WINTER Coaching & Mentoring
Welcome to our process!
Here are some answers to questions you may have…
Coaching is forward focussed process that helps you develop and grow by setting short, medium and long term goals and realistic targets. By recognising where you’re at now (current reality) and using enlightening and incisive questioning techniques, you can design success strategies (options) to help you fast track progress towards goals (way forward). Coaching moves you forward faster!
Mentoring is sharing knowledge, skills and life experience to guide another towards reaching full potential. The Mentor guides and influences the personal and professional growth of a mentee. The Mentor is an experienced and trusted advisor who drives personal growth and builds skills.
A Coach assists their clients to look within and identify goals and actions with the aim to move forward. The Coach’s role is to provide you with supportive encouragement and accountability along the way. Mentoring is where the Mentor/ Coach uses open ended questions to help the client understand issues they are facing, and provide advice and ideas to support the learning process.
Coaching and Mentoring together can assist in removing roadblocks along the journey of self-discovery. The client always takes ownership of the direction, and provides a safe space where opportunities can be explored. Using the valuable experience of the Coach/ Mentor, a client can explore areas of growth where they were once unaware. The Client always holds accountability to their progress.
Coaching is not therapy. Therapy focuses on the past and areas of a person’s life that may benefit from consulting a psychologist. Coaching is future focussed and focuses on life-changing techniques to gain positive results.
Coaching helps you identify what is holding you back, or areas where you wish to improve. By identifying unconscious thoughts and limiting beliefs, you can reframe your life by using SMART goals.
Coaching empowers you to take action in whichever area of your life you feel is holding you back. Working with a coach can help you break unhelpful thought patterns and limiting beliefs. You are encouraged to hold yourself accountable for the direction you want to head.
Having a Coach helps you achieve your goals faster by:
- setting realistic targets,
- identifying blockers to your success,
- helps you have accountability for your actions, and
- empowers you to move forward.
