The International Coaching Federation (ICF) is the leading global organization for coaching. The ICF defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximise their personal and professional potential.  

At Alba, we believe that the ‘Coachee’ is the expert of their own lives and the coach’s role is to provide a safe, supportive, non-judgemental space which allows the process of coaching to unlock imagination, productivity and growth.  

Starting with a free ‘chemistry’ meeting, we will get to know each other, we will explore the Dawn Coaching model, identify how it can be tailored to your unique circumstances. 

The Dawn Coaching model is applied from the very first coaching session typically looking at a coaching wheel to gain a deeper understanding of your current circumstances, before working through the rest of the Dawn coaching model. 

Each session typically lasts for approximately 60 minutes. During the session, you will be given the opportunity to talk about any specific aspects of your life you would like to develop. The coach is there to support and challenge you, to ensure you have considered different possible scenarios, often encouraging reflection. The coach isn’t there to make decisions or tell you what you should do, just to create a confidential safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings.

In short, yes! However, to see the full benefits of coaching you must have a willingness or desire to want to make improvements in the specific aspects of your life. The coaching relationship creates a supportive yet challenging, non-judgemental environment to maximise the coachees potential. 

The best results are achieved when the coachee is committed and has a desire to find change.

We would be happy to discuss payment plans for any of our coaching programs. Coaching is an investment, but there is no reason for it not to be able to fit into your budget planning. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for more details. 

Coaching is an investment of time and money that we choose to make for support our development and growth. At Alba Coaching we firmly believe in making coaching accessible to everyone, which is why we offer a limited amount of spaces for “community sessions”. 

Alongside the work we do with Community Interest Company “Inclusive Futures”, we always have available a specific number of spaces to cater to the financial needs of our clients. Please don’t hesitate to bring this up in our chemistry call or at any time if your circumstances change. We always discuss this on a case-by-case basis with the individual. 

We are happy to accept payment in GBP or Euro. Please let us know which currency would suit you better so that we can set up the invoices accordingly. 

As standard our invoices are set for payments to be made by bank transfer. 

We can however accept card payments, although there are fees attached to these. We split these card payment fees with the client, but please let us know if you would like to pay by card. 

We have experience working with Senior Leaders as well as aspiring Senior Leaders. The coaching will support you with the challenges of fulfilling additional responsibilities while remaining authentic and true to yourself. 

Leaders have found that having a supportive, non-judgemental space away from the school community can be very beneficial. At the same time, having the freedom to explore your thoughts while also being challenged in a way to ensure that you have given thought to different perspectives.  Ensuring that you’re able to keep a healthy balance within your personal and professional lives is always a top consideration within our coaching approach. 

Teaching is a very rewarding career, but it can also be very intense and demanding, often with a roller coaster of emotions. Coaching can support you to keep a balance in your personal and professional life, ensuring you feel supported in the tough times, while also being challenged to develop, learn and grow as an educator.
