Coaching is a powerful tool that can help you make changes in your personal life, business or career; enhance your relationships with others; improve your performance in any area of your life and most importantly, create the future of your dreams.

There are a number of different types of coaching:

Life coaching helps individuals to identify and achieve personal goals in any area of their life.  A holistic approach is taken, recognising that one area of a client’s life impacts upon another and so addressing personal areas such as relationships or spirituality can in turn lead to improvement in health or achievement of career goals. Life coaching assists individuals who wish to make some form of significant change within any area of their lives.

Business Coaching is the practice of providing support and advice to an individual or group in order to help them recognise ways in which they can improve the effectiveness of their business. Fresh conducts business coaching primarily for small business owners to help them grow their businesses.

Executive Coaching is a form of business coaching which is typically aimed at developing senior managers, directors and key players within a business or corporate setting. It may enhance current performance, taking skills and abilities to a new level and help individuals adapt to new situations or it may address poor performance.

Skills Coaching has some commonalities with one-to-one training. Skills coaching combines a holistic approach to personal development with the ability to focus on the core skills an employee needs to perform in their role.

Team Coaching is usually undertaken in an organisational environment with the purpose of improving team performance. The coaching may consist either of individual coaching of members of a team or coaching the whole team at once, or a combination of the two.   This type of coaching can be an effective way of clarifying team goals, establishing common ground between team members, recognising individuals’ values, needs and strengths and developing a cohesive way of working together to achieve organisational goals.

  • want to make changes in your life and are struggling to make them on your own or you feel there are things holding you back

    • Identification of issues affecting the performance of the organisation
    • Brainstorming of solutions and strategies to move forward
    • Challenging current working practices and identifying new ways of working
    • You have other personal issues which are affecting the performance of your business

  • are a manager wanting to take your level of achievement to new level
  • are having difficulties in managing your team or employees
  • are faced with personal difficulties which are preventing you from working effectively

Fresh Coaching and Training utilises a powerful coaching model and techniques that blast away any barriers or problems that have been preventing you from achieving what you want.  We guarantee you will achieve positive results!

Depending upon your needs, we will tailor a program specifically for you.  During our initial discussion, we will identify what you want to achieve, by when and how you will know that you’ve achieved it.  We will then conduct a detailed personal history to understand the problem.  Once we are both clear of what you want to get out of the program, we will then carry out appropriate interventions to help you achieve your goals.

During these sessions we will always work with you and support you to achieve your goals for the coaching program. There will be tasks to be completed in between sessions – these are always relevant to your coaching and are part of getting the results you want

Fresh Coaching and Training provides a proven system for all our coaching programs.  We offer a 100% Money Back Guarantee because we know it works!

We are so confident that our coaching will work for you that we offer a no-risk, 100% money back guarantee.  If you have completed all aspects of your coaching program and have not felt any benefits of our powerful and effective coaching programs and you don’t see that it’s going to give you the ability to think and act differently to achieve positive results, then at the end of our time together we will simply refund your money.

However, we should mention that in all of coaching sessions to date, this has never happened.

The client is always responsible and accountable for their own actions and non-actions, results and non-results that occur as an outcome of the coaching programs, yet we stand true that coaching works! If you are committed to your transformation, so are we.

You Have Absolutely Nothing To Lose, and Everything To Gain.

Our happy clients

“I loved working with you! You’re easy to talk to, you listen, you know most people in the department which means you understand the context/ situations really well, while being completely trustworthy. I will be calling on you again I’m sure, as I take the next step into more problematic management cases, or go for promotion to the next level”

“The coaching gave me confidence to believe that I am a good at what I do , I just need to sell myself appropriately.  It really helped to have someone impartial to talk with and helped me also to realise that my current workplace isn’t actually a good fit for me.  Catherine was really helpful and gave me some tools to start getting my anxiety and cognitive thinking back on track as well as practical tools to find a role I am more suited to.  I really appreciated Catherine’s professionalism, kindness and empathy.”

“Prior to the coaching I felt lost and overwhelmed and unable to focus every day in my work.  I was seeking management tools to help me be more organised and in control.  The coaching helped me realise and appreciate that it was primarily stress and over work that that was causing my lack of focus and clarity. Once I identified the sources of stress and that my management abilities were largely fine I gained a new sense of confidence and resilience that I could work through the issues, manage the workload as best I could, bring the workload to my managers attention and that the effect it was having on me was completely understandable.  I felt an instant rapport the minute I met Catherine. I loved that she helped me see the bigger picture and realised that there was more going on that just the work stuff.”

“Prior to the coaching, I felt like I was stuck working in a team where I had achieved all I wanted to and needed to work out where my next role would be, both strategically to progress my career and in the right line of work.  I wanted help working out what it was I really wanted to do next and how to go about getting there.  The actiivities during the coaching, specifically the Leadership Branding exercise, helped me think about what my values were and what I was looking for in my next job.  Catherine helped me to talk through options and consider pros and cons and helped to reinforce that I am on the right track.  I really loved having someone independent to bounce ideas, problems, thoughts around with.  THANK YOU! I was hesitant to begin with based on past experience, but you have been really really helpful, and I now recommend coaching to everyone!”

“Hi Catherine, I just wanted to let you know that I was successful in winning the positon!  Thank you so much for your coaching, it helped me prepare an awesome application and feel really calm and relaxed at interview.  Without the coaching I don’t think I would have even made it to interview.”

“Thanks for the training. I think it might be the most valuable training session I have ever been involved in. You really listened to what would help us all and targeted the information so well. I will be recommending your sessions to my team.”

“Prior to the coaching I felt a loss of confidence in myself and my abilities, and not feeling ‘good enough’ – resulting in stress, doubt and anxiety.  I wanted to re-discover my purpose, feel better about myself and not feel under-valued and stressed at work and in my personal life. Find ways to feel recognition without needing to seek it or hear it from others.  I was so glad to feel a connection right from the first session and think ‘Catherine gets me’. The coaching has helped me to realise that I can take back control of my self-image and worth and I don’t have to keep being this version of myself – I can get better, feel better, do better.  Thank you very much for all your support and encouragement through a difficult period in my life. You’ve helped me a great deal and I appreciate the opportunity. I have learned some important things about myself and have had breakthroughs that only you have drawn out of me.”

“I sought out coaching to help boost my confidence and deal with particular management challenges that I have to date been having to deal with, as well as assessing career options, and deciding exactly what I want to do.  The coaching helped me by being able to talk through some techniques, options, and giving me my required reassurances. Just really good to talk through some of my career challenges/options with someone outside of my work area, in an objective way.  I have been able to gain more confidence, see things for what they are and exercise a more relaxed approach to my situation.  I feel so much more relaxed, and at peace with everything really. The coaching experience was overwhelmingly positive!  You clearly know your stuff.  The process has been very fruitful and I cannot recommend your serves enough!”
