Here at Nudge, we often get asked what it’s like to work with a coach.
As there are so many out there – fitness coach, nutrition coach, motivational coach, etc, etc as well as many leadership and executive coaches – it’s best for us to share an insight into how Nudge coaches and give you a flavour of what it’s like to be coached by Sally Dhillon – Nudge’s founder and leader.
In Nudge – the story behind the name, we gave a deeper insight into the history of Nudge Forward leadership coaching, including the inspiration for our business’ name, and a brilliant description of Nudge’s objective: to nudge you into taking action on your goals.
A typical coaching session
During a coaching session, the nudge might come in the form of a raising of an eyebrow, a look, a physical gesture, a metaphorical kick – but more likely from a powerful question.
Coaching conversations
Sally’s coaching, in its simplest form, is a conversation. A conversation with intention, safety, trust, confidence and agreement, focused on helping you to move from where you are NOW (perhaps feeling stuck, overwhelmed, lost, unseen and unheard) to where you want to be in the FUTURE (perhaps feeling valued, being heard and seen – having strategic influence and significant impact on the key things that are important to you).
Powerful questions
These conversations can lead to profound changes – by using powerful questions.
“The art of coaching at Nudge, is the offering of an appropriate nudge just at the right time.”
The appropriateness of the nudge takes the form of tuning into your needs in that moment – perhaps a supportive, gentle nudge or a provocative, challenging nudge.
Sally’s investment of time, energy and funds put into developing their coaching capability over their 30+ years career is all ploughed into those key moments of providing you with a nudge.
Coaching sessions involve attuning ourselves to your unique situation, your challenges, your strengths, your blind spots and your fears during our coaching conversations. This will enable us to explore, play with and realise the key missing ingredients that are going to help you unlock your desired future.
This will set you on a path to achieving extraordinary outcomes – outcomes that are possibly beyond what you can imagine and dream of right now.
Here’s a special nudge just for you 3 powerful questions for you to ponder:
1. What’s one thing you could change that will make the biggest difference to you/your organisation?
2. What’s stopping you?
3. What’s the first step you can take today to create this change?
We would love to hear your responses – contact Sally now to let us know.
No one needs to have a coach
Of course, many leaders crack on, making things happen by themselves, working alone or with their teams. They have successfully led action, change and results for years. After all, no one actually needs to have a coach. But many, many leaders have found immense value in working with a coach – someone to use as a sounding board, a reflective partner to champion them through the change they want to see and beyond.
