The aim of personal coaching is to help you, as an individual, identify and achieve personal goals.
The focus is therefore on meeting your needs as opposed to any agenda imposed by an organisation. However some organisations may invest in personal coaching for their employees recognising that if an individual is contented, having addressed their personal goals, then they will perform more effectively in the work place.
This style of coaching can take many forms and sometimes is also known as
life coaching
where you may look to improve any aspect of your life. It can also include more specific areas such as
relationship
, spirituality or
career coaching
, where you may feel you have a particular need or desire to develop.
Personal or life coaching may be beneficial if you…
want to make changes or decisions in your life, or have some major goals you want to achieve
need to gain clarity about what motivates you and what you would like to achieve
want to reduce the stress in your life or gain a better work-life balance
want to develop your skills, confidence to your full potential
