Coaching Philosophy and Approach

Truly effective coaching cannot be applied using one discipline or approach. The fact is that most individuals are exactly that, individual. This means the Arpeggio approach is truthful transparency for everyone as to our mandate and their goals. The Arpeggio coaching style is holistic, values-based and emphasizes a person holistically. Marie is dynamic, energetic and a focused listener with a natural ability to guide clients using a safe and thought-provoking approach whilst offering professionalism and honesty as standard. While the Arpeggio approach focuses on a variety of offerings, Marie's speciality area is in working with thought patterns and interpersonal behaviour, understanding that behavioural change comes about as a result of a synthesis of insight, understanding, choices and self-discovery.
