Hello I'm Pen

• 19 years experience coaching + mentoring (pre qualification) within large organisations in a managerial / leadership capacity.

• ILM Level 7 & EMCC EIA Diploma for executive and senior level coaches and mentors (globally recognised masters level equivalent qualification with the ILM).

• I work to the Global Code of Ethics (the Code, third version, 2021), which is the most comprehensive code of ethics for those working in the world of coaching, mentoring, and supervision.  

• 50 years lived experience of AuDHD, (late diagnosed).

Yes, I offer both in-person and virtual coaching sessions to accommodate the needs and preferences of my clients. For in-person sessions, I am based near Reading, Berkshire, England.

• We will meet via Microsoft Teams / in person and ease into the session gently to orientate you to the space and the work we are about to do.

• Every session is forward looking, person-centered (about you), action focused (your actions, the good work part) and unique to your experience and goals.  

• There may be a semi structure to our sessions, or it may be quite fluid, it depends very much on what you'd like to gain and take away from that session.

• If you haven't had coaching before, it won't be long before you'll  look forward to the space I create for you, and the level of listening I will afford you, something we rarely encounter in the day to day rush and transactional nature of our busy lives (if you are interested in knowing more about the levels of listening, search up Stephen Covey's theory of listening, fascinating stuff!).

• I  will use a range of modalities, visualisations and questions to empower and enable you to access the beliefs, values, thoughts and behaviours which run like a script below the surface. 

• I will echo back / hold up a mirror to what I have observed (with your permission). This is powerful and where many of the transformational moments happen, since we are often not aware of these scripts.

• We will always end a session agreeing the actions you will take between the current and next session, and you will leave feeling resourced, present and ready to move on with the rest of your your day.

The frequency of coaching sessions depends on your goals, your preferred time line and our availability.  Typically we will meet weekly or bi-weekly to enable you to get traction and momentum, however we can leave it longer between sessions if you have a longer term goal.
