Alison Graham

In our sessions, my role will be to provide a safe, confidential space for you to identify your goals and your unique set of strengths, characteristics and resources and to help you become empowered and confident in taking the next small positive steps towards realising all your positive potential and getting to where you want to go.

As part of the process I will:
• Ask questions to help you explore and unlock issues and options
• Actively listen to you and reflect back what I hear and see and understand
• Support and challenge you appropriately
• Help you learn, grow and work things out
• Help you explore what support you need and how or where to find it
• Help you explore options and the advantages and disadvantages of different courses of action
• Help you reflect on relevant past experiences to find helpful learnings from them
• Be honest and open with you
• Give you constructive feedback as and when appropriate and agreed
• Support you in identifying specific actions and ways forward to get to where you want to go

Your responsibilities will be to:
• Think about what you would like to explore during your sessions and prepare for them
• Be honest and open in our conversations
• Take responsibility for your learning, self-development and growth
• Capture/take notes on learnings, insights and helpful thoughts and ideas that emerge for you
• Reflect and take appropriate actions between sessions

I have experienced the startlingly helpful impact of working with a coach myself, and I have been professionally trained in business and personal coaching to the International Coaching Federation's Professional Coaching Certificate Level 2. I am a member of the International Coaching Federation and the Association for Coaching and I would be absolutely privileged and excited to work with you towards helping you achieve your ambitions.
