front-page - Sean Whitaker Coaching

Hi, I'm Sean

I am passionate about coaching and the permanent positive changes it can bring in your life. I provide coaching in a wide range of areas from career changes, to behavior changes, to business start up, and I have a particular passion for leadership coaching and health coaching. If you are looking for credentials, I have earned the following:

Associate Certified Coach (ACC) with the International Coaching Federation (ICF)

Masteries Practitioner with the International Association of Coaching (IAC)

Certified Health Coach with American Council of Exercise (ACE)

Certified Personal Trainer with National Council of Sport and Fitness (NCSF)
A Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree, a Master of Science (MSc) degree, and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree.

In addition to my credentials, I have many years of coaching and consulting experience, and have coached hundreds of clients around the world. But perhaps, even more importantly, I have many years of actual life experience. I have successfully started many businesses; I have coached and taught leadership all around the globe; and I have had my share of health and well-being ups and downs (I’ve competed as an endurance athlete and as a bodybuilder, and I have had to learn to walk again after an injury). I bring all of these credentials, professional and personal experience to my coaching practice.

I know you will probably have questions about me and also about coaching so please don't hesitate to contact me by email or simply book a free initial conversation and I can answer all of your questions.

Coaching

Coaching is a proven way to make changes, gain insight and get clarity. It isn't a process of providing advice, instead I work with you and ask lots of questions, challenge you and use proven coaching techniques to help you reach the solutions you want.

The science is really clear that if I give you advice that you probably won't take it, and it probably isn't right for you anyway. But if I work with you as a coach then we know that any changes you want to make will last longer. I may offer advice if I think it will be useful, but I will always ask your permission first.

You can have a single coaching session, buy a package of 3 or 6 sessions, or have a session just whenever you want. That's the beauty about coaching, it's focused on you and what actually works for you.

I am based in New Zealand but my coaching sessions are carried out over Zoom or Skype so you can be anywhere in the world (as long as you have good internet access).

Here are the three main areas of coaching that I specialise in:

Health Coaching

Are you looking to get back in shape? Has your doctor recommended exercise or changes to your diet? Do you simply want to have more energy and feel better about yourself?

True health and well-being is a combination of physical fitness, nutrient dense eating and emotional well-being. As a certified Health Coach and a certified Personal Trainer, I am able to provide coaching in all of these areas to enable you to reach your peak. I provide individual and group health coaching, well-being & resilience improvement, weight loss and personal training sessions. We will work together to find the way that works best for you and produces actual results.

Make time to book the first free conversation and start your journey to better health.

Life Coaching

Are you starting a new business? Considering a career change? Trying to change personal habits, patterns and behaviors? Trying to make a big decision?

If any of these apply then working with me as your coach can accelerate change, and provide clarity at these points in your life. I will be working with you to reach the goals and solutions you really want that produce actual change.

Our time together will be focused on you and your needs, and we will also focus on achievable and suitable goals that take you towards where you want to be.

Take the first step towards those changes you want to make by booking a free conversation with me.

Leadership Coaching

Are you being your truly authentic self as a leader?

Being a truly effective leader means finding out who you are as a person first. My job as your coach is to work with you to identify your strengths as a leader and how you can use these to be the best version of yourself.

Our coaching sessions will leave you more confident in your own abilities as a leader no matter what situation you find yourself in.

Make time to book a first initial conversation and take the first step towards being the leader you know you can be.

Book a Coaching Session

All of my coaching is done over Zoom, Skype or telephone so it doesn't matter where in the world you are. It always begins with a completely free, no obligation conversation where we can get to know each other and figure if it coaching is right for you, and how we will work together.

Coaching is affordable and it will definitely provide value for money. You can have a single session, buy a package of 3 or 6 sessions, or have sessions whenever suits you.

For your free initial conversation that will answer all of your questions, simply choose 'Initial Consultation' below. If you are a returning client then choose 'Coaching Session'.

P.S. If the time you want isn't available just send me an email with three suggested times and I am sure I can make one of them work.

Sean listened to me and challenged me to think of solutions I hadn't considered before. He then helped me develop realistic goals and milestones - brilliant work!

Sean is warm, articulate and kind. Guiding me towards my goals with kindness but holds me accountable with tangible things to work on!

Sean is persistent, knowledgeable and a really supportive coach. With his help I have achieved several goals I hadn’t been able to achieve on my own

I found Sean to be very thoughtful and helpful. He forced me to prioritize and really consider what was critically important to myself and to the team.

Sean helped me see another way of working out the problem and focus on the outcome.

Sean was phenomenal! He recommended items that I could easily incorporate into my work day that would help me weather the storm in a positive manner. I am actually looking forward to our next session! Thank you Sean!

Sean was lovely and competent guiding me through a series of questions to help me reveal the answers I need for my situation.

Want to thank a different kind of front-line worker. Sean Whitaker has been a phenomenal professional & personal coach for me during this difficult year. Thanks Sean.
