Personal & Business Performance Coach : Christine Stocker-Gibson
Current Position: Founder of Pathways for Life Deciding that 59 was just too young to contemplate retirement, I seized the opportunity to retrain to become a coach. Until recently, I’d worked within public sector organisations, run charities and done voluntary work for community groups. Christine began her training with a Parent Coach day with The Coaching Academy’s Lorraine Thomas, swiftly followed by the Personal Coaching Diploma weekend this month. She begins an independent NLP Practitioner course in September, and the Academy’s Corporate & Executive Coaching programme in 2008. Goals: To use her coach training and NLP knowledge to run parent-and-teen and grandparent-and-child coaching workshops as part of a family-centred approach to relationship building and conflict resolution. She has already taken steps towards this by finding other coaches to work as a consortium. She is actively seeking fellow baby-boomers to coach to blossom anew in their 3rd age. Affiliations & Commitments
In Christine's words .... 'Everyone has a piece of gold inside them but as we go through life, sometimes it becomes tarnished and loses its shine. Sometimes we get so caught up in everyday things that we forget we even have it. I help people to find their gold again, so they can polish it and display it with pride' Your past need not be your future. Together we can move you from where you are now to where you want to be by revealing and strengthening your unique skills, interests, and hopes. By helping you overcome self-doubt you will find new energy to set positive personal goals and the stepping stones to achieve them. A good analogy is that of a lost pilot. He has the skills but his instruments are not working. I am the traffic controller, together we will land safely, ready to take off for new exciting destinations! My coaching style is a rich blend of the traditional motivational GROW (Goals, Reality, Opportunities, Will) planning, laced with valuable NLP learning techniques and seasoned with helpful emotion management tips. My role is to help you stand back and look at your situation clearly, and inspire and empower you to take responsibility for taking the steps towards achieving what you want for yourself. I do this by providing a 'toolkit' to help you clarify your thinking, to look at options and the obstacles that prevent you from achieving them (including your own self-doubts), and valuable techniques for banishing negative thinking and creating new energy to support you through this life changing journey. Your commitment, should you accept it, is to be honest with yourself in exploring your reasons for not achieving what you want, and in considering options for future success, and to work in partnership with me to find new ways of thinking which, I promise, will reshape your life forever! Sessions are always 1:1 and may be face to face, but most popularly are done over the phone to suit the busy lives we all lead today. They are usually followed up by email. Sessions are 60 minutes unless otherwise arranged. |
