Personal Compass - Half,  full Day or two day immersive Coaching Experiences in a calm & inspiring woodland setting.

Take yourself away from the rush and responsibility of life for a moment.

Or the boredom and monotony of everyday- 'every-daying'

 

Back to yourself, with a calm clear and beautiful space in which reset. 

​

A little bit of space and time, can go a surprisingly long way in creating lasting change!

​

Personal Compass Days are all about helping you get 'reconnected' with yourself.

To feel aligned and confident in choices and next steps, in work and life. 

​

This offer is especially of value to you if:

  • You are feeling like life is moving way too fast, or things are getting all out of sorts too often.

OR

  • You're feeling a little 'meh' about the sludge of life's predictability right now. 

OR

  • You are feeling a little lost or unsure about what and where to go next. 

​

An opportunity to deep-dive into a coaching approach, for people who struggle to make regular time for themselves.

 

You are seeking a purposeful pause place (in this case a coaching session with me, JK) to help you take stock, unjumble & gain clarity.

 

To feel more yourself; confident and clear on what to tweak in life/work and how to do it. 

​

Personal Compass sessions focused spaces for: 

​

  • People who feel like their pace of life is way to chaotic and cluttered. 

OR

  • People who need the clarity of mind and attention, to create plans for a career or life choice, to bring back more alignment and confidence. 

OR

  • People who accidentally forgot to put 'me, myself and I' at the centre of life & work.

 

TOO BUSY?

Helping you reduce feelings of stress or anxiety  (and that niggling not-so-nice self talk) that come with life being too busy,  feeling a bit lost, or generally finding yourself coming backwards or no where at all!

​

Proactively helping you to embrace life and prevent long term negative impacts on health and happiness. 

 

FEELING LOST or SEEKING OPPORTUNITIES?

Gain clarity and reduce the over-whelm or confusion of decisions, in transitioning choices in your life (Like changing career, or making new life plans!) 

​

Sometimes we just need a compass to root & re-route ourselves back in the direction we want to be heading. Sometimes you need help to figure out what and how you make that happen, that's where I can help. 

​

These sessions celebrate what's already good in your life, and nurture the potential opportunities for 'even better'. A circuit breaker to help you cultivate a simply beautiful life. 

​

Imagine taking a little time and space for yourself, in the beautiful freshness of our woodland, as spring emerges around us. Guided by me JK, to support you with the courage, clarity and self-compassion to help you feel good about yourself and  make a few ‘tweaks’ to help turn ‘too busy, too much’ into ‘purposeful progress’ that fills you with a sense of satisfaction and a more grounded sense inside too. 

​​

Our standard half-day PC sessions include 3-3.5 hours* of coaching experience together, with natural breaks throughout to help you refresh and focus. 

​

Focused on personal development and well-being. Escaping the every-day hustle for a while, landing in our lovely woodland in North Yorkshire,   to reconnect with yourself, the natural world and your sense of place in the eb and flow of life!

​

At the beautiful woodland location, near Ripon North Yorkshire - you'll get to step away from your the everyday and find a moment to ground and explore new ways of being and doing. Or simply tweak a few bits here and there to help you feel less stressed and/or anxious creating more space to feel yourself again. 

​

Using the Where the Mind Grows, ‘Guiding Map’ resource, you will work with JK on up to three priority areas,  whilst connecting the dots for your bigger picture clarity.   Weaving in a range of activities that meet you where you are, and support you in getting to where you are going! 

 

Putting into action ways to balance yourself inside (beliefs/thoughts/visions/emotional regulation) and outside (Behaviours/Actions/Communication) through a self-leadership approach, explored,  understood and actioned through the coaching experience. 

​

Personal Compass Days help you focus on aligning yourself (Life/work) with your head, heart and gut - in body and mind. This is called ‘congruence’ and can help you to feel more purposeful, energised and resilient. As well as support with personal well-being strategies and effective boundary setting in work and life too. 

 

You'll leave with clear actions and intentions to make change happen.

THE PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE

About your coach (and the compass approach) 

Hi, I am JK (Jennie-Kate) McQuinn - Coach, Founder and Facilitator of Where the Mind Grows

Both my time as a leader, previously, in mental health and employment services across private and third sectors and especially since becoming a coach and facilitator for individuals and groups. 

I realised how much our lives is run, or should I say hi-jacked, by high levels of stress and anxiety.  Whilst the cause and affect looks a little different for everyone.  The level of pace and stuff in our society is a common contributing factor to these feelings of tension, pressure and the ensuing self-doubt or frustration that comes with a tired or over busy mind. 

​

Our coping strategy for survival often means we stay in fight or flight response ( along with the freeze, faint and faun strategies too) that can keep us in habits and mindsets that don't put our individual needs and well-being at the heart. 

​

We often grapple for remedies reactively, rather than setting our compass point to a destination aligned with good health and happiness at the core.  In a way that's natural and care-free - rather than yet another thing to do or try to be!

​

I personally discovered coaching techniques (founded in neuroscience and psychology)  as a powerful way of unlearning the old chaotic, hustling habits. Instead rooting new ways to be at our best. 

​

Nature formed a huge part of that experience for me personally and continues to work its magic (or should I say science) by supporting others to reach a more wholesome and re-wilded lifestyle too. In Nature, your internal nervous system -of mind and body- shift to a more relaxed way of being, totally naturally. 

 

Making space and energy for problem solving and sense-making in those moments, to create change for real long term resilience. An approach that focuses on preserving positive energy, feeling good and living more in alignment with your Self and your intentions.  

​

Through my experience as a coach, working with remarkably unique people,  I created a 'guiding map' which works with the complexity of our individual life stories and experiences. Supporting you to find everything from your 'North Star' that part that supports you to navigate your way in the darker days.  The root, to help you keep yourself connected in the razzle and dazzle of the everyday and a a range of perspectives and 'and principles to help navigate being your own 'compass' through the passage of life's wonders. 

​

The Personal Compass experience is a focused space to explore and discovery practical, pragmatic solutions. Coaching can be effective for people who see the challenge of stress and anxiety on everyday life and feel ready to explore ways to create positive change, even if you currently feel lost on how you might achieve that. 

​

Contact me today to be one of four people experiencing your way back to calm and confidence.
