I’ve set up a community interest company to offer coaching and support to
people, including those who wouldn’t normally consider it or be able to access
it. This can help them to gain clarity about what they want, increase their
resilience and develop an action plan for their future. It’s about 10 years
since I first had some coaching sessions, to help me find a new direction after
redundancy. I really appreciated being able to confide in someone who was
independent of my life, yet committed to my progress. It was very satisfying to
have the space to consider what really mattered to me and to explore my hopes
and fears. I started to see my situation differently and began to trust myself
to follow the direction that seemed to be beckoning me. Years later, a chance
opportunity to go to a taster session in coach training led me to enrol on the
course, followed by a course in Advanced Coaching Skills. This has helped me to
build on the experience I’ve gained in working with people over the course of my
career and apply my learning to help others. I’ve worked in a range of
interesting projects over the years: Talking to people to find out how work
affects their health and helping to reduce the impactChalk heart on bench
Evaluating how engaging in live music can help people in healthcare settings
Working with voluntary organisations to develop new strategies Implementing
research to improve the health of patient groups Interviewing prisoners about
their health and social care needs Supporting those with a health condition or
disability to find training, volunteering or employment I’ve seen and
experienced the benefits that coaching can bring, and look forward to reaching
out to people who want to change their life, enabling them to look inside for
their own inspiration.
