What are you passionate about? Me, I am passionate about personal development. Why? Because it is the process of taking control of our lives and creating the life we want to live. Personal development is about creating a life that fills us up, that allows us to perform at our best and allows us to work out what we want and what we don’t want in our lives.

I remember when I first started my coaching journey. I never knew that it would lead me on the road that I am on now. I was feeling quite lost and didn’t know where to start when it came to filling that gap that I was feeling inside.

With so many different options available, it was quite overwhelming. With so many different types of coaches all saying they could help, for me it was important to have someone that I could relate to. I didn’t know what would work for me, or what would be the best use of my time and money but, like most things I do, I took the chance and jumped in. I do this for a lot of things in my life as if it didn’t feel right, I would just adjust the path and move on.

Over the years I have had a few different coaches, all helping me with different needs that I have had and, to be honest I don’t think that I will ever go without having a coach for myself. For me, it’s the thought of someone having my back and pushing me to be the best version of myself, whether it be personally or professionally that excited me when I started, and still excites me today. Alongside this, I also did many online courses which added value to my life both personally and professionally, and still read many books and listen to many podcasts.

What led me to become a coach myself was simply due to my own personal journey and the growth that I had seen in myself. I know what it’s like to be lost and to feel like you’re not good enough. I know what it’s like to try different things and feel like nothing is working. But I also know what it’s like to find your way, and to really feel like you are on a path to becoming the best version of you.

And that is what I want for everyone. I want everyone to have the opportunity to pursue their own personal journey of self-development, and to find what works for them. What lights them up. What fills their well. What energises and motivates them to get to the next level.

So why did I choose High Performance Coaching and why do I feel it’s the best form of coaching, to fill that gap and excel or propel individuals lives. Here are a few reasons below.

• I wanted to impact lives BOTH personally and professionally (not one over the other) and High Performance coaching achieves this
• I wanted something to challenge my clients, as I know great influences challenge us, and push us outside of our normal zone of comfort
• I wanted structure in what I was doing. I wanted to know that each week, my client is learning new tools and developing new habits to help them excel and thrive personally AND professionally
• I wanted a program that had a clear outcome – an outcome to get my clients living a High Performance life, whether that be in the workplace or at home

Let me tell you about Nadia…

I started working with Nadia about a month ago. She was struggling at work to fit in, and ultimately she just wasn’t happy. She was great at her job, but she was finding it difficult to break down the barriers with a couple of her co-workers, and it was causing stress and unhappiness in many parts of her life. After one of our first sessions, I received an email from Nadia telling me that she couldn’t wait for our call and to share her wins with me during the week.

So, what did Nadia do? Nadia went into the office and began being more open, offering her expertise to her co-worker that was causing her a hard time, requesting meetings to de-brief and find out where she could help. She brought in a deck of positivity cards and every day she would read one to her team. This was after just one of our first sessions. The changes that Nadia is implementing in her life in such a short time and the ownership that she is showing is amazing.

So why High Performance? Because these stories are not in isolation, I experience them constantly through working with my clients and watching them implement change.
