SJM Coaching & Training

Coaching is a one-to-one relationship between you and a skilled and experienced Coach. You and your Coach talk at regularly-scheduled times, usually weekly. This is an absolutely confidential and trusting dialogue.

Coaching is a very powerful framework within which you achieve the results and sustain the changes you want in your life. Your Coach supports and champions you while at the same time holding you accountable for what you say is important to you.

With Coaching you will:

• Bring greater focus, depth and balance to your life
• Gain clarity, insight and tools to move forward towards your goals
• Make successful transitions, personally and professionally, within a safe context
• Make personal and professional choices with assurance
• Be heard, supported and challenged
• Engage deeply in the process of everyday living
• Define success on your own terms
• Achieve the results you want
• Have both your dreams and your practical reality taken seriously.

The way in which people choose to use Coaching varies. Generally, after an initial conversation to ensure Coaching is right for you, weekly sessions are scheduled on a regular basis. Each session lasts fifty minutes and takes place in person or by phone.

The coaching relationship is a process. You are invited to commit to the relationship for at least three months if you really want to make changes and begin to see results in your day-to-day life.

There are times when a stand-alone double session can work very well. For instance if you:

• Feel the need for some reflection
• Are at a crossroads and need to make tough choices

A standalone session can give you the opportunity to stand back, gain perspective and plan specific next steps.

At important transitions in life, the opportunity to stand back can make all the difference. If you are retiring, getting married, starting a business or just starting again, Coaching can ensure that you make the very most of major life changes. This is true whether you’ve chosen the specific circumstances you find yourself in, or not. A Coaching Session can be as close as you can get to having “hindsight” for choices you haven’t yet made.

“The sound of the genuine in yourself is the only true guide you will ever have.
If you cannot hear it, you will, all of your life, spend your days
on the ends of strings that somebody else pulls."
~ Howard Thurman, 1900~

“Leap of Faith”

There are things each of us want to do, but somehow don’t. There are things we want to change, yet the internal pressure to take action is often ignored. “Leap of Faith” is an opportunity to take a stand for the quality of your daily life.

Over eight weeks, you will reap the benefits of one-to-one coaching along with small-group sessions. This is “time out” without having to take a costly sabbatical. “Leap of Faith” provides a safe, imaginative environment where it’s possible to step away from well-worn paths of experience and into the potential that lies just below the surface.

“Leap of Faith” provides the understanding, tools and ongoing motivation to put meaningful, sustainable changes in motion. It’s a practical, life-affirming and insightful programme for personal growth.

“Leap of Faith” helps you to:

• Reconnect to what matters and integrate this into your daily experience
• Look squarely at current situations and make positive choices
• Identify your values and uncover deeper sources of joy in life
• Re-evaluate your priorities so that change can happen
• Listen to what you deeply know to be true for yourself

The format: Over eight weeks, you’ll participate in five focused one-day sessions (in a group of four) and three one-to-one coaching sessions with Sarah-Jane in person or by telephone.

Times: 9.30am to 2.30pm for the group sessions. One hour, scheduled at your convenience, on the three coaching days.

Dates: Fridays from 21st May to 9th July 2010

Where: The Little Village Hall, Blockley, Moreton in Marsh

Cost: £435. Lunch will be an additional cost at a friendly café in the village or you can bring your own and we’ll eat together.

Coaching testimonials

Working with Sarah-Jane has allowed me to evaluate my life at this specific moment in time. I’ve learned practical ways of making important decisions and implementing change. Most importantly, I have come away with powerful tools I can use in the future.
Debbie, author

Sarah-Jane’s positive and engaged style has been great for me. At a major change in my life, working with her helped me become really present to what’s around me in a very powerful and alive way.
Mark, musician

Sarah-Jane is so aware of how women have multiple roles and responsibilities and how this adds value to their lives, family and society. Sarah-Jane challenged my preconceptions and encouraged me to be independent yet supported and nourished. Most of all Sarah-Jane helped me think on my feet and motivated me to take full ownership of my future.
Ann, therapist

Working with Sarah-Jane I was encouraged to think more deeply and reflect on troublesome situations from totally different perspectives. Her amazing capacity to be both challenging and nurturing has allowed me to make changes to deeply-rooted beliefs I was unconscious of holding that were unhelpful to me. Working with Sarah-Jane has been a truly rewarding experience, at many levels.
Alison, Finance Manager
