Gorette’s approach to coaching is influenced by Neuroscience and she has attended many other global coaching programmes that she brings into her sessions. She prefers a holistic approach and works with what is presented by the coachee in a session to actively explore the coachee’ s own abilities, potential, dreams and resources. She draws on her personal and corporate experiences and integrates this with a variety of coaching methodologies and tools. She works comfortably with the coachee, the system and the outcomes expected by the coachee and the system.

Gorette actively engages with her coachee during and between sessions. She provides them with relevant tools that encourage self- reflection and learning to sustain the growth path and achieve the goals that they have been set and changing the original mindset into new thinking and behaviour.
