Coaching in Shelagh's own words:

"Coaching is about exploring the inner challenges a person faces and using coaching models as a framework to help the individual. It needs to be positive, insightful and forward looking in order to influence, stimulate and bring out innovate ideas from the individual. It also needs to be practical, solutions focussed (if required) and goal oriented."
