WHY CHOOSE COACHING

A SAFE SPACE TO TAKE CONTROL AGAIN

We all have those times in life when everything gets muddled and we can lose ourselves, our direction and what is important to us

ESTABLISH YOUR CORE VALUES AND BELIEFS

The only way that each and every person is going to get better at what they do is through reflection.
Aligning to your true values is a crucial aspect of self-development

MOVE OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE

Sometimes all we need is that nudge or support to push through your comfort zone and open a whole new world and chapter

REGAIN YOURSELF TO REGAIN PERFORMANCE

Individuals with high morale and self perception outperform their counterparts.
It’s not something you have to do but it’s something you should do

EMPOWER HIDDEN TALENTS

Explore blindspots or hidden wishes. Uncover aspects or skills about ourselves,
our behaviours and attitudes that we never knew

BETTER FOCUS, LESS STRESS, MORE CREATIVITY

Taking the muddle out, creating meaningful direction and goals

WHY CHOOSE ESCAPADA COACHING

Coaching with Escapada means coaching with the lastest neuroscience research and techniques. This approach, teamed with 20 years in the health industry and managing two businesses from start-up stage, gives a unique understanding of the key drivers of change for individual performance and health.  Leaders in the world of business, executive, and life coaching, often say the science most closely related to coaching is neuroscience, because it explains so much about human behavior, habits, and the achievement of goals. This is why a whole-system style of coaching is vital to coach on an individual basis and achieve individual success.

WHAT DOES NEUROSCIENCE HAVE TO DO WITH COACHING?

Everything. We are biological beings that have different evolutionary echos, different experiences, different cultural and social exposure which all drive our own unique set of values and belief systems. Coaching with neuroscience techniques honours that both genetics and the environment interact in the brain to shape our brains and influence behaviour rather than the old style linear approach to coaching. What this gives us is a very exciting and dynamic style to coaching that drives behavioural change that leads to long lasting transformation. So what does this mean for coaching clients:

A non-linear approach to coaching that will evolve, adapt and grow with their individual needs to evoke and activate transformation. 

“ Coaching can be challenging and uncomfortable but working through this is where the gold lies”

IS COACHING FOR ME?

One of the most common questions is ‘What is the difference between counselling and coaching?’. Counselling can be described as unravelling the past in order to move forward, whereas coaching can be described as unravelling and assessing the present in order to move forward. So the simple answer is, everyone can be coached however the agenda needs to be coachable rather than being more appropriate to counselling.

It is an exiting time in the world of Coaching. Covid 19 has asked us to adapt and be flexible in a very short time despite our evolutionary echos and belief systems. It has effectively opened up our minds to how different things can be and how quickly that can happen. Imagine applying this to self limiting beliefs and attitudes that we have in order to remove the obstacles or blocks that we can all carry? Health and wellness coaching, in particular, is emerging as powerful interventions to help people reflect, initiate and maintain sustainable change and transformation. 

Therefore,

Everyone from self-starters to CEOs, to a busy stay-at-home mom can benefit from coaching. 

Your coach will be your expert guide in helping you swim strongly through the ocean of life.  Coaching is a strategic and purposeful therapeutic tool to facilitate change. So what is holding you back?

Where to Start - The Wheel of Life

Sometimes what stands in our way of moving forward is not knowing where to start. That's when it's time to take a "helicopter view" of your life, so that you can bring things back into balance.

This is where the Wheel of Life (or Life Wheel) can help. Commonly used by professional life coaches, it helps you consider each area of your life in turn and assess what's off balance. As such, it helps you to identify areas that need more attention.

How to Fill Out The Life Balance Wheel

When we score our satisfaction levels against each of the wheel categories, it gives us a great helicopter view of what is - and isn't - working for us in life. We rate our satisfaction with each category on the wheel by simply drawing a line. Then by rating the different segments for satisfaction, we will clearly see which areas of our life need attention.

Once completed the wheel will likely look 'bumpy'. We may then choose to set goals or create an action plan around the areas of life where satisfaction is low. You can use this tool regularly to check in and you will clearly see how you are progressing. You can then see your live becoming more balanced.

1. Brainstorm Life Areas

Start by brainstorming the six to eight dimensions of your life that are important for you. Different approaches to this are:

• The roles you play in life, for example: husband/wife, father/mother, manager, colleague, team member, sports player, community leader, or friend.

• Areas of life that are important to you, for example: artistic expression, positive attitude, career, education, family, friends, financial freedom, physical challenge, pleasure, or public service.

• Your own combination of these (or different) things, reflecting the things that are your priorities in life.

Or you can use the ones provided on this Wheel of Life example.

2. Write These Down on the Wheel

Write down these dimensions on the diagram, one on each spoke of the life wheel.

3. Assess Each Area

This approach assumes that you will be happy and fulfilled if you can find the right balance of attention for each of these dimensions. And different areas of your life will need different levels of attention at different times. So the next step is to assess the amount of attention you're currently devoting to each area.

Consider each dimension in turn, and on a scale of 0 (low) – to 10 (high), write down the amount of attention you're devoting to that area of your life. Mark each score on the appropriate spoke of your Life Wheel.

4. Join up the Marks

Now join up the marks around the circle. Does your life wheel look and feel balanced?

5. Think About Your Ideal Level

Next it's time to consider your ideal level in each area of your life. A balanced life does not mean getting 5 in each life area: some areas need more attention and focus than others at any time. And inevitably you will need to make choices and compromises, as your time and energy are not in unlimited supply!

So the question is, what would the ideal level of attention be for you in each life area?

Plot the "ideal" scores around your life wheel too, perhaps in a different colour.

6. Take Action

Now you have a visual representation of your current life balance and your ideal life balance. Where are the gaps? These are the areas of your life that need attention.

And remember that gaps can go both ways. There are almost certainly areas that are not getting as much attention as you'd like. However, there may also be areas where you're putting in more effort than you'd ideally like. These areas are sapping energy and enthusiasm that may better be directed elsewhere.

Once you have identified the areas that need attention, it's time to plan the actions needed to work on regaining balance. Starting with the neglected areas, what things do you need to start doing to regain balance? In the areas that currently sap your energy and time, what can you stop doing or reprioritize or delegate to someone else?
