TIM DUDDRIDGE COACHING
What We Will Do Together...
You already have more answers inside you than you think, but long-held beliefs and blind spots quietly shape what you think is possible, without you ever questioning them. Left unchallenged, they can keep you circling the same conclusions, however smart or experienced you are.
You'll be asked questions you may never have considered before - questions that stretch your thinking and challenge the assumptions you've been carrying so long you've stopped noticing them. It won't always be comfortable (growth rarely is). When it feels uncomfortable, that's usually a sign you're on the edge of real change, not a sign something's wrong.
You're the expert in your own life - so you won't be told what to do or handed advice. You'll be properly heard, and helped to find your own clarity and insight from what you already know. And you won't be doing it alone: you'll have a full partner alongside you - the other half of "your team of two" - helping you explore the way forward that's actually right for you.
All this happens in a way that's non-judgemental, safe and confidential - and you'll have someone who believes in you throughout.
Some areas that previous clients have worked on:
-
Vision - finding, clarifying, and aligning with what you want to achieve
-
Strategy - eliciting the solutions and strategies right for you to realise your Vision
-
Mindset - uncovering and finding ways to unblock current unhelpful thinking, finding thinking that will propel you forward, and encouraging self-discovery and self-awareness
-
Skillset - identifying skills, and exploring how to build on them
-
Accountability - being held responsible and accountable for actions
What's on Offer
Executive and Leadership Coaching
It can be lonely at the top. Who do you talk to? Your business partners or employees may be part of the problem you're trying to work through - and chances are your spouse or partner is tired of hearing about your work problems.
You need somewhere outside all of that - someone with no stake in your business or investment in a particular outcome, so you can work openly without managing anyone's reaction.
Your concerns will be properly listened to. You'll have a genuine sounding board, and support to think clearly about your next move - whether that's in your work or your personal life. What you'll get is the kind of objectivity that's very hard to find anywhere else, from anyone who actually knows you.
If that's what you're looking for, you're probably already:
-
curious to explore how much more you're capable of
-
eager for real self-insight
-
open to feedback that isn't softened for you
-
willing to experiment with new ways of working
-
ready to think bigger
-
prepared to put real time and energy into your own development
Life Coaching
You want to decide what actually matters, make a real plan, get your motivation back, and take action toward your goals - not just think about it.
Maybe you recognise some of these:
-
you want to progress from where you are, but for some reason, you’re still in the same place you were months, even years ago;
-
you know exactly what you want - but something's holding you back;
-
you're not sure what you want, but you're 100% certain it isn't where you are right now, and you don't know where to start
Maybe you’ve tried plenty - books, expensive seminars, online courses - and while they gave you an early spark, that spark didn't turn into movement.
Whatever's true for you, this is where that changes.
Together, we'll examine the unhelpful thought patterns that are holding you back.
We'll identify which ones are most important to address right now and work on undoing them so they no longer limit you.
We'll repeat this process as often as necessary.
You'll gain real clarity, and we'll collaborate to create a plan that truly inspires you moving forward.
Some Common Questions
Why Should I Use a Coach?
No matter if you are climbing the corporate ladder or forging your own unique path, everyone can benefit from a little support. To truly live your best personal and professional life, it’s essential to engage in intentional self-reflection and ongoing personal development. We all have blind spots that prevent us from seeing our situations clearly, as well as thoughts, habits, and behaviours that can hinder our growth. A coach can help you identify these blind spots and work towards overcoming the obstacles along the way.
Loved ones, friends, and colleagues may have the best intentions, but they rarely provide unbiased advice or analyse situations effectively. A professional can offer the invaluable service of reflecting back to you what you say and see, helping you see your blind spots, encouraging self-discovery, and supporting you in taking action.
Change is difficult on our own - it challenges the stories that we have created for ourselves. A coach can help you see these for what they are, and when appropriate, help you find new ways of looking at them.
Successful people don’t leave their progress up to chance - they grab it by the horns. Those seeking personal and professional development can take charge and be more fully in the driver's seat with support from a coach.
How Long Does Coaching Take?
Coaching involves a series of sessions, typically about an hour each, spread over several weeks or months. The number of sessions you want will be agreed at the outset along with any other “ground rules” for the coaching partnership.
