Mariposa Coaching

Mariposa Coaching 🦋To enhance performance & wellbeing in professional/personal life using psychology approaches Coaching can help you to experience life as you ideally wish to.

Mariposa Coaching specialises in personal development, performance, interpersonal skills, improving resilience, stress management, parenting skills, relationships (including couples coaching), adhd support and well being. I am a cognitive behavioural, solution focused coach with a range of knowledge and skills taken from coaching since 2000. I enable clients to develop positive thinking in order t

o interact better with others and make changes to their lives either professionally or personally. The way we think influences how we feel, if we learn to think differently we can feel and act differently. This maybe improving the balance between home life and work, enhancing relationship skills to improve communication, having increased resilience, being more effective at reducing stress and an increased focus on wellbeing. I use theoretical models and evidenced based techniques which are tailored around individual assessment and feedback. All sessions can be customised to meet client's needs and I offer one to one coaching in both business and personal settings. I deliver workshops, details on my website, and talks in venues around Bristol and Bath and for local business and organisations. Like the butterfly 'mariposa' we all go through change that is transformative. Over a series of sessions I enable my coachees to assess where they are currently, design the outcome they would like to see, apply evidence based skills and strategies and evaluate what works. I offer private coaching, coaching at work, training and team coaching. I am a free lance trainer for Health Education England training consultants/drs in coaching and mentoring skills. I deliver wellbeing to work training for all levels of staff. I am a coach for Meningitis Now. My areas of expertise include:

- Resolving conflict and establishing better functioning relationships
- Managing stress, uncertainty and change
- Developing positive thinking, problem solving and motivation
- Improving interpersonal communication style, assertiveness, anger management, negotiation skills and personal effectiveness
- Raising self esteem, resilience, confidence and wellbeing
- Coaching, mentoring, workshop skills training

One of my roles as a coach and trainer is to deliver training in ‘reflecting and learning from feedback’ for NHS England for drs in residence and it made me think about how great the impact of feedback can be. We also can really dread feedback but there is a skill and strategies we can learn to turn this around. I have written a blog on feedback and if you would like to learn more about how to create confidence with feedback have a read!

If you would like to have tailored sessions to you and how you receive feedback at the moment, focusing on overcoming obstacles for areas that get in the way to receiving feedback and instead how you can respond well to feedback, do get in touch.

Really looking forward to delivering reflecting on and learning from feedback for today. Not only do we look at the importance of reflection we also cover how to receive feedback well especially if there’s any triggers involved and how we can use this in future with healthy conversations for receiving feedback.

Wish you could say what you mean, feel heard, get your point across and feel two way respect?

Do people really know you what you think or are you just being kind?

In for the we look at Brené Brown and her work on ‘clear is kind, unclear is unkind’ who first heard this slogan in a 12-step Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.

She undertook a 7 year study on brave leadership. This message always resonates with me and her amazing work.

We might be avoiding clarity because we think we are being kind but if we have assertiveness skills we can feel more confident to broach tricky conversations and be who we really are! I do a great deal of assertiveness training in my work. I have taken some tips that might help.

Coaching to develop your is for you! Drop me a message to get started and have a read of my blog.

Looking forward to delivering coaching and mentoring skills training today for NHS England.

We are using a person centred recognised best practice model today - Egan The Skilled Helper- to give a helpful guide along the way to our coaching and mentoring sessions. This is one of my favourite trainings. We are online but there always seems to be such an amazing an level of interest and energy in the room with this subject.

I am looking forward to delivering and skills training today online for NHS England.

This is a regular training and it’s so humbling to work with consultants who bring so much to their role. We cover psychological safety, a model of coaching and mentoring that can be transferable to arrange of specialisms and have a chance to practice skills. This is quite rare these days I think to do skills practice.

I appreciate working as we use breakout rooms, main plenary session discussion and also a variety of different methods to cover diversity in this training.

What is coaching? What is coaching that brings results and is person centred?

John Whitmore’s and ingredients for are so important. We help raise awareness- without telling or judgement and then guide the coachee to take their own responsibility for change. The coachee’s agenda is always central.

How can this help you?

Developing rapport and trust with your coach then helps you to and is a key ingredient to help you really get the most out of coaching and feel confident.

When I recently set up to deliver coaching and mentoring skills training to senior consultants I reflected on the whole process drawing on 21 years experience.

If you would like a free chat about how coaching can work for you, your family, your team or as a couple please get in touch!
