the view from my window
work/life coaching & business skills development.
Both these activities are based on the application of Soft Skills to help you open up your options and map out a way forward in a guided conversation.
Or perhaps you’ve decided to get some input on a decision you need to make.
During our conversations we might decide to apply some Critical Thinking to give us a different perspective on the issue.
If you’re considering developing your Business Skills, you may have found my website through my weekly articles on LinkedIn in which I explore how Soft Skills can be helpful in situations which need the human touch plus a little added technique.

Coaching Now
I came to Coaching after working for several years in the Corporate Training field.
Many of the skills and experiences I gathered as a trainer were useful for our Coaching sessions, sometimes as a basis for role play and other times because the content illustrated specific situations that we were reviewing.
Bringing your experiences to life in this way can be helpful and introducing these tools into our Coaching conversation helps to pinpoint issues and cast light on your experiences.

WfH: THE PODCAST
Responding to Disruption
Of all the upheavals created by Covid 19, the most visible and perhaps the most unexpected was the overnight removal of business activity from the corporate workplace to the living rooms of its employees.
Working from Home (WfH) as it became known, happened so fast and so smoothly that there wasn’t time to weigh up the pro’s and con’s of this move…good or bad. When given the go-ahead, employees undertook the biggest upheaval to hit the world of work since the invention of the printing press…the transformation of working from home being an occasional occurrence to it becoming the norm
Our monthly podcast explores the experience of people who are taking the opportunity to make the Change which WfH made possible as meaningful and innovative as it can be
Ideas, and experiences to make WFH work for you and your family.
We support the idea of ‘All Life Learning.’ because the longer we live (and we are living longer), the more potential we have to gather and share knowledge and the experiences that come with that. A wide breadth of knowledge exposes us to a fuller range of what life has for us to explore and the deeper explore into the ‘how and why’ of our life, the more we nourish our curiosity, our sense of Being and maybe, an understanding of where we fit into it all.
