How I like to coach

1. First, we will set up a 10-minute call, to see IF and HOW I can help you. 2. If I feel I CANNOT help you, I'll let you know politely and do my very best to point you in the right direction towards other resources and information. 3. If I feel I CAN HELP YOU, we get on another free call of about 45-60 minutes, where we will dive deeper into your business. 4. During this call, we will come up with a clear game plan, so that you reach your desired outcome. 5. At the end of the call, one of two things will happen: - You decide you want to work with me; if that's the case, we'll talk further. - You decide to take the game plan and implement it on your own. Either way, you get something valuable from our call together. 6. Should you decide that you do want to work with me, we will then set a coaching schedule that suits you.

Professional and life experience

In my last year of school, I was involved in a horrific car accident and sustained serious head injuries. I was in a coma for two weeks and by God's grace survived and woke up. After that, I had to relearn to walk, speak and write. Having to find ways to motivate myself and stay optimistic about the future despite doubtful hopes by specialist doctors, I was able to motivate myself and finish school the following year and two degrees in the years that followed.

After my first degree, I worked in the corporate world as an auditor and soon realized that this was not my calling. Although I enjoyed working with numbers, I felt empty and wanted to contribute in a more meaningful way. Not wanting to waste my efforts in the business world, I decided to study Industrial Psychology in order to learn more about human behavior so that I could motivate people. I soon discovered life coaching and complemented my studies with life coaching in order to best assist people to achieve the best possible outcomes for their businesses and personal lives.

Second week with P_VdM

Second chat via WhatsApp with Philip started and I was in such a bad space. I said that I was about to give up.... He asked me to take accountability on my own actions and he will touch Base with me to make sure I am making myself accountable for my life.... since then I've had positive after positive results. So I thought I'd give a small amount of how I'm going to grow from strength to strength. I will give a final report once I've achieved my goals. Thanks for reading this. Al. Nelspruit South Africa.

Professional Coaching Experience

Philip was very professional and sent me previously material so that I would prepare. He used very good techniques to make me think and reach conclusions from within. I felt very comfortable while talking to him, he is really smart and emotionally intelligent, so I didnâ€™t need to explain myself as he always understood what I meant. By asking the right questions he made me consider and evaluate things that I never considered before, orienting me with career decisions and reaching tasks to do next. Thank you Philip!! - Karin Tenenboim

Unconditional Support

Philip provided a safe and completely non-judgemental space in which to share my concerns and develop my plans â€“ I felt as though I could tell him anything and would be treated with respect and unconditional support. Working with him, I learnt about my core values, what is most important for me in my life. Knowing this has given me a greater awareness of why I do what I do and what drives my behaviour. It has also helped me understand what needs are not being met when I am not content with my situation or circumstances. Philip was brilliant at guiding me through the goal setting process. Together we broke down my goals, really outlining what needs to happen in order for me to make my goals a reality. In addition to creating SMART goals, we explored the qualities I need, the people who can support me and other resources that would help me reach my desired outcome. - Erika Scarth

Fantastic coaching experience!

Even after a few sessions of being coached by Philip, I found the experience to be so helpful and life-changing. Working with Philip, I was able to discover some limiting beliefs about myself and how to create a workable plan that would allow me to overcome them. With his coaching, Philip helped me to be motivated to start exercising and eating healthier, which was my goal. He asked me questions and then through various tools and exercises, guided me to identify ways to answer them. This kind of assistance was great, as it helped me discover that I already knew the answers, and he was just patiently helping me to uncover them. I really enjoyed being coached by Philip and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a supportive and knowledgeable life coach.

An excellent life coach

Philip's coaching has been invaluable to me. Before coaching I felt a little bit stuck in my life he has helped me to organise my life better, since our coaching sessions I have moved very quickly forward in my career, health, happiness and relationships. I feel like I am no longer afraid to take what I want from life and I also feel like I will just keep moving up and I have a lot I want to do with my life and thanks to Philip I feel like I can achieve all of this and it doesn't feel so overwhelming like it did at first. Philip works through all the issues one by one and he helps you begin to realise what you need to do to fix the issues that may arise in your life. He is very patient and takes his time with his clients. Philip has a lot of different tools and strategies to help people. He is always happy and insightful. I would recommend Philip to anyone looking for an excellent life coach. - N. Carr. Sent from my iPhone
