What I do. - Wendy Steele

What I Do

I can offer Life Coaching, Business Coaching, Business Mentoring, SEN Consultancy, SEN Coaching SEN Mentoring OR an organic combination of all the above!

I’m a flexible, versatile and adaptable coach, to suit the needs of my clients.

Business Coaching

Do you feel like you’re not good enough? Nagging negative inner voices that just won’t shut up! Does this stop you being your authentic self in meetings, public speaking, networking, winning contracts and achieving your goals at work, in your career or in your own business? Taming that negative voice inside YOU and turning it into your cheerleader can have amazing results.

These issues get even more condensed as a SME, solo, self-employed, co-founder, family business, Small Ltd Company or SME business leader, working from home in isolation or feeling isolated within the workplace.

Finding clarity, planning priorities, consistent support and accountability, learning to focus at just the right time on the right thing can be a game changer. Having a coach to hold some of those thoughts safe until its time to get on with them can clear room in your mindset to focus on the priorities. Dealing with one hurdle at a time until the race is won. Reminding you that you are not alone and you don’t have to deal with all the decisions on shoulders alone.

I’ve been working for myself since 2007 and before that had varied roles within a wide range of organisations, running departments and organising others. Since gaining my Coaching and Mentoring qualifications I have been using my experience in business to help you and your business THRIVE, in a way that keeps your needs at the heart of everything you do.

SEN Coaching

I’m a single mum to a high needs (x8 Diagnosis) SEN adopted child. The last 10 years have been a rollercoaster! I’ve experienced EHCP SEN tribunals, the benefits system, divorce, CPV (child to parent violence), the LA adoptive service, CAMHS, LA Social services, personal budgets and everything in between that Somerset had to chuck at us. I’ve done so may courses and initiatives I’ve lost count! When social workers started asking me to advise other parents, I thought enough is enough! I need to use EVERYTHING I’ve learnt to help parents and families navigate the local SEN world BETTER.

SO now…
I help other SEN parents fight overwhelm, navigate the EHCP system, master their mindset and rebuild resilience to regain control and empower them with the skills to THRIVE and come out of survival mode.

We’ll deal with the:

• Frustration

• Anger

• Endless chasing emails

• Paperwork

• EHCP content

• Analysis Professional reports

• Tackle that overwhelm.

• Give you space to think and breathe again

• Make a practical plan to deal with the objectives!

And we’ll do it all together. I will walk alongside you until the job is done. Having an empathetic, experienced ear to listen to you is only the start of my service as your SEN EHCP consultant. I give your practical, moral and emotional support and accountability. I will cut to the heart of what needs to be tackled and make a plan of action. Let’s smash through limbo and find a way forward that works for you.

Every family I work with is different so do get in touch for a free a chat and lets see if I can help you achieve your goal.

Balance For life

Balance for Life coaching has the empowerment of my clients at its very heart. It’s important to me that my clients have those breakthrough moments, rediscover the joy, the feeling of authenticity in their own skin and a stronger, more resilient self-awareness & self-belief in themself.

Coaching frees you up to see clarity in your WANTS and DESIRES and connect to the WHY you do WHAT you do. I give you full support, structure and accountability all the way. It can be an intense journey so I make sure you are not alone and I hold that safe space for you to look at your situation honestly and without judgement or blame.

As a working single mum of a Special needs adopted child (SEN) with 8 diagnosis and entrepreneur I have faced the overwhelm and tested my resilience to its limits. I will help you change your perspective to see your purpose. Stop dreaming about a better life & make it happen – retake control and put the possible back into impossible. Self-limiting beliefs often hold us back from achieving our full potential, but they don’t have to. What would it feel like to have your best year yet? Once we define what success looks like to you then we retrograde an action plan and start at the beginning and then its just a matter of sticking to it to achieve those goals. With full support from your coach, it is POSSIBLE.

I believe if you don’t have joy in WHAT you do, you’ll disconnect to WHY you started it in the first place. I help you reconnect, reenergise and reignite that passion spark so you can achieve new heights in a sustainable and authentic way for YOU.

It's been great to have someone to motivate and support me in talking through how I want to develop my career, what I want to achieve in my working life and helping me work through the issues I face along the way.

Wendy has been so easy to work with. She has got to the heart of the issues really quickly and has shown great flexibility to respond to whatever I throw at her each week.

I would highly recommend Wendy for coaching. She helps you to see the wood from the trees and leads your thoughts to a place where you can progress and move on.

Wendy has given me the confidence to know that what I'm doing is in the right direction. She has helped point me towards different services that help me and my needs for my child.

Thank you for your exceptional supporting advice and guidance on my SEN issue. It was a pleasure to have you mentoring me. I was surviving and after sessions with you, I am now thriving.
