Coaching and mentoring

Before I started working with Lisa I was aggressive, disobedient and I’d jump to conclusions. Now I'm a more logical thinker and I listen to what other people say. I pay a lot more attention in lessons now.

Coaching sessions are highly engaging conversations with a purpose; to help the client to work out what they want and then work out how they’ll achieve it. At Lisa Read Coaching we like to make sure coaching is an enjoyable, effective way to succeed.

Mentoring is used within coaching sessions with young people where needed to support positive outcomes.
