COACHING STYLE AND APPROACH

Mandy’s coaching is grounded in recognising the infinite potential within her clients. She works quickly and calmly to uncover what may be getting in their way, whether that be a mental model, a physical impediment, or something within their broader system. She actively listens for limiting beliefs and narratives, helping client’s “re-author” their stories to live as the resourceful, whole, and powerful individuals they truly are. Her clients benefit from:

• New perspectives and fresh insights

• A calm and steady presence that fosters clarity and spacious thinking

• A non-judgmental, truly listening ear

• Practical, down-to-earth, and solutions-focused coaching
