Who Is It For?
The people we work with are current and recent NHS managers across Shropshire and the surrounding counties. They are experienced leaders who have spent years steering services, teams and decisions, and they now find themselves at a turning point. Whether they’ve taken voluntary redundancy or are still waiting to hear whether their post survives, they are standing at the edge of something new, even if it doesn’t always feel that way yet.
That in-between stage can feel very unsettling. The purpose, the pace and the daily connection with colleagues that used to structure a working life aren’t there in the same way, and it’s easy to feel unmoored. But underneath the restlessness is a real hunger for purpose, direction, and for people to share the journey with. It’s often a clearer sign of readiness than it feels like at the time.
Left too long, that in-between stage can quietly drain confidence and momentum, which is exactly why so many people choose not to navigate it alone. As a former GP and NHS manager with over 20 years’ experience as a coach, I’ve walked this same terrain myself, and I know how much faster and further you move when you have the right company for the journey.
That’s what the Coaching Lunch Club is built for. It brings together a small group of people who understand exactly what you’re going through, in a confidential space built on mutual respect and a proven coaching approach, to help you get clear on what you actually want, with a practical plan for getting there. Every month, you’ll join a 90-minute group coaching session with 6–8 people, over a light lunch, to explore and plan what’s next. You can start with Session 1, a free taster, where you’ll experience the Action Learning Process for yourself with no commitment beyond showing up.
