I would certainly recommend this process. Having never had coaching before I have found that I have really benefitted from having someone completely objective to talk to. Ingrid was very supportive and non judgemental from the very start. When the circumstances of my work situation changed she was responsive and asked for additional sessions which have been absolutely vital. My confidence levels and my sense of self belief have definitely improved, thanks to our sessions together. Thank you Ingrid.

Found this experience helpful and my coach was friendly, approachable and gave good tips on dealing with certain areas of my work that I struggle with.

I really enjoyed my time with Ellen, she was very helpful and made you feel very comfortable in the process! Thank you!

Having been sign posted to the Know You More platform by a more senior colleague I found it incredibly easy to sign up and the communication from the system and my assigned coach was excellent. I didn't only get what i expected from the coaching process - I got so much more and believe this will have a positive impact on all aspects of my life both professional and personal. Thank You.

My coaching experience has offered me the opportunity to explore professional and personal experiences in a psychologically safe environment. The impact of two, two hour sessions has been extremely powerful and rewarding.

Structured but flexible & friendly coaching that helped me increase my time on task, set clear boundaries between work and personal life, and see patterns in myself I otherwise wouldn't have!

Louise was brilliant. It was like having my very own Jiminy Cricket. She always asked me the right questions and supported me to discover the best way forward for me. I respected her thorough knowledge of education and leadership. Her warm manner helped me feel I could be open and honest. Louise's suggestions of further CLPL to support my specific needs and goals have been very useful too. I appreciate that I now have clear action points moving forwards to put my learning into practice. Highly recommended!

I had the opportunity through work to access a couple of taster coaching sessions. With the last couple of years in the NHS being as tough as you can imagine I jumped at this opportunity. It seemed my life outside of "work" was also becoming fast paced, with an upcoming house move, career examinations looming and general bits and bobs that life inevitably throws your way. So why not speak to someone about how I can manage this effectively and in a way that was positive and healthy.

I had two sessions with Kay Young. She was so brilliant. I came away from my sessions with exercises and techniques to improve my confidence and esteem - with the aim that I can tackle lives challenges with the belief that I can achieve them. Which for me, is vital for a sustainable and happy quality to my life.

This opportunity has opened my eyes to the benefits of having someone with the correct tools and appropriate "advice" . And in the future I can guarantee I will continue my journey with coaching / counselling / psychotherapy.

Thank you Kay for listening x

Response to my request for coaching was fast and well orglanised

My coach Lynn was amazing. She made me feel at ease straight away. She gave me tips on how to build my confidence at work after a long period of absence, and how to challenge my thought processes and beliefs. I have already recommended the coaching to my colleagues.

A very supportive experience that allowed me a safe space to explore my leadership skills and next steps on a 1:1 basis. Great to have dedicated time to stop, talk and think with an experienced coach. Thank you.

I found the 1:1 coaching extremely helpful at a time where I was questioning my career and whether I was right for my job role, especially since I was still quite new in my role. My coach Sarah was very supportive and the sessions helped me reflect and view things from a different perspective and take ownership of my behaviours and choices and make important changes within my practice. I have always wanted to help and support people, but I was doing it in a way where I was taking on far too much and not supporting or empowering them in their challenges. I am now more confident and mindful in my practice and see every challenge as an opportunity instead of a problem. I have enjoyed coaching so much I am now reading more about it and looking for ways I can continue in my professional and self-development journey.
I would highly recommend this programme to fellow colleagues.

I found the experience insightful and has made an amazing difference. I has helped me to take ownership of my own behaviour and make meaningful change.
My coach was supportive and helped me reflect and identify realistic goals. Hope l can keep it up!

Experiencing Coaching in a safe space,

The Know You More Team is full of people that want to make a difference in the world, starting with what they do best, providing opportunities for people to either develop their coaching skills or be coached by a team of professionals that share similar values.

The coaching came at the perfect time for me when I was still relatively new in role. My coach was incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. It really helped me focus and supported me on working through the way forward

Being part of the KYM community is a fabulous experience. I have been part of so many exciting coaching conversations! For me the social enterprise model of KYM is really important and I have welcomed the opportunity to give something back through pro-bono sessions and have thoroughly enjoyed coaching a number of young people in different sectors to those I would normally reach.
The CPD and supervision opportunities provided by KYM are fabulous and whenever I have a question there is always a quick and helpful response. As well as being a Coach with KYM I have also used KYM to provide coaching within my organisation - being a client has been an easy experience and I'd highly recommend it to others!

I didn't realise I needed this experience as much as I did until I took part in it. My sessions with Anne, my assigned coach, were so helpful. They created the space I needed to reflect on my experiences and look for solutions where necessary. Both on a personal and professional level. The methods and strategies we used were ideal for replicating with the rest of my school team. As a result, I continue to seek and engage in coaching opportunities and conversations.

I completed my coaching qualification with them and honestly one of the best experiences. Every person involved in the organisation is so amazing and people centred. I have learned so much from them and am inspired by the people.

I wasn't sure what to expect but I am greatly pleased with my sessions and the outcomes achieved. The time I spent with my assigned coach, Jo, was high quality and extremely important to my professional development. She helped me reflect on my desired outcomes and provided ideas and suggestions to help work toward them. I ended up implementing a couple of her suggestions beyond my immediate relationships to my wider team so I'm thrilled it had a knock on effect. Every manager needs a coach from time to time in their career and I am extremely pleased we were offered this service as resource.

I have never used coaching before but saw the NES advert offering sessions for staff and felt this might help me move forward with career decisions at a time when there were significant changes about to happen in my working life.
The sessions really helped me focus in on what was important for me, my wellbeing and helped me plan some practical steps to work towards my goals.
Having someone external and neutral help me talk through my options was also really valuable. The time allocated felt about right and the coach herself was fantastic.
I would use this service again if required and would highly recommend to others.
