Introduction

Coaching

Coaching is helping people learn rather than teaching them.  By helping people learn through coaching it means they are in control and more likely to be able to do it when they do not have you there to guide them.
It is essentially about listening and asking questions so the person can make their own decisions, allowing them to feel empowered in the process.

Coaching Children

When it comes to coaching for children, the best person for the job is almost always the parents/guardians.  A large part of parenting is supporting children to reach their potential, uncover what their passions and goals might be, and help them work towards different avenues of success in ways that are meaningful.
When we think about parenting, it is rare that we consider the concepts of goal-setting for our children, the way we do for ourselves, but why not?
This is not about putting pressure on children to make hard decisions about their future but encouraging them to be curious about what life might look like for them.
