Hello. I'm back in the UK. As you can see, no snow here. Back in the UK after an absolutely amazing two weeks in the Alps. Just unbelievable. It was a birthday trip for me, and we achieved so much.

There are so many coaches and different coaching certificates that it can be challenging to decide where to go to receive quality executive coaching.
