Meriel Swain: Sweet Success Coaching

About me

Hello, I'm Meriel. I'm an Executive and Transformational Performance Coach living in the South Midlands, and my company is called Sweet Success Coaching. I am particularly interested in helping businesses and people move through change. I work with small, medium and large businesses at all levels, and also with small business owners and individuals who are at some sort of crossroads in their life.

Choosing the right coach for you is really important. A good coach will put you at your ease and create a trusting and safe relationship with you. In my experience, there's no substitute for a gut reaction so please take up my offer of a free and informal chat before we decide whether to continue working together.

I've had a variety of roles during the last 30 years, nearly all of them in some kind  of leadership capacity, which gave me a great opportunity to develop my coaching skills. I set up on my own in 2012 and work either on client sites or from my base as Principal Associate at Motus Training near Stratford upon Avon.

Leadership is a specialism of mine. Don't be fooled into thinking leadership is just a work-thing. Although I'll be honest that it is often where the lack of it is most obvious. A typical scenario is when you've recently been promoted, perhaps managing people for the first time, or possibly a bigger or more senior team. The question which rumbles around in our heads is "I'm not sure who I need to be?". I find that sometimes those working at Director level are still struggling with this concept.

And if you are a busy Executive who wants a trusted confidante for a regular download, listening is at the top of a Coach's list of skills. Coaching will help you discover the authentic you, and your authentic leader. We'll look at beliefs and values, identity. We'll also look at perspectives, the power of language and inspiration.

I also work as part of a team delivering bespoke Corporate Wellbeing programmes. These intertwine physical and mental wellbeing and participants sign up for a five month programme of intensive on-site coaching.

Coaching is all about you. Listening and observing, asking insightful questions which will give you those lightbulb moments. Coaching removes the obstacles or blockers, the things which hold us back, so we can be propelled forward at greater speed, straight towards our life of choice.

I work on my own and have access to other highly-skilled colleagues, whose specialisms include TimeLine Therapy, Nutrition, Fitness and Sports Coaching.

Now you've read this far, maybe you'll take the next step and give me a shout?
