As a qualified Beyond Success life coach a number of tools and resources are at hand to share and pass onto prospective clients as part of Jill’s Life Coaching program.

Coaching occurs on a one on one bases or group sessions within a workshop environment. Regular sessions are done face to face, depending on the location of the client and Jill or via phone or skype thanks to the efficiency of the internet. This opens the door to clients living out of Australia or interstate as either method is very effective.

Paul and Mary Blackburn are the founders of Beyond Success and have put together this coaching program drawn from their knowledge and experience of the past 25 years in the industry.

The Blackburn’s have devised a personality profile for clients to partake of when commencing coaching with Jill. This exercise is very simple and takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. The results are then emailed back to Jill for processing. The profile is broken up into 4 quadrants – North, South, East and West profiles. A client can come in as a combination of profiles or indeed just one.

As a client you would receive your relevant essay/s arising from your profile results. These give a very detailed account of ones personal strengths and weaknesses. What’s going on for them emotionally, mentally, physically and within relationships!

It also indicates how a client is perceived by other people as well as how they cope under pressure and in deed how they perceive themselves.

The benefits from knowing this are enormous. We need to focus on our strengths and not our weaknesses and as such this information gives us a better understand of why our partner, children or work colleague for example, behaves the way they do, as they will probably come in as a totally different profile.

This information is also very useful when employing staff or forming a team to know where each persons strengths and weakness lye. The results here are very specific and a very good tool to have.

Life Coaching will support you in a number of areas. It can identify you strengths and as such build upon them as an asset financially and emotionally. It could bring to light what has been holding a client back from reaching their true potential on an emotional and physical level.

How would you rate your own self worth, self esteem or assertiveness as a leader in business or within a personal relationship? Another role could be in supporting a client in setting goals then working on specific strategies allowing a dream to become a reality. Yes accountability is a must with good time management skills here. As noted in the ‘Home’ page of this site, a lot of habits are formed and developed within the first few years of life. For years, one could try to perfect working around situations instead of moving through them with a totally different outcome.

Why Does Coaching Work?

Often we are too close to our partner, family or indeed our self to view situations objectively and to come forth with a different viewpoint. A coach provides objective support, feedback and encouragement whilst enabling them to maximize one’s own
potential! A coach will assist you to define your
direction, stay on track and create quantum leaps in
your business, leadership skills and life.

What are the Benefits?

• More energy, enthusiasm and satisfaction;
• A greater understanding of yourself and others;
• A solid sense of self-confidence;
• A clearer vision of what you want from life;
• Strategies and a path to overcome obstacles;
• Enhanced communication and leadership skills;
• Clarity, balance and a very different awareness of living life without all of the clutter and baggage we often accumulate from a young age on.

What Will I Learn?

Coaching is all about you. If you can put a tick in every box confirming that your are A-OK in the areas of finances, health, fitness, fun, career, relationships with partner and children and emotionally, then you would be an extremely balanced, happy and complete person. A client/coach works within each of these areas bring a well rounds outcome a reality.

Together with weekly coaching sessions and the diagnostics as set out above, module works is also available to work through.

Partaking of Module work is a very important part of coaching. Each module is broken up into individual unit heading as say a client is working through the different aspects of relationships or self esteem.

A client works through each module/unit at their own pace! All of this work is completed in ‘word’ and input between Jill and her client is done via email.

The value gained from working through theses modules is enormous to clients, as new thought patterns emerge where blocks used to occur.

Listed below are the modules available and the topics within each sector. Jill directs each clients towards the best module to start working through.
