Personal Career Coaching

Life is busy and demanding and we often don't afford ourselves the luxury of stopping to evaluate our career:

  • Is my career going in the right direction?
  • Am I doing the best I can do?
  • When am I going to be promoted?
  • How can I live up to everyone's expectations?
  • What is stopping me achieving my ambitions and aspirations?
  • How can I get what I need from this job?
  • What do I want from my career?
  • There must be more to life than this?
  • Why do I feel so frustrated and uninspired?
  • Where did I go wrong?

We may ask ourselves these questions when facing major change or upheaval or we may just reach a point when we think enough is enough - it's time to move on.

Do any of these scenarios strike a cord with you?

How Catherine Dudmesh Coaching can Help?

I believe we all have the innate talent and resources we need to reach our goals - sometimes the way forward is blocked by barriers and obstacles we hardly even know are there. When we work together as coach and client, we will find the key that unlocks your potential and gets you moving to where you want to be - the process will be invigorating and challenging, practical and exciting. Coaching with Catherine Dudmesh is a powerfully effective means of creating change for the better. It is an ideal approach for anyone who is wants to create a compelling future.

Coaching with me will give you

  • clarity of thought and purpose, focusing on your aspirations in real and practical terms
  • self awareness about how you are performing and behaving and the barriers that are getting in your way, challenging limiting beliefs and asking penetrating questions to elicit new ways of thinking
  • possibiltities on how to reach your goal
  • an action plan and the drive and determination to make it happen

As your coach, I will support you through the process - helping you to think out loud, encouraging you and sometimes challenging you. Above all, you make it happen - you determine your actions and follow them through. It is your resources and capabilities that make it happen - I simply come with you on your journey. Our coaching relationship is based on trust, honesty, openness and a willingness to change; it is confidential, non-judgemental, and non-directive

The Coaching Programme - How it Works

The coaching process is very focused around your specific goal, so the overall programme usually takes two to three months as self-awareness and personal development deepens and new possibilities are explored.

Each programme is structured around the individual needs of the client - in my experience a minimum of four and an average of six sessions are required to make significant and long-term progress.

I typically work on weekly or fortnightly sessions in the first instance to develop the goal and to gain forward momentum. Review sessions at monthly intervals work to keep you on track and monitor progress and maybe to reshape the goal as your plan evolves.

The programme is reviewed on a regular basis to ensure continuing progress - I will take the lead from you as to when the coaching sessions have reached their natural conclusion.

Coaching sessions can be either over the phone or face to face, or a combination of the two. Many clients with busy schedules find the phone is the most convenient and focused way of working on an ongoing basis. I will fit in with your schedule so I offer coaching during the early morning, lunchtime and early evening as well as normal office hours. All I ask is that you have peace and quiet to focus your thoughts and a landline to ensure good phone reception.
