WHAT IS COACHING?
Coaching is about discovery, awareness and choice. A coach assists in empowering individuals to find their own answers -Â encouraging, supporting and motivating. Coaching is not trying to change you or your values, rather it's working with you to identify and eliminate roadblocks to find optimal solutions that meet your individual needs.
WHY DO YOU NEED A COACH?
From time to time all of us need some form of support. Sometimes it's having someone to bounce ideas off, to challenge you, to role play with, or to have someone to hold you to account.

Why not invest in yourself?

WHY THE NAME SAMURAI LEADERSHIP COACHING?
The Japanese Samurai were renowned for their ability to take action but of equal importance was that their character was held up to a high moral standard. Traits such as respect, self-discipline, benevolence, courage, loyalty and honour were required.
We believe all these characteristics are also essential in leadership.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A COACH AND A MENTOR?
Simply put a Coach helps facilitate change by expanding thinking through collaboration whereas a Mentor is more inclined to provide answers. Samurai Leadership can offer either option depending on your circumstances
