Elevate Coaching

Whole Human Coaching for Personal & Professional Growth

If you’ve landed here, you are already one step ahead in the improvement journey (this is a really tough step). I am glad you’re here. I am also a enthusiastic soul and a straight talker so I’m going straight in:

→ Do you lack trust in yourself?
→ Do you lack trust in your capabilities?
→ Do you make decisions, or do you find yourself giving them to someone else?
→ Do you feel good, yourself, aligned, clear headed?
→ Did your mojo get a bit, well, lost?

If you feel, deep down, that things aren’t right, be it situationally or generally, you are probably (sorry), right.

Imagine if you have a fresh perspective to help you untangle the thing you’ve turned over in your mind a thousand times? A sounding board with no judgement or agenda, to lay it all out, work out the priorities, remove the blocks and help you create a plan forward? A plan that excites, energises and motivates you? Time in your diary to do all of this AND someone to keep you motivated and accountable throughout?

Welcome to ELEVATE COACHING!

Providing expert coaching on:

  • Confidence
  • Personal Ambitions
  • Workplace Challenges & Communication
  • Navigating Leadership
  • Career Crossroads
  • Understanding ADHD
  • Health & Movement Goals

My coaching style is creative, based on neuroscience, positive psychology and NLP. I bring knowledge, empathy and ease, and I consider your central nervous system in the process.

I am passionate about helping people unpeel their layers. Alongside my coaching toolkit, I bring 19 years of corporate experience, my various life ‘adventures’, and my authentic, enthusiastic self.

I was put on the planet to do this. Let me help you!

Why Engage in Coaching?

We wouldn’t expect to improve our physical health without effort. We accept that to improve circulation, strength, fitness and wellness, there will be effort involved, a plan, and time, to set the impovements in motion.

Our brains house our mindset, right next to our experiences, emotions, internal narrative and unconscious influences. How can we expect to do this without time and effort? Like going to the gym, we must put time, investment and focus into our mindset.

A good coach will provide a non-judgemental, action-orientated sounding board for you to finish off the thoughts that are hard to conclude.

A good coach will ask powerful questions, whilst supporting and guiding your thinking and raising your awareness of your bespoke blockers.

A good coach wants you to bounce away from sessions feeling like you’ve got closer to YOU and YOUR UNIQUE WAY of moving forward.

As you’d engage a Personal Trainer, let me be your Thinking, Change & Accountabilty Partner!

Ok, what exactly will Coaching involve?

With me as your coach, we will talk, you will spill, I will ask questions, call out unhelpful themes, I will reflect things back to you for you to navigate through.

When we think in our own heads, we stop at the first gate. Coaching encourages you to wade through the mud to tackle the hard beliefs and blockers, to get you to a true conclusion.

Coaching with me feels like your brain got smarter at the thinking because we bring the whole-self into it ~ creatively replacing some ‘hardcore thinking’ with the lesser-invited ‘creative thinking’ (i.e. how humans get to the truest solutions). This looks different for every individual but it could be walking, colouring, crafting, music…

Using tools and tasks, a whole heap of experience, empathy and intuition, I am a forum for you to think-out-loud. I facilitate understanding yourself; how you learn, how you communicate, how you prefer to be communicated to, what drives, enlivens and motivates you.

Together, we’ll explore:

  • Your Strengths (what do people put your forward for in work or play?)
  • Your Passions (what would your TED Talk be on?)
  • Your Communication Style, Preferences & Needs (instantly valuable in work & life)
  • Your Joys (what makes you feel so entirely and excitedly you?)
  • Your Goals (the unconscious ones, too)
  • Your Blockers (are you even aware of some of them?)

My job is to host, guide, inspire, challenge, and support you to develop effective you-shaped strategies to confidently navigate forwards.

I will be there every step of the way for support, reminders, celebration and for keeping you accountable.

You will realise YOU ARE CAPABLE and you’ll soon realise how obvious it becomes to everyone around you, too

The Power of Nature

My recipe for thinking brilliance is movement and nature, hence my favourite coaching format, ‘Walk & Talk’!

  • Physical movement boosts circulation in our limbs and (Brain) lobes, so walking & fresh air fires up neurons in our over-thinking brains
  • Nature reduces stress levels and boosts dopamine. Yes please.
  • Nature boosts a lesser-known human-sense; proprioception (a sense of where we are in the world)
  • Walking elevates the heart rate, boosts energy and activates muscles (amongst other health benefits)
  • The informal setting, plus the removal of ourselves from our home/work stimuli, hugely facilitate expanive, free thinking

Bringing nature, walking, and coaching together gives us (literal) space, as well as permission, to think big.

We think smarter, not harder.

The result is new ideas, innovative solutions (inc sometimes really simple ones), the tangible activation plans; step by step if you need it; all elevated with an EXCITEMENT & ENERGY to achievue them! You have so much potential, let me help you get elevated >>> 

This format is entirely optional. Your session(s) must create the best thinking environment for YOU. Coffee / Cafe sessions, Video Calls and/or Zoom interactions all available. You do you, remember!

We don’t have to live close by to Walk & Talk!

We grab respective headphones and head out on respective walks for a powerful clarity-building, energy-boosting conversation. I provide a summary of actions, too, so you don’t have to. All the perks, none of the logistics!

My Coaching Style Is...

Thought-provoking: I’ll challenge your thinking and inspire new perspectives

Supportive: You’ll have a safe and nurturing space to explore your feelings and beliefs – zero judgement, a very open and inclusive forum

Immersive: I get right into your problems with you, bring an outsider’s perspective in instantly, with authenticity and empathy

Innovative: I’m a creative thinker, a simplifier, and a great problem-solver 

Empowering: I’ll equip you with the understanding, tools, and confidence to boldly wade forward into achieving your goals – I’ll help you do you.

Unique: I champion “Walk & Talk” sessions as I love to move, I love nature and my coaching clients testimonials inform how freeing this format is: escaping routine to fuel bigger thinking. (However, I adore a fresh coffee & a foliage-filled-cafe, and virtual is all good, so you choose!)

What My Clients Say

I really valued being able to walk and a talk.

I have a 1 year old so finding childcare for a sit down call would be impossible, but instead being able to walk and talk at a time when I knew the baby would be happy, allowed me to access coaching and fresh air at the same time.

All my best ideas, moments of clarity come when walking so it made sense to walk and talk rather than be distracted whilst trying to get the baby to be still…! And quiet!
