What the heck is coaching anyway?

10


10 per session - Virtual OK - Posted Feb 20, 2017

Ever wondered what this whole coaching thing is about? Not sure you want to jump in right away? Why not chat about it and get a taste of what it is like, how it can help you, and take the first step by defining a reasonable starter goal? Consider this a primer on coaching from an Associate Integral Coach!

I will help you define a specific, concrete objective that is appropriate for a coaching relationship, then walk you through the basics of how coaching can help you achieve it. Once we define your topic, you can decide to continue to work with me on it, or strike out on your own! No obligation at all!

Topics are up for negotiation, but usually fall within the realm of building positive habits, achieving success at work, or developing a specific skill. I have experience in Change Management and Adult Education, but topics can be from any aspect of your life!

Training & Qualifications


I am an accredited Associate Coach through Integral Coaching Canada. I have a degree in Adult Education (Learning Disabilities and English Literature), and post graduate work in Accounting, Leadership Development, and Strategic Human Resources Management.

Availability & Preferences


Weeknights Monday through Wednesday and weekends during the day.

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

About Owen James

I'm an archery enthusiast, an ex-swimming instructor and lifeguard, an educator, a leader within the federal government, and an associate career/life coach. I've had 11 jobs in the last 10 years (with...in the same organization), and have a gift for redefining my jobs as something that is both rewarding for me and beneficial to the organization. I guess that's just one of the benefits of working in a sector that was the polar opposite of what I had planned during school. I'm also a biweekly blood/platelet donor, and am passionate about getting others out to donate blood regularly. I'm actually one donation away from my 150th! Canadian Blood Services is always in need of donors, and we don't need *all* our blood *all* the time... I normally keep to myself due to a bit of social anxiety, but am branching out after being encouraged to get myself out into the community. I'm hoping Simbi can help me get out, make new friends, and help me learn more about myself by giving me an opportunity to share the random contents of my brain. More insight into me? I used to draw and paint a ton, and have designed quite a few tattoo designs for friends, but my art supplies have been gathering dust for the last few years. I'd love to pick it up again, but I've yet to experience the spark that'll re-light that fire. My next challenge is finding a local maker space nearby to try my hand at woodworking; if anyone out there is willing to take an apprentice for a few hours, let me know!show more
