Sharon Smith, LIFE & TRANSFORMATION COACH

Face to face in Edinburgh, West Lothian, Inverness and Online

Do you find yourself stuck in life? Feeling like it is passing you by and you are no longer fulfilled or happy? We read all over the media, especially around New Year, to make resolutions, to be our authentic selves and to live our ideal lives, but how is that possible? How do you break that cycle of just existing?

I’ve had so many conversations lately with women, and they are all saying and feeling the same. The media is right in one thing - life is too short, and if you’re stuck in a situation where you are treading water, not feeling valued, or not making a difference, then you have a responsibility to yourself to act and change that.  Seek out support which can help identify your values, identify what it is you wish to change, and work out the steps to get you there. It’s only then, when truly aligned with your values, will you feel you are living your ideal life.

My empathetic approach will support you in being truly honest with yourself and help you gain clarity about what is right for you in your life. I will help build your confidence and support you to acknowledge your strengths and potential. I’ll also ‘hold your hand’ on the way, keep you on track and support you in being accountable to yourself.  

Imagine a life where you aren’t exhausted and lost, but instead excited about your future life! Oh yes! 

I hold a National Council of Integrative Psycotherapists (NCIP) professionally accredited Life Coach with NLP Diploma, which is also QLS endorsed. I am skilled in asking questions that will encourage you to dive deeper, to search your soul, so you can live your life consciously and with intention. 

I have walked that journey of misalignment, and it was through working with a coach that I realised that I needed to take control back in my own life. I realised life was just happening to me and I was dissatisfied with my lot. I was not aligned to my values, and I was extremely discontented. 

I have had a 20+year career in Scottish education, holding various roles in local authorities and nationally. I have been very proud of the work I have done, but now I serve others differently, aligned to my values and heart’s desire. 

If this is you, what will you do about it? Do you want to change, or make changes for the better? Take a look at my client testimonials to hear how I’ve made a difference in their lives – this could be you too:

“Sharon is not only the consummate professional but embodies empathy and intelligence. As a coach, she has been absolutely integral in helping me move forward in my career. She was exactly the person I needed in my corner when I had to ‘armour up’, deftly guiding me through a transitional period: not only enabling me to confront a challenging situation, but to garner enough self-belief to take the next step. I am indebted to Sharon and would not hesitate in recommending her to anyone who finds themselves at a crossroads; either fearful, conflicted, or just in need of some clarity.”   Lesley

“Having previously had a bad coaching experience I was apprehensive about putting myself through it again. Sharon immediately put me at ease and created a safe space to share and be understood. She is a very helpful, insightful coach who provided very practical and tailored ‘tools’ for me to use, based on my circumstances and personal challenges.” Lindsey

Examples of just some of the personal and professional circumstances I can help you with are: 

-Find meaning in your life if you are experiencing an ‘empty nest’

-Help you find confidence to make changes when you are unhappy at work.

-Build your confidence when seeking a new career/ job or pre - interview support.

-Make sense of who you are when encountering challenges in your relationships.

-Provide support in achieving your professional goals, whether it be getting a project off the ground, or supporting you to have difficult conversations. 

-If you are a school leader, support you to manage your work – life balance to ensure you are able to bring your best self to work and play. I can also help you consider and plan your next intentional steps in your career.

My coaching practise consists of using skilled questioning techniques and coaching activities that offer you the time and space to reflect, consider where you are, why, and what options you have to help you move forwards. Once you know what you want, and your direction of travel, we can work together to take that first step towards your new beginning.
