Charity Coaching & Mentoring

I didn't know what to expect or what coaching would achieve, but it was great to have one-to-one focussed time with Bethany and find practical and logical solutions to ongoing work-related issues. I would never have thought of how to tackle particular challenges without Bethany's help, and for that I am very grateful. I am now passing on her advice to other team members!

Principal Medical Director, Touch Independent Medical Education

Stepping up into an executive leadership role for an interim period I knew I wanted to get the most from the opportunity but also take the experience to develop my own self-reflection and build confidence, I needed a coach! and thankfully I found Bethany.

Bethany brought structure, clarity, and fun to our sessions; I set achievable goals thanks to Bethany's challenge and reality-checking. She teased out all the hidden skills learned over many years linking them to successes I had moved on from to rebuild confidence and self-reflection.

Bethany gave me the space to challenge my own thinking and confirm my solutions, gave me frameworks to explore what I wanted to achieve from this new experience at work and how to balance it all.

I can honestly say this has been a most rewarding and valuable time spent with Bethany and I know I will be coming back at the next work chapter moment.

I can't recommend Bethany highly enough, coaching can feel daunting but with Bethany, it's a breeze - Thank you.

I always feel really inspired, motivated and excited about life after a coaching session with Bethany. She gives me really great ideas, food for thought and nuggets of wisdom that I hadn't previously considered or expected to discuss on the call. I've really gained a lot of value from our sessions (and beyond) as she's also sent me great resources to get stuck into after the session as well. I always learn a lot and look forward to the next session! I really recommend coaching with Bethany!

Coaching with Bethany has picked me up off the floor and given me a good dusting off. I felt an incredible sense of trust that I was in the right hands. Bethany provided wonderful support to me while empowering me to look deeper behind my assumptions to unlock my potential.

I now feel so motivated, which is something I really needed. I can honestly say Coaching with Bethany has changed my life! I have been able to clearly see what is not working in my life, have the confidence to change it and move forward into a more positive and fulfilled life. I’m telling everyone I know that they should have coaching with Bethany!

Founder of Taking Flight & Executive Director at Fio

I sort coaching because I found myself at a crossroads with my career and felt stuck in knowing what I wanted to do next. Bethany's fulfilment programme really helped me unpick what I wanted out of my career and gave me tools and advice on how to help my journey along. In each session we set actions to work towards achieving my goals and Bethany held me accountable for these which I really needed.

For years I'd had ideas on what I would maybe want to do but never gave myself the time to put these ideas into action, Bethany gave me a structure to be able to put these into motion. Since starting the programme I have completed over half of my 2022 career goals and have been offered a new role!

Thanks to Bethany I now know my worth and how I can be an asset to organisations. I have already recommended Awen to many of my friends and colleagues and I will continue to do so as Bethany’s programme is excellently developed and working with Bethany has been a pleasure. Thank you for everything Bethany, I'm very grateful for all your help and support.

I enjoy and value the coaching sessions with Bethany and they have now become an important part of my personal tool kit. Access to a confidential space where I can build the skills I need to navigate my work and personal life has been so positive!

I feel more confident, calm, and far better able to cope with and respond to the challenges I face. I no longer feel like an imposter in my job! I love the way that Bethany gently guides our discussions, often leading me to a range of realisations and 'light bulb' moments that I probably would never have discovered without her. Thank you, Bethany!

Fundraising Manager, Welsh Women’s Aid

Coaching with Bethany has been brilliant. It's a breath of fresh air to have dedicated time and space to think about goals and where my business is going, unpick any day-to-day problems or worries and find solutions. Bethany's suggestions are always insightful and help me look at things in a different way, and every session seems to include multiple lightbulb moments!

Trusts Fundraising Consultant

I sought coaching because I was in need of digging myself out of a hole. Bethany guided me out of the depths of darkness and confusion in my job. This allowed me to step aside from my feelings and state of being overwhelmed to address pressing issues. Bethany did a great job making me feel comfortable with sharing issues and feelings about the work that I was doing. She worked to make sure that I felt validated in what was concerning me.

Bethany supported me during sessions by allowing me to dump all my thoughts and concerns into a pile and then very carefully prioritise and make them more manageable to work on. Bethany helped me consider my priorities at my job so that I could create appropriate goals suitable for my capacity. Bethany put structure into my very disorganised way of life and managed to help me sort out the main overarching issues so that I could make appropriate decisions and move forward.

Bethany did an excellent job of reflective listening! Though I was a bit rambling in explaining the issues I was working on, Bethany was able to understand, and clearly and succinctly summarise my ramblings in a very eloquent way. I insist she follows me to work and translates my daily ramblings to others in the same succinct and effective way.

Bethany made sure that my action items were doable, which helped me to see them as achievable, and in turn, startable. I find overly complicated tasks are easier to push off until another time.

In the end, sorting the chaos was the number one goal, and Bethany did fab.

Jody Haskin
Executive Director, International Organization for Adolescents

I entered into coaching with Bethany at a very difficult time for me. Bethany provided wonderful support through a tough transitional period. My life has changed drastically for the better, with her warmth, compassion, and positivity throughout the process.

Bethany has given me the skills and confidence to change my life through understanding my values and enabling me to move forward into a more fulfilling and positive life. I am so grateful to have been given the opportunity to be coached by Bethany and work through so much to understand better who I am.

Working with Bethany has changed my life, and I will tell all my friends who are unhappy in their life to have coaching sessions with Bethany. Thank you so much.

I'm so thankful for being introduced to Bethany, she has well and truly quashed any scepticism I had about the power of coaching! Now I'm a strong believer that everyone would benefit from time with her, she has really helped me to adopt a much healthier and rewarding mindset around my work–life balance.

Throughout my career in med comms and now independent med ed (maybe even before then!) I've had burnout tendencies largely due to crippling self-doubt and imposter syndrome. Thanks to Bethany's tailored approach with regular, friendly check-ins that incorporate helpful self-reflection activities and setting purposeful goals/intentions, she has helped me to be more aware and take very positive steps to build my self-confidence and arm me with strategies that enable me to feel more in control and more resilient in general, and (most importantly!) within well-defined work–life boundaries.

Whatever stage you are in your career, if you're looking to make positive changes in your professional and personal life, I can vouch for Bethany being the best support in helping you to achieve your aspirations.

Thank you, Bethany, you know how much I appreciate your wonderful work!

Coaching has been a transformative experience for me, both personally and professionally. Seeking to declutter my thoughts and focus my attention, I have been enriched with valuable insights during our sessions. Reviewing our notes between sessions, I've realised the significant progress I've made—it has exceeded my expectations. I wholeheartedly endorse coaching as an essential personal investment for my well-being and development. Thanks to coaching, I am now confident in articulating the mission of my foundation when discussing potential funders.

Bethany's coaching expertise is commendable. Her skilful approach allowed me to clear my thoughts of the micro and focus on the macro. Bethany is patient and has a box of tricks to guide me beyond the conversation. Following coaching with Bethany, I feel reassured that I am achieving the goals I set for myself and for others. My biggest takeaway is that I now feel more confident in my role as founder and director of my foundation. Through practical tips and strategies, I've learned to find a balance between my busy career and personal life.

Bethany's character and coaching methods make you stop and think about what you're actually achieving. People doing good in the world often neglect to reflect on the work they're doing, but everyone can benefit from having a coach at some point on the journey.
