Does a Woman need a Sponsor rather than a Mentor?
Sponsorship for Women
Formal and informal mentoring relationships exist in many organisations. Within these mentoring relationships the mentor may take many roles: being a role model, a sounding board, helping build networks and career support, sometimes simply being there to listen and challenge.

So in this blog I wanted to share a few “Mindfulness” coaching ideas that I use as a coach when I am working with my own clients: Continue reading
Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT)

It uses mindfulness and your values to support you to live a rich, full and meaningful life and to support you in managing your daily stresses. Continue reading
