Personal Development Coach

Become the person and professional you want to be, with the life you want.

What does a Personal Development coach do?

I help individuals achieve their personal and professional goals by providing guidance, support, and strategies for self-improvement. Working with clients to identify their strengths, weaknesses, and areas for growth, we develop personalised plans to help them reach their potential. We focus on various aspects of life, including career advancement, work-life balance, confidence building, relationship improvement, and overall well-being. My role is to motivate, challenge, and hold clients accountable to ensure they stay on track toward their objectives.

How does personal development coaching work?

Personal development coaching helps you understand your existing thought patterns and beliefs, identify areas for improvement, and develop strategies to achieve your personal and/or professional goals.

Unlike tractional coaching, we use self-quantification tools to create a detailed biological profile that highlights your natural strengths, and weaknesses. This enables us to create a bespoke plan that supports your innate biology, allowing you to unleash your potential.

Who do we help?

  • Individuals

    We help individuals achieve their potential through tailored guidance on physical movement, stress management, sleep, and nutrition, mental resilience, relationships and more. Our approach empowers you to build enduring mental and physical health that is tailored to your unique biology. By understanding and mapping your specific needs, we can help you become a stronger, healthier version of yourself.

  • Organisations

    We partner with organisations committed to establishing a resilient workforce with sustainable mental and physical health at its core. . We can help you build a sustainable and healthy workforce that will lead to superior employee engagement and retention, and ultimately enhance organisational performance.

Understanding Biology-Based Coaching

Biology-based coaching is an approach that recognises the fundamental impact of your unique biology on your daily decisions. It involves understanding and leveraging your inherent characteristics to optimise your potential.

This approach acknowledges that each person is biochemically and genetically distinct, requiring a personalised approach to life. By gaining a deeper understanding of how your biology influences your decisions, reactions, and beliefs, you can optimise your choices and make decisions that support your biology rather than fight against it.

Ultimately, biology-based coaching empowers you to actively drive your potential. It offers a holistic and personalised approach that honours your complexity and individuality, paving the way for customised strategies and transformative outcomes."

Health and performance is about balancing many different disciplines; exercise, nutrition, sleep, breathing, strength and mental fitness to name just a few. My work with clients ensures they are addressing the most appropriate aspects of their health at any given time. I also work with specialist partners when specific external skills are required, and the ongoing relationship I have with my clients allows us to work in balance to reach their goals without ever becoming overwhelmed.
