What is it about coaching that makes it so successful?
Coaching with a professional coach is focussed, purposeful andimmediately relevant to the individual's needs.
Our coaching is a communication process that focuses on connecting people to performance in the workplace. In coaching we help people to clarify personal and business objectives and to discover more effective approaches for achieving those objectives. Coaching develops people through their self-awareness by which they gain insight into their strengths and limitations. As an integral part of the coaching process an experienced coach is able to ask the right questions and provide the new insights which brings forth changes and responsibility for committed actions.
For individual or teams, coaching is an empowering leadership style that inspires, motivates, teaches and holds one to integrity and accountabiity in all they seek to achieve. In today's world its not about more information or even knowledge. Its about being able to sift through what is important, staying focused, taking committed action, being accountable and taking responsibility for actions.
Coaching is the art of facilitating positive change.

At the centre of coaching is change and transformation through clear focus and momentum for success.
Integrated Coaching is no ordinary conversation but one that listens deeply for what you the individual person wants and then we engage in a series of powerful dialogues. These dialogues explore, motivate, challenge, provoke, co-create and celebratealong the way. Coaching works with people to move them to greater level of self-management, self-awareness, and effectiveness. We work on playing to one's strengths and eliminating the things tht get in the way or that sabotage forward movement. We pay attention to the client's whole mind-body-emotion system, constructions of meanings, frames of mind, beliefs and belief systems.
In today’s changing, challenging and often confusing times in workplaces and personal lives, coaching is a strong preventative program which can meet the needs of an increasingly stressed and disengaged workforce.

Testimonials:
“Sometimes we get absorbed in the general time-clock and pressures of life. Our energy levels become low and we become driven by overload and urgency and not the things and relationships that really count.
Inta has a unique ability and wisdom to question your mind, to help in contemplation and exploration of opportunities to support a journey of moving towards a more sustainable and enriched life, recognising the practicalities and realities that are presented along the path.
Inta has taught me to respect my inner-self and being, she is enlightening, encouraging, an inspiration and a beautiful human being. I would highly recommend Inta to anyone who is searching for Work - Life Balance.” H.B.
"When I first met Inta I had painted myself into a corner with work and commitments. A full time job, part-time business, thesis to write, building a house and getting married. All were important to me but they did not seem to fit into the hours in a day. Inta brought a fresh perspective and had me look at what was really imprtant to my life and values. From this we set about organising, prioritising and retiring some projects (no, not the wedding!). I am well on track to finishing what I have chosen and have learnt some valuable skills in analysing lots of angles to find what really is really important in life. D. Smith, Project Executive Business SA, SAYES
