behaviour now to create the future you want.

5. FAST PACED
Coaching is an accelerated process to get you to your dreams faster, or in a way you might not have been able to alone.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO?

4. BE OPEN AND HONEST
5. BE ACCOUNTABLE

8. LEARN TO BECOME YOUR OWN COACH
YOUR COACH'S JOB is to manage the process, guiding you to explore your thoughts, feelings and actions. I will select tasks and tools along the way that are best suited to your needs and desired outcomes.
My promise to you is, I will be absolutely committed to helping you and the journey you take.
Coaching is not therapy, it focusing on the future, accepting where you are now, and being accountable for the steps you are taking to get us to the outcomes you want, no matter how big or small. Coaching can bring up emotions but it is not intended to unpick or understand past events and traumas, however coaching can help you can take learnings from the past to make changes for the future.

PROFESSIONALS, FREELANCERS & WORKPLACE COACHING

With 20 years experience as a freelancer in the creative industries, Jo understands the pressure, stress, anxiety, need to ‘perform’, and even bullying that many people experience in the workplace.

So whether you want to improve confidence, stress, anxiety, work/life balance, create boundaries, improve communication, make career progression/changes, achieve greater results for yourself, your team or your business, Bigger Picture Life can really help.

Whether you are an employee in a crew of many, run a small business, the boss or a freelancer, being our best and authentic selves at work can be extremely challenging. We can find ourselves playing the role of our job title (the 'in control' boss or 'people-pleasing' assistant) rather than being ourself, who happens to 'do' a certain job. Very often we can find that our identities are wrapped up in our job and industry, and that we are conditioned to behave in a certain way.

That was certainly the case for me. Coaching for Professionals, Freelancers and the Workplace, focuses on finding the person we are within the job we do.

Discovering your strengths and areas of challenge is key to achieving your professional aspirations.
