🌟How about a little Sunday morning trivia to get you going?🌟

🤔Q. What do you get when you cross a highly experienced science educator 🔬⚗️🔭with knowledge, understanding and real world application (over 2000h of individual and group support!😮‍💨) of coaching and mentoring methodologies?

A. A subject-specialist who:
⚡️Can and will develop and support your academic progress, whilst also being able to ‘read between the lines’ and really hear what’s at the root of academic (or other) challenges, and offer appropriate guidance and direction to get you back on track;

⚖️Will help you to set out attainable goals - academic or otherwise, challenge you and hold you accountable to what you want to achieve, in a fun, kind, compassionate and nurturing manner;

👩🏽‍🔧Has the personal and professional experience to understand the dynamic between academic progress and success, the habits, behaviours and attitudes driving these, and the support which is sometimes needed to facilitate these two areas in coming together positively;

🥳Cheerleads you from start to finish no matter where the beginning might be, helping to boost your confidence and importantly, your wellbeing, whilst you learn and strengthen your performance along the way!

🥇That sounds like a winning combination to me!

❓Got a question or like know more?

💻📞Drop me a message or give me a call. I’ll be more than happy to have a chat about my services and how we might be able to work together.

Why do I love the work I do as a coach and mentor? Because rapport building, forging connections and developing relationships are central to the trust required to successfully support every individual seeking assistance.

But don’t just take my word for it!

The longest running study into adult human development has been asking questions about the key to human happiness for almost 75 years. Take a look at the clip below to see what the findings reveal so far…✨

What keeps us happy and healthy as we go through life? If you think it's fame and money, you're not alone – but, according to psychiatrist Robert Waldinger, ...

Massive shoutout to everyone waiting on GCSE results today - GOOD LUCK! 🍀🙏🏽

Milestones like this are filled with the entire spectrum of emotions, and as a GCSE Science teacher and tutor, and youth coach and mentor, I really have seen most of it over the past 15 years!

This message from YoungMinds is a helpful one to remind us that no matter what the piece of paper reads today, this is a small step on a lifelong journey, and you are absolutely not defined by the results you attained for any subject (not today or ever)!

You’ve worked hard to get here, be proud of your achievements and importantly, acknowledge the huge efforts you made along the way to go this far - the journey is where the magic truly lies!

Remember: you are made of stardust and today is truly your day to shine your brightest. 🌟💛

A message to young people getting their GCSE results today.

🌟Wishing you all a FABULOUS FRIDAY and a wonderful weekend ahead!🌟

The weekend can be the perfect moment to rest 😴, recharge 🪫 and recalibrate 🧭 those parts of us that may have been put a little out of kilter or pushed off-balance throughout the week. Because, let’s face it - life can be demanding: whether we are at school 📚, at work 💼 or even when we’re on 🏖 holiday!

So if you have a few quiet moments to spare over the next couple of days, remember to take some time for
Y-O-U.

It can be a helpful personal check-in to ask ourselves these simple questions:

🧠Mind, how do you feel today?
🧍🏽‍♀️Body, how do you feel today?
🫀Heart, how do you feel today?

As you complete each check-in, ask the question:
—What do you need from me today?

This is a simple way to identify at least one thing that you could do to help bring a little more balance ⚖️ to each part again, allowing you to feel more energised and restored as a whole individual 🧘🏽‍♀️🧘🏻🧘🏿‍♂️. And if there’s one thing I’ve learnt through experience, it’s that when I’m feeling closer to my best self 💁🏽‍♀️, the entire world around me also takes on an incredibly positive vibe!🦄🌈

So try it out, give yourself a little TLC this weekend, and let me know what you discover in the comments. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. ☺️✨

😊 What an absolute pleasure it was to speak with OCR Examinations recently!🎙

📚As students all over the country prepare for their exams, we discussed some of the challenges of school life ahead of these assessments, and some of the ways students and young people might be better able to manage their physical and mental wellbeing over this period.⚖️

🆕 For many individuals, they will be stepping into the public testing arena for the very first time. So it is little surprise that, alongside these being the first set of 😷post-pandemic public exams, students may be feeling overwhelmed 😳, anxious 😣, stressed out 🤯 or simply unsure of how to find the motivation 🥱 to get them over that line.

This conversation is a toe-dip into just a few of the things that might help turn exam stress into exam success, and leave students feeling more calm 🧘🏽‍♂️🧘🏼‍♀️ and at ease as they prepare for and sit their GCSEs or A-levels (or beyond).

👇🏽Click the post to take a listen and share it with a student who might need a little encouragement right now.

✨And always remember: there is 🆘 help and support available no matter what the stage or state of your exam preparation right now. You’re absolutely never alone.✨

Is EQ the new IQ..?

Hi everyone! I hope you're enjoying some relaxation and rest with your close ones at this time and, as 2020 draws to a close, you have many positives to reflect on even through the haze of a global pandemic, social distancing, limited physical contact and all of the other life challenges you may have experienced this year. It's been tough at times for many of us, whilst others have found it pretty smooth sailing. Whatever your personal 2020 journey has been, I truly hope you still managed to find some magic in it all to fill you with warmth and add a smile to your dial particularly as we round out another 365-day (366!) cycle!

So: EQ and IQ...or Emotional Intelligence Quotient vs Intelligence Quotient. What's all the fuss about?

There is a huge amount of evidence supporting the notion that having an awareness and understanding of our personal interactions, how we respond to situations and people, is integral to understanding and better managing the way we personally navigate different areas of our lives. This can have a dramatic impact in our school life from early on, our careers as we track through adult life, and especially our personal relationships right from the beginning of our lives.

I agree with many of the ideas presented in this article (particularly with respect to integrating this type of learning into school curriculum), and how modelling has the ability to influence many facets of our lives. Have you ever considered WHY you think about something the way you do (and how easily someone else in your circle might be able to brush this off)? Or why you might be triggered by the actions or responses of another individual even when in reality, in the situation you might be perfectly safe and under absolutely no threat? Years of evolving as you, and by having your individual personal experiences are essentially at the root of all of this and have a hugely profound effect on how we go about our daily lives in the world. It really is mind-blowing to think that whilst we believe we have control over things, much of the time our perceptions have been so hard-wired by our lifelong experiences that it can be difficult to undo the thinking - and therefore reactions and responses - that make our experiences either fearful or exciting.

Are you CURIOUS to know more and to advance your own personal growth? Why not get in touch to see how I can help you, whether it is to improve your school outcomes, or declutter your mind to enhance your professional or personal growth. Either way, I am here to help you become more aligned with your goals whatever they may be.

I have some terrific offers available for the New Year, and let's be honest - after the events of 2020, wouldn't it be nice to just feel like you ARE in control of things for a change?

So if you've been thinking of decluttering your life to make space for the things that up until now, you've only been dreaming of achieving, there has never been a better time to set those wheels in motion!

Keep your eyes peeled over the coming days for some terrific opportunities to work together and get YOUR 2021 off to a FLYING START!

Offers will be available for:

*1:1 tailored 'Declutter your Life' personal coaching and mentoring - available to teens and adults (online)

*Small-group 'Declutter your Life' coaching and mentoring (online)

*1:1 tuition in KS3 Science, GCSE Biology and Chemistry and A-Level Biology (currently good availability - online)

*Small-group tuition in KS3 Science, GCSE Biology and Chemistry and A-Level Biology (currently good availability - online)

For more information on any of these opportunities and to chat about your personal requirements, hit the message button above! I can't wait to hear from you and I'm even more excited about working with you!

2021 - BRING IT ON!!

Who taught you how to identify and manage your emotions, how to recognize them when they arose, and how to navigate your way through them? For many adults, the answer is: No one.
