My name is Stu Barnes and I’m an Executive and Personal Coach.
I often get asked what coaching is…it’s a really good question!
Coaching is a structured conversation to unlock your potential and support your growth, helping you find the answers within. It’s present and future focused, supporting you now to make your future goals a reality. It’s not mentoring, which is usually more directive and advice-based, and it’s not therapy, which usually explores the past to heal trauma.
So what does coaching with me look like in practice?
My programmes are unique to you – we agree your coaching goals and what will look different for you after your programme and use our sessions to explore your goals in depth, providing you with new insights and more clarity to take action.
I have a strong track record of supporting my clients to achieve their goals, improving their self-awareness, confidence, commitment to change, and accountability.
For example:
– I helped a business owner to ‘shed a skin’, transforming their personal and professional brand and allowing them to step up in their leadership role with more clarity and confidence.
– A client engaged me, seeking a new career, keen to pivot from their professional anchor of 20 years. Through our sessions, they realised that by focusing more on their strengths, what energised them, and the work activities they loved, they could reshape their existing business and role to find more fulfilment and happiness.
– I worked with a senior manager to address their imposter feelings in meetings by helping them challenge their limiting beliefs and harnessing their emotional intelligence before, during, and after meetings to grow their confidence.
Let me know if you’d welcome a call to discuss how I can support you, your team, or your organisation.
