About Me
After a fulfilling thirty-year career in primary education I am now following my dream and working as a coach. I was the head of a primary school for the final seventeen years of my teaching career and have extensive experience of leadership and the joys and challenges this brings.
I completed the ILM Level 7 Diploma for Executive and Senior Level Coaches and Mentors with ‘In Good Company’ in August 2024 and have over 200 hours of coaching and mentoring experience. This gives me a wealth of knowledge to bring to coaching sessions.
My coaching style is described as calm, warm and positive, and my absolute passion is working with people to help them rediscover clarity and confidence. I particularly enjoy working with people experiencing change, small business owners and senior leaders in education.
What’s Special About Coaching?
Coaching offers you the time and space to think, breathe and be.
It enables you to:
- Think about your next steps and goals.
- Plan actions that are right for you.
- Hear your own thinking with a coach as your listening partner.
- Identify and explore thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
And, for those of you who like a quote, here’s one that resonates with me: “The ultimate goal of coaching is to help the client understand themselves better so they can find ways to make the most of their potential.” (Watts and Morgan, 2015)
Coaching Testimonials
Here’s what a previous client said about their experience:
“I found the time that I spent with Sue absolutely invaluable at a time of impending change in my life. Using her incredibly subtle and positive listening skills she led me to understandings and realisations that gave me confidence and even hope at a time of transition.
Sue’s sessions are carefully crafted but also flexible and responsive to the discovery of new ideas. The sessions were something that I actively looked forward to and they helped me to move forward with excitement and anticipation as opposed to trepidation.
Quite apart from all these positives, Sue is just incredibly good company and a person whose warmth and humour makes the time fly by. I can’t envisage a time in anyone’s life when time in the oasis of calm that Sue provides would not be an edifying experience.”
