Seeking practical interview preparation from an experienced coach will make all the difference to your performance.

The list goes on…

Our coaches will have a free 10-15 minute introductory chemistry call with the client or manager before any coaching programme.

This call allows the coach to actively listen and understand the coaching need and propose a bespoke coaching programme to meet those needs. The coach will set expectations and will ensure the client knows exactly the cost and what will be involved within each coaching programme.

Firstly, ensure this is the right time for you to take on coaching, and ensure you are in the right frame of mind and open to change. (A call with one of our coaches can assist you with that).

​

Secondly, the more effort you put into the process, the better the results. Give yourself the best chance by ensuring your coaching sessions are completed when you are energised, alert, and ready for action.

Career Development Coaching is focused on your development and effectiveness within the context of your career and work-life.

Life Coaching is focused on your personal effectiveness and development, working typically on areas like increasing your confidence, working to achieve your personal goals in relationships, interpersonally, socially and your overall wellbeing.

At Onelife we coach in a holistic way and tailor our programme if you require confidence coaching or decision making coaching to enable to make a career transition.

Both life coaching and career coaching work by empowering the individual to move themselves forward, understanding your strenghts and giving you the tools and actions needed at that time in your life.

Coaching assumes that you’re a fundamentally healthy person capable of making positive change. If any of our coaches feel there is a need for therapy as opposed to coaching, they gently advise the client at the introduction call.

Therapy assumes pathology and disorder that is limiting your ability to function “normally.” This is a deep and meaningful difference between the two orientations that has a direct impact on the outcomes.
