Coaching for students
About Myself
I hold an ILM Level 7 Diploma in Executive Coaching and I am a member of the Association for Coaching.
My approach is relaxed, but I am prepared to challenge assumptions and query actions when necessary. I use a range of coaching tools and my questioning is thought-provoking. My coaching enables clients to gain clarity, empowering them create their own solutions.
My coaching brings clarity, enabling you to steer through many of the challenges that life presents.
These could include:
-
Realising your potential
-
Achieving your ambitions
-
Decision making
-
Juggling priorities and making the best use of your time
-
Acting as a sounding board for new ideas
-
Developing personal qualities or skills – e.g. growing your resilience or confidence
-
Coping with stress
And more….
Coaching and Mentoring
I have had more than 25 years of experience as a secondary school teacher and pastoral lead, and I have supported many students facing a variety of challenges. I offer academic coaching and mentoring with Life More Extraordinary Academic Coaching Ltd at https://lifemoreextraordinary.com/
I hold a current enhanced DBS clearance.
A teacher facing a career change and evaluating possibilities
‘David is, in my opinion, such an empathic, caring and decent human being, someone who seems to be constantly reflecting on how he can be a “better” person and who consciously and constantly pays attention to his own actions and his inter-actions with others.’
‘I was encouraged a great deal but necessarily, I think, challenged by David to view situations in a new and different light.’
‘I felt that David was an equal with me and at no stage felt a superiority, piousness or self-righteousness coming from him at all.’
‘David has a kindness, an empathy and a wish to be in service to others that is really obvious and genuine.’
‘As a result of my sessions with David I feel understood, I have taken away approaches, tips, practical information and skills that undoubtedly help me now and will continue to do so in the future.’
