1) Once more, enraged by malpractice, this time the abuse of life coaching, Empower Advisory strives to make a difference and right the wrongs.

2) Coaching, in layman speak is about getting you to become better in areas in your life which you perceive as your weakness.  Good coaching focuses on your strengths and aims to help you achieve what you want more of in life and at work. Good coaching isn’t about giving you agony aunt advice but to change your mindset so you are able to navigate toward a more engaged and compelling future on your own eventually. It is about helping you see possibilities, guiding and witnessing your progress.  Coaching is about realigning your focus with clarity and purpose.  Good coaches will tell you that you are ultimately the expert of your own life and that you are responsible for your learning and results.

3) Bad coaches simply want to drag you along for as long as they can and enrich themselves.  They display all kind of certifications (accredited or not) to impress you how qualified they are yet there is no certification whether they have your interest above all else.

4) At Empower Advisory, true to real coaching, we do not do seminar style coaching akin to a charismatic congregation. We believe in personalized coaching.  Every individual has unique challenges and issues to overcome.  Small groups coaching are done only if there is realizable benefit of individuals, usually friends buddying each other to encourage each other to see through the coaching journey.

5) At Empower Advisory, we don’t drag you along.  We don’t believe in a rah rah 2 day session.  Neither do we believe in an unhealthy lifelong reliance.

6) Just a maximum of 8 sessions, long enough to witness the improvement plans laid out and put into action by you.  Once your engines are chugging and you have internalized the action plans, you are good to go.  In fact, if you are good to go after the first session, one session is all you need.

7) At Empower Advisory, if we assess that coaching is not suitable for you, we have the integrity to inform you as such.  At Empower Advisory, your interest comes first.

Final words … Our thoughts on Life Coaching

1) A life coach is not someone with the world’s highest IQ score or an unshaven guru or the richest person in the galaxy. He is someone who is good at helping you direct your thoughts and energy in a way that helps you uncover what drives you.

2) Your life has no fixed, defined answers. You know more about your own life than anyone else in the world. That is why we probe you to dig deep into yourself during our coaching session to steer your answers from your subconscious mind. If the answers come from you, you are more likely to work on them with less resistance.

3) Our goal is to help you achieve what you want to achieve. To do that, we will seek to understand how you perceive the world.

4) We understand that you have your own set of values and personality traits that may differ from others. No values and traits are right or wrong. We do not judge you unless you are bent on causing hurt and harm to people and property. After assessing your base values and traits, we then help you best achieve what you want in accordance with your values and traits.

5) After that, we will spend the rest of the sessions focusing on the areas where you want to most work on.

6) We will guide you to consistently take action during the coaching relationship because action is the quickest way to improve your situation. You will agree to take some specific actions between one coaching session and the next, and we will hold you accountable.

Some Heartfelt Testimonials Received at Coaching Sessions

Posted on November 20th, 2013 in Testimonials

Thank you Coach

Some of the heartwarming testimonials received …

graduate_icon_8186
As a fresh graduate, still unsure of my career path, I was hesitant to make a career switch.  Coach Douglas helped me to identify my strengths and imaginary fears so I can make a sure decision.  Coach Douglas is knowledgeable, warm and genuine and  I could totally be myself and not be afraid of being judged by anyone.  Thank you!

Gwen Y, 25, 2014

I’ve never been very confident at interviews and often feel that it was killing me off unfairly at the last few rounds.  Coach Douglas guided me and refined my interview skills so I can present myself in the best light with confidence.  I am new to Coaching and initially was skeptical.  But Coach Douglas proved me wrong.  I will not hesitate to recommend Empower Coaching to others.

Chan C.Y, 36, 2014

casual_business_icon_8174
My self destructive behaviour and low self esteem was hurting the people I love yet I find it hard to seek help for sometimes people would dismiss me and my efforts.  Coach Douglas believed in me and did not judge me.  Through a series of action plans and careful goal setting designed by Coach Douglas, I found my footing again and my close ones are encouraged by the positive change they see in me.

Ben L, 21, 2014

business_icon_woman_7684

I had always thought that I was too “old” for coaching since people think that once you reach a certain age, you should know what to do. I think it’s Coach Douglas’ sincere and non-judgmental demeanor and guidance that allowed me to be more open to the possibilities I could create for myself to lead a more meaningful and fulfilling life after being in the rat race for more than 25 years. Thank you.

Low P, 48, 2014

A one-hour Free Complimentary coaching session stretched into more than two hours because Coach Douglas was very detailed in his sharing and coaching.  It didn’t feel that long because his life story is very inspiring. it was a good valuable learning for me.

Tan T, 40, 2014

lab_tech_icon_8187
I found the coaching session with Coach Douglas incredibly insightful and rewarding. Some coaches out there have a reputation of just telling clients what they want to hear. Coach Douglas, on the other hand, balanced optimism and realism to provide me with useful and practical advice to deal with my life going forward, especially on the question of whether conformity was necessary for success. Overall, I was glad that I took the plunge to apply for the coaching session.

C.J Wong, 25, 2015

business_icon_woman_7684

Coaching by Douglas is what I have looking for. Frank opinions, great wealth of knowledge and genuine to help. I got my issues straighten out in one session, wish I had known about Empower coaching before I paid hundreds to go through coaching sessions where the “answers are in your heart”.

Cheers!

Empower Life Coaching – FAQs

Posted on October 22nd, 2013 in FAQs

Life coaching FAQ

Q1) In a nutshell, what is Life Coaching?

Life Coaching is a professional partnership to help you achieve results in your personal and professional life by focusing on awareness, goal setting and action plans to produce sustainable results.

Q2) What is the difference between a Life Coach and a Friend or Family member?

A Life Coach does not bring his own agenda into the conversation. Friends and family can care about you to the extent that they do not want you to make changes to your life that would affect them.  A Life Coach simply believes in your ability to achieve what you want for your life.

Q3) What is the process of Life Coaching like?

Life Coaching begins with an initial meet-up session to assess your current challenges, to define the scope of the coaching partnership and to establish specific desired outcomes.  Subsequent coaching sessions are scheduled 2 to 4 times each month, depending on your preference and the action plan.  Between scheduled coaching sessions, you may be asked to complete specific actions to work towards achieving your goals.

Q4) Why does Empower Coaching insist on a meet-up session instead of a telephone session?

Nothing beats face-to-face interaction.  It makes for a more genuine, trustworthy coaching partnership. At Empower Coaching, we don’t just want to hear what you say but also how you say it and how you react to what you say.  For results, you must be committed to a coaching relationship.  Turning up for a coaching appointment shows your commitment to the coaching partnership.  If you think that meeting up face to face is too time-consuming for you, then perhaps you are not ready yet to turn actions to results.  Come back to us again, when you are ready.  Our doors are always open.

Q5) What if I’m really too busy to attend some of the Coaching appointments?

Minimally, the first session has to be a meet-up session.  We can work out an arrangement to fit in a mixture of face-to-face sessions and telephone sessions.  The last thing we want is you having to simultaneously juggle a telephone coaching session with a budget spreadsheet due the next day.  At Empower Life Coaching, we don’t take the easy way out.

Q6) Where will I go for the meet-up sessions and what time is it usually?

There are a few locations we use.  In general. the meet-up will be in public (for safety considerations), in a carefully chosen pleasant park setting where available, with a focus on privacy, and fresh air. Timing-wise, there is flexibility and we’ll do our best to accommodate your  schedule, subject to our principal coach’s availability.

Q7) How long does Empower Life Coaching work with an individual?

The length of Life Coaching varies depending on your needs and preferences. Typically, for most types of focused coaching, 4 sessions would suffice.  However, some people after experiencing the positive change in their life, want to partner Empower Life Coaching for a longer period. Email and phone support will be provided throughout the duration of the coaching partnership.

Q8) What are the charges like?

The first session is always FREE. Our rates for regular sessions are reasonable and a portion of it goes directly to a charity of your choice. They also vary with the duration of the coaching partnership.  However we do not publish them publicly and will communicate the rates to you.  Each session typically last about an hour.  Any extension beyond that is at the discretion of our Life Coach and will not incur extra charges.

Q9) I’m ready! How do I get started?

Write to us using the online form below.  A FREE Life Coaching will be arranged.  During this face-to-face meet up, you’ll share your situation and what you want to achieve. This will also allow you to assess how comfortable you are with working closely with us.  Once you decide to move forward with us, your personality report sets the foundation for future sessions and kick starts your Life Coaching journey.

 

At Empower Coaching, we believe that each of our Clients are unique, and responsible people who delight in moving their life forward. Together, we can!
