About me
I'm Stephen Coates (hence steveCOACH.nz), a life coach with a Diploma in Professional Coaching and an MBA. I live in Auckland with my gorgeous wife and wonderful children. By day, I'm a pragmatic infosec consultant in the governance, risk management and compliance (GRC) space. In my spare time, I am an active Toastmaster.I've come a long way since starting out as a software student apprentice, back in 1980's England. I now have many years of experience that cover information security, cloud, risk management, privacy, e-commerce, IT infrastructure and IT Service Management. Having worked in these fields for so long, I've accumulated a wealth of war stories and a treasure chest of badges and certifications.Some aspects of this career progression have been more or less fun than others: job role changes, career crossroads and redundancy; migration vs. relocation; lifelong learning vs. continual upskilling and recertification. These experiences have all helped shape my coaching philosophy and approach.
Coaching
BEFOREYes, we'll want to start off with a free, 30-minute, no obligation, exploratory session. Of course, I'm going to say that I will happily coach you over Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Apple Facetime or Google Meet. And I'm also going to give a hat tip to the Global Code of Ethics for Coaches, Mentors, and Supervisors -- which you'll want to download and read beforehand, so you can ask me any questions.DURINGThen, if the chemistry is right, we can move to my signature coaching package. For a commitment of NZ$825, this is a bundle of seven one-hour sessions, designed to help mid-career infosec and IT professionals, like yourself, gain clarity, focus and momentum.Every fortnight, through powerful questioning and active listening, I will help you unlock your own inner wisdom and identify the specific action steps you need to take to achieve your goals.With each session, you'll gain a deeper understanding of your values, priorities and purpose, and develop the skills and mindset you need to thrive, both personally and professionally. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready to "take your life to the next level", my coaching package can help you get there.We might even use a web app to capture actions and track your progress between each session, if that's a help.AFTERSo, after completing my signature coaching package, you could find that you still want some level of ongoing support and guidance. That's where my top-up sessions can come in handy.At NZ$80, these 45-minute, ad hoc coaching sessions can be perfect if you want to stay accountable, overcome obstacles, continue making progress towards your desired outcomes, or if you simply need a sounding board to help you process your thoughts.NEXT STEP?Now that you're ready to explore what coaching can do, you'll want to contact me to schedule your free, 30-minute, no obligation, exploratory session, and discover how we can work together to unlock your full potential!
