'New Pathways' to Personal Growth?

"You’ve always gone the same route so that pathway is well-worn and easy to go down, but in coaching you build new pathways – routes that take you to a better place, and the more you go down them, the easier it becomes."

This is the quote from my 'What is Coaching' page and for me it encapsulates the idea behind what coaching and training facilitate. As humans we like to automate as many processes as possible in our lives. Our minds find it easier and more efficient if we don't have to make conscious decisions every time we have to make a choice.

Road Blocks

Over time we just follow the pathway we have created and most of the time this works for us. Until it doesn't. We hit a road block on that familiar pathway - ways of thinking and acting that used to work for us no longer do. The self-critical thinking that used to motivate us now seems to tear us down. Our go to strategies for coping with pressure at work no longer work and we feel increasingly overwhelmed. Our English speaking and understanding that worked well for our holidays isn't what we need for a new role at work. The way we live in our own country doesn't work in the country we are moving to.

Goal of Coaching and Training

Through coaching or training you gain awareness of where the roadblocks are, where you are getting stuck. You gain new perspectives and skills not only to remove the blocks but actually create new pathways towards where you want to head. It is hard work to change by yourself. Coaching and training are great pathways to personal growth, to overcoming the roadblocks and reaching your goals. They are your pathway to a more rich, rewarding and meaningful life.

So for me to call my business New Pathways - Coaching and Training describes what I offer to you. I will work together with you to guide, support and encourage you in getting unstuck and experiencing new opportunities by finding new pathways to be the person you desire to be.
