Oneil Coaching Extra FAQs
What is coaching?
Coaching supports you to move from where you are now, to where you want to be, more quickly and effectively than if you acted alone.
During a coaching session, your coach will facilitate your decision-making process or encourage you to get into action and make change happen by listening, questioning, offering summaries, and with your permission, offer constructive challenge or observations and give helpful feedback.
How do I know if one-on-one coaching is right for me?
- Do you feel that currently you aren’t reaching your potential, and thus, feel unfulfilled?
- Is there a gap between where you are now and where you want to be?
- Do you sometimes feel you don’t have the skills, resources or confidence to get something completed?
- Do you feel stuck and put off making decisions or fail to stick to those decisions you have made?
- Are you ready to entertain new and fresh ideas?
- Are you willing to be accountable for what you desire?
If you answer yes to any of these questions, then coaching can most definitely support you to get your desired outcome.
Is there a difference between team coaching and group coaching?
The simple answer is yes.
Team coaching focuses on people within organizations that work together on a regular basis. The aim of Team coaching is to improve the collective performance, collaboration, and effectiveness of the team.
Group coaching on the other hand involves coaching people from different teams or even the whole organisation on a common subject matter.
When coaching is not the right intervention for you.
If you sign up on a series of coaching sessions and it is deemed that coaching is not the correct support mechanism for you at this moment in time, this will be discussed with you directly to find a suitable solution to support your onward journey.

Only in extreme circumstances will this confidence be breached. This includes the intent to cause harm to yourself or others or criminal acts.
What does the coach need from me during a session?
To make sure that your time is well spent with your coach, you are expected to come to the session fully prepared and with a goal or objective in mind that you would like to work towards.
Preparation is very important for the coaching session, so you are encouraged to be in a conducive environment where you will not be disturbed. You will also need to ensure that you have a pen and paper to hand and any other items that you may think will be useful such as a diary.
