If you haven’t experienced coaching before, then you may be wondering what to talk about during sessions and how these coaching conversations can help you.

You can bring any topic to coaching. The coach doesn’t need to be a subject matter expert or have had any experience to be able to help you. However, you may choose to work with a coach who has, for example, had similar life experiences or has a similar profile or neurodivergent condition.

Some of the topics I can support with:

Work:

• Thriving in the workplace with a neurodivergent condition
• Developing working relationships as a natural introvert
• Feeling comfortable in social situations at work
• Improving confidence when speaking to a group
• Improving time management
• Creating the optimum sensory environment at work
• Preparing for a difficult conversation with your line manager or direct report
• Building a high performing team

Friends and Family:

• Dedicating the ‘right’ amount of time to your family
• Contributing to conversations when in a group get-together
• Preparing for family events
• Maintaining friendships

Personal and Home Life:

• Starting and maintaining healthy habits and good routines in your life
• Feeling comfortable in social situations
• Managing anxiety
• Getting started on a task or project that you have been putting off
• Creating a work/life balance that suits you now

These are just some of topics we can discuss in a session, many of which I have encountered at some point in my life. When you’re facing difficult decisions or have a significant event to prepare for, the mind and body can enter ‘fight or flight’ mode’. Your body is directing energy to either confront or flee from the perceived threat – both of which are natural human responses, but unfortunately can make it even more difficult to think clearly. This is when a Coach can provide the support you need. My intention is to be that Coach I wish I had when I was facing these challenges in my life.
