Work

We are conditioned to assume that when we have a job we should have all the answers, and are a failure if we don’t – the reality is that no-one has all the answers and the people who appear to make their work life effortless often have mentors or coaches supporting them. If you would like help with any aspect of your attitude towards work, then you’re in the right place.

MENTORING

Think you have imposter syndrome? Got a promotion or a new job and wonder how you landed it, or more to the point if you can pull it off? We all have self- doubt at times, the difference between those who seem to effortlessly navigate life and those that don’t is largely down to confidence. We can’t promise to make you confident overnight, but we can support you and give you tools to make your job easier.

Mentoring is typically offered when you start a new role but need a little extra support – not to do the job but to have a sounding board. Who does the MD/CEO turn to when they are not sure? Our mentoring service provides a level of security and support during the critical 30/60/90-day period – helping you stay on track, achieve objectives and establish your new relations. We have mentors who can help from senior managers to FTSE chairs – give us a call to find out more.

BUSINESS COACHING

There are times when you have a specific issue related to work – though often this will flow over into your life too. Unfortunately, one common issue is either work colleagues or bosses who are simply making your life miserable. It is easy to say change jobs but often this is not possible – however there are techniques which can ensure you keep your job without it making you miserable. Equally there are times when the time is right for you to make a change rather than you managing your colleague/boss.

SPACE

In today’s climate it is easy to get caught up in work and feel like you need to be on the ball 110% of the time. The problem is you can end up feeling burnt out, overwhelmed and not able to make good decisions, always checking yourself. Taking space can help – giving yourself permission to draw a breath and take stock. We shouldn’t need to be told to slow up but often we work in passive aggressive environments which send conflicting messages.

Talk to one of our consultants to see how in just a few sessions you can reclaim your sanity at work by using techniques to give you the space and confidence to work at your pace to achieve optimum results.

    “When I went to stay with Lucy I was at a point of real change in my life. I had turned 50, spent the previous three years supporting my parents through illness culminating with both passing away, and gone through the menopause. I also have two teenage boys and was working full time running my own business. As soon as I walked into Lucy’s charming house in beautiful Middleham I felt at home. Coffee in hand and perched on the sofa with a piece of cake, we started to chat - nothing too serious! Later on after a lovely lunch we went for a drive and a walk, talking in quite a casual way. It didn’t feel like ‘structured life coaching’ but like opening up to a friend. That afternoon we did sit down and it was a chance to talk about my concerns and hopes for the future. I was on the cusp of closing my own business and taking up a very senior-level role - although I had gone through a lengthy interview process to get this I was still not feeling confident. Lucy brought everything back to simple processes and techniques that I could use in my first months to build my leadership role, and I took copious notes. That night I felt a mixture of growing confidence and panic. I think it was all the old anxieties coming out and a gradual acceptance of change coming. The next day, during another amazing walk beside rippling water, I had a bit of a cry and another talk with Lucy about how I could move forward. After a final cup of tea in the sunshine I got back in my car feeling positive and up for new challenges. Lucy will continue to mentor me through weekly sessions that will give me an objective eye and constructive guidance in the first months of my new job. I’m really looking forward to it!”

    “Having left a job I loved, but which didn’t 100% fulfil me I decided to take some time out and then Covid hit. I had started looking for work but my strategy for looking for my next role was all over the place. Talking through things with Lucy helped me identify what I really wanted from my work life, especially in terms of it dovetailing with my home life. Articulating a clear plan made the search for work much easier – and less stressful. I had a direction of travel and kept to it. A few months after initially speaking I found a great role which used the skills I had acquired through a host of previous jobs AND fitted my lifestyle!”

She is a creative coach that is always seeking to inspire employees and made a critical intervention in her time at MHCLG to ensure the culture of working supported those who were experiencing personal struggles throughout the pandemic. Her experience in this sector is second-to-none.”
