ok at long last here is the photo fro our mini reunion ,the new face is my fella andy. it was such a shame we didnt have longer to chat.

i am delighted to add a photo of me and other coaches as adrian seems to have had the monopoly on photos.

good news is today i have secured 1.5 days per week with oldham college helping the develop their career academy, it gives me the chance to use my coaching skills with 16 to 19 old wanting to further a career in financial services, use my business development and project management skills to bring new establishments into the programme to mentor the students and help the college set up a fool proof process to followo what more could a girl ask for !! I am chuffed to bits.

Great News from Una

Dear All

Just to up date you and share my excellent news. I am now permanently employed ( on a job share basis 3 days a week) at the BBC. This involves jointly managing an internal career coaching service primarily supporting the many BBC staff presently taking redundancy ( mostly voluntary). My role involves coaching, managing and developing the service and providing a whole raft of workshops ( trainer or coach led) to clients.
I am very happy about this new begining . I started three weeks ago and I am loving it. Of course I am coaching clients who are dealing with and facing big changes . For some their whole career has been at the BBC. It is both challenging and rewarding work.
I would like to take this moment to thank all of you, once again, for our week spent in Dublin and the many things I learn't from each of you in that time.
Take very good care and go gently
Unax

PS I am reading ' Transitions' By William Bridges ( the first in a series on the subject). It is one of the most revealing books I have ever read. It explains so clearly the difference between external change and internal transition. For those of you not yet familiar with it I highly recommend it for yourself and your clients.
