Access free coaching through the YFLN

As part of the YFLN learning and support offer, 1:1 coaching is available. You can access up to 3 sessions completely free and use them whenever you like.

What is coaching?

Coaching is a reflective space, where a coach helps you to think through your context and to help you gain more clarity on how to move forward. The job of a coach is to listen attentively and to ask effective questions to help you do your own thinking. In this way, it is different to mentoring where you might get advice or expertise. You can bring a range of topics to a coaching session, and at the start of the session the Coach will help you identify your goal for the session(s): where you’d like to get to by the end of the conversation.

Coaching might be for you if:

You’re feeling stuck in an area of your work and want to work out how to move forward
You would love a chance to think through an aspect of your work with someone outside your team or organisation
You want some space to reflect on your work For example, you might want to build your confidence in a particular area of work, be having challenges with someone in your team, or want to think about what you have learnt from a piece of work you have led or taken part in.

Who will you be coached by?

We have 3 coaches on the YFLN team, Kate and Julia, who run the network, and Girda, who is a collaborator we work with. All of us are trained coaches who coach regularly 1:1 and in groups. We know there is demand from within the YFLN from some people who want to work specifically with a coach who is a person of colour. We are keen to meet this need, and work closely with Girda to provide this support to the network.
