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.

What we're about The Surrey Heath Ramblers ( [https://www.surreyheathramblers.org.uk/](https://www.surreyheathramblers.org.uk/) ) is a walking group based in south west Surrey and is part of The Ramblers organisation. Our walks are mainly based around Surrey and North Hampshire where we explore our wonderful countryside. We offer a variety of walks which vary from 3 miles to more strenuous walks up to 15 miles. The walks are led by experienced walks leaders who are insured. There is no charge to come on our walks, and you are welcome to come on up to 3 walks to 'try' us out. If you decide you want to continue walking with us, all we ask is that you join The Ramblers ( [https://www.ramblers.org.uk/become-a-member.aspx](https://www.ramblers.org.uk/become-a-member.aspx) ), which currently costs £36.60 per year (70p a week). Joining The Ramblers brings all the benefits of being part of the UK's largest walking organisation, with discounts available in many outdoor activity shops (e.g. Cotswold Outdoor, Millets, Mountain Warehouse) as well as the option to join other Rambler groups either locally or nationally when on holiday. Your membership fees also contributes to The Ramblers' efforts to promote walking as a healthy pastime, to campaign for access and to fight for maintained access to our rights of way. Not all our members are on Meetup, so there will be more people on walks than are shown on Meetup. For a general idea, we typically get 10-20 people on our walks. Group members who join the group but do not walk with us will be removed.

ArtFest is a not-for-profit organisation run by local artists, conceived with the intention to enhance the cultural landscape of Wokingham.

Cheers,

Mick & Connell :)

Welcome to our Over 30's Casual 5 a side Football Meetup group! We are a group of adults who are past our best but still enjoy a kick about every week. If you want no strings, friendly, casual football experience then this is the right place for you. All abilities of course welcome but we won't be playing each game like it's the FA Cup final. Games will be organised in the Farnborough / Frimley/ Camberley areas of Hampshire and Surrey. As this is a new local group, we will be playing at a local field initially. If the group expands we will look to book indoor/ outdoor pitches.

Getting together in and around Godalming to meet other people living and working in the area. Hi to all, new and long standing Godhelmians. If you see an event you like, come along. If we are your tribe, Welcome. All age groups are encouraged to join and activities cater for all. Plus the over 40s who still 'have life running through their veins' 🎶. After all, young at heart, older in other places, there isn't an age restriction on having fun. We are a lively, friendly, social group supporting local venues and events in Godalming and the surrounding areas with an occasional, far-flung jaunt to London town. Come to an event, it may be the best thing you've done for your social life. Enjoy life and make great memories. Events: Festivals, drinks evenings, comedy, meals out, sports plus a variety of other activities. Days out, knitting - oops, kidding 😁. The ethos of the group is to support local events, artists and hospitality venues.

This is a group for people who live with high functioning autism and ADHD who find it hard to socialise due to the challenges inherent in our individual conditions. We meet once a month to catch up and arrange other activities between us. We'll try to find different ways to get together in small or larger groups and enjoy activities that aren't so likely to overload the senses and if any of us do find ourselves feeling overwhelmed at any point, we'll be among like-minded and supportive friends who wont judge if you need to step out or leave early. We like to keep rules to a minimum but we do ask that: • If you would like to come to a meet then please RSVP by marking yourself as 'Coming' in the Meetup app. • If you have said that you're coming but then change your mind or can't come for any reason (no pressure or judgement). Please let us know either with a message or by changing your status to 'Not Coming' in the app so that we’re not worried about you. • If you have a photo on your profile it makes it easier to spot you when you come to your first meeting. This will save you having to try to find us. Also, although the group’s purpose is to help those in the spectrum socialise, you don’t have to have a diagnosis or even be in the spectrum to come. You can also bring a friend if you like. 🙂

**What's the purpose of the group?** Our aims are: * *To build a group of friends* * *Enjoy adventures (ie: new opportunities with cool people)* * *Pursue social good, such as through supporting local charities* We seek to be collaborative and member-led in all we do, and look forward to seeing what brilliant ideas everyone has for great events 🤩 **Who should join? 🤔** * We're chilled, don't take things too seriously, and like to have fun! * We have an age restriction. I've previously ran all-age groups and found that some older people felt excluded at events. For an all-age community, check out GFM. * We are intentionally limiting how big this group becomes, recognising that other groups fulfil this function. This group is for anyone aged 18-45 in the Guildford area (and nearby - I'm in Godalming myself!) that likes the sound of these vibes and would like to be part of the fun. We'll develop friendships, have adventures, and do social good. Basically, pubs, board games, laser quest, air hop... whatever we happen to come up with :) **What are your rules?! 📄** As users on the Meetup platform, we seek to abide by the Meetup Groups and Events Policies: [https://help.meetup.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002897712-Meetup-groups-and-events-policies](https://help.meetup.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002897712-Meetup-groups-and-events-policies) ✅ This document is pretty long, so in the words of immortal philosophers Bill and Ted: *'Be excellent unto each other'*. 🤘 **One additional rule**. Please don't direct message (DM) anyone that you don't know. This includes this app, WhatsApp and popular communication platforms such as *MySpace*, *AOL*, *MSN*, and *Bebo.* 📥 You are also forbidden from sending unsolicited carrier pigeons and/or letters in bottles. 🕊️🍼 **Help! I'm outside the age bracket and/or want a bigger group!** Check out this group: [https://www.meetup.com/guildford-friendships-events-and-activities/](https://www.meetup.com/guildford-friendships-events-and-activities/) **We are non-competitive 😊** We take a non-competitive stance towards other Meetup groups and encourage all members to take part in other groups and actively encourage their growth. Let's all support each other ✌️☮️ **How do you pay for this?! Doesn't running a Meetup cost money?!** There is no charge for this group.
