Coaching programmes
Take some time to improve the quality of the thinking you do about your life and your career by working with a powerful, empathic, person-centred coach.
Dee has been accredited as a "Thinking Environment" Coach, "Attitudinal Therapist" and in "Myers-Briggs Type Indicator" personality profiling. Having practiced as an Executive Coach and Process Consultant, she draws on 15 years' experience as a development consultant, coach and healer - whilst incorporating relevant aspects of newer approaches; such as The Law of Attraction, Power of Intention and Quantum Change. Her supportive approach combines compassion with practicality.
You may be approaching, or going through, a time of major life change or renewal: such as a career move, change in relationship or retirement. Or it may be that you've become aware that your life feels unfulfilled or out of balance. You want to reflect on the options open to you in the context of your life experiences, and be sure you're choosing what's best for you, now.
Living with vision, meaning and purpose makes the right life choices clearer. You'll be re-energised to achieve goals that bring you, and those you love, the greatest pleasure and reward as you understand how they contribute to the vision you hold of an abundant, healthy and rewarding life.
Living with Vision's range of vision-based coaching programmes, includes:
- Life Coaching
- Life Partnership Coaching
- Career Coaching
- Executive Coaching
- Life Coaching and Healing
The latter two focus on your career and work aspirations, whilst the first two take on a broader life context - and may be combined with Empathic/Intuitive Healing (Essene Reiki at Master Energy level) to enhance the experience through deep relaxation, emotional release and a feeling of connectedness.
Choosing a "Myers-Briggs' Type Indicator" personality and communications style profile and Edgar Schein's "Career Anchors" Personal Values assessment, ensures that any life-changing decisions you take will be grounded in enhanced personal awareness.
Although unique to you, most coaching 'Programmes' take the form of a one-to-one session, usually face-to-face, followed by implementing a plan of action with continued shorter sessions of coaching support, often over the telephone. Face-to-face sessions may take place here, or at a location more convenient to you. All we need is time, peace and focus.
Life Coaching Programme
Our “Living with Vision” Life Coaching programme builds on the knowledge and experience you’ve gained over time, focuses on what you are here to achieve and enables you to build the future you want. Whether this be better, more-loving and balanced relationships, an enhanced career, re-invigorated creativity or a feeling of greater abundance; “if you can see it, you can be it”.
Totally tailored to what you want to achieve, we will start with a session to relax and motivate you, then move on to clarify where you want to be in life, by when. During our second contact session, we’ll take into account your preferences, using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, Career Anchors and Transactional Analysis Drivers, and develop the rest of the coaching programme to match your needs and preferred ways of communicating and working together.
To accommodate this, our second face-to-face coaching session will take about three hours. All other contact sessions will last between 2 and 2.5 hours. In-between these sessions, you’ll be encouraged to keep a journal and to arrange interim telephone coaching.
Contact sessions take place here, at Gorwallt Fach unless you’d prefer us to meet elsewhere. In this case, I request that you make the arrangements for us. (There will be a small charge to cover my travel).
As this programme is designed around you and your needs, pricing and availability will vary. Please contact me directly, to discuss these and anything else about the programme you’d like to know. I look forward to working with you.
Laura (see "Executive Coaching" below) returned in her own time for a double Life Coaching (Breakthrough) session, and wrote: "My time with you last week offered me a fresh perspective. Thank you for your openness and friendship, your mentoring and advice, for giving me time to think and make the most of both of our brains, for sharing your beautiful home and expressive Bess with me. I was so refreshed over the weekend (when I got back) that N. was touched by the difference my time at Gorwallt Fach had made. I have taken some of the models further for the role I start on 1st April (2009) ."
Trevor, a senior European manager from a Global Chemical company approaching early retirement, wrote:
"I wanted to thank you so much for the hypnosis exercise you did. It may not have seemed so at the time, but it was a really significant event for me in that for the first time ever I was able to realise that I am really at peace with the past in my life…. Hooray! It’s so liberating and thank you so much for being part of the process"
Career Coaching
Just because we're told that times are hard, doesn't mean we can't aim for what we want - in our life and in our career. Sometimes, the difficulty lies in not knowing what it is that we want - or how to achieve it.
Using a combination of process skills transfer, coaching and personal development, Living with Vision's Career Coaching Programme will help you clarify your career vision and objectives, raise personal awareness and confidence and help you plan to achieve your 'perfect week', in terms of balancing a healthy, happy, secure life with rewarding work.
Combining 3 face-to-face sessions with on-going email and telephone support over an 8 to 10-week period, Dee's aim is to help you focus on, and really go for, the career of your dreams. The approach will be unique to your situation, needs and objectives, but will include elements from:
- Myers-Briggs Type Indicator profiling: to clarify career preferences and raise awareness of communication styles.
- Edgar Schein's Career Anchors: to clarify the values that relate to your life and work.
- Kepner-Tregoe's Decision Analysis and Action-Planning: to provide structure in designing, or selecting, the perfect job for you - then planning how to achieve it.
- Nancy Kline's Thinking Environment: for surfacing and dealing with any limiting assumptions.
Please give me a ring, on 01691 780452, when you'd like to know more. I look forward to working with you.
Executive Coaching Programme
As an empathetic executive coach, I have worked for over 15 years with managers at all levels in an organisation and at many different stages in their career. What they all had in common was a desire to improve their performance and contribution as managers and leaders.
We will use work-based situations, and build on your own experience, to develop both your practical, creative and interpersonal (Emotional Intelligence) skills.
In the majority of cases, this programme is sponsored by the parent organisation, so its objectives and measures of success can be seen in the context of enhanced business performance.
As an added benefit, the additional thinking and behavioural skills you acquire can be easily transferred to other areas of your life.
The Programme:
The initial programme consists of a series of 4 face-to-face contact sessions, usually at your place of work. These are planned to take 2.5 hours each, though the second session will take longer in order to accommodate your Myers-Briggs Type indicator feedback if you don’t already know this.
A review of progress and fine-tune planning takes place at each session to ensure your needs and goals are identified, clarified and achieved. More sessions can be added to the programme provided additional goals and benefits have been identified.
Please contact me directly, to discuss pricing and availabilty and anything else about the programme you’d like to know.
I look forward to working with you.
Laura, Project Manager for a National Charity, wrote:
"Dee is the most supportive and positive coach I have worked with, combining her knowledge of business and personal ways of working with an unusual skill in listening. My four coaching sessions were the most positive step forward; the most thought-provoking and action-oriented learning I have taken in my working life. They also represent a wonderful realisation and time of positive change in my life, both personally and professionally. I cannot recommend Dee highly enough."
Life Partnership Coaching Programme
We often forget that, as we bring about change in our own life, we effect our relationships with those around us and cause their lives, too, to change. Living-with-Vision's unique approach to "Life Partnership Coaching" invites couples, faced with change, to attend coaching sessions together.
Or, if you ever hear yourself say about your partner that they "just don't undestand me!" - then, see if you can bring them along.
The overall aims of these sessions are to:
- improve your understanding of each other's communication styles so you can really understand what the other is saying, and ask the right questions to find out what they're thinking. (Based on Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Communication Styles)
- clarify what you both value as fundamentally important in your lives (based on Career Anchors Orientation Inventory)
- use this clarity as the foundation for building an abundant, joyful and meaningful future together (drawing on Visioning, Manifesting Abundance and Action-Planning for Success)
Please note: This coaching programme aims to help you build on what, is hoped, is already a successful relationship, it is NOT intended to replace relationship therapy.
Again, this very personal programme is specifically designed around you and your needs and aims. So, pricing and availability will vary. Please contact me directly (Dee on 01691 780452) to discuss these, and any other questions you may have.
You may also wish to consider taking a joint Retreat as a total escape from daily routine in which to focus on life options and direction. (Please see the Retreats page for more details)
Life Coaching with Healing
Sometimes we're too busy and stressed to be able to feel what's really going on 'inside'. Yet, if we can't access all this intuitive information, how can we make fully balanced decisions about the next stage in our lives? I have found, from experience, that including Empathic Healing (Essene Reiki) as part of a Life Coaching Session really helps people move through life-limiting emotional, spiritual and physical barriers.
As Jane, found:
Please be aware that, as this takes the length of a contact session to 4 hours (2.5 hours coaching, with nearly 1.5 hours Reiki), combined Life Coaching with Reiki sessions are held on weekday afternoons only.
