What is Personal Life Coaching?

Personal Life coaching is an on-going partnership in which your life coach assists you in fully accessing your own inner resources, recognising and utilising external resources to achieve your desired outcomes and mastery. The key to successful life coaching is effective communication that leads to self empowerment for you and to move you to the next level.

How does Coaching differ from Counselling and Therapy?

Coaching is not counselling or psychotherapy.

Counselling concentrates on specific problems often intensifying the problem and also 'advice' is offered. Coaching focuses on your desired outcomes in the future and allows self-discovery to provide the answers for you.

Therapy assumes there is something wrong with you that needs 'fixing'. Your coach knows you do several things very well and you want to take your life or a specific area of your life (e.g. career) to the next level.

Can Coaching help me?

If you answer ‘Yes’ to any of these questions then your Coach can be of help.

1: Do you feel ‘stuck’ in one or more areas of your life?
2: Do you feel something is missing and you don’t know what it is?
3: Do you feel unhappy or unfulfilled with your achievements to date?
4: Do you have difficulty achieving goals?
5: Do you know you have greater potential?
6: Is it hard for you to be motivated constantly?
7: Are you indecisive?
8: Would you like to achieve balance in several or all areas of your life i.e. between your personal life and your professional commitments?
9: Are you currently facing a major change in your life and unsure of what is the best approach?
10: Do you wish you had a non-judgmental person you could discuss a problem with to help you solve it then continue to support you?

How does Ignite Choice Programs differ from other programs?

Many personal development programs are delivered in group environment i.e. one speaker with many listeners. These programs provide information through the conscious mind and requires the person to diligently follow through on the actions to make the changes permanent or old habits will return soon afterwards.

Our programs are interpersonal and makes changes at both the conscious and subconscious level which ensures permanency and consistent long-term results. The whole focus of our program is on you and your coach is to provide valuable insight to help you achieve your pre-defined outcomes. Our primary intention is to assist you in making changes in your life, bring into your awareness more choices and setting goals to continue moving you forward.

What programs does Ignite Choice offer?

Ignite Choice provides Personal Life Coaching, Executive Coaching and Corporate Training programs. Below is some information about our programs.

Personal Life Coaching

Ignite Choice offers several programs and which program will best suit your needs is discussed at our first meeting. As a guideline here are some facts about our programs.

A 1 hour complementary session is offered to understand your motivation of seeking coaching, which program best suits your needs and to ensure you and your coach both feel comfortable working together.
All programs start with a 3 - 4 hour session to find out more about you and what outcomes you want from your program.
All subsequent sessions are 2 hour sessions usually a week apart. This gives you time to integrate the changes made and get comfortable with the new YOU.
Support between sessions is by e-mail or phone.
All coaching is done on a one-on-one basis usually in person as it produces the best results. Coaching can be done over the phone if distance is restrictive.
All our programs can be customised to better meet your needs.
After your program finishes, support is offered by e-mail, phone or regular update sessions.

Executive Coaching & Corporate Training

Ignite Choice custom builds each program depending on your companies' needs. Our first order of business is to meet with you and see if a mutually beneficial working relationship can be formed. Next we would do a needs analysis to find out exactly what you require. Finally, we will propose a custom built program to meet all your needs.

After I finished my program is there on-going support?

Yes, at Ignite Choice on-going support is very important to ensure your coaching program produces the results that you set for yourself. As with all our programs this is very flexible. E-mail, phone and regular update sessions are all ways we can support you after your program.

E-mail are preferred for non-urgent matters as your coach can answer your questions when they have free time or at night. If you don't have access to e-mail then phone support would be most appropriate.
Phone may be more appropriate for urgent matters. Please phone and we will answer your questions over the phone. If your coach is busy when you phone they will return your call as soon as possible.
Regular sessions after the course can be arranged if this best suits your needs. For example, a 1 hour session each month to check-in to see if your results are as expected and answer any questions. This can also be done over the phone.

What about confidentiality?

Confidentiality and integrity towards our clients, their program and any correspondence are of primary importance at Ignite Choice. It is crucial to the success of your program for you to be courageous in your commitment to examining yourself openly and honestly.

What is my Role in my Program?

You are always in complete control and you decide which areas of your lives you would like to improve.

The success of the program is totally dependant on your willingness to want to change and your efforts in enacting the changes. As you are making a commitment with your time, money and effort we know you are after the best possible outcome for yourself from the program.

Your responsibilities:

1: Be committed to yourself for making positive changes in your life.
2: To take responsibility for your choices.
3: Complete the tasks set. These tasks are always designed to broaden your knowledge and/or give you new skills and abilities in line with your pre-defined outcomes.

What is my Personal Coach’s Role in my Program?

Your personal coach is there to support you in initiating the changes you wish to make and then ensuring the changes are sustainable long-term. Your coach will support you as you strive to achieve mastery in one or many areas of your life.

The major benefit your coach offers you is their impartial viewpoint as they are not directly involved in the situation or event. This can provide clarity to you as they can see alternative viewpoints that you may not have considered. This will provide you with new focus and greater awareness of Choice.

Your coach’s responsibilities:

1: Provide you with the best coaching to maximise your results.
2: Ignite Choice is committed to keeping our skills on the 'cutting edge' and we continue to educate our coaches with the latest skills to ensure the responsibility above is met.
3: Promote self-discovery in order to provide alternative Choices with the utmost integrity and responsibility.
4: Provide clarity for you and allow you to align with your desired outcomes.
5: Work with you to set realistic attainable goals into your new future.
6: Ensure you understand you are responsible for your changes and these changes are made independent of your coach.

Why does my Personal Coach choose to Coach?

Our coaches choose to coach because they enjoy helping people be everything they want to be. They have a real passion for sharing their knowledge and skills. By helping you to be everything you want to be it sets an example to others that they can be anything and everything they wanted to be. This will have a positive effect on every part of your life and everyone you come in contact with.
