Charlie Lyons - Connect In

Connect In exists to support parents to be well & grow

Becoming a parent and being a parent is one of life's greatest challenges!

We all have hopes, dreams, and desires for ourselves, as well as for our families. Yet once we become parents, the experience can be challenging and overwhelming at times. Dealing with the daily juggling, searching for a work-life balance, not losing sight of our dreams and managing our energy for the often-turbulent journey is not an easy task.

In these times we can disconnect and lose sight of what’s most important. Our wellbeing gets effected, we forget to take care of ourselves, we feel stuck and stop growing.

Being well….

When we become parents, our wellbeing is greatly impacted for many reasons. Being a parent requires a great deal of energy and attention. That has to come from somewhere and when we are not taking care of ourselves our supplies & reserves get depleted.

Well-being is so much more than a yoga session or a mediation practice it’s about valuing ourselves.

It’s about understanding all elements of wellbeing and self-care is only ever one small part. We have greater wellbeing when we:

Are connected with our own purpose in life

When we know what we value most

When we own our own power

When we manage our energy in a way that fuels & nourishes us

When we are growing & learning

Well-being is not a constant it requires daily care and attention

So, we can grow….

Once we are well, we are fuelled & energised for the journey of growth. And growth means different things to us all depending on our circumstances and what’s important to us. Your growth might be:

Reconnecting with yourself & rediscovering what you value most.

Creating a new vision for yourself & your family

Developing your relationship & communication with yourself & those around you

Rediscovering your own purpose & meaning

Returning to work

Discovering a new relationship with work

Managing a transition or growing at work

Stepping into something new!

When we as parents are well & growing, we are fully connected & can sing from our souls!

About me:

The common thread through my whole career has been supporting people with their own journey of growth & development. And this each and every time is an utter privilege.

I believe that having a solid companion for a journey of growth is a necessity and as human beings we are no meant to do our growth alone!

I believe each journey is unique, sacred, special and requires both compassion & challenge. I limit the number of clients I take on so as I can always provide the support, care and holding that’s so very important.

Bio:

For over 20 years, I’ve been working in the world of training, development and coaching. I started in the field of education and habilitation, working with children with motor disorders to develop their independence and achieve their potential.

This led me to work in adult learning and development, where I trained and supported people in leadership and management, interpersonal communication, team dynamics and self-development.

I trained as an Integral & Generative coach and entered the area of learning and development in a deeper way.

I’m a qualified Integral and Generative coach and hold a professional coaching credential with the International coaching federation (ICF). I am also a qualified NLP practitioner and hold a qualification for coaching with the Enneagram.
