Effective coaches are aware of how their presence affects their interactions with their clients. They understand how their values, beliefs and other factors affect their coaching interventions. It takes practice and skill to notice these influences, which can manifest themselves both physically and mentally, while simultaneously sustaining a client-focussed approach through the coaching session.
Coaching Presence examines how you can build self-awareness across key aspects of your coaching practice. It introduces a new model that will help you make every approach or intervention that you use with your client the result of a conscious and deliberate choice. It explores how, by paying close attention to the motivations behind the decisions you make in coaching, and to how you are 'being', you can minimise any unconscious influences and bias to produce the best outcome for your client and their wider system.

Not feeling good enough? Want to feel different about your life and learn how to feel ok?
Imposter Syndrome, excessive worrying, anxiety, people pleasing and putting the needs of others above your own is common in millions of people. If personal development and self-help books didn't work for you then you will want to read A Caged Mind. This book may evoke insights within you that have the potential to change your life. It is NOT a "how to fix yourself " or a "how to change your life in 7 days" book. It is a book of hope.

Maria Iliffe-Wood, a woman in her fifties, wanted to feel better. In her life there was an undercurrent of unease, anxiety and never feeling good enough. She spent years and thousands of pounds looking for a way to fix herself. Nothing brought her the relief she was looking for. Then a spiritual understanding changed everything. These short snapshots in time, over time, show how insights changed her life at a deep level. They show that you don’t need books on how to be happy, you need a simple understanding of how life works, to live an easier, better life.

A Caged Mind is a new kind of self-help book, where the writer takes you through their own personal experiences to show you the healing journey. Insights changed Maria’s life. Reading this book may evoke insights within you that have the potential to change yours.
