COACHING programs

At Scéal Nua Coaching, the primary goal is to help you enrich your life and work by having a trusted advisor to guide you to have positive impact on everything you do.

All coaching programs come with a Lumina Portrait as standard. This paints an easy to understand picture of your communication preferences and behaviours across a range of “stress” states, from how you are when relaxed through to everyday life and even uncovers how you change when in a crisis mode (termed here as “Over Extended”). 

After an initial call to talk through why you feel you need advice and guidance to change, we will agree on a tailored coaching program which may last one session to a few months. I mostly use the GROW model (Goals, Reality, Opportunities, Wins) and can pull on a variety of sources of useful exercises from CBT, NLP and self-kindness exercises to help you enact the change you want.

Individuals

You have been affected by events of recent years – change has been enforced on all of us and change, even for those who enjoy it, can still be a challenge. Grief, love and hope is involved at many levels be they hidden or fully conscious. 

Whatever has happened to you, you are looking for a way to enrich your life and work, to find a way to live and work in a healthier environment.

Business Owners, Leaders & Start-ups

Working at the level you are comes with an additional set of challenges. You are responsible for the seeing the organisation progress in line with plans, to grow as intended, to be resilient despite the uncertainty of world events. You are also responsible for wellbeing of your team and possibly their staff also. Along with this you, like all of us, want a rewarding life.

Finding a healthy balance here is key.

Team Coaching

How have you and your staff changed in during and post-pandemic? Are they aware of how they may have changed themselves? Mapping your team’s individual Lumina Spark Portraits into a team portrait is where Lumina portraits really shine a light on the layout of the team allowing you to see a whole new perspective on how they communicate and work together.

Hiring a coach to work with the entire team can take some of the pressure off your leadership work and can help foster a more satisfied, collaborative, empathetic team aligned with organisational missions.

Men’s Peer Support Groups

Lastly, I am looking to start a Men’s Group for mental health support. Despite all the awareness being raised on social media over the past few years, men are at the highest risk of deeply negative mental health. I am open that I suffer from a variety of mental health challenges myself – depression, anxiety, and I self-identify as having ADHD.

This is not counselling or therapy, it is simply a physical and mental safe, confidential space to share with other guys to talk through any challenges you are currently facing.

Even if you know you have people who say they are there for you, sometimes it can be immensely hard to open up to them for a variety of reasons. Sometimes building new friendships specifically with other men can help. It could be a meet for a walk and talk in a local green space; it could be at my home address in Tourmakeady with views over Lough Mask and surrounding hills where it is normally so tranquil with plenty of natural light. The outcome is the same – somewhere to get away for an hour or two to talk and be listened to. That might well be enough to make all the difference
