Coaching Blog Kent, London, Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks, Maidstone

As a writer I am passionate about writing and challenging the status quo and as such have been writing a coaching blog in various formats over the past years. I like to write about issues that affect us as men and women, whether at home or in the work-place. I love to shine light on the darker corners of our world with the behaviours and abuses revealed that would otherwise go unnoticed.

My experiences as a writer have resulted in me writing internationally for an on-line magazine based in Australia Great Health Guide. Also for www.Glassheel.com - Inspiration for today’s ambitious career women, and I contribute to Huffpost USA.

I am based in Tunbridge Wells and work across Kent in the towns of Sevenoaks, Maidstone, Tonbridge and on into London. Please get in touch if you would like a coaching blog for a publication. Contact me via e mail susie@thebespokecoach.com or call my mobile +447968669648.

I write today as I have changed my tagline having started this blogging and coaching challenge. So how do you realise your goal and I mine, how do we change our paths? I like to read and be challenged. A recent article by Molly Cain in Forbes.com inspired some of the following and confirmed the way coaching works for me: Creating a vision board: A great way to inspire in a coaching session. Look at where you want to go and find…

It is one of the hardest drugs to kick once you are hooked. It is a depressant. However it is advertised as something that will give you an edge; it makes you sexy, strong and brave. It makes you feel alive and that nothing is impossible. It is highly addictive to some, and it is legal. The sound of ice tumbling into a glass and liquid pouring down and over it can trip up the most resolute of character. So…

bereavement is a corporate business, corporate, corporate people development, Uncategorized

In recent days my friend’s daughter died and the complications and feelings of devastation that arose during this time have resulted in this post. I was surprised that I was affected so deeply. Even though my experience was dwarfed by the pain of the family, it affects me still. Their feelings have overwhelmed them. Their loss, like a pebble dropped in a pond, has pushed out and affected people further afield – friends and colleagues.Their ability to manage work has been severely compromised and so the…

Musings on communication. I have heard it said that the Millennials, Generation Y -those born between 1980 and 2000, have very different needs to those of the Baby boomers- born between 1946 and 1964. Apparently they are more in touch with their feelings, requiring that companies and work-place environments should be strongly ethical, green and people focused. Whereas Baby boomers thought they had it sorted, they were the revolutionary generation, THE generation, and are now, not best pleased to be…

I love this quote courtesy of the blog ‘Late Blooming Entrepreneurs.’ We are never too old to change are we? I believe we can teach an old dog new tricks (not that I am one!) And so today I enter the world of the blog to ensure that I have a great…
