AFFORDABLE ONE-TO-ONE COACHING

What is coaching?

Ignite's model of coaching puts you at the centre of the relationship and you drive your own learning. Your coach is professionally trained, and in addition to coaching training, we have done a lot of research into what helps women make great decisions about their futures and how they can develop meaningful, successful, and balanced careers.

Through the coaching you can:

• Take time out to focus on you
• Recharge your batteries and take a step back and think about your next move.
• Develop a framework for assessing current and future decisions.
• Develop goals and action plans.
• Be confident in your ability to achieve your goals.
• Find sources of inspiration to keep you motivated going forward.
• Develop your CV and/or applications for courses or jobs.

Who is it for?

Because one to one coaching is tailored to your needs, it is suitable for any woman of any age. Ignite specialises in coaching for career development and transitions for women pre-career and in the earlier stages of their careers.

How does it work?

The programme can start anytime to suit you and your coach. Before your first session you will do some assessment work and fill in a joining pack to help your coach get to know you and what you want to achieve through coaching. You will send that to your coach the week before your first session.

In order to keep our coaching rates affordable, coaching sessions are done by telephone. Telephone coaching offers greater flexibility and means you can access great coaching no matter where you are are. The first session is one hour and each session thereafter is 45 mins and you can agree frequency and timings of your sessions with your coach.

What is the cost and what does it include?

Our Autumn Offer - September to December 2010

When you sign up there is a £20 administration fee payable to Ignite; we are a social enterprise and this fee supports the development of our work. The fee for the first session of one hour is £25 and the subsequent three sessions of forty-five minutes eaxh are £20 per session. The amount payable for any further sessions then rises to £35 a session. This offers great value, as the cost of coaching can start anywhere from £70 to £100 for a forty-five minute session.

In exceptional circumstances, we are able to negotiate the rise in rates for those who are unable to afford them as we believe everyone should be able to access this service.

For those who can afford to pay more, but choose to access an Ignite coach at our affordable rates, we ask that you make a donation to support our work serving girls and young women.

Can I try it out before I decide?

Yes, it's really important that the 'chemistry' is right between you and your coach. We offer free, no-obligation telephone sample sessions. Visit our team page to read Kathleen and Rona's profiles and you can choose who you would like to work with then email kathleen@ignite-leadership.org to set up the session.

What You Say About Ignite

Working with Kathleen has impacted my life in a multitude of positive ways. Kathleen helped me tap into confidence and potential I never knew I possessed. This confidence and potential first enabled me to realize my deepest passion, and then propelled me into my dream masters program. I am on a path I am finally certain is my passion. Brooke Bagan 1:1 telephone coaching

Rona's greatest skill is being able to make things seem so simple.  Working with Rona has been incredibly powerful for me and I feel I changed my perspective and mindset as a result of working with Rona. She creates a very safe, loving and trusting environment which enables you to be your true self. Rona is a wonderful listener and a very natural coach. I value so much the way she challenged me to take risks and push me out of my comfort zone. Laura Archer

The positive feedback and encouragement that Kathleen gave me was wonderful; she helped me recognised that I was special and unique and was capable of a lot more that I previously thought. Alice Hainsworth 1:1 telephone coaching

Rona is a professional and calm coach and a very good listener too. These qualities make you feel safe to really open up and you are really heard and valued.  She is always listening out for those moments to challenge assumptions or ask questions about those 'gremlins' in the best interests of helping you to be who you can be.  She never forgets to remind you of your strengths too.  Working with Rona as a coach has really helped me to make some major decisions that otherwise, I may have just left to fester.'
