I am privileged to have a life and working career in Learning and
Development. Lifelong Learning has always been present in my life as a
teacher, a woman and a mum. The first 15 years of my career were
dedicated to teach people to become better speakers and more
effective learners and teachers, now in my most recent role I help people
to Learn about their potential and maximise their performance.
I am passionate about helping people who want to reach their goals and
realise their dreams in all areas, through 1:1 or group coaching sessions.
I have worked with clients who wanted to improve their personal and
professional development and make changes in their lives. I am
passionate about coaching and during my sessions I have lots of energy
and empathy, we set goals, use tools to find out clients’ strengths, agree
on actions, move towards the goals by taking small steps, learn from
mistakes and create new productive and successful habits, positive
mindsets and empowering beliefs.

3. Do you feel that currently you aren’t reaching your potential and feeling
fulfilled?
Is there a gap of where you are now to where you want to be?
Do you sometimes feel you don’t have the skills, resources or
confidence to get something complete?
Do you feel stuck and put off making decisions or fail to stick to those
decisions you have made?
Are you ready to entertain new and fresh ideas?
Are you willing to be accountable for what you desire?
If you answer yes to any of these questions then coaching can most
definitely support you to be the best that you can be.
How do I know if
Coaching is right
for me?
Coaching is a tool that is used to empower individuals and help them
reach their goals; it is a structured conversation between the Coach and
the Client.
During a coaching session your coach will walk by your side to help you
to reach your ultimate goal and aspirations. They will listen to you, ask
questions, find out what your challenges are and inspire you to reach
that end goal.
You will be encouraged to make decisions and take responsibility for
these decisions.
What is Coaching?

4. What Coaching is
not?
Coaching is not about your coach giving you suggestions or advice.
They are not mentoring or counselling you.
How does Coaching
work?
If you commence a series of coaching sessions and it is deemed that
coaching is not the correct support mechanism for you at this moment
in time this will be discussed with you directly to find a suitable solution
to support your onward journey.
Different coaches use different models to structure their sessions. A
popular model is the GROW model which is an acronym for the areas
explored, Goals, Reality, Options and Way forward.
This model keeps you moving forward towards your goal. Your coach
will be asking you questions, listening to your responses, challenging
you whilst all the time remaining non-judgemental regarding the details
and not offering you any advice.

5. Coaching is predominantly carried out over the telephone/SKYPE or
face to face. The usual procedure is that the client will contact the coach
after arranging a convenient time and date.
You will be guided through a 6 point process.
1. Review the previous session and the actions that you completed
2. Set the goal for that session
3. Consider where you are at the present moment with this goal
4. Consider your options in meeting this goal
5. Agree on some actions
6. Summarise the session before completing the session.
Each session will be 1 hour. The coach will manage the timing of the
session and ensure you gain full value from the session.
Who else will know
what has been said?
A coaching session is completely confidential. I agree and comply to the
Coaching Code of Conduct which you will find attached and only in
extreme circumstances will this confidence be breached. This includes
the intent to cause harm to yourself or others or criminal acts.
What will happen
during a coaching
session?

6. I want to start
coaching now. What
do I do?
You just need to contact me to discuss your requirements in a little more
depth and find out how you would like to be coached.
I will send details through regarding the terms and conditions which will
include the frequency of our sessions, payment for the sessions and
taking of some basic contact information and a little bit of detail around
where you see yourself at the moment.
We would organise an ‘Intake’ session which will start us talking about
you and your aspirations.
After all this is all about YOU!
Drop me an email at makeithappen@sandrapires.coach
What does the
coach need from me
during a session?
To make sure that your time is being well spent with your coach you are
expected to come to the session fully prepared and with a goal or
aspiration in mind that you would like to work towards.
Preparation is very important for the coaching session so you are
encouraged to spend 15 minutes prior to the session taking yourself to
an environment where you will not be disturbed, with a drink and feeling
refreshed to relax prior to the start of the session. You will also need to
ensure that you have a pen and paper to hand and any other items that
you may think will be useful such as a diary.

7. Testimonials
Alejandro
Hollywood Actor
“I’ve experienced how easily I could achieve a goal with support and
specific actions. I never thought that life could be easier if I take a little
step after another with confidence, structure and specific steps that
we’ve discussed and planned in every session.
With little effort I felt I could do everything. In only 6 weeks with Sandra, I
have achieved big changes.”
Nuria
Entrepreneur
“Throughout the sessions with Sandra I gave more steps forward to my
main goal than in the last 2 years, based on the weekly goal-actions
system.
In almost every session one of the points involved used to be “insecurity
and lack of self-confidence”, aspects that Sandra helped me to
approach and to work on during all our time together.”
Tony
Personal
Development Coach
“Sandra has a skill set that has helped me uncover and move forward
uncovering my hidden potential. I feel more confident in making
decisions as I worked with Sandra to simplify my life and find clarity. The
journey over the past 6 weeks had been professional but still personable
which created a supportive space to explore. I uncovered some
powerful insights into my behaviours and made changes that have
impacted me positively.”

8. Dorothy
Chartered
Accountant
“I found that my sessions with Sandra had a positive impact on my goal
of finding a fulfilling career. She helped me understand that achieving a
goal is done by taking small steps, which I have discovered makes the
career-changing process seem more manageable and achievable. I felt
challenged by our discussions and pushed out of my comfort zone and I
have been motivated to take steps I was too afraid to take before.”
Sandra
Client Coordinator
“Very positive experience! Sandra was an excellent coach, She really
cared about my needs, she was very supportive, professional and truly
caring.”
