New Ideas Coaching

30/07/2026

Life can be tough at times. It’s easy to get caught up in everything that’s going wrong, especially because our brains are naturally wired to look for problems.

But here’s the thing: what you repeatedly focus on is what your brain gets better at finding.

That doesn’t mean ignoring the challenges. It means choosing not to let them be the only thing you see.

Take a moment today to notice what’s going right. Celebrate the small wins. Be grateful for the progress you’ve made.

You can’t always choose your circumstances, but you can choose where you place your attention. And often, that’s where hope and momentum begin.

This is a little glimpse into what I love doing.

Most people know me through one thing or another, but this poster is a pretty good snapshot of what New Ideas Coaching is all about.

At its heart, I love helping people better understand themselves, build on their natural strengths, and create stronger leaders, healthier teams and more confident individuals. It’s incredibly rewarding to see those moments when someone discovers a new perspective on themselves or those around them.

I’d love your help getting this message in front of more people.

If you have a noticeboard at your workplace, gym, sports club, church, school, café or community space, I’d really appreciate you putting one up. You never know who might walk past and realise it’s exactly the conversation they needed.

If you’d like a print-ready PDF, just send me a message and I’ll happily flick one through.

And if reading this made someone come to mind, I’d love it if you shared it with them.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported me, trusted me to work alongside you, referred people my way, or simply encouraged me along the journey. I genuinely couldn’t do this without such an amazing community.

Thanks to NMIT for the opportunity to facilitate a CliftonStrengths workshop at the Neurodiversity & Disability Hui.

Great conversations, great questions, and wonderful feedback from both staff and students. It’s always rewarding to see people discover that success isn’t about becoming someone else, it’s about understanding and building on what you naturally do best and who you already are👍🙌

I’d like to introduce our newest member to the team, Pickles. Pickles is working towards her "Canine Good Citizen" qualification to work as a support dog; she works closely with her co-coach, Luke, to deliver animal-assisted learning interventions for clients.

Pickles' approach to coaching is to be patient and non-judgemental whilst sitting at your feet or on your lap to help reduce stress and anxiety and elevate your mood, especially when you're going through something challenging. She's a kind, gentle soul who would love to come on a growth journey with you.
