Dilip Karia
I have a genuine and deep-rooted belief that every individual has within them the potential, capacity and resource to grow and unleash potential.
I whole-heartedly believe that by working together we can develop greater understanding of any issue and develop strategies to resolve complex and perplexing situations by unravelling self-insights and discussing practical solutions. This has been validated with over 15 years continual experience in the public, volunteer, education and private sector.
By immersing myself in the science of behavioural mindsets, I have gained extensive experience and qualifications in psychotherapy, counselling and coaching.
Chris Restell
Chris Restell is a genuine, credible individual whose coaching experience focuses on not only the day-to-day experiences and difficulties which Leaders & Managers encounter but also on their aspirations, goals, dreams and the problems that people encounter which perhaps stops them from fulfilling them.
Chris believes a multitude of coaching approaches needs to be considered in coaching people successfully, especially as individuals are unique and more than one approach might help them. He has experience in Motivational Interviewing techniques and Solution Focus approaches.
He is a firm believer that people can develop new ways of thinking and through this can obtain new knowledge, both of which can then enable the individual to recognise they have a greater selection of choice available to them on such topics as decision making, mindset and that subsequently these help to identify the actions which will then lead them to success.
Chris feels coaching has the power to enable people to resolve the most complex and difficult of situations they encounter. It can move people from a sense of ‘being stuck’ and having ‘little or no control’ over things, to a mindset of ‘action, achievement, growth, control and influence.’
"I felt very comfortable talking to Chris. He was very calm and professional, and right from the start, I felt I could trust him.
I really liked the way Chris repeated back to me the things I had been saying. Hearing him summarise what I had just said helped me see the situation more clearly. In each coaching session with Chris, I had at least one ‘lightbulb’ moment where I realised something significant. Some of the techniques Chris used in the coaching sessions with me were very effective in helping me grow and develop my business, I still use some of them now."
