Chart Your Course To Success
Professional Coaching for motivated individuals who seek clarity, change and growth
I’m your coach, Will
If you’re someone that is motivated to expedite your growth, but don’t quite know how to get started or you keep slipping off track then let’s talk.
As an accredited coach, I work with
Early achievers who want to gain clarity on a career path, define their goals early in life and kickstart their professional and personal development.
Evolving professionals who want to bolster their existing pathway, refine their goals for the next chapter of life, or sometimes even rapidly alter their course to a more fulfilling direction.
My background consists of collaborating with leaders and teams at organisations like Xero, Auckland University, TVNZ, small businesses as well as solo individuals, empowering them to discover new opportunities, lean in to challenges, and win in their desired goals.
I've got a real passion for good food, longevity, getting outdoors and music. I live on a small lifestyle block in Waimauku with my wife Jade, and two sons Layton & Cohen.
My philosophy
I believe that you have the ability to solve your own problems, and achieve your own goals.
Think about the big decisions and moves you’ve already made in life; starting a new job, buying a first home, perhaps emigrating to live in another country. We all have the ability to get what we want, when we want it.
Sometimes though, we get stuck. Like losing momentum on a new business idea, the motivation spark fizzles out, we get bogged down in a project or job that no longer brings us joy.
We all need a little help at some point. A nudge in the right direction. A soundboard for ideas. Someone to help us unpack the knowledge, skills & connections we already possess, or that person to hold us accountable when the going gets tough.
My coaching approach is focused on a forward looking agenda, you can expect me to keep the conversation future focused (whilst maximizing on your experience from the past) and above all, strengthen your own muscles to sustain your own progress once our engagement is complete.
How I can help
-
Achieving your potential
Unsure where you are heading, why, and how to get there?
I will help you discover your north star, chart a course, and navigate your way towards it. All the while holding you accountable for making progress and being your strongest advocate during times of self-doubt
-
Getting unstuck
Run in to some fog, don’t know what to do, or need to work through a gnarly problem?
I will help you bring clarity to a personal, professional or darn right difficult challenge, break it down in to bite sized pieces, and we can work together to get you through it.
-
Building better habits
Going through a change, or need to build some sustainability in to your life?
I will help you build in new routine and stop something that could be limiting your potential
Coaching - What to Expect
Here you’ll find a break down of some core elements that we’ll cover off as part of the process - the time spent in these areas can vary depending on your personal situation and the engagement length agreed between us.
-
The past helps inform the future.
We’ll spend some time getting to know one another. Expect to unpack past experiences that got you to where you are now and bring back front of mind your core values, strengths and influential connections made along the way.
I’m interested in building my understanding of you, your world, your context.
-
Where you’re going, and how to get there.
Immerse me in your ideas, your goals, your needs. I’ll help you to critique, clarify and crystalise them so that they become an unstoppable vision.
This is where we’ll build out something that excites and motivates you on what’s in store for the future. We will use various visual techniques and frameworks to bring things to life.
-
Ready, set, go!
It’s time to put in the work. By prioritising what’s most important to you, I will help you plan out the detail and take concrete action so that you can turn your dreams in to reality.
Typically in a session we’ll review progress, discuss learnings that can help inform next steps, and make sure you leave knowing what you need to do next along with the support mechanisms in place. Anything created, and actions committed to, will be summarised and sent through.
We’ll keep in touch via regular check-ins - usually email, WhatsApp or any other communication method you prefer.
Throughout each step we’ll be looking for ways to build in methods that can assist you to self-serve long in to the future even after we finish our engagement.
-
Close one chapter, to start the next.
At the end of a programme, we’ll do a final review & feedback session to help both of us learn from our engagement together.
We’ll take in to account wins and key learnings and understand a suitable pathway from here which could look like continuing on an adhoc basis or setting up 3-6 month check-ins.
