  • What can I expect from 1:1 coaching?
    Expect to get uncomfortable, be challenged respectfully and embrace a period of inner reflection and vulnerability as you get clear about your goals and what needs to happen to make progress. I will be your trusted coach throughout the journey making sure to stretch your thinking and most importantly create a safe space for you to reflect, take action and grow.
  • How is coaching different to mentoring?
    Mentoring is when someone more experienced or senior shares advice from their journey. Mentors play a role of "telling" you what they would do in your situation for the challenges or goals you are wanting to work on. A coach will rarely tell you what to do, instead will be asking you questions to aid your thinking, clarify and facilitate insights towards actions.
  • How is coaching different to counselling?
    Counselling is more focussed on the past and healing from experiences that require processing acknowledgement and reframing to carry on with our lives. Coaching on the other hand is more solution and future focussed.
  • Will confidentiality be maintained?
    Confidentiality is respected and forms the basis of a trusted relationship. I hold myself to the ICF Code of Ethics which goes beyond confidentiality to ensure a safe, professional, responsible approach to coaching excellence.
  • Not sure I am ready for coaching?
    Coaching is definitely a commitment and an investment in your self-reflection and pursuit of goals. If you don't feel ready yet, let's stay in touch. Sign up to receive updates every now and then.
  • Would Leadership Coaching be relevant if I don't have direct reports?
    Definitely yes! Being a leader is not limited to having people directly reporting to you. As organizations become flatter and more complex, the need for leaders at all levels is more than ever. Leadership involves leading self, others and tasks. Coaching can help you step up your leadership across these dimensions for increased influence and impact.
  • What topics would Personal Coaching support with?
    What matters to you! Examples of topics are habit formation, goal setting and pursuit, career growth and transitions, productivity, high performance, decision making etc.
  • What does a Strengths Profile report look like?
    It's a comprehensive report mapping your strengths across the dimensions of performance, energy and use. For sample reports, have a look at these links for Expert and Leader Strengths Profiles.
  • What is the benefit of a debrief session when I do my Strengths Profile?
    When you complete your Strengths self-assessment, you are then able to receive a comprehensive report. This report will have lots of information about your strengths, what brings you energy, which strengths are under utilized etc. While you can always read the report yourself, I have found the most impact coming from a debrief and coaching conversation. This ensures there is time set aside for meaningful reflection to unwrap your profile and gain insights into what actions you would like to take.
  • Who is providing the service?
    All the coaching is provided by Anne who started Unhidden Potential in 2024 following her own "what-if". Read more about your coach. Say hi to Layla who has been by Anne's side as Unhidden Potential was created! 🐶
  • How will we meet up for coaching?
    The coaching sessions are organized as virtual calls using Microsoft Teams. If you are in Adelaide, we could also arrange a session or two in person.
  • How long are the sessions?
    Duration of sessions are as below: • Optional clarity call = 20 minutes • Pre-engagement alignment call = 30-45 minutes • Each coaching session = 1 hour • Strengths Profile report debrief = 1.25 hours for Expert and 1.5 hours for Leader
  • How frequent are the sessions?
    This will depend on the coaching engagement option you have signed up for. The indicated duration is a guideline and I remain flexible to adapt the pace as needed. For goals that require more time to make progress and benefit from coaching, I'd be happy to space out the sessions. We only need to plan one session at a time, so there is always the flexibility to work around our schedules and what we feel is most appropriate.
  • What if I can't join at the planned time?
    To help me best manage my calendar and time for other clients, any reschedules need to be advised at least 24 hours before. If you have had a last minute unplanned emergency, I understand life happens! No-shows and late cancellations for other reasons would impact the duration of remaining coaching sessions.
  • Would I need to prepare anything before a coaching session?
    You wouldn't need to prepare anything for the clarity and pre-engagement calls. There will be some homework and action items in between coaching sessions. It's also recommended to spend few minutes to reflect on learnings, insights, progresses made and challenges prior to an upcoming coaching session. This will just help you get the most out of the time we have together in the call.
  • How can I be sure to commit and pay for this service?
    If you are unsure, you can book a FREE 20 mins consult which serves as a chemistry check to help us both decide. The website also details my credentials, values and client testimonials to give you an idea of what partnering with me would look and feel like. I appreciate it's a commitment of time and an investment to engage in coaching. If you are willing and ready to make that commitment, I will be ready to support you in your journey!
  • How much would I be paying for coaching?
    When you make a booking online, you will be able to provide your details and confirm payment to secure your spot. The price you pay is for the value from the coaching partnership and is not limited to an "hourly rate" as such. If you have any questions you would like to clarify before committing, you can book your FREE 20 mins consult. Keeping the rates transparent and accessible to people without compromising the value is something I will always be mindful of.
  • Do you offer discounts?
    Yes where it makes sense without compromising the value linked to the service. If you are part of an organization looking to engage for multiple people, then I would surely support a discount. Same for returning customers and referrals. This is something we can discuss to align and help inform your decision.
  • Can I get a refund if it doesn't work for me?
    If for any reason you feel like terminating is the best decision, I’ll be happy to refund partial costs provided we give the program a chance for at least two sessions. Note that in rare instances, termination could also occur from my side prioritizing the client’s best interests. As feedback is important for our learning and growth, I do appreciate an open dialogue for any adjustments or decisions that need to be made.
  • Will I be asked for my feedback?
    Of course! I am all about the customer experience - YOUR experience. I will be checking in with you throughout the program to gauge how you are feeling, the value you are getting and if you had any suggestions for me to better support you. You will also receive an anonymous feedback form at the end to share your overall satisfaction and comments about the coaching engagement and it's impact.
  • What if coaching isn't really working for me?
    The earlier you feel this way, please let me know. I should normally sense this and check-in as well. If I haven't picked it up, do feel safe and supported in bringing it up. We can explore together what's not working and next steps to take. Maybe the timing isn't right for you? Maybe you don't have the bandwidth to commit to driving change and making progress towards your goals? Maybe my coaching style needs adapting to suit? Maybe the sessions need to be spaced out a bit more? Whatever it is, let's discuss and make sure this is a valuable experience.
  • Where and how will my feedback be used?
    Any feedback shared during our coaching engagement remains confidential as with everything else discussed during the sessions. In the feedback form shared at the end of our coaching engagement, you will have the opportunity to confirm if you'd like to provide a testimonial for Unhidden Potential. Your feedback will only be shared online with your consent. View examples of testimonials for Unhidden Potential here.
