Coaching is for people who no longer want to stay the same, who want to enhance the quality of their life and move toward their whole-life potential. Coaching involves charting a step-by-step course of action to reach desired goals that are unique to the individual. As coach, Claire Sutton will keep you on task and be there for you if and when you fall off course.
Many people need coaching today for life management planning.Lives are busy and complex and most people have too much on the go. Statistics show that more and more people are breaking down emotionally. Also, many people have lowered resilience due to increased daily demands. Did you know that an individual today takes in more information in one day than his/her ancestors of the early 1900’s took in during their entire lifetimes. Therefore, as lives evolve and change, (or not change while frustration, resentment and other unhealthy habits take over) it makes extremely good sense to seek help from a professional coach with a mental health background.
Coaching will help you envision the life you want and help you activate the needed steps to move in the right direction for you so that you are pursuing your personal and work-related goals in a full, balanced and meaningful way.
An effective coach helps you stay focused and on-task toward your desired goals, similar to an athletic coach. Your whole-life perspective is always in the spotlight so that your potential is pursued in a balanced manner. There is no success at going all out to reach, for instance, a career goal in a fast-tracked time frame if such an unrealistic time-pursuit is going to damage your health, your relationship, your family or your friendships. Claire will help you achieve your goals in a strong, well-paced and effective way so that you can peak perform at those key times when it is required to do so.
Coaching comes naturally to Claire, she understands the uniqueness of each individual and how to motivate. She has been in the athletic arena. In her past, she was an accomplished tennis and squash player as well as a tennis coach, when in her early 20’s. As a mother she coached the boys’ track and field events in her sons’ elementary school – she encouraged all the boys to participate and watched them achieve personal bests, make new friends and increase their self-esteem as they took their placement ribbons and ear-to-ear smiles home.
Unlike other life/career coach professionals, Claire Sutton has a background in business and a graduate degree in counselling psychology and has honed her skills in solution-focused methods. And, unlike other coaches, she can expertly handle any emotional disturbances that come to the surface during the coaching sessions. Though coaching is not therapy, feelings of fear, anger and depression can emerge and having a skilled clinical professional in your presence is of immeasurable benefit. It is not about “doing therapy” or “delving into one’s past” it is about being able to ask the right questions at the right time in order to free up the tension or unblock the resistance. Once this unblocking occurs, no matter what the issue, then the client can move forward with a new found confidence toward accomplishing the next steps in his/her charted course.
Claire Sutton practices in a Co-active Interaction Style with a focus on Vision-to-Action thinking. That is to say, that the client and the coach work together to create a partnership that meet the client’s needs. Clients have much say in how they want to be coached so that the coaching relationship fits both their working and learning styles. The power that emerges in this partnership comes from the coaching relationship and as a result clients are motivated to achieve their declared goals step by step.
