Awakening Leadership Coaching
Successfully lead yourself, your business and your team
At Awakening Leadership, we recognise that every person is unique and complex. And leadership is a unique and complex too. When exploring personal and professional challenges, we use the six-domain coaching model as a context. The model recognises six domains that may impact the issues at hand:
- goals and aspirations (professional development)
- skills and talent (training)
- roles and relationships (organisational dynamics)
- wider context (the business / workplace environment)
- personal life (home environment and relationships)
- identity, personality and life story (personal development)
While coaching focuses on your own personal empowerment and development, by having a significant grounding in each of the areas mentioned, I am able to contribute skills, perspectives, techniques, approaches and resources that can support you to see the bigger picture, gain greater clarity and perspective, and reach your goals sooner.

Benefits of Coaching
Coaching is a personalised and tailored process of leadership development that is designed to help leaders achieve success both personally and professionally. Executives report that the benefits of having a personal coach include:
- Self awareness*
- Awareness of others
- Communication with others
- A neutral sounding board and fresh perspective on personal and professional challenges
- Achieving relevant goals sooner
* Did you know that professional studies have shown that Self Awareness is a key factor in organisational profitability, and employees willingness to follow? In other research, executives reported that coaching led to organisational improvements in productivity, quality and organisational strength.
How does the Coaching process work?
Coaching sessions are typically conducted as 2x 60 minute zoom sessions each month – frequent enough to keep momentum, and with enough space to allow for integration time between. Most coaching assignments begin as 3 month agreements, after which you may choose to extend your coaching period for a further 3, 6, 9 or 12 months.
In your first coaching session, you will share your goals and any challenges, and we will create a flexible plan for our coaching period. Prior to each session you will have the opportunity to reflect on celebrations, challenges and your intention for the session. Between sessions you will have an opportunity to reflect on your learnings / takeaways and to commit to actions you wish to make going forward. Your coach will also provide you with followup notes and resources as needed.
All coaching sessions are confidential, and are bound by the International Coaching Federation Code of Ethics.

Coaching, training, mentoring, counselling or consulting?
Coaching, as a discipline, fundamentally recognises leaders as the expert in their own lives, and focuses on creating space for reflection, asking powerful questions to support deeper self awareness. Coaching is a solution-focused approach, supporting you to focus on the path forward, and the next steps that will make the biggest difference in relation to your goals.
Training and skills development is another way that leaders can develop. Whereas coaching focuses on helping you reflect on your own best answers, training provides you with information and education. While you are responsible for your professional education in your industry, I do provide education to my clients on best practice tools and techniques that you can use as a leader to increase self awareness, improve communication, reduce stress, cultivate resilience and deepen emotional intelligence.
Mentoring is typically provided by someone who has done the same job as you, or worked in a similar industry, and can share with you their experience, resources and networks. As a leadership coach and through my professional career, I have direct experience of leading a small business, wearing many hats, negotiating contracts, managing and directing, hiring and firing, working in teams, and leading up down and across. While I am happy to draw from these experiences, at the end of the day I trust you to know and find the right approach to your own unique leadership and circumstance.
Counselling and therapy is typically focused on understanding yourself and your life story and healing patterns from the past that may be influencing you in the present. Because I have over 20 years experience as a Journey practitioner who works therapeutically with clients, and I have informally studied psychology and psychotherapy, I am able to support reflections around how these elements may be impacting your leadership, and can provide sessions with a therapeutic focus on request.
Consulting typically focuses on organisational processes and strategic direction. Leadership coaching requires a thorough understanding of these organisational processes in order to see the patterns that are impacting our individual experience, goals and challenges. While consultants directly advise organisations, coaches help leaders to reflect on these organisational processes to make their own best decisions.
