coaching is about you.
what do you really want? how do you want to feel? what positive changes would you like – for you? for your organization?
coaching
leadership is something which affects and impacts each of us all the days of our lives. like with cholesterol, there is good and there is bad leadership. it means how something is led and managed.
i help to support good leadership in organizations, with individuals, with coaches, with volunteers and with service staff.
organizational coaching – how well a company is run. in an organization, discussing topics such as the composition and running of the board, financial and audit practices, clear roles and responsibilities, transparent practices and management of stakeholders with integrity.
coaching supervision – in the coaching industry, i see governance as being very important. as part of that i am one of a growing number of qualified and accredited coaches who abide by a global code of ethics. having the big picture view is very important for me. that combined with knowing the importance of governance led me to become a coaching supervisor. in this role, i offer coaches a space to reflect on their development as a coach and the quality and sustainability of their practice.
individual coaching – the third category where i see good governance as crucial is in our own individual day-to-day lives. each decision, choice and action results in favorable governance or poor governance in our own lives. mindfully leading our lives and becoming aware that each decision, choice and action we make and take are the strands to create a fulfilling and peaceful tapestry.
volunteer coaching – respecting volunteer workers should be a very basic requirement of organizations who engage volunteers. volunteers thrive in healthy, respectful and meaningful organizations. volunteer governance is crucial both for the organization establishing and engaging volunteers and for the volunteers themselves – a space to explore their role and find meaning with a professional independently and confidentially.
service coaching – many of us serve clients in one way or another – restaurants, industries, retail. service governance works to provide a space to reflect upon our successes with clients and how we can evolve to enhance our collaboration with clients.
whether we are CEO’s, entrepreneurs, governance professionals, remote workers, coaches, millionaires, etc., there are moments in our lives when talking would do us good. there is no shame in that.
What is my commitment to you? I commit to providing you with:
a safe space to explore
a sense of being held and protected
space combined with an efficient and effective way to move forward
a feeling of being wrapped in cotton wool while being gently challenged to move forward in confidence
a feeling of protection and safety while being gently challenged to move forward with confidence
a feeling of a safe and secure back, protection, something to lean on, security
a safe co-leadership where we seamlessly and efficiently move things forward in a unified way
if you would like a safe space for you, drop me a confidential note at siobhan.cahalan@gmail.com
