For this year’s National Grief Awareness Week (2nd – 8th December 2020) we have been encouraged to share our stories of grief by the Good Grief Trust, who help and support people through bereavement. In 2019, for the first time in my adult life, I experienced grief – here is my story.

Back in April, I wrote a blog on ‘The Joys of Working from Home’ and seeing as we are now nearly 8 months into the global pandemic, I thought it was time to write a follow up on if I still love working from home. The short answer is, yes.

As a member of the 2020 cohort on the Barefoot run PG Cert in Coaching Supervision, we started in typical fashion by analysing what we all understood by the term supervision. Easy you might say… it’s where a coach takes ‘stuff’ they’re finding challenging & the supervisor helps them think it through… isn’t it?

Coaching supervision has a few different functions, but one of the very best is that it helps you to develop your practice in the way you actually want it to. As a professional coach, you have to undertake a certain amount of CPD every year in order to keep up your accreditation.

My husband and I were out on a walk recently and he asked what was on my mind. I’ve recently become self-employed and at the beginning, I was buzzing but, as a little time has passed, I’ve become more introspective.

We are very pleased to announce that Barefoot Coaching CEO, Kim Morgan is now an ambassador for local charity, Women’s Work Derbyshire. In her new position, she will help to promote the award-winning charity’s work among disadvantaged and vulnerable women and children in Derbyshire.
