In addition to my main training design and delivery work I supported freelancers, entrepreneurs and small business owners in Bristol and Bath with a one to one personal coaching service.Freelancers and micro-entrepreneurs are more reliant that any other business type on their personal skills and effectiveness. Coaching sessions were tailored to each client's needs - e.g. goal setting, ideas generation, action planning, acquiring new skills, time management, work-life balance, productivity and motivation etc.
