About coaching
Why coaching?
We know people in leadership roles working or volunteering to support those most in need in our region can feel lonely, overstretched and burnt out, and can find it hard to make time for their own development. Coaching is a great tool to help you grow, learn more about yourself, work out what you want to do, help you solve problems and think through a tricky situation. Coaching can also help you when you’re in a good place to plan your next steps, achieve a goal and become even better in your role.
What is coaching?
Coaching gives you the time to think and reflect; to talk with someone independent about you and your aspirations. Your coach will work collaboratively with you and use questioning, listening, observation and feedback to help you find your way forward.
How can coaching help you?
