1:1 Coaching
An individual, team, or organisation cannot outgrow the energy, self-awareness, or stamina of the person leading it. True transformation requires addressing both the strategic mindset and the underlying physical operating state that powers it.
Expanding my career-filled executive coaching and mentoring by overlaying it with formal Positive Psychology Coaching was the natural next chapter. Through Luke Barton Coaching, I work with people who wish to include greater energy, movement, and cognitive clarity, up high on their list of non-negotiables. My approach sits at the intersection of Positive Psychology, Solution-Focused Strategy, and Transformational Shift.
The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines coaching as: “Partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximise their personal and professional potential.”
My interpretation of this is to work in a trusted partnership with the client, on equal terms, as experts. The client an expert in themselves, their life, and their dreams; me as an expert in cultivating a safe, non-judgemental space, asking thought-provoking future-focused questions to facilitate the client exploring their minds at a deep level, respectfully challenging where appropriate, using powerful intuition built up over decades of experience, bringing awareness to underlying beliefs and ultimate goals, and help the client develop sustainable habits that reshape how they thinking and act, bringing them closer to their desired personal and professional future.
How We Work Together
Everyone is different, every client operates from their own unique map of the world. By understanding this, and the gaps it contains, I create a coaching engagement tailored to you. The framework is adaptable based on your unique requirenents, however, more often than not include:
The 20-Minute Chemistry Call: Coaching requires total alignment. We start with a complimentary, no-obligation alignment conversation. Exploring where you are today, what you want to achieve, and whether we are the right fit for a powerful coaching partnership. This also provides you with a taste of my coaching style.
Initial Engagement Session: The initial session is 60-minutes in order to understand your map of the world to a deeper level. We will get clear on your goals, what success looks like for you, and what you want to achieve from the sessions.
Ongoing Powerful Coaching Sessions: These are powerful forward-focused 45-minutes, scheduled every two weeks (Zoom or in-person). There is flexibility to meet more or less frequently throughout the engagement.
Minimum Commitment: Engagements are typically structured across a 3-month minimum partnership.
Action & Accountability: You are your own best expert, therefore you’ll be doing the heavy lifting. Coaching is also about action, between sessions you may be asked to complete targeted assignments designed to translate insights into measurable real-world change.
