Looking for transformative change in your work or life?

Coaching services to help you create more meaning and rise to your fullest potential

Transitions can be tricky, often throwing all you know up in the air. But they can also be an adventure. At Great Heights Pathways, we see your potential. And we like adventures.

We offer both Life Coaching — for those looking to find more meaning in their life, improve personal relationships or get out of a rut — and Leadership Coaching — for those looking specifically to improve their work experiences and build impactful relationships. Both rely on the core concepts of connection to self, others and the world around us, but the implementation and focus is different.

COACHING PHILOSOPHY

People come to coaching for a variety of reasons: to find greater purpose, to improve their relationships or to expand their leadership and mentoring skills. Regardless of what’s brought you here, the path forward starts with deeper connection and attunement: to yourself, to the people in your life, and to the environment in which you live and work.

Learn to listen to yourself — all of you

It’s easy to lose sight of what we really want and who we really are in a world that’s constantly telling us what we ‘should’ do. A world where we’re bombarded with images and ideals that society tells us are desirable. When the cultural voices are so loud, it can be hard to hear the voice inside telling us what we really need and want. 

In order to hear that voice, and to create a life aligned with it, you need to reconnect to yourself. Not just your mind, but your body and your intuition. 

During your coaching sessions, you’ll be asked to connect deeply and reflect upon those niggling inner voices. You’ll be guided to clarify your values and to define that elusive purpose — you’ll be asked about what really matters to you and what brings you to life. You’ll also face into everyday challenges with new skills and perspectives that enable growth. By working and living in a way that aligns with your core values, you’ll begin to see the path forward and to take the next right step.

You may find your stress levels drop once you begin to act in integrity, allowing you to think and feel more clearly, and make better decisions. You’ll feel empowered to make the necessary changes in your life. And, as you repeatedly build the confidence to do what feels right for you, the momentum will build. 

We don’t live in isolation

If you really want to live a meaningful and impactful life, you need to think about how you interact with the people in your life. From life partners to colleagues and neighbours to employees — every interaction you have with another person provides you with an opportunity. How do you learn to get the most out of your interpersonal relationships — and maybe even learn how to be a better person?   

Coaching helps you: 

·       Understand the impact that you have on others and the world

·       Learn how to navigate conflict more effectively

·       Have deeper, more meaningful conversations with the people in your life

·       Learn how to create space between stimulus and response, so that interactions become intentional instead of reactive

We’re a part of the natural world

We’re not separate from nature. We’re just as much a part of it as that oak tree you see out the window, or the hummingbird buzzing by the flower. And by living otherwise, we cut ourselves off from a wealth of wisdom.

Being in nature helps us to slow down, awaken our senses and be fully present in our body. In this mode, we can feel and use our own biological intelligence. Today, modern science has proven what many people have always known: that spending time in nature reduces stress and anxiety, enables creative thought, brings forth mental clarity, boosts our immune systems and helps us understand and regulate emotion (among a long list of other benefits). 

Spending time in nature also makes it easier for our subconscious thoughts to emerge, allowing us to communicate more clearly about what’s going on internally. Confronting our challenges from this deeper place allows us to find answers we might otherwise overlook. 

Finally, coaching in nature is one of the best ways to explore our true nature. Who are we? What are the unique talents we possess? What are we passionate about? What do we really want? By immersing ourselves in nature, we feel the ‘shoulds’ drop away and can answer these questions in an honest and authentic way.

Nature is wise. And by remembering that we are one creature in a vast ecosphere, we connect with that deep well of wisdom.

COACHING OFFERS

Life coaching to help you get unstuck

Everyone gets stuck. But you don’t have to stay stuck. 

Maybe you’re stuck in a job you know isn’t right for you — but you have a mortgage to pay and a family to support. How can you find a path forward that feels more aligned to who you are, and who you want to be, while still fulfilling your responsibilities?

Maybe you’re struggling to find balance between your career and family. You know there must be a better way to manage everything, but you can’t see how to get there.

Maybe you find yourself reacting to situations in a way that no longer serves you or the people around you, but you’re unable to change this long-seated behaviour.

If any of the above sound familiar, you’ve come to the right place.
We’ll meet you where you are and help you get where you want to go.

Leadership Coaching

Authentic leadership comes from being yourself. And in order to be yourself, you need to reconnect to all of you: mind, body and intuition. You need to lead from your values — not just from external ideals.

Maybe you’ve started a new role and you’re worried you don’t have the skills to be an effective leader. Or maybe you’re a strong strategic business leader but less effective at bringing out the best in others.

Maybe you’re exhausted from navigating toxic relationships at work, and believe there’s a better way of working — but you don’t know how to get there from where you are. Or maybe you are struggling to find that elusive ‘balance’ the world goes on about when the demands on your time are endless.

Using a dynamic, fit-for-modern leadership model, as well as our pillars of connection to self, others and the world at large, we’ll look at practical and tangible ways you can improve your effectiveness at work — and inspire others to do the same. 

  • Your values and purpose

    Your unique leadership strengths and areas for development

    Understanding the impact you have on your workplace and the people in it

    Having difficult conversations

    How to communicate more effectively to inspire and motivate

    We’ll wrestle with big concepts, while also defining concrete, tangible changes you can make in your thinking and behaviour to empower you to become a more impactful leader.

  • € 4000
    10 x 90-minute sessions incl. exchange of session notes & homework

WHAT COACHING CLIENTS SAY

  • "To work with Caitlin is to work with a coach who is skilled in her craft, fully present and deeply thoughtful. I brought a big challenge in my career to the table, and as I worked with Caitlin, I got to know myself in new ways, got clearer on what I wanted, and developed new skills and resources to bring to bear against my challenge. As a result, I am approaching and thinking about my path completely differently, and I’m seeing possibilities and exploring directions that I would not have conceived of prior to coaching."

    Shawn, 31, Entrepreneur, Austin

  • "I started my work with Caitlin wanting to feel more confident and know what direction to take for greater fulfilment in my work. After 10 sessions, I found my way with these development paths, and now have enduring methods that have brought me freedom and independence. What I like most about working with Caitlin is that it's a collaboration. I could also just "be" as I was - everything was welcome. Laughing, crying and parts of me that were challenging were welcome – as was silence, clarity, uncertainty and wanting to try out new things. Caitlin is warm, knowing, cool, unwavering, experienced and real in her presence! I feel our coaching work together was a great success. The path ahead is clear and joyful. I am not alone – and I feel touched by the new abilities and qualities that are in me."

    Eva, 50, Freelancer & Entrepreneur, Berlin

  • "Before I started my coaching journey with Caitlin, I often felt anxious, out of control and pessimistic. Caitlin showed me how to access my inner resources and taught me skills that completely shifted my mindset and perspective. I now turn towards a joyful life full of potential, excited and confident to pursue my vision. I’m amazed how understanding myself better has also profoundly improved my relationships — with my husband, family, friends and colleagues alike."

    Viktoria, 38, Creative Agency Founder, Lisbon

FAQs

  • ANYONE. We’re all human. We all dream big dreams, experience the slings and arrows of life and want to better understand ourselves, each other and our place in the world. Coaching helps us explore and find our sense of alignment in the face of these big questions. And coaching works because it’s extremely hard — I’m going to venture, even impossible— to face these big questions alone. When the path is unclear, thorny or feels like a treacherous mountain to climb, it’s better to have someone to walk alongside you. With someone who believes in you, challenges you and wants you to rise to your potential, you’ll feel much more able to leave behind the status quo and old patterns that no longer serve you.

  • It’s hard to say because every client is different. Some clients feel resourced and ready to brave the wilderness on their own after one package of sessions and others find great value in applying coaching to all areas of their lives, continuing to deepen and broaden their personal development work for years. You’ll get a sense of how long you want coaching support during the process but we do ask that you commit to a minimum of 5-6 months working together, so that you can see and feel the impact of our work. Invest and trust in the process and then watch your life transform. That’s what we see time and time again.

    We offer a 45-minute discovery call so that both coach and coachee get a feel for the fit, but then we ask for a commitment of 10 sessions so that we really get the opportunity to dive into who you are, what makes you tick, the challenges you’re facing and then you’ll discover and implement the ways in which to change and grow.

  • We have different rates for those paying out of their own pocket (€250/session) and those who have a company paying (€400/session). In either case, we ask for a 10 session commitment.
