PERSONAL AND LIFE COACHING

Personal / life coaching is for when you want some help just for yourself. At Templeton Finn, we specialise in coaching professionals like lawyers, accountants and patent and trade mark attorneys, in the following specific areas:

Career Coaching

Most professionals don't plan their careers, because they don't have a clear vision of who they are and what they want to achieve.

Most professionals don't plan their careers – they just let them drift along and then wonder why they aren't as successful or fulfilled as they could be. Common concerns are:

• I'm not sure I want to do this job until I retire.
• I don't know whether to stay at this firm or move on.
• I'm outwardly successful but I'm not enjoying work because inside I'm anxious and worried about being "found out".
• My management style's not working for me or for those I manage!
• I'm sinking under the constant pressure to bill more hours. It's just no fun any more.

You don't have to do a job you don't enjoy (no matter how well paid and outwardly wonderful it might appear!) Often small changes can make big difference but they won't happen on their own.

By spending time with a coach, you can take control of your career and make sure it's fulfilling, rewarding and right for you.

Life Balance Coaching

Many successful people have lost the balance in their lives. This can creep up on you so that it starts to feel normal to spend all your time at work or recovering from work.

Some people don't realise how wrong things are until perhaps they have a health scare or lose someone close to them. It's common to hear the following:

• I never see my family.
• I never see daylight!
• I neglect my health even though I know I'd be more productive if I was healthier.
• I feel stressed out all the time.
• I have to work really long hours to meet my targets.

You're not at your most productive when you live like this. It takes courage to get the balance back in your life, because it involves serious thinking, something we tend to shy away from. But we can support you through the process, and you end up both happier and more effective at work.

Take Control

Coaching and NLP techniques let you take control of your own mind, so you can be motivated to do the things that are important to you and make you happy, and ditch those that harm you.

You only have one life and it's too short to keep putting off the things that matter.
