What is Coaching?

Generally, coaching is where an experienced person helps someone to achieve their professional or personal goals. All of our coaches have attended universities in Europe: the University of London, Dublin City University, Northumbria University and Glamorgan University in Wales.

How it works is that we listen to understand who you are, what you study, what you enjoy, where you think you will be in a few years, what job you want to do, where you want to live – it’s a long conversation that might take a few hours – sometimes people just don’t know the answers to all of these questions – sometimes they are about needing to get a good job, or just to get out of Pakistan – or you might want to follow your parents into the family business. We’ll work out with you what the best path is.

Do your parents want to be involved? Perhaps you want to go abroad and they are worried about this? Or you want to be a philosopher (one of our consultants has degrees from London in Philosophy and Theology) but your parents want you to be a doctor? We’ll mediate and help to find a solution that everyone is happy with.

Do you have a massive budgetary concern? We have been working with a client to make sure that he learns Spanish and learns to provide services on Fiverr so that he can take advantage of free university education in Spain and work to earn the 800 Euros he needs a month to sustain himself. 

One of our clients needed to earn within the next three years and was considering a BSc in Computer Sciences – we worked with her to show her that university was not her path – she is doing vocational courses and picking up serious programming qualifications – we have links to software houses that are excited to take her once she has the necessary skills, which she will pick up in 18 months. 

At the other end, we help busy executives find the right MBA to give their careers a boost, while juggling work and family, as well as the more traditional students who want to go to a great university and study and live in the USA. 

It’s all about taking a lot of time to get to know who you are, what your dreams are and then working out a path to get you there.
