Communication & Listening Style Preferences - we may be speaking English BUT are we really speaking the same language. Learn about the different communication styles and what your predominate style is. Also learn the different listening styles and how you can learn to listen more efficiently and respond more effectively. Communication with clarity is key in reducing the risk of error in the exchange of information, which may cost time, money and even relationships!

Managing Conflict - our experience and role models in life have shaped who we are. They have shaped our thoughts, beliefs and behaviours. As much as we are very much the same we also possess our own uniqueness and sometimes feel frustrated if others are not in agreement with our way of thinking or doing. Learn how to manage the differences of thought and behaviour. Become clear on what you can change in life and what you cannot and learn to place focus where you have a choice.

Embracing Change - Are you kidding me? No, actually not. Change is constant, it is not going anywhere. It is as guaranteed as death and taxes. Sometimes it chooses us and sometimes we choose it. However, it is the process that follows change, "Transition" that causes us the most angst. Once you learn "it's ok" and "I can do this", you will feel more empowered to make better choices and that "mistakes" are great!

The focus of Octagon Coaching is to provide clients an evironment where they feel comfortable and safe enough to take the first step for desired change. As well as regular weekly coaching calls, Octagon provides a variety of resources, as well as emails and lazer calls in between sessions.
