What’s one of the most rewarding parts of coaching?

When a newly qualified coach comes to you for advice.

I’ve always believed in paying it forward—sharing what I’ve learned, supporting others through the tough moments, and helping them realise what they’re capable of (especially when it feels overwhelming).

Recently, Carlos reached out after completing the same ADHD coaching course I took some time ago.

He’s working remotely for a global tech company and had some great questions:

👉 How do I start building a reputation in this space?

👉 How do I position this new skill internally?

👉 How do I demonstrate the value ADHD coaching can bring?

And the questions kept coming…

Now, I don’t see myself as an “expert.” There’s always more to learn.

But over the years, I’ve built experience across critical workplace areas, developed CPD-certified workshops, and been fortunate to win awards in employment and community regeneration.

Most importantly—I’ve learned what works.

We spent an hour talking through ideas, practical steps, and potential connections he could explore.

Later, he told me the conversation gave him clarity, confidence, and momentum.

That right there? That’s why I do it.

It also got me thinking… maybe there’s a real gap in helping people implement the knowledge they’ve invested in.

Because learning something is one thing.

Turning it into action is something else entirely.

(And yes… I’ve already got ideas brewing 👀)

So I’ll leave you with this:

When was the last time you helped someone move forward?

And how did it make you feel?
