Coaching
“The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me” -Ayn Rand
Coaching Philosophy
I subscribe to the view that life isn’t a question of asking ‘who will let you?’ but of asking ‘who will stop you?’. Often, it’s only ourselves who stand in our own way, and this distinction allows me to help my clients to quit getting in their own way and pave their way to incredible success. Helping people to over come challenges and win the battles of life and climb the mountain of success is what I do best.
By utilising your inner resources you can decide what you really want from life and I can hand you the keys to unlocking your true potential and creating the results you desire. I work in a manner which allows my clients to be in control of their own journey.
| “Working with Donald on a personal and corporate level has being a major driver of my company’s success in the past year. As a personal coach, Donald has supported my development and awareness of goals and ultimately my ability to reach the heights and vision of where I wanted my company to be. On the strength of this personal coaching, I have since employed Donald’s expertise as a performance facilitator and training provider to key members of my management staff. In a people orientated business it is the quality and effectiveness of my staff that create the platform for our success. I am in no doubt that Donald’s work has given my organisation (Global Highland) the inspiration to go beyond the norm.” Iain MacGregor | Director (Global Energy Group) Inverness |
Experience
My real world experience based approach to coaching (as opposed to academic coaching theories) enables my clients to make breakthroughs which they can feel they have discovered themselves. This, in turn, leads to a feeling of increased personal power. In this way, I enable clients to take charge and focus their own development which allows my teaching to continue long after the coaching period is over.
My understanding of how the mind works, and amazing personal journey (Click here to listen…) give me the rare ability to look at challenges and difficulties from the inside-out and find real solutions for barriers that can seem insurmountable. Working across all sectors, I coach Olympic athletes, CEO’s, entrepreneurs and potential superheroes; this personal capacity means that I hold experiences which keep my skill base constantly expanding, never taking my eye off the ball in delivering results for clients.
International Dimension
I have developed my own business in the Highlands to the stage where it has become an internationally successful business and sports consultancy. Working all over the world, I find I travel well and many of my clients have commented on how practical I am, and how much this helps them. I take attitude this to all my coaching sessions, becoming a friend and mentor above and beyond what might ordinarily be expected of a coach.
Transformation
Transformation happens, Personal breakthroughs happen, as you learn skills to allow you to really uncover who you want to be, how you want to live and run your life. No goal is too difficult or out-of-reach when you work with me as we will work together to stretch yourself and reach for the dreams that are at the core of your being and make them a reality.
“The life of everyman is a diary in which he men’s to write one story, and writes another; and his humblest hour is when he compares the volume as it is with what he had vowed to make it.” J.M Barrie
If you are tired of wondering what might have been or know that you can achieve more, NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT and start writing the story you want to write today!
Each year I work intensively with a small number of personal coaching clients, these intensive coaching programmes are not for everyone but are ideally suited to the already successful, ambitious and dedicated superheroes wishing to find their next level of success.
