Today I had the pleasure of co-delivering with the amazing Rose Sellman-Leava for CIC.

Amazing to be teaming up with Rose was the first time for an in-person delivery. But what made it even better was the quality of conversations, with 36 year 10 students from Bridge Learning Campus, Bristol.

The students are training to become Peer Mentors for Year 8 Students, and we were exploring how they can use coaching skills to better support their peers. It's a brilliant program they have set up, and the Year 8 students are going to be in very capable hands. Of course, we will be offering some mentoring and supervision to support the young mentors too.

If your school is interested in peer mentoring or coaching skills for students, or transition year students we’d love to chat.

What an excellent morning delivering part of CIC recently CPD Accredited Introduction to Coaching Skills to Teachers at Dublin. The team were very engaged and interested to gain new skills in Coaching.

It was a brilliant morning discussing:
👉 What is coaching and how it differs from mentoring
👉 The importance of active listening
👉 The power of silence
👉 How to use open, curious questions effectively

The teachers were completely engaged and took a lot out of the coaching practice activities.

I also loved the discussions at the end around how the teachers could integrate their new skills and understanding of coaching within their day to day lives, both in the classroom and beyond. From how they could better each other and their students as individuals. Also adapting their teaching styles and how they assess and feedback to their students.

📩 To find out more about how the Coaching Skills training could support your school or organisation, please message me to arrange a call.

It is always great breaking the routine and exploring something different.

Today's office with a view! 🏖

I've always been drawn to the sea, using it in many analogies within coaching. 🌊

Although the view and sound are occasionally [very] distracting. It is great for the soul!

Adding to the fun was catching up with Ed Lowe, a former teacher, rugby coach, team mate and all round great guy. Great to hear all about your new adventure in Portugal.

Also excited for a few days of working and planning with and .life, talking all things & Educators Coaching Academy !

And maybe a cheeky surf squeezed in somewhere! 🏄‍♂️

If you could take your "office" anywhere, where would it be?

Having made a lot of great new connections over the last few months, I thought it was time for a re-introduction!

I do try to reach out to everyone who I connect with, but if I missed you, please do feel free to reach out and say hello! 👋

Here are a few things you should know about me…
👉️ I am a Professional Certified Coach, accredited by the International Coaching Federation.
👉️ I made a slow transition from Teaching into Coaching.
👉️ Last year was my first full year FULLY self-employed.
👉️ I am passionate about supporting people and my main mission in life is to have a positive impact on as many lives as possible.
👉️ I moved to Ireland this year to set up a new life about 6 months ago.

How do I support people through ?
💁 I empower people to take back control of their work/life balance.
💁 I support people to manage stress to become happier in their lives.
💁 I help people to figure out their workload to ensure they remain fulfilled in their roles.

So far I have set two main challenges for myself this year.
To walk 100km in one continuous effort from London to Brighton🚶‍♂️
Complete an ‘Olympic’ length Triathlon 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️🥵

Who knows what else I’ll end up setting myself this year!? 🤷‍♂️

What is a challenge you have for the year?

📨If you could resonate when any of those challenges I mentioned DM me to find out more about how coaching could support you.

🔮Are you crystal clear on your goals for 2024? … Is anyone? Those that have coaching are!

The Time to Talk Coachathon is a great opportunity for you to not only raise money and awareness for MIND this winter, but to kick off 2024 with the energy and direction you need to make it a year you’ll be proud of.

Every year, 1 in 4 people will have experienced a mental health problem. Through the Time to Talk Coachathon (from February 1st 2024) we are raising money for MIND so that they can reach more people than ever.

You can donate to this worthy cause in exchange for a coaching session with a professional coach. Donation is at your discretion (*minimum of £10), and 100% of the proceeds will go to the charity MIND.

In a nutshell, coaching can help you to:
🫵Gain clarity on goals or challenges you are facing
🫵Reduce stress, anxiety and overwhelm
🫵Feel truly listened to
🫵Find a better balance in life
🫵And in this instance - support a great cause!

Do you struggle knowing where to start or getting motivated to set for the New Year?

That used to be me! 🙈

🫸I’d see lot’s of posts about setting goals and creating a vision for how this year was going to be “THE BEST ONE YET!”

🫸I’d love the idea of it and want to get involved but wouldn’t have a clue where to begin!

But in 2020 I put a stop to that! I had a few conversations with some brilliant coaches, and who shared what Vision Boards meant to them and how they did them.

I used those conversations as inspiration to start my own vision board. In 2021 I created my first vision board and used it as guidance for the year to work towards some goals.

In 2022 I repeated the process and ran a short workshop for others to get some ideas of how to get started with a vision board.

A few things I noticed from running this workshop:
👌It was fun doing it in a small group
👌We (as a group) felt more accountable to setting some aspirational goals
👌I felt more drive to achieve the goals
👌I had a physical poster which I put up and looked at on a regular basis throughout the year

💥Having a constant visual reminder helped me to stay on track with many of my goals and I believe helped me to have a more focused and successful year.

🫵Would you like some support in getting started?
🫵Do you like the idea of accountability for your goals in 2024?
🫵Would a visual reminder of your goals help you stay on track?

🚀If so, follow this link to register for the FREE 2024 Vision Board Session on Tuesday 9th January at 6pm.

Writing Posts on Social Media used to petrify me!

Why?

👉️Fear of Judgement on myself from others…
👉️Feeling like an imposter…
👉️Who am I to be giving advice and suggestions?
👉️What would people think of what I’m posting?
👉️Who cares what I have to say?

But then something shifted!

💥I got coaching from Cristina to support me in shifting my mindset
👈️I stopped making it about me
🚀Realising the potential impact I could have shifted something in my body
🦋It calmed the butterflies in my stomach
🪫Shifting my awareness from nervous to excited energy.

Did you know that the chemicals and hormones in our body which are created when we are nervous are IDENTICAL to when we feel excited. The difference is simply how our brain perceives them.

I always believed that if one person benefits from anything I post, then the post is worthwhile.

My aim now is to focus on the potential impact rather than possible perceived judgements - But this is a muscle which has to be applied continuously in order to continue growing and developing.

💫That is my goal starting off this year, to build consistency in my posting.

Is there something you’d like to do this year but feel petrified?
Do you feel stuck or unable to start a goal of yours?

If yes, and you are determined to make a change right now. And you don’t want to put it off any longer.

💜I am offering a limited number of FREE coaching sessions in the next couple of weeks.

If you are interested DM me for more details.

🤔 It's come to that time of year when people reflect in the year they've had....

For me, I think it's fair to say it's been a turbulent one. Amazing for so many reasons, and yet possibly one of the toughest years for so many other reasons.

Definitely not sunshine 🌞 and rainbows 🌈the whole time, some of which I'm still trying figure out the learning and positives. And yet, still SO much to be thankful for!

❤️ My first full year completely self-employed
🩷 A successful year of business growth and development
💚 Setting up a new life in a new country
💙 Some amazing business opportunities and collaborations with some wonderful people
💜 Making so many new incredible connections

Far too many people to tag and name! But, if we have connected, interacted or worked together this year, then thank you!

🙏Whether this year has been a year to remember, or a year to get through. I just wanted to wish every single one of you a restful, peaceful festive break!

What was your highlight or greatest challenge you overcome this year?
