What is Coaching?
Coaching can be a smart and efficient decision
that gets results sooner.
Coaching is an exciting opportunity for you to achieve your potential.
As a professionally qualified Coach I work with you to create, discover and release your talents to build improved results for you and your business, through a coaching process customised just for you.
How are you feeling?
- Could your performance in life or work improve?
- Do you feel that you have not reached your true potential?
- Do you feel proud of your achievements?
- Do you feel that working with someone could assist you to focus on the real issues that hold you back?
- Would you like to work with someone who is curious about your (hidden) talents?
Coaching helps you review the life-path already travelled, understand you, your current position and map a new and compelling path, to improve results in the future.
Why would you use a Coach?
- To actually have the time (possibly the first time in your life), to think about how you really feel about your life, your focus and your achievements.
- To discuss and clarify the goals you wish to achieve.
- To discover and confirm your strengths.
- To provide options and find different ways to get the results you want.
- To access the assistance and honest advice of another person.
- To recognise when you have succeeded.
- And most importantly, because your strengths are the key, the process focuses on your abilities and potential.
Improve performance by developing an organised plan for your future, that can measure your success.
How does the Coaching process work?
- Scanning and reviewing your individual situation (General summary)
- Scoping your preferred futures, discovering your goals and opportunities (The exciting step)
- Setting goals and strategies that you can achieve step by step (The plan)
- Supported action to assist you to put your plan in place and address challenges that arise (Assistance to achieve)
- Survey and evaluation to ensure the Coaching program provides the results you were looking for. ( Recognise and celebrate your success)

Coaching is about having someone to work one-on-one with you, within your circumstances and with your future desires. The real gains are often found in being able to ask questions and discuss issues that have limited your success or at worst plagued you for sometime.
An extract offered in one of my testimonials is ".So believe in yourself and your potential - talk to Neil Johnston and make that first step to changing your life.

Coaching in Business
How does Coaching work in businesses?
As a trainer and qualified workplace assessor, I have delivered, facilitated and chaired many training sessions and meetings. I am affirm believer in - fix it once properly.
The most successful was always when there was 'buy in' or acceptance by those involved that the 'change' or 'learning' actually benefited them. When this occurs, accountability is built into the program in a positive and productive manner. This dramatically improves long term results and return on investment compared to traditional training delivery sessions.
I do this by
- Understanding the needs of your business
- establishing rapport with the person
- ascertaining their individual strengths and area/s of expertise
- considering their role in the workplace now and the future, and
- confirming the link between the plan and the desired outcomes of your business.
The further value of this process is that the process and outcomes are now directly related to the person's own talents, ambitions and future focus.
The benefits of Workplace Coaching can be seen through
- Identifying and avoiding strategic organisational risks;
- Identifying and breaking organisational log jams;
- Planning, implementation and review processes;
- Managing disengaged employees and managers;
- How to allocate time to the right things; and,
- Identifying workplace issues before they escalate.
The return on investment is clearly demonstrated through monitoring the organised and measurable plan, developed through the Coaching process.
As a Workplace Coach I bring an outside perspective to organisations and the individuals within them. Because I am not part of the staff, I can provide sensible and candid advice without hidden agenda. I can often discuss sensitive issues from a resolution perspective, rather than being concerned with workplace discussion or gossip.
Naturally maintaining confidentiality is of paramount importance to a workplace coach.
Please contact me to discuss your needs and how Workplace Coaching can assist and develop your business. The initial meeting is free of charge, so we can discuss and refine the task required.
If you are not in the Hobart area but would like to discuss workplace coaching, please do not hesitate to give me a call to discuss your needs. Arrangements can be made by telephone and email contact.
I leave you with a quotation that reflects the philosophy of workplace coaching in organisations:
The best way to predict the future is to create it.
- Peter Drucker
It's your choice.
The greatest waste in the world is the difference between what we are and what we could become.
-Ben Herbster

"When I heard that Neil Johnston was launching a Coaching website I was pleased to offer a testimonial on his behalf.
I have known Neil for over 20 years and during this time his skills of being able to work with people of any age has never ceased to amaze me. Neil seems to be able to make everyone he comes into contact with feel special, I have seen him on numerous occasions in both a personal and business capacity, help and encourage different people to achieve their desired outcome, which I am sure they would not have achieved as easily on their own.
I would encourage anyone who needs assistance in a Coaching capacity to contact Neil as I have no doubt they would be better for it."
