Colin's coaching philosophy centers on facilitating your "best thinking." He employs a method that helps you connect with your professional and personal aspirations in a way that fosters intrinsic motivation, making goals feel like a natural pull rather than an external push. Through collaborative exploration, you can gain profound insights into the obstacles hindering your progress and develop strategies to overcome them, all while staying authentic to your core values. Essentially, he empowers you to work more effectively by identifying and implementing changes that yield the greatest impact. During the process of defining your action plan, Colin will encourage a comprehensive view, considering your relationships, organizational dynamics, and how to enlist support from others. He firmly believes in the inherent capacity for growth in everyone, recognizing that individuals can sometimes feel impeded. This can stem from being too immersed in a situation or from emotional responses clouding clear judgment. His background in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers a valuable framework for understanding the roots of these challenges and uncovering sustainable pathways forward. Colin holds an ICF credential at the ACC level. He is also a Member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) and is certified to administer various psychometric assessments, including MBTI, Team Management Profile, and LIFO, which can offer valuable self-awareness and team insights.
