What – Gorette promotes visionary living that is filled with purpose and drive and works with what being authentic across all spheres of their lives. Setting realistic but inspiring goals and working with strengths-based empowerment tools to meet her clients where they are tapping into their learning’s styles. Her coaching is driven, focussed and using positive psychology and NLP actively explores the coachee’s own abilities, potential and resources. Her diverse coaching training includes Agile and Business Agility and this has influenced the selection of tools that she uses and shares. Identifying self limiting mind-sets and shifting these by looking at daily habits that influence thinking and behaviours has been lifechanging with many coachees she has worked with. She uses Gestalt, Neurosciences, Agile Scrum, Adult Development Theory and NLP in her exploratory coaching conversations.

How – Gorette’s approach starts with connecting to your understanding your current role and explores how you got there and whether what you are doing inspires and drives you. Living a purposeful life and understanding your mind-set and the stories you tell yourself that may  positive or negative impact you on a daily basis and by making small changes creates a shift all aspects of your life.  The outcomes are impactful, both professionally and personally. As your committed coach she walks with you on your coaching journey and follows up the coaching session with articles and clips that inspire and could assist you in achieving your goals.
