I empower men and women to create positive change in their lives, whether this be in their career, their relationships or in their own personal growth. I do this by coaching clients one on one, or in small groups, exploring areas such as Values, Boundaries, Self Awareness and Confidence. In June 2021, I became an accredited Youth and Education Coach. Coaching is so powerful for teenagers and young adults, from school right up to university and beyond, in providing them with a time and space to explore what's going on in their life as well as the tools to handle life's challenges. I am thrilled to be also working as Lead Facilitator for The Juno Project, a charity that runs workshops in schools for Y9, Y10 and Y11 young women who are struggling with life's challenges and whose behaviour may be impacting their schooling. My life's goal is to help create a world where people do not feel that they have to dim their light so that others can shine.After graduating from Durham University with a BA (Hons) Combined Arts, I went on to work in teaching, training, marketing and media research. I hold a Diploma in Transformational Coaching from Animas and also am an accredited Youth and Education Coach (Animas)More importantly I have life experience in being stuck, wondering who I am, divorce, being the sandwich generation, parenting teenagers, dating after divorce, and all the other stuff that comes with being unarmed in the no-man's-land that is midlife. When I'm not dodging life's bullets, I love creative writing as it allows me to live life vicariously through my characters. I also love running, dancing and red wine, although not always at the same time. I'm not sure if I'm an introvert extrovert or an extrovert introvert, but I can feel overwhelmed by places that are too peopley and I can be the life and soul of the party, but only until 9pm. Solitude is my sanctuary, where I recharge my batteries and reconnect with my inner peace. With myself, not by myself. My life's good - it's not perfect but it's real. I certainly haven't got it all figured out, but when life throws me a challenge, I can handle it with the tools I've learned through coaching and personal growth. I would love to share my coaching approach with you, and get you to the other side of whatever challenge you're facing.www.ruthgregorycoaching.co.uk
