Think differently

Coaching is really just a way to get more out of yourself than you might be able to on your own. It’s like having someone in your corner who helps you see things differently, stretch a bit further, and show up more fully. You can think of coaching as happening on three levels:

1.     Performance Coaching
This is about helping you show up at your best in the moment. Maybe it’s prepping for a big meeting, making a tough decision, or managing your energy under pressure. It’s focused on what’s right in front of you and how to handle it well.

2.     Life Coaching
This zooms out a bit. It’s about helping you navigate the bigger picture—work, relationships, goals, balance. It’s about asking, how do I get the most out of myself across the whole of my life?

3.     Transformational Coaching
This goes even deeper. It’s a more meaningful conversation about who we are, how we see the world, and what really matters. It’s less about solving problems and more about shifting perspectives and growing into a truer version of yourself.


Feed the stallions and starve the ponies

Many years ago a lecturer explained the “feed the stallions, starve the ponies” life concept to me. He explained what this means: the more we feed and nurture our best attributes, the sooner and greater our chances of achieving our goals will be. I think one of the keys to success in life is to figure out what your strengths are, the formula I have used over the past 25 years is always the same: “Leverage on what is working and just because you can doesn’t mean you should.”
