Coaching is a form of development whereby a coach supports a client in achieving a specific personal or professional goal. It is present and future focused, if differs from mentoring as it’s about clients finding their own answers as opposed to advice alone. How does it work? In our structured sessions, generally 4-5 works for most: · Clients identify their key personal or professional goals. · Supported to create actions to meet goals that fit with their own values and lifestyle by encouraging in a non-judgemental way. What can I gain from our Coaching sessions? · A reflective space. · Clarity on your direction. · Become ‘unstuck’. · Tackle that feeling of being overwhelmed. · Achieve balance. · Feel empowered. · Techniques to achieve calm. · Accountability to take action, achieve your goals, and create the life you want.

SPOTLIGHT ON: Carer Tasha Perry from Bluebird Care Life as a Care Worker It was caring for an elderly relative which first made mum of two, Tasha, consider retraining as a carer four years ago. When she started with Evesham based Bluebird Care, Tasha was provided with all the initial training and is able to work part-time flexible hours which fit around her family. A call can last anything from half an hour to up to two and half hours depending on the customer’s care package. “It’s all about providing that personal touch, so I’ll be helping the customer get up and about, make them a cup of tea, get them their breakfast, tidy up and chat to them about how they are.” Tackling the ‘embarrassment factor’ Depending on a customer’s needs, there might also be some personal care which can be anything from helping them wash to applying cream or administering medication. While sometimes a sensitive subject, Tasha is quick to tackle it head on. “I just say ‘don’t be embarrassed’. We always encourage our customers to be as independent as possible – but equally if they do need more help, we’re there to make that side of things as comfortable as possible.” Providing reassurance Tasha particularly enjoys getting to know her customers and their interests. She will also often find herself providing reassurance, especially if the person is feeling down. “I will always find time to take a moment out to let them know that they’re not alone. It’s a pleasure to hold their hand and lift their spirits – to be a shoulder to lean on when they need it.” There is also paperwork to complete, although the company is shortly moving over onto a secure electronic system which will see her logging and checking everything via a smartphone. “The new system looks fantastic; it’ll allow me to tick off tasks and ultimately leave me with more time to spend with the customer, which can only be a good thing.” Tasha works different hours on different days to suit her family life and the needs of customers and she enjoys being able to switch roles from ‘carer’ to ‘mum’. LOCAL HEROS “I adore my job and what I always say to new carers when I’m shadowing them is this: ‘If you care for our customers the same way as you would your own family, then you can’t go wrong’. That’s what I do. I put 100 per cent in, and I get so much back.” Do you have what it takes to be a carer?
