Extraordinary Thinking!
Hello, I'm the Person Coach...
What does that even mean!? – The Person Coach life coaching methodology looks at the whole person and helps them move forward powerfully and creatively in their lives.
With a specialism in ADHD and neuro-difference, I have developed a programme and session structure that clearly and succinctly creates long lasting strategies that clients can take forward and use for the rest of their lives.
I also cover creativity and the creative process, by working together we will bring clarity and surety to your projects.
From writing and painting, to game development and motion picture, we create a working structure designed for you, allowing you to take your concept from a sketch on a napkin to an extraordinary achievement you are proud of and happy to share with the world.
Why Person?
According to Star Trek a person has “intelligence, self-awareness and consciousness”, for philosopher and author of Practical Ethics Peter Singer a person is “a being who is capable of anticipating the future, of having wants and desires for the future” and in answer to the question “what is a person?” posed by the magazine Philosophy Now, Anthony MacIsaac states “a person is a being endowed with imagination. A person is able to think abstractly, to project themselves into imaginary situations, to plan for the future, and to reflect on the past.”.
Distilling those answers to a single definition leaves us with a list of attributes:
• Intelligence
• Self-awareness
• The capacity to desire for the future
• The ability to think abstractly
• The ability to project themselves into those abstract thoughts
Ok, but what about the life coaching part?
By no coincidence these are the exact attributes that coaching energises! Through a series of coaching conversations we discuss your desires for the future, we explore your understanding of who you are in relation to the desires (self-awareness), we think abstractly about how to get to those desires, we project you into that future and we intelligently plan a course of action to get you there. Coaching the whole person.
And why do I want coaching?
If you’re here, you may well be at a point in your life where the next step seems out of reach, or you’ve got so bogged down in the day to day admin of simply being that you can’t see a way forward.
You have goals, desires, opportunities, or outcomes you can see in the distance but you’re not sure how to make the first step towards them.
You may be blocked in some way, either by your own story or circumstances that seem impossible to overcome.
Or you may just want a quick boost to get you over the finish line.
Wherever you are, I can help, just like I’ve helped these people.
Testimonials
Wow thanks soooooo much for today - that exercise genuinely really helped me - loved it! Thanks for creating a safe space for me to explore the area of confidence and ability… very enlightening and I have taken so much from that session at a time I really need to believe in myself.
Emma
It is no exaggeration to say Paul unlocked my dream to write stories and helped me realise it every step of the way. He has an incredible gift for making anything feel possible and achievable, and then gives you practical steps to help you reach your goal.
He is incredibly open and friendly and really listens to what you have to say. He then picks out the key details that make you realise you had the answer to your own question all along.
Paul worked with me in weekly sessions which were great. During these meetings we would discuss ideas and goals to help me move along. He always made himself readily available to provide feedback on ideas during the week, which was really helpful and ensured we got the most out of our weekly sessions. Highly recommended!
Ziad
Paul is one of those annoyingly talented people who’s a little bit good at everything, and what’s even more annoying is he’s not remotely annoying in person. Thoughtful, insightful and inspirational, Paul listened to my jumbled introspective self-paralysis at the absolute low point in my life, and, over a series of structured sessions, slowly began to give my days structure, grow my confidence and reignite the dormant fires of my creativity. No mean feat.
I’d recommend him to anyone stuck in the quicksand of the day to day, or who has lost the spark they know is still inside them, or who needs a little bit of untangling. He’s genial, genuinely helpful and doesn’t make you do too many charts or homework, but leaves you feeling like you’re always making progress.
Louis
I would recommend Paul to anyone looking for coaching. Paul and I worked together when I launched my business and he has been so positive, reassuring and supportive throughout the last 3 years. Paul has a fabulous humour, creativity and skill to bring out the best in you. He is a natural coach!
Meg
Paul gave me the space and time I needed to reflect positively without influencing me in any direction. He supported me strategically in finding my own solutions.
Each session left me feeling energized and with an overall sense of progress toward my goals, with confidence and the feeling I was doing what was right for me.
Laurent
I didn’t really know if I needed/wanted life coaching but knew I wanted something to change within myself. I am so chuffed I did.
Paul is truly brilliant.
He brings out the best in you - you on your best day!
Having a clear and exciting vision each week has been invaluable to me and I have learnt techniques to deal with life’s challenges that I will keep with me forever.
Julie
I wish I had discovered coaching sooner.
As a creative person trying to become a professional artist, I was constantly overrun with ideas and projects. I often felt lost and would resort to manual labour for a less stressful source of income.
Paul has been amazing. With his sessions, I've been able to organise the creative chaos into manageable artistic endeavours. I now see myself as a professional artist.
While I still encounter struggles at times, I'm much better equipped to set achievable goals that lead to a more positive and less overwhelming creative process.
Jack
I am incredibly grateful for the transformative guidance provided by Paul. His practical and insightful approach has been instrumental in navigating crucial life decisions. Paul's coaching has brought clarity and a balanced perspective to my journey. His ability to ask thought-provoking questions and challenge assumptions has empowered me to make informed choices, fostering both personal and professional growth.
Paul's genuine commitment to understanding the intricacies of each decision sets him apart, making him an invaluable partner on the path to achieving my goals. I highly recommend Coach Paul Seymour to anyone seeking a grounded and effective coaching experience.
