What drew Bryony Rowntree to coaching? In particular, what led her to coaching women making the transition from maternity leave back into the workplace?
In this episode, originally recorded in September, 2024, I speak to coach, trainer and facilitator Bryony Rowntree. We explore Bryony’s story of parenting, living in Tanzania, working as a live-in carer, to developing expertise in safeguarding, coaching, and mental health first aid.
Bryony talks about how she was drawn to coaching, the difference she wants to make in the world, and her particular desire to support women juggling the multiple priorities of parenting, work - sometimes additionally looking after older relatives - and the need to look after themselves.
We explore the family and cultural influences on her view of the world and how these impact on her coaching practice, commitment to the safety and care of her clients, and the different perspectives she is able to draw on.
Hear stories of what it’s like to work with Bryony and the impact she has made in the life of her clients.
The podcast also explores Bryony’s strap-line - Root Deep, Stand Strong, Branch out, and join her and Geoff in with one of her guided visualisation exercises.
