Hi dear listeners and friends,

Things are going very smoothly this month on The Coaching Panel, and we will continue this next week with our next guest Judy Reith.

When Judy became a mum in 1991, she thought being a parent would be the most natural job in the world. It was much tougher than she imagined. The hardest years were when her two children were about 3 and five – they were arguing with each other and with their parents. She read books and watched parenting programmes and talked with other mothers, but the real transformation came after attending a parenting course. She decided to train to run them herself to give as many parents as possible the opportunity to make their family life better, just as hers had been.
She has been working in parenting education since 1998 running courses in London and Cambridge having originally trained with Parent Network (now part of Parentline Plus)

She is an accredited Life Coach with Distinction from The Coaching Academy, to meet the demand for helping parents individually or as a couple. She has three children and being a Mum remains the most challenging and rewarding part of her life, and she fully understands the pressures on us as parents. She loves working with parents and seeing them flourish as they achieve their parenting goals.
She follows a professional code of Ethics, she is a Consultant for the Parenting Education and Support Forum.

How do she works?
Most of her clients are parents who see her individually, in person or by phone for coaching sessions – usually in blocks of six sessions. About 30% of her clients are working on life coaching (e.g. confidence, career, relationship issues)

Courses – She facilitates the following Parenting course:
Parenting Matters, Being A Parent, Sibling Rivalry, Living With Teenagers

Workshops – usually one off – two hours on a range of parenting topics, such as Stop Juggling – Start Living or You’re A Star! - (boosting self esteem) She runs these for private groups of parents, or in companies dedicated to supporting their working parents. She also speaks to women’s groups about the nature of her work and how she runs her business, Parenting People

Radio – She is a regular guest on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire and she has been interviewed by local and National print, radio and television journalists about parenting

Writing – Her first book Teach Yourself Motherhood (Hodders 2008) is generating plenty of new work leads. She also write columns for magazines and newsletters

Freebies – She gives a portion of her time each year to run workshops for charities working with parents, and she provides upto an hour a fortnight of free coaching time to parents who are on Income Support.

Her Passion – She loves working with parents watching them grow into confident happy parents. For her, it’s the best job in the world!
