'Not only were the coaching sessions
beneficial, they were also fun.'
David Creevy, a classical guitarist shares his thoughts
on the benefits of coaching. One of David's goals,
was to have his own concert in the National Concert Hall and
as a result of on-going effort and not losing sight of his
goal, his concert takes place in the National Concert Hall
on October 3rd.
'I sought out coaching to enhance my self confidence. Very
quickly, I began to develop a deeper belief in my own abilities
and I had a heightened desire to achieve my ambitions. As
a result of coaching my goals were clearer and seemed more
real to me. With James' support, we explored my strengths,
weaknesses and the limiting beliefs that were holding me back
from achieving what I wanted and realising my potential. I
went on to develop strategies that turned these apparent weaknesses
and limitations into triggers for me to believe in myself
even more, which was and remains a very powerful skill to
have.'
'Another great benefit of coaching for me was establishing
and writing down my goals which focused my mind on achievable
targets. This helped to silence my racing mind as I was prone
to unnecessary worrying. This began the unfolding of effective
strategies which empowered me to work step by step towards
the achievement of my goals. In short, the energy
I wasted on worrying is now spent on doing.'
