For Individuals
1. Life Coaching
What is it? Coaching is a process designed to facilitate the enhancement of life experience and personal growth — helping you move closer to where you envisage yourself in the future. During the coaching process, the client is the expert and has the answers in terms of which path to take and how to move forward. As your coach, I help unlock your potential to bring clarity, empowerment and self-belief.
The Challenge Most people have a trusted friend, colleague or family member to turn to when important life decisions, challenges or thoughts need to be shared. But sometimes support from a more objective person is what's needed — someone who listens without agenda and helps you find your own way forward.
Support Available I have experience coaching individuals from 10 to 60 years old. If you feel a coach might be the missing piece to help you find clarity and move forward, I'd love to hear from you.

2. Resilience Coaching — Individual
What is it? Resilience has become a word we're all hearing more often. Most people define it as 'sticking at something' or being able to 'deal with tough situations.' My simple definition is Advancing Despite Adversity — because resilience isn't just about getting through hard times, it's about continuing to move forward in spite of them.
The Challenge There is strong evidence that anxiety levels are rising, especially amongst young people around the world. As anxiety increases, resilience decreases. While producing resilient young people is often written into the vision and mission of schools, the concept is rarely broken down into individual skills where specific goals can be set and progress measured.
Support Available I am an accredited Resilience Coach (CReC). Resilience building can be our sole focus, or it can be combined with life coaching — the client leads, and I support you to achieve your outcomes.

PR6 Resilience Assessment and personalised debrief
Follow-up coaching sessions tailored to your goals
3. Executive Function Coaching
What is it? Executive Functions are a set of skills that act as the brain's 'management system.' They include:
Planning and Prioritising
Working Memory
Cognitive Flexibility
Self-Regulation
Organisation and Time Management
Most adults won't be experts in all of these, and growing numbers of young people are struggling with one or more in school and daily life.
The Challenge Students and young adults struggling with executive function skills can face significant challenges: difficulty controlling emotions, adapting to change, high stress levels and academic underachievement. Without targeted support, these challenges can compound over time.
There is meaningful overlap between executive function development and The PR6 Resilience Framework — which assesses and builds resilience across six domains. While not a specific executive function assessment, the PR6 will identify clear strengths and focus areas for improvement.

4. Student Transition Coaching
What is it? Transitions — from secondary to senior school, school to university, or university to the working world — are some of the most significant moments in a young person's life. Proactive resilience and life coaching during these periods helps students build the skills and confidence they need to step into what's next.
Support Available Drawing on both life coaching and resilience coaching, I work with students to understand their strengths, identify challenges ahead and build a toolkit that prepares them before the transition, not just after it has happened.

For Teams/Organisations
1. Resilience Coaching — Teams & Organisations
What is it? Resilience is not just an individual capability — it's an organisational one. My simple definition is Advancing Despite Adversity. Individuals and organisations that are resilient are known for being strong and agile, and for dealing with setbacks and challenges effectively — not just surviving them, but continuing to grow through them.
The Challenge According to McKinsey, organisational resilience is crucial — not just for surviving shocks, but for thriving, as it allows organisations to outperform peers by 10% or more during downturns and recovery. Key challenges include managing complex interconnected systems, navigating change, employee turnover and burnout. Despite many organisations listing resilience as a target, the concept is rarely broken down into individual skills where specific goals can be set and progress measured.
Support Available As an accredited Resilience Coach (CReC), I assess your teams, identify focus areas and work with you to build resilience over time — with clear goals, timelines and measurable outcomes.
Whats Included;
Discovery call
PR6 Resilience Assessment (individual and group) and debrief
Follow-up coaching sessions
Accountability check-ins and progress reviews
2. Staff Training & Professional Development
What is it? Are you looking for meaningful ways to invest in your people? Many organisations are finding it harder to retain staff — and aren't sure how to address this. One powerful way is to ensure your team feels valued, and to invest in their development both professionally and personally.
Step Ahead Coaching works with schools and businesses to build a resilient workforce. We all know how critical staff wellbeing is — but few organisations offer specific, evidence-based resilience training that produces lasting change.
The Challenge Wellbeing programmes are implemented to enhance employee physical, mental and emotional health — driving higher productivity and engagement. They reduce absenteeism and improve retention. But to create a truly sustainable, high-performing workforce, organisations need a programme grounded in measurable outcomes, not just good intentions.
Support Available I work with your organisation to design and deliver tailored staff training that ensures your people understand their current resilience levels and — critically — how they can be built over time.

3. Information Workshops
What is it? Our information workshops unpack resilience — equipping individuals and groups with the knowledge, skills and understanding to advance despite adversity. Workshops are tailored to meet the needs of different groups and are delivered both face to face and online.
These are best for:
Schools, businesses and community groups looking to raise awareness
Leadership teams preparing for periods of change
Groups who want a practical, accessible introduction to resilience
What you walk away with:
A clear, shared understanding of what resilience actually is
Awareness of your own resilience profile and strengths
Practical tools to apply straight away
A foundation for deeper coaching or development work if needed
4. Wellbeing Programs
What is it? If your organisation is looking to either enhance current wellbeing practices or begin a new initiative, the PR6 Resilience Assessment could be exactly what you need. It is an evidence-based, scientifically validated assessment designed to measure resilience across 6 key domains.
The PR6 can be used with students from 14 years old, teachers, parents and back-office teams alike. It is a versatile tool that any organisation can benefit from — it is not limited to the education sector.
The Challenge Organisations implement wellbeing programmes to enhance employee physical, mental and emotional health — and rightly so. These initiatives reduce absenteeism, lower costs and improve retention by fostering a culture where people feel valued. But to create a truly sustainable, high-performing workforce, wellbeing needs to be grounded in measurable, evidence-based practice.

THE TOOL BEHIND THE WORK
THE PR6 RESILIENCE FRAMEWORK
The PR6 is a science-based framework that measures six capacities proven to drive adaptability, wellbeing and performance. Rather than stopping at personality or engagement, it measures capacity — the active systems that determine how people recover, adapt and stay clear under pressure.
The Six Domains: Vision · Composure · Reasoning · Health · Tenacity · Collaboration
Each domain strengthens the others — creating a system of readiness that scales from individuals to entire organisations.
Each participant receives a comprehensive, actionable report that sets out:
Resilience strengths — domains that can be leaned into to support resilience capacity
Focus areas — what can be developed to most effectively build personal and team ability
