What’s it like navigating the world of consulting as a neurodivergent professional? I explored this in a recent episode of The Consultancy Business Podcast with host Phil Lewis and neurodiversity specialist Sarah Castor-Perry. Together, we unpacked key topics like: ✅ How person-centred coaching can unlock potential, ✅ The unique paths that led me and Sarah to champion neurodiversity, ✅ And the importance of breaking free from outdated corporate norms. This episode is packed with insights for anyone looking to create more inclusive workplaces.

Support in creating boundaries to prevent burnout and address challenges around stress / emotional fatigue of managing work, co-parenting (and a potential new relationship, if relevant).     2️⃣ Self Discovery and Emotional Resilience Tools 🧰 Building emotional resilience and coping mechanisms to deal with stress, guilt, and difficult emotions in a healthier way. Discovering more about you and what matters to you most, and why. 3️⃣ Co-Parenting Coaching 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 Building healthier communication with the ex and finding ways to collaborate on raising the children in a stable and supportive environment.     4️⃣ Personal Time Management ⏰ Techniques to help prioritise your personal needs, so you can find time for self-care, socialising, and personal growth despite the many competing demands on your time.     5️⃣ (if relevant) Relationship Support ❤️ Help navigating the complexities of blending a new romantic relationship with parenting responsibilities and ensuring it doesn’t negatively impact your children.     The programme will be a mix of 4 group and 2 individual sessions with a kick-off session in January.

Mary Portas closes her inspiring and insightful manifesto for change, “Work Like a Woman”, drawing on personal experience, with tips for women who are 50+, whether continuing in the workplace or choosing to retire. Here are 3 tips we can all learn from: “If you haven’t reached the top and are dying to retire, remember that work isn’t always paid. Unpaid work can be vital, rewarding and stimulating. You may retire from a job but you don’t need to leave work.” “If you’ve earned enough money to be financially secure, make sure not to cling too hard to the big salary and forget the rest of your life. It’s finite. Enjoy it.” “You need to open up to let the new in so de-clutter – whether that’s friends or ideas you’ve held on to for a long time but are now weighing you down.” What tips would you give?

Perfect timing on World Menopause Day, that our article is published on the impact of menopause on coaches in the new edition of Coaching Perspectives. Earlier this year, together with Yvonne Inglis, we conducted research to start to quantify the impact of peri/menopause on coaches - with a large cohort self-employed and between a certain age bracket. So pleased to contribute to raising awareness of this topic - not just from a client focus for coaches, but to bring a coach focus for Coaches and Supervisors. The research highlighted and confirmed: ✨ Perimenopause and menopause can have a profound impact on mental as well as physiological health. ✨The key and most common symptoms affecting coaches: brain fog, low motivation, sleep difficulties, memory problems, decreased confidence and anxiety. ✨ The important role of supervisors in resourcing coaches in the context of capacity and self care. ✨The important role of coaching bodies in supporting, informing and bringing dialogue forward. ✨The significant impact on running a coaching business while navigating peri/menopause. ✨The positive impact on coaching relationships, particularly with female clients experiencing similar challenges. Increased empathy, understanding, and self-compassion were noted as key benefits that have enhanced the coaching experience. Thank you to all respondents - we are delighted to share the findings. Access the full Association for Coaching (AC) Coaching Perspectives magazine here http://bit.ly/CPShare The current edition brings an array of perspectives to Journeys.

JUST IN TIME FOR THE WEEKEND: the latest episode of UK MenoWarrior and menopause specialist Dr. Louise Newson's podcast has just dropped and its all about #menopauseatwork In this 30 minute conversation, Dr. Newson is joined by Oonagh Ferson (Assoc CIPD), who researched the experiences of perimenopausal and menopausal women in the workplace as part of her MSc in HR management at Queens University Belfast. Oonagh shares her research findings and some of the stories of women she interviewed, and with Dr Newson discusses the impact of perimenopause, menopause and other conditions such as PMS and PMDD in the workplace. Oonagh offers advice on how women can thrive at work, including the three things she believes would make the biggest difference to women in the workplace: - A bottom up approach, where employers sit down with women and ask them: what would help you? What can we do? - Even though it may be difficult at times, advocate for yourself: be open with your employer to secure the support or adjustments you need. - Having open discussions, using clear language and avoiding terms like ‘the change’, can help dispel the stigma around menopause. LINKS to Apple and Spotify versions in the comments. Happy listening! #menopauseawareness #menopausesupport

We invite you to be part of the fourth cohort of the ‘Beyond Impostor Syndrome’ Programme for 2024. We will be immersing into a practice-based exploration of emotions, to amplify our participants sense of self-worth, dignity & courage. HOW WOULD LIFE IMPROVE IF YOU COULD SHAKE THE FEELING THAT YOU ARE “NOT ENOUGH”? It’s called ‘imposter syndrome’, low self-esteem, believing you are a fake or phony, feeling like a fraud, or unworthy. We’re often told that the way to overcome this sense of “not being enough” is by thinking positive thoughts or to “fake ’till you make it”. Anyone who has tried those knows that they might help but aren’t enough to permanently change the way you feel about yourself. WHAT IS “BEYOND IMPOSTER SYNDROME”? A 3-part live Zoom-hosted course with others who are similarly challenged to learn tools and practices that will change your life. Each session is 90 minutes long and held an atmosphere of trust and intimacy. WHAT DO OUR CLIENTS’ SAY: Jessica S., Business Owner – “Dan and Sam were amazing to work with. Both exemplify professionalism while dealing with imposter syndrome as an entrepreneur. They provided me with the tools and resources necessary to overcome this, as well as opportunities to stay in touch after the course was over. Highly recommended!” University of Wisconsin Participant – “The presenter brought a sense of peace and calm. I carried this mood with me into my work.” Nupur K., Board Member – “This was my first time taking such a course and the learnings were insightful and simple. They touched my core. I am so glad I took this course as it has opened a world of possibilities for me.” WHAT ELSE? Each participant will receive a certificate of completion issued by the School of Emotions reflecting 4.5 International Coaching Federation (ICF) Core Competency CCEUs or 4.5 National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching CEs. DATES: Wednesday 10th July 2024 – Wednesday 24th July 2024 TIMES: 9.00am to 10.30am ET US | 2.00pm to 3.30pm UK GMT | 3.00pm to 4.30pm CET | 3.00pm to 4.30pm SAST REGISTER HERE: https://lnkd.in/dDfzxJ9V or email [email protected] or [email protected] #emotionalliteracy #self-worth #dignity #personalmastery #peoplefirst Dan Newby @schoolofemotionsen

Fantastic to see this on the front page of a newspaper! And from a fabulous researcher in my local area 👏🏼 The suggestion to see a therapist to explore body shame is obviously great, but therapists still have a lot of work to do dismantling their internalised narratives about bodies. And it is absolutely essential that we examine this topic more thoroughly as a profession. It’s not raised in our training and so we risk collusion without a deeper examination of the societal prejudice about bodies which is deeply engrained into us all - therapists are no exception despite our supposed self-awareness of our prejudices as it’s such a deeply unconscious bias. This is why Cat Chappell MBACP (Accred.) and I have created our Anti-Fat Bias in the Therapy Room WORKSHOPS to ensure we are talking about body diversity in the profession to make therapy a really safe place for clients of all sizes!

Sharing Clare’s post below for the coaches in my network because there’s some great tips there. I don’t know about you but I can often be guilty of leaving things to the last moment despite all my good intentions. A coach’s development plan in my opinion should be an ongoing and consciously prioritised thread in our practice. The accreditation process isn’t straightforward and does require time and intention. We don’t have to put our nervous system through unecessary stress when we can take our time, map out how we’re going to develop our knowledge, skills and approach whilst prioritising our wellbeing and happiness. Whst does your development plan look like? Do you have one? I’ve just renewed at PCC so within now and the next three years I have my individual supervision in place, I have recently decided to work with a coach for some personal related challenges, I plan to spread my 10 hours of mentor coaching across the three years plus tap into revisiting previous coach training resources. If you’re getting ready to renew or want to apply for your ACC/PCC credential pop me a DM. Our waitlist is open for our next mentor coaching programme in mid 2025 - we have a 100% pass rate!

💬 "Perks can become an easy way out in the wellbeing space"... That's a quote pulled directly from the article below by Paul Devoy ... and I totally agree. There's a huge gap in how HR and employees perceive the usefulness of the wellbeing support available. For example, whilst 72% of HR decision-makers in businesses that offer gym-memberships believed that employees find them valuable, only 41% of employees in the same organisations found it valuable. Employees want to see the fundamentals of business done right. Things like 🤝 Supportive line-managers 📚 Learning opportunities ➕ Positive work culture Without dealing with the above, the "perks" become pointless. A free mindfulness session isn't going to help someone who feels stuck in their current role... We need to re-frame what people think about when we say workplace wellbeing. Changing the focus from perks, to preventative solutions that tackle workplace issues at their heart. There's still a way to go, but every Wellbeing Lead I am able to talk to about this and re-frame wellbeing in their mind is one step closer! Do you agree? #WorkplaceWellbeing #EmployeeWellbeing #MentalHealthAtWork #WellbeingLead

How do you challenge your assumptions in your work or personal life? Recently, I took on a personal challenge that aligns with my belief in democratizing coaching: I started writing to prisoner pen pals. This experience has been a profound reminder of something crucial for me as a coach—never make assumptions about our clients, or anyone we encounter. Each prisoner letter has offered me a perspective on the human experience. Every individual has a unique story that deserves to be heard and understood without preconceived notions. It's a lesson in humility, reminding me that, as coaches, we have a responsibility to continuously expand our understanding. The stories have deepened my commitment to seeing the person before the problem, the human before the label. It’s a practice that connects deeply to my core values and my ongoing journey as a coach. #Coaching #PersonalGrowth #HumanConnection #Humility #DemocratizeCoaching

I read an article earlier that said data from IPPR indicate that sickness costs in the UK have gone up 30% in the last 6 years. One of the biggest increases is in Mental Health. Whilst for some, medical support is needed, for others coaching or alternative therapy can help enormously. For example, a member of staff signed off work, due to stress had a coaching conversation, where I listened and asked the right questions. The staff member realised that things weren't as bleak as they thought - that they did have options. The member of staff came back to work a week later and has been fine since. A member of staff struggling at work, was determined not to be signed off. A coaching conversation took place, where I listened to them, we agreed some strategies and future support and sickness absence wasn't needed. Supporting staff is always better than losing staff to illness. That is why I offer onsite or online stress support coaching for businesses to offer to their employees. A small investment for big returns.
