Life Coaching Workshops - Outdoors or Online

Wokingham, 03

Life Coaching Workshops - Outdoors or Online

An affordable and sociable way to experience the benefits of life coaching... and give yourself a bit of you time!

 - Are you feeling stuck or frustrated with your career and/or with aspects of your wider life?
 - Would you like to understand more about what you need to feel happy, motivated or fulfilled?
 - Do you feel you never have enough time, you keep putting things off, or you're always doing things for others?
 - Do you want to set yourself goals that you actually feel motivated to work on?

I'll be hosting a series of group coaching workshops, some outdoors (while walking!) and some online, to help you tackle some of these challenges.

Each event will focus on a specific topic, (e.g. goal setting, understanding what really matters to you, procrastination, fear, time management... and more). It will include powerful self-reflection exercises and discussion topics, to enable you to leave with achievable actions you feel motivated to work on.

What is coaching?
Coaching is a powerful way to support you to bring positive change to your life and be more you. A coach doesn't give you advice or tell you what to do. Instead they help you to:
- listen to and understand yourself better
- set yourself meaningful goals
- identify and tackle what's getting in your way
- build confidence and motivation to take action

Who am I?
I am a qualified coach, based in Wokingham. I am passionate about helping people get unstuck and find fulfilment in their career and wider life. I am also a big nature lover and advocate of the power of walking - hence why I host some of my group workshops outdoors!
I also work with clients on a 1 to 1 basis, but love working with groups and bringing life coaching to a wider audience.

Nature has captivating trails that not only rejuvenate the body but also lift the spirit. We invite you to join us for a series of exhilarating walking and hiking adventures, where you can forge new friendships and share exhilarating experiences amidst the stunning Chilterns.

Picture lush green landscapes, the melody of birdsong, and the tranquil whisper of the breeze guiding you along trails less travelled. Each step brings fresh discoveries, be it a hidden glade, a sparkling stream, or a panoramic viewpoint that takes your breath away. Our adventure doesn’t stop at hiking! We’ve curated a collection of events designed for both fitness enthusiasts and leisure seekers alike. Whether you're looking to camp under the stars, practice your downward dog in a peaceful meadow, or find your centre through mindfulness meditation – we have it all ready for you. Connect with like-minded individuals who share a passion for the outdoors and a zest for life. And for those of you with furry companions, rest assured! Dogs are always welcome, making these trips not just a chance for a delightful hike but also a wonderful opportunity for your four-legged friends to frolic and explore alongside you. So lace up your walking boots, grab your pals (or come and make new ones!), and let’s make memories in nature’s playground. With lots of new routes and exciting events on the calendar, adventure awaits you – all while the happy hormones work their magic.

Thames Valley IVC

Reading, 03

Thames Valley IVC

Friendly Multi-Activity Social Club

We are a friendly multi-activity club that organises a range of social, cultural, leisure and sporting activities. Most of our members are graduates, professionals and like minded people living the Reading, Berkshire, and surrounding areas.

Wide Range of Activities

As well as pub evenings & meals out, there are BBQs & parties, theatre & cinema trips, skittles & ten pin bowling, walks & cycle rides. We have also organised music evenings & play readings, museum & country house visits, glow worm hunts, a balloon flight, and visit to Go Ape (a high wire adventure course).

Run by our Members

We are run by our members for our members, who are encouraged to take part in organising events. If you join you can organise the type of events that you would like to take part in, either something you enjoy already or perhaps something new that you would like to try for the first time.

Part of a Nationwide Association of IVCs

Thames Valley IVC is part of the Association of Inter-Varsity Clubs (aIVC), a nationwide association of about 40 similar clubs with around 4000 members across the UK. If you join our club you can go away on national events organised by other IVCs, such as holidays abroad, weekends away, or just day events. We also organise joint events with some of our neighbouring IVCs and share events with each other.

Welcoming New Members

Anyone over 18 who would like to meet new people and make new friends in a relaxed social club atmosphere is welcome to join. If you are wondering if you would fit in then the easiest way to find out is to join up and come along to an event to see what the club is like.

Joining the club

Thames Valley IVC is a well established social club, and we created this Meetup group to make it easier for people to find us and join the club. At most events we ask non-members to make a small contribution to the running of the club (e.g. £2). However after they been to a few events, and got to know us, people can apply to become full members of the club and pay an annual fee of £12 instead of paying for individual events.

To find out more about Thames Valley IVC go to our main website http://www.tvivc.org.uk .
