About Naturally Good Coaching

Significance of Strengths

Gallup data shows that people who have the opportunity to use their CliftonStrengths™ are:

  • Six times as likely to be engaged in their jobs;

  • Six times as likely to strongly agree that they have the opportunity to do what they do best every day;

  • Three times as likely to report having an excellent quality of life.

Investing in your Strengths is worth it.

Awareness

Increasing awareness of your own thougts and feelings is fundamental to a sense of growth and fulfilment. Becoming more aware of your Strengths will encourage your confidence and the practical application of your natural skills.

In addition, I have a unique framework for understanding the mechanics of thought. Insight into these mechanisms will help you move on from limiting beliefs, and transform circumstances or patterns which hold you back into new ways of looking at life, fuelled with a sense of increased agency and inspiration.

Vision & Values

The question “Why?” has been paramount in my life from as early as I can remember. What is meaningful is different for us all, but vital. My past work in Acting & Directing led me to practical insights into our often unseen ways of being, and how these can become tools to effect change in alignment with personal values. Striving towards a meaningful goal is a source of tremendous energy.

Organisations which have a clear and genuine vision - shared and supported at every level - flourish. In private life, a sense of meaning, purpose or vision is invaluable. It is also unique.

Therefore, I strive to embolden and sharpen your vision through my work.

Testimonials:

“Working with Jim at Naturally Good Coaching has been a truly life-changing experience for me. When I first began, I was lost and overwhelmed by everything, unsure of how to address the issues that were holding me back. Jim not only helped me to understand the root of these challenges, but he also provided me with practical tools and techniques to manage and eventually overcome them. His empathetic approach and insightful guidance have transformed me into a much more confident person – a version of myself I truly didn't believe was possible. With Jim’s support, I have taken incredible steps forward. I now have the confidence to pursue my dreams, including something as significant as buying a house in France, on my own! This achievement is a testament to the skills and resilience I developed with Jim’s help. I am forever grateful to Jim for helping me to become this version of me and for empowering me to embrace new and although scary, exciting possibilities. I cannot recommend Naturally Good Coaching enough for anyone ready to make real, positive changes in their life.” Karen

“Following a turbulent time at work, I sought to get clarity on recent events and their root cause as well as how I could influence positive change. Jim offered insights on the challenges we face as a growing business, what the solutions might be and which steps to action in order to improve overall staff engagement, stability and continued growth for the company.” BGC

“Jim's often helped me see things from a different perspective, which in turn allows me to move forward in new ways. He listens closely, asks questions which open doors, and always works with a clear sense of integrity.” Steve R

“In the last 12 months I lost 3 family members, my health and my confidence but after my sessions with Jim I got my confidence back which also led to my health and fitness picking up,now I look forward to the future again.” Kenneth Bridges

“Jim helped me navigate a really difficult time in my life, so many awful events have occurred over the last five years with excessive upheaval in the last 9 months.
He helped me remember and recognise my qualities rather than focusing on my negatives. So many people like to drag others down, Jim helped me reevaluate myself, my life and my future.
He also has a wicked sense of humour and I hope to stay in touch for years to come.
I strongly recommend Jim as a hugely positive influence, I don't think I'd have got through this last 4 months without his help.” Rachel Johnson

“I’ve written my review, but I’m trying to not make it sound like you’ve paid me a million pounds to write it!” Kufa, Founder & CEO

 

“One of the things I enjoyed most in Jim's coaching was his ability to draw diverse strands of information or topics together, offering me a richer perspective within which to move forward. I particularly appreciated his written reflections afterwards, which inspired me to take action from a positive place. In my eyes what sets Jim apart as a coach is:

  • courage - he is willing to be vulnerable and take risks socially, modelling that for his clients as they learn and grow

  • curiosity - he is so genuinely interested in what it means to live a human experience and with connecting with others as we experience togethercare - this might not be what he leads with, but he has a BIG heart for people he invests time and interest in and would always go the extra mile

  • creativity - this comes from his courage I think and also the fact that he sees the world a little differently. He doesn’t always seem to follow a conventional route therefore and this creativity is fantastic for the coaching process." - Katie Harvey, Executive Coach & Mentor
