Sally Bernham, Idyia Coaching And Development

Profile

Are you ready to make changes in your personal or work life?

Do you want to take stock, take control and take action to transform your life?

Idyia Coaching and Development works with both individuals and organisations to design and achieve lasting positive change. 

Always professional, results focused and flexible, Sally Bernham, Idyia's Director is committed to supporting and motivating you to transform your ideas into results.

The foundation of Sally's coaching is based on positive psychology and a sound understanding of your signature strengths through the use of a profile which identifies your strengths and talents and the extent to which you use them.

Idyia's ethos is to work in partnership with clients, to really listen in order to be able to identify together the best approach to achieve clearly identified outcomes.

Sally says, 'My expertise is based on experience, excellent training and many years spent supporting the development of others - professionally as a teacher, lecturer and head of staff development and my empathy comes from having experienced success, challenge and setback both professionally and personally. As someone who has delivered, commissioned and experienced coaching and other development activities, I understand the power and impact of excellent, focused support as well as the need for value for money, effective, pragmatic services which produce lasting results.

What do my clients say?

• That I have a warmth and empathy that makes it easy to talk to me and an insight that leads me to ask questions that will challenge your thinking and help you to better understand yourself and your situation. 

• That my commitment to their success makes my coaching seem like a real partnership while my focus on their goals and consistent support motivates them to make changes. 

• That I am there to celebrate their success and to help them learn from setbacks. 

My focus is your success and enhanced performance. My life is an on-going journey of discovery, development and growth and it is always a joy and privilege to work with others in a coaching relationship to help them define and articulate their goals and share a part of their journey to success.

Fees

I operate a differentiated fee rate for private and corporate clients and a vareity of different packages are available to suit individual needs. 

Coaching is a a relationship and my approach is one of partnership so it is vital that we feel we can work productively together. I always offer a free 'chemistry and contracting' session where we can meet, get to know each other, establish what you want to work on through coaching and how we will work together.

I usually suggest a minimum of four sessions to ensure that you can reap maximum benefit from the sessions. How many sessions you will need will depend, of course, on what you want to work on and your commitment.  

Coaching sessions can be face to face, by telephone or using video technology such as Skype. In between sessions contact is available by email. 

Coaching is an investment that can have a remarkable and lasting effect on improving your personal and professional life. Something has started you on this journey of development by bringing you here so take the next step and ring me to have a confidential, no obligation chat.

If I am not able to take your call, please leave a message and I will return your call as soon as I am able.
