To a Person

Personal Coaching

"Coaching is a professional relationship designed to assist, you the client, to identify and work towards achieving your personal goals or aspirations".

It creates a context where you regularly work on the most important issues in your life.

MJ&A believe coaching helps you to find the confidence that makes you feel 'anything is possible'.

People come to coaching for lots of different reasons, but the bottom line is change. They no longer want things to stay the same but are lacking the confidence to take that first step. "Insanity is about doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result". "Intelligence is the ability to have a fixed goal and be confident and flexible about how to achieve it”.

Your confidence level plays a huge role in determining the results of everything you do in life.

As a confident person you will:

• Have deep faith in your future both personally and in business
• Accurately assess your personal and business capabilities
• Have a general sense of control in your life
• Believe that, within reason, you will be able to do what you desire, plan and expect, no matter what obstacles you encounter.

At MJ&A we deliver results in large measures because of the supportive relationship between us as the coach and you, the coachee. As coaches we recognise that the internal obstacles are often more daunting than the external ones. We see people in terms of their future potential, not their past performance. Our focus in on unlocking your potential in order to maximise your performance.

To a Business Manager/Owner

Opportunity is 'NowHere' - it all depends on How You See It!

Companies who thrive take care of themselves and their employees. This is very important, particularly in the current climate. As a Manager or Business owner you need to be able to manage yourself, manage others and manage the organisation. Your self-perception determines your future. If you don't feel confident and positive about yourself, you are going to have a hard time feeling that way about your employees, not to the extent they deserve.

There is a greater awareness and acceptance of the need for competencies such as communication and relationship skills which are required to influence and motivate employees, managing and adapting to change, providing objective assessments and candid feedback. Emotional intelligence is expected from supervisors, managers and owners. Coaching is seen as a means of achieving and developing such skills.
