One to One Time Management Coaching
There's a difference between knowing and doing
You’ve read the books, tried the latest productivity methodologies, strategies, apps or 'hacks'. Maybe you've attended numerous workshops or training sessions.
You know what you should be doing but the week gets busy, good intentions get pushed aside and you don’t always do it.
Even with the best of intentions, your best laid plans don't always stick. You find yourself slipping back into old habits or doing what's easy or reacting to whatever seems most urgent.
You’re too busy being busy. Caught up in the day-to-day, juggling priorities, working long hours and constantly trying to catch up.
You want things to change but sometimes it's hard to know where to start.
Everyone is different, which is why there's no one-size fits all solution.
How you work, your workload, your responsibilities and even how you feel from day to day can vary.
You need something that works with you, not against you.
Practical solutions that work with the reality of your working day, not another system you struggle to maintain.
And sometimes you need someone to help you work out what needs to change, help you put it into practice and keep you on track.
You have a choice
You don't need to change everything overnight. Sometimes it's about understanding how you work best and making a few practical changes. At other times, you need more support to look at what's working, what's not and change the way you work.
1:1 coaching gives you the time, space and support to make those changes.
Whether you're struggling to get organised, want to improve the way you work or just want to get back on track.

"When I needed serious help to prioritise and focus on what was really important in the business and outside it, I turned to Clare having found her on Twitter.
Clare has been brilliant at listening to my issues on a regular basis. She challenges my thinking, helps me to see things in a different way and gives me tools and structure to work with as soon as we have finished our conversations.
The result is a clear strategy in the business, short and longer term aims and help in achieving them with both business partners and staff. From a personal point of view, I am able to distinguish between work and personal time to enjoy the family and do things I want to do.
If you want confidence and clarity in what you do, then Clare is the ideal person to help." [S Robinson - Financial Planner]
"Clare is a truly exceptional person with a wonderful balance between empathic listening and directed guidance. I have enjoyed weekly sessions with Clare for the last 6 months and every week she adds something to the way that I look at and run my business. The bottom line is that every penny spent with Clare has already been returned several times over. If you genuinely want to get someone to help you sort out your business and move it forward, Clare is the person to get on board." [A Moran - Business Owner & Financial Planner]
"Clare has really helped me assess the way I manage myself, my business and my time by really listening to my individual issues and working with me to come up with solutions that are bespoke to me. I am now more confident in dealing with challenges that can arise and my business is really moving forward. I would definetely recommend Clare to help you see the wood for the trees!" [A Clements - Business Owner]
"Working together with Clare we have shared and developed many tools, techniques and tricks that help me keep on top of my very varied and busy workload. Clare is expert in her field, excellent to work with and has become a trusted mentor and friend." [M Saunders - Senior Partner, Accountant]
Time Management & Productivity Workshops
Helping people make better use of their time at work
Too much to do, competing priorities, constant interruptions and never enough time to get everything done.
Sound familiar?
Whether you're managing a team, running a business or supporting people who are struggling with their workload, better time management isn't simply about getting more done.
It's about making better choices about what needs doing, when and how.
My workshops and training sessions are practical, interactive and designed around the real challenges people face in their working day.
We'll explore what's getting in the way, what needs to change and the strategies and habits that can make a difference.
No complicated systems or one-size-fits-all solutions.
Just practical ideas, useful tools and simple changes people can start putting into practice straight away.
I've also provided course content for online skills platforms and organisations such as Understanding ModernGov(opens in new tab), SkillBoosters (now VinciWorks(opens in new tab)) and MBL Seminars(opens in new tab).

Testimonials
"The session prompted honest self-reflection when it came to managing distractions, protecting focus, and maintaining boundaries. This level of engagement created a valuable space for reflection and practical learning." [LSEG]
"I had the privilege of meeting Clare at a recent workshop she delivered through the B&H Chamber. My office environment can be fast paced, with a team full of ideas and 'not enough hours' to achieve them, so I was struggling to make the best use of my time as well as being an effective leader.
Clare helped me identify the tasks I should (and shouldn't!) be undertaking, along with developing the skills to delegate effectively to others with confidence - and how to get results.
I found the experience extremely valuable for me and my company, and look forward to working with Clare again. I have her 'Time Management For Dummies' book ready to hand, and have already seen an increase in productivity and morale boosted, both personally and within my team. Many thanks." [D Ash]
"I attended at Time Management session with Clare where she was our facilitator. The session was highly liberating. The content was great - she allowed an large and ideal amount of time within the session for discussion as topics were raised. As she had prepared her time well, she didn’t have to force her content upon us but guided us through it - with ample time to guide and hear the room." [N Davis]
"We had the pleasure of spending a day with Clare while she led a small group session on time management.
She had that most important of qualities - she was generous. She spent time listening to each person, adapting the content to the way the conversation flowed, and using her coaching ability to help each individual get clarity on their next steps.
In contrast to most productivity workshops, she moved beyond task management and went into matters of energy, clarity, and the tangible next steps.
She did not prescribe a system of time management, but rather instilled a series of short, memorable principles and questions that have certainly affected myself, and many from the group.
I would work with her again, and heartily recommend her to you." [S Gould]
"I had the pleasure of attending one of Clare's excellent sessions when she visited Devon. Clare clarified things for me, helped me sort out my priorities and gave me some simple and straight forward tactics to make sure that work doesn't get on top of me." [M Young]
