About me
As an Accredited Executive Coach I work with Professional People Under Pressure, including residential care managers, teachers, nurses, social workers and ancillary medical staff, to help you get clarity in work and life, and to improve your resilience, well being and effectiveness.
How I got to here
It's been quite a journey - my love for coaching developed out of my work as an ICS and NVQ Management Assessor. I found I really loved coaching and seeing the difference it makes to people, and a well-timed redundancy in 2011 gave me an opportunity to use all my experience to pursue my own business in coaching.
Earlier in my life, after a degree in English at Newcastle University, where I also studied Latin, Greek and Linguistics, I worked for a year in Edinburgh University Library, with a view to a career in that field. Although I enjoyed this I felt I needed to complete my education... and my next step certainly completed it!!
I got a job as an auxiliary nurse on a female orthopaedic ward and then trained as SRN (State Registered Nurse). Once qualified I went on to work for a large local authority in residential management of homes for older people, where I later undertook Health and Social Care assessment and verification.
I’ve coached people in a number of management roles within a large local authority setting, as well as on a personal basis.
I’m really interested in Positive Psychology, Mindfulness, and their applicat
My mission
Finding compassionate and intelligent solutions to help you to thrive wherever you are
This course will teach you how to… Be influential when dealing with challenging people. Get your message across in an engaging and confident way. Look and act assertively at meetings and presentations. Handle conflict diplomatically and professionally. Say NO positively when you need to.
All team leaders, managers and staff looking to widen their influencing skills and enhance their level of assertiveness.
Your ability to effectively articulate your thoughts and desires is critical to your success in any endeavour, both in and out of the workplace; whether you let others have things their way to keep the peace,
Being assertive is a core communication skill. It is not about being aggressive or angry, but rather it's about having confidence in what you believe in whilst showing total respect for others' opinions.
Assertiveness does not come naturally to all because we have all learned passive behaviours to stave off confrontational situations.
