COACHING

Traditionally, addictions services are largely focused on providing detox, primary and secondary care, halfway houses and often do so admirably and with great success.

12 step programmes help a significant proportion of recovering addicts of various kinds with a tried and tested programme for recovery, support, guidance and a powerful community to help get & stay stopped.

One-to-one & Group therapies can also play an important part in treating some of the underlying contributors to addictions/relapse such as trauma, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (and many other conditions), healing past wounds and helping recovering addicts come to terms with being in recovery and help to prevent relapse.

But what then? Many recovering addicts are left more than a little lost, unsure of where they are going, who they are, what they are made up of, how to handle the basic skills of life and build relationships, let alone identifying and creating new dreams and visions to pursue,  unearthing deeper held values & goals and finding creative ways of living life.

Moreover many in recovery are led to relapse from not having the psychological, emotional, physical or spiritual tools and perspectives needed to help create resilient, sustainable and positive lives or fully realize their potential (to be happy).

Executive Coaching

The challenge of re-entering the business world and the stresses of an executive role after treatment (from both substances and processes) can be immense, exciting and frankly occasionally overwhelming.

Transitioning back to work can pose a serious threat of relapse for people unless they have the support network and guidance they need to navigate this change successfully and sustainably.

Understanding how to function and operate effectively in the workplace and take the journey back to a sustainable high-performance career and an enjoyable life, while simultaneously coming to terms with being in recovery and integrating new learning about one self, emotions, relationships and a whole new way of life can be both exhilarating and daunting.

We believe these demands and risks can be significantly eased by working with an executive coach to help you along the way.

Our coaches have all had successful professional careers (in the city, in advertising or with professional services firms), have experienced the process of going through treatment and re-entering executive roles as well as setting up their own businesses and after long term recovery becoming Executive life coaches.

Achilles executive coaches have significant time in sustainable and relapse free recovery (over 10 years) and are on hand to help you re-integrate as smoothly, effectively and enjoyably as possible to create a acceleration back to sustainable high performance helping ensure that your recovery is as safe as can be and your personal or company investment in the treatment process is further protected and your personal potential fulfilled.

The coaching will be led by your own particular context, situation, needs and wants to help ensure a sustainable enjoyable recovery and career success.

Your executive coaching could include creating strategies, goals, learning and plans in some of the following areas:
