Autumn is here – what would you like to develop, create, strengthen or change?
For some of us, autumn feels like finally. For others, more like oh no, already?
I hope summer gave you something you needed – rest, laughter, people you enjoy being with, new thoughts, or perhaps simply a little more breathing room between all the musts.
And yes, there can be something comforting about returning to everyday life and familiar routines. But perhaps we do not need to return to all the old routines.
Summer has already shaken up the calendar a little. So we might as well stop and ask:
What do I want to carry forward – and what do I need to do differently?
We live in a time when it is easy to feel overwhelmed. By the news. By change. By AI and everything we are supposed to understand. By demands, pace and people who do not always think, feel or act the way we do.
We cannot influence everything.
But we can influence more than we sometimes think.
How we lead ourselves.
How we meet others.
How we build relationships.
How we communicate when things become difficult.
How we lead people and organisations through change.
And how much of the good around us we choose to contribute ourselves.
Positivity is contagious. So are courage, curiosity and care.
So perhaps autumn is not the time to automatically fall back into old patterns.
Perhaps it is a good opportunity to strengthen what already works, change what needs changing and create something new where it is needed.
And that can begin in different places.
What would you like to develop?
I want to develop my leadership, self-leadership and relationships →
For you if you want to understand both yourself and others better, communicate and lead more clearly, and build relationships that last – even when life is busy, expectations are high and people are different.
Read more / Get in touch
I want to develop my team / our organisation →
For organisations, teams and leaders who want to move from good intentions and fine words into everyday practice: stronger collaboration, better communication, courageous leadership and a workplace culture that can genuinely be seen and felt.
Read more / Book a meeting
I would like support with my own development or a change →
For you if you are at a crossroads, want to move forward in your working life, are considering your next career step or simply want to create a change in your life.
Coaching gives you a professional and confidential space to think, challenge old patterns and find your own way forward.
Life Coaching | Executive & Business Coaching | Career Coaching
I want to train as a coach or continue developing as a coach →
For you if you want to learn professional coaching, bring a coaching mindset into your leadership – or continue growing as an already trained coach.
From ICF Level 1 and ACC to Mentor Coaching for ACC, PCC and MCC – and continued professional development for those who simply want to become even better at the craft of coaching.
And what about us? Of course, we keep developing too.
Working with the development of people, leaders and coaches also means that we need to remain curious, keep learning and continue challenging our own expertise.
Over the summer, we have continued our own professional development.
Tom has earned his ICF Mentor Coach Specializations at ACC and PCC level, and Christine at ACC, PCC and MCC level.
And autumn may include a little of this too …
As the evenings grow darker, I find myself looking forward to curling up in the corner of the sofa with a cup of tea and revisiting a few old favourites.
Not because I have forgotten what is in them – but because we read with new eyes when we ourselves have changed.
Leadership. Relationships. Motivation and SDI. Coaching. Conflict. Rising strong when life gets tough.
Same books.
New thoughts. New questions. New aha moments.
Perhaps that is one of the beautiful things about development – we are never really finished.
So what would you like to develop, create, strengthen or change this autumn?
Warm and colourful autumn greetings,
Christine & Tom
