This time last year, I’d been ‘unemployed’ for 4 months. I was only a few months into my diploma & had no real idea of where I’d end up.

A year later and Emma Yentis Coaching had lead me to:

• My own private coaching
• Flourished Minds as an associate coach
• Minds Ahead as a Learning & Development Specialist Coach
• Avicenna Foundation as a Scholar Coach
• Aktiva as a Staff Training Facilitator
• First Give as a Charity Programme Facilitator
• Tassomai as a PSHE Specialist delivering online webinars & writing blogs
• Young Enterprise as an Education Consultant
• Writing blog posts for multiple sources



I’m not lucky. These things haven’t just ‘come my way’.

I’ve worked hard on building my profile, sharing my information & reaching out to so many places.

I’ve cold called & emailed schools, connected to people on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, messaged old acquaintances & handed out flyers/leaflets.

I’ve been rejected & ignored by so many that I’ve lost count!

At times, it has been so hard. Some months, I hardly earned anything. People don’t tell you how hard it is to find clients. Sometimes, it is impossible to know what to do. Sometimes I just wish I had colleagues to bounce ideas off.

BUT, I’ve picked myself up and I’ve kept going.

I can safely that I’ve worked as hard as I possibly could’ve done over the last year to improve & succeed at what I set out to do.

I’ve remembered WHY I am doing what I’m doing.

This year has taught me how to be independent, how to try new things & how to go with something and if it doesn’t work, try it differently.

It’s taught me how to find alternative solutions to challenges. I’ve put myself out there & done things that I found unnatural at first.

I’ve met so many incredible people along this journey who have just been so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. A massive thank you to whoever has helped me along the way!

I’ve loved the last few months & I’m so looking forward to more exciting things to come in the new year!

Just remember to:
• keep going when it’s hard
• be patient
• keep sight of your why
