What is Empowerment Coaching?

Empowerment coaching supports and assists individuals by evoking and developing their self-awareness, confidence and potential to achieve their clearly defined and fulfilling goals. 

Empowerment coaching focuses on 5 things:

1. Goal – What the client wants to achieve.
2. Addressing perceived problems, barriers or obstacles – digging deep into the real issue.
3. Personal power – self-awareness, self-responsibility, inner wisdom, emotional intelligence and potential development and growth.
4. Creating solutions and strategic action planning – A holistic, practical and realistic approach that is doable.
5. Powering through the progression – Support and assistance to refine the plan as you go, sustain motivation and discipline, and hold accountability.

It is a powerful & effective tool that can make a meaningful and impactful difference in a person’s personal and professional life and relationships.

In Empowerment Coaching, the coach and the client team up together in an interdependent partnership where the coach guides the client into a thought-provoking process that allows the client to step up and harness and hone in on their intelligence, wisdom, abilities and capabilities to make their own decisions, create solutions and act on the change they desire to have. In other words, it brings out the best version of themselves by optimising their mindset, eliciting their inner strengths and maintaining their mental and emotional state to be self-sufficient and create the life they want to live.

Who is it for?

Empowerment Coaching can be helpful for people who are struggling with personal, professional, mental, emotional, physical, social and relationship issues. For instance:

• Lack of confidence – doubt, fear, judgement, or criticism.
• Low self-esteem.
• Limiting and unresourceful thoughts, beliefs, values, feelings, mindset, behaviour or habits.
• Feeling overwhelmed by intense mental and emotional states.
• Procrastination.
• Lack of motivation and discipline.
• Lack of clarity – making a decision, purpose, direction or aim. 
• Staying committed, following through, and completing tasks and goals.
• Trying to be fit and healthy.
• Juggling and balancing multiple commitments or tasks.
• Feeling stuck or not moving forward.
• Disorganisation and lack of focus, structure and routine. 
• Poor or unclear communication and language – getting your intention and message across and received well. 
• Maintaining healthy relationships and setting boundaries.
• Situational or intentional change – Transitioning and adapting to a new and different lifestyle or life-changing event.
• Expectations and needs are not being met.

… And much, much more.

I specialise in Empowerment Coaching that caters towards people who struggle to live a fulfilling life with anxiety and depression.

Coaching is suitable for people willing to step up and take charge to work towards change. The coach is the catalyst for change, and the client is the creator of the change and takes action by doing the work with their own hands and ‘walk the talk’.

How does the coaching session work?

Each coaching session is one hour and is 1-on-1. It is a safe, nonjudgmental and fully confidential space.  Generally, the nature of coaching requires multiple sessions that are held regularly (about once a week). This is to maintain the momentum of the progress. The number of coaching sessions needed will depend on the uniqueness of the client’s situation, abilities, capabilities and performance, as well as the size of their goal.
It is an interactive process where the coach guides the client through a series of thought-provoking and effective questions that encourage them to think deeply and expand their thinking capacity. It also encourages the client to hone in on their emotional intelligence – the ability to recognise their own emotions and the emotions of others. The coach listens attentively and actively to guide the client into a resourceful state that allows them to come up with their own solutions to their problem to move forward.
The coach upholds and conducts at a high standard of service and care that is ethical, professional, respectful, empathetic, and compassionate. This includes before, during and aftercare.
The session is either conducted online or over the phone.

During the session, the coach will work with you to construct a practical approach to strategise an action plan for you to complete after and before the next session. You’ll walk away from the session with some support and resources to help you take it from there.
Throughout your coaching journey, you will receive support and assistance correspondence via phone or email from your coach between coaching sessions to check your progress with your action plan.
The follow-up session will be reviewing and refining in accordance with the result and practicality of the progress.

What’s the valuable outcome of Empowerment Coaching?

Empowerment Coaching results in improvements and positive changes on many levels, allowing people to reach new heights. 

Personal 

Empowerment Coaching encourages, supports and assists personal power, development and growth. This results in:

• Feeling and being empowered means that you are the decision-maker, you are in control, and you have the power to create the life or outcome you want to have. 
• Believing, trusting and being confident in yourself. 
• Letting go and releasing conflicts and negative barriers that were holding you back.
• Being the person you want to be.
• Getting to know yourself better and what more you are capable of.
• Being kind, gentle, loving and supportive towards yourself. 
• Gaining more self-awareness, self-confidence, and self-resilience.
• Expanding your skills, knowledge, wisdom, experience and capacity.
• Being more motivated, driven and disciplined. 
• Finding your passion.
• Developing your emotional intelligence (regulating your own emotions and social awareness)
• Changing your way of being, feeling, speaking, listening, seeing, thinking, doing and behaving effectively and purposefully.
• Being and feeling whole, healed and completed.
• Having inner peace

• Increasing ability to be flexible and adapt to change and situations.
• Being a better communicator and listener and influencing people.

 Personal and Professional Performance

Empowerment Coaching can result in the improvement of a person’s self-efficacy, which allows them to perform with excellence. The outcome of this can be:

• Demonstrating self-leadership and self-responsibility. 
• Being self-sufficient, as well as knowing when to ask for help.
• Being an efficient problem-solver.
• Being consistent and persistent in following through on tasks and meeting deadlines.
• Maintaining focus and managing priorities.
• Utilising your whole self and resourcefulness.
• Being at your best and how to project that. 

 Social and Relationships 

Empowerment Coaching can result in achieving harmonious and healthy relationships. This includes relationships in the workplace, with friends and family, intimacy, and even with pets! The valuable outcomes for any social interactions and relationships are:

• Developing and nurturing a new and current relationship with ease and a clear vision of what to look for. E.g. Noticing red flags and deal breakers, shared values, etc. Be more confident in guiding and leading the development of the relationship by nurturing it into a healthy one that is built on trust, respect, understanding, clear rules, and boundaries. 
• Maintaining and sustaining a dynamic relationship long-term. With the right investment of focus, time and effort, the relationship can age well like fine wine. 
• Holding a smooth, calm and engaging conversation while holding yourself confidently with a welcoming, approachable body gesture. You can apply this when talking to a stranger, talking to a customer or client, or doing a presentation.
• Building healthy work relationships – including working or dealing with a difficult person (manager, co-worker or customer/client). Creating a better working environment and overcoming work situations from clashing personalities and communication issues to navigating the conversation by listening actively, connecting with the person and reaching an understanding to achieve a win-win situation.

 Fulfil a dream and achieve goals

The valuable outcome of Empowerment Coaching is that it can help you fulfil your dream and achieve your goals. This results in:

• Clarifying your unique definition of success and happiness.
• Eliciting your strength and courage to pursue it with confidence.
• Gaining clarity about your purpose, vision, goal, values, passion, and direction.
• Creating an exciting, meaningful and fulfilling goal that is sustainable and long-lasting.
• Creating your unique strategic action plan that is clear, simple, realistic, practical and achievable.
• Achieving a healthy and balanced lifestyle
• The satisfaction of completing something and achieving something can be highly rewarding. Some old goals or incomplete goals can dread guilt or burden from their challenges or roadblocks, so having a huge weight lifted off your shoulders can set you free. 
• Reaching a goal can open up more doors and opportunities.
