Q&A
Life Coaching
A transformational life coach offers clients a holistic approach to personal and/or professional development that focuses on habit change, mindset shifts, and intentional action. They empower clients to rewrite their narratives and embrace new ways of being, moving beyond limiting beliefs.
Transformational life coaching is part of a cultural shift from a pathology worldview to a resourceful worldview. In a pathology worldview, problems are identified, evaluated, and solutions are implemented, usually by outside experts. In contrast, coaches work with people from a resourceful point of view — collaborating to explore opportunities and identify resources to create an exciting future based on awareness, choice and action.
The number of sessions can range from a few to many, depending on the client's goals, type of change/s required, and the challenges at play. Sustainable change that is lasting will require repetitions and practice. Some clients may see significant changes within 3–6 months of consistent coaching.
As a transformational life coach I can help you in your personal or professional life where we will work collaboratively. You may be seeking help with personal growth, wanting to build self-esteem, boost confidence and understand your values and beliefs. You may be wanting to enhance your emotional intelligence. If you are looking to change career paths, ascend to a leadership role, or even start your own business, transformational coaching can help. Career goals often present uncharted territory where coaching can provide clarity and direction.
When clients explore their beliefs and attitudes that may hinder their growth and success and then consciously cultivate a healthier mindset that helps them embrace challenges and adapt to change, we see a mindset shift. The process is gradual, and progress is made slowly but surely.
English Lessons
I use an engaging, optimistic, friendly and relaxed style in helping you on your English language journey. We will work together collaboratively to co-create a learning style that is tailored to your strengths. This method will help you reach your potential. I see language acquisition of a second language as a conscious, active, and deliberate process where learners act as information processors who use mental strategies to understand, store, and retrieve linguistic information.
My preference is to work with Intermediate, Upper Intermediate and Advanced students.
I can help you with both of these! Presentations require clear and concise content/knowledge of subject area and interviews require sound research and the confidence to do your best.
My lessons are predominantly conversation-based. This is because learning the grammar and structure of English does not teach you to speak the language fluently. Children learn to speak by exposure to their native language, that is, hearing/observing people around them speak, and interacting with people around them. It is the same for adults learning another language. Grammar is acquired through speaking.
I give corrections during the conversation where grammatical errors are present and where pronunciation may need strengthening. When new vocabulary is encountered, we explore the various contexts in which it can be used in sentence structure. I ask students to choose a subject area to speak about or read e.g. an Engoo lesson, as this provides optimal engagement with the content, learning and acquisition. I also recommend that students listen to and read English daily to increase vocabulary.
Yes, you can have coaching with your English lessons. The English lessons are free of charge if you choose to have coaching — you will only need to pay the coaching prices if you choose to have both English lessons and coaching together!
