Here's my 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣4️⃣ LinkedIn Rewind 2024: A year of profound rhythm, where personal and professional growth danced together in ways I never expected. This year felt like a complex choreography - sometimes smooth, sometimes stumbling, always moving with intention. Some pivotal oppourtunities that shaped my journey: ❇️ Joining Integrity Coaching Ltd: More than a role, this was an opportunity to amplify conversations about diversity, equity, and accessibility. "I chose Integrity because I want to have more important discussions about diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility - particularly about race." The work isn't just professional; it's personal. ❇️ Mentoring & Supervising over 50 coaches: From guiding new coaches to find their rhythm to supporting exsisting coaches to deepen their practice. Each coach I work with represents a m voice in the coaching community. It is an honour and privilege for me develop these voices. "Now go well and do good 😁" ❇️ Supporting over 70 individuals embrace their Neurodiverse identity: Working with Thriving Autistic CLG continues to be a meaningful and motivating part of my portfolio of work. Supporting newly identified Autistic and ADHD adults to understand their neurodiverse identity is such a privilege. Shout out to all my TA colleagues who are doing the same and particular mention to Tara O'Donnell-Killen for her commitment to the TA vision. ❇️ Navigating Loss through Ritual: In accepting my mother's physical absence, I discovered deeper connections. "As I come to accept the loss of the physical - exploring and growing the energetic connection with her is my main focus." Grief, like coaching, is about transformation. Grief has been my teacher this year. Professional milestones this year included: ✴️ becoming an associate Functional Fluency International - FFI Trainer & Facilitator ✴️ earning an EMCC Global Senior Practitioner accreditation ✴️ being appointed Associate Coach at Integrity Coaching Ltd These aren't just titles - they're pathways to deeper understanding and impact in my work - pathways I’m so grateful for. Looking ahead to 2025, I will be focusing on 5 things: 1️⃣ Offering neuro-affirmative awareness coach training with Jayne Morris MCC at Balanceology 2️⃣ Expanding my DEIA work generally and via Integrity Coaching Ltd & Thriving Autistic CLG 3️⃣ Relaunching Becoming you - new website, new offerings and a podcast coming soon 😍 4️⃣ RETREATS! RETREATS! RETREATS! 2025 will see me facilitate more retreats then any other year as I refocus my work on group work over 1:1 individual work. The dance continues, with each step more intentional, more connected. To my clients, trainees and colleagues: Thank you for dancing alongside me, for trusting me to support you to choreograph your way forward. #LinkedInRewind #2024Wrapped

For those of you who know me - you’ll know I’m a BIG fan of 🌕 Functional Fluency 🌕 Recently a client asked me why do you love this model so much❓ This was a really useful question as it prompted me to examine why I use it and promote it to the extent I do. 1️⃣ Firstly, it’s because it has made a big impact on me personally. Functional Fluency has enabled me to understand my own and others behaviour in a way that previously I didn’t. As a multi neurodivergent person - the idea of frameworks for understanding self and others is really appealing. This is also why I love TA more broadly. 2️⃣ Secondly, FF is apart of TA theory - a psychology that I have been immersed in for the last ten years. FF for me is like the shop window for TA. It’s inviting, well designed and it has something for everyone. 3️⃣ Finally, I have yet to find a flaw with FF - as a framework it seems to be flexible enough to be effective in all sorts of contexts - I find this REALLY appealing. So when you see me talking about FF I’m not just GOLD washing because it’s something I’ve bought into - I really believe in what it has to offer and I’m excited to share that with others so they can thrive too! 🌕 Stay Golden Folks 🌕 .

Happy Holidays from all of us at Becoming You! As the day unfolds, we hope you find moments of connection, joy, and peace. Whether you’re surrounded by loved ones or taking quiet time for yourself, may this season remind you of the beauty in small, meaningful moments. Thank you for being part of our journey this year. Here’s to a holiday filled with warmth, reflection, and love. 🌟

A Time for Connection, Not Perfection🎄 Amid the hustle and bustle of the next couple weeks, it’s easy to get caught up in making everything “just right.” But true holiday magic isn’t about perfect meals or flawless decorations—it’s about genuine connection. Here are 3 ways to foster deeper intimacy and connection this season: 1️⃣ Ask open-ended questions: Instead of small talk, try, "What’s something that brought you joy this year?” 2️⃣ Be present: Put away distractions like your phone and truly listen to your loved ones. 3️⃣ Create shared moments:*Bake cookies together, watch a favourite movie, or take a winter walk. This season, let’s focus on creating memories that matter. 🌟 💬 What’s your favourite way to connect with loved ones at this time of year? Share below—we’d love to hear! #HolidayConnection #MindfulHolidays #SeasonOfJoy

Happy Winter Solstice! As the world holds its breath and the longest night draws near, we at Becoming you wish you all a very joyous Winter Solstice. May this time of introspection and renewal bring you peace, wisdom, and a deep connection to the natural world. Embrace the stillness, honour the darkness, and prepare for the reawakening of light.

The ultimate goal of TA? Autonomy Autonomy is when we use our clear thinking 💡, integrated with our authentic feelings, and take action to get what we want whilst not being ruled by past experiences. How do we get there? Berne said that autonomy is achieved through the recovery of 3 capacities: 1️⃣ Spontaneity: Respond to situations by authentically expressing one’s feelings and embracing your creativity. 🎉 2️⃣ Awareness: Be present in the moment. Notice your thoughts, feelings, and how they influence your actions. To live in the here and now. 3️⃣ Intimacy: Build healthy, genuine connections through the willingness to seek connection and closeness to others. 👫 By recovering these 3 capacities, you can break free 💥 from unhealthy patterns and live a more fulfilling life! We invite you to follow @becoming_you__ as we share more about TA and the work that we do using this approach. #transactionalanalysis #tatheory #Autonomy #spontaneity #intimacy #awareness
