Ideally, a coach helps you get to a place where you don’t need coaching. But we all can use someone to stand by our side, and help us reflect, make choices, take action, and look at feedback from our results.
My approach to coaching is direct and warm. I start by expecting you to be the expert in your situation, and my role is to manage the process. Some people will work for a specific outcome in the short term, and be done. Others will continue for a longer term look at more essential issues of performance.
I have coached leaders from all over Australia. I have worked with CEO’s, solicitors, managers, teachers, soldiers, and professionals of all stripes. See my testimonials, below.
Testimonials
I’ve worked with a few different coaches over my career and Kirk is a stand-out. Kirk can sense the places in between where there are possibilities for growth and freedom that I couldn’t sense as possibilities. He is deeply reflective and lets the silence speak, and for me this is where deep transformation has happened. Kirk offers a deep and kind safety in his coaching approach, backed with clearly rigorous training. I can’t recommend his work highly enough.”
— Ria Jago, Senior Policy Advisor, Women’s Legal Service Victoria
“Kirk encouraged me to find ways to express myself, my thoughts and opinions in an assertive way while remaining calm, professional and diligent. I can assess my weakness and the consequences for my actions, which leads me to recognise the areas I should and can improve in my communication. This is what I am looking for, what I had forgotten for a while. I will now take action and make changes.”
— Jane Tran, Australian Super, Melbourne
“Kirk is a visionary force; an influential and passionate role model that can help others proactively move forward with their professional and personal lives. Kirk’s style is energetic, content- rich, thought provoking and often extremely humorous.”
— Kathy Lang, Central Queensland University
“Kirk is one of the most insightful and valuable people I’ve ever met. He is motivating and his powerful character won him the respect of all our course members. Kirk provided interesting lessons that enabled course members to reflect on current behaviours and focus on different methods to improve. I would jump at the opportunity to study further under Kirk’s instruction and mentoring.”
— Kahli Bourke, Finance management, Perth
“I realize now this is the single most important inquiry I’ve had in terms of making a difference to what I do at work and in my life.”
