Helping you with…
During our lives we are likely to encounter periods when we doubt ourselves and our abilities – this can hold us back in future plans or decisions. Even make us different people! I will help you to understand why this has happened and give you exercises and tools to build your confidence and self-esteem.
Focusing on confidence, self-esteem skills and motivation – goal setting and solution focused thinking. We will work closely with your performance expectations and job description, making sure with clarity that the efforts you are putting in are in the right directions to meet your goals.
‘That old chestnut’ achieve the unachievable – actually you can! We will focus on energy levels, efficiency skills, communication skills and what is important to you in relation to family life and work life. Without a break and other fun things to do in life, we are less efficient, grumpy and resentful in the workplace – none of that is good!
Struggling to say ‘NO’ people stealing your time, forever late or unprepared.
We will focus on the key time management skills improving efficiency, communication and performance. How to Manage distractions and procrastination.
Self-esteem and self-confidence building will be your area to work on, learning the implications of your actions and those around you. Helping you to say ‘No’ and dissolving hang ups from past issues that are holding you back.
Lets first of all look at what has happened before and understand why it has or has not worked. Lifestyle changes need to be realistic, affordable, achievable and totally with in our capabilities – sometimes baby steps are needed!
Understanding stress and where it is coming from why and the impact are so very important. Coping methods, lifestyle changes confidence and communication skills will be the areas of our focus – this will help you to take control of the stress and make sure you remain in control.
If you manage people and would like for you and them to reach peak performance - we will look at objectives, motivation building, goal setting and recognition. As well as the personality drivers of each individual and how to make the most of their individuality.
We will seek to understand what triggers your feelings of upset or Anger, then look closely at you core values. You can then learn coping and calming methods, self-control and communication skills.
‘Some people seem to have it all mapped out’ Some have just bumbled their way to here – either way if you would like to have a little more control over your future plans. Firstly we can work together to outline what it might look like, then we can focus on a journey with structure and objectives that will achieve your goals.

Working together
Face to face
This could be here in my studio in Topsham or your workplace. I feel that far more is achieved face to face, the working relationship is built on trust, knowledge and sharing. There will be exercises and tasks to be completed away from our sessions.
Phone
Phone coaching accompanied by emails with exercises is far more time efficient and greener for the planet!
Online meeting
Using an online meeting platform will give us the visual contact, as with phone coaching there will be accompanying emails and exercises to be completed away from our sessions.
Workshop
Workshops are face to face and very flexible, taking the form that is most suitable to you or your team. One day workshops are proving to be the most popular – the numbers of people will dictate the venue. You can do a one day workshop on your own if you would prefer.
