Welcome to Coaching and Motivation
Thanks for visiting the ‘About Us’ page! We are delighted that you’ve come here to find out more about who we are, what we do and why we do it!
Coaching and Motivation is a personal development and coaching company based in Devon that was created by Jonny and Emily Lawson. Emily’s background is in HR and Jonny was a teacher for nearly 20 years prior to setting up this company. Despite these very different careers we have both always been obsessed with helping people to fulfil their true potential and achieve success on their own terms and we set up this company to allow us to do just that.
Throughout our lives we have both noticed that far too many people don’t understand what they truly value and therefore set goals and, ultimately, lead lives that are based on outdated or irrelevant societal tropes about what success looks like and which are totally out of sync with who they actually are as human beings and who they desperately want to be. We are absolutely adamant that it doesn’t have to be this way. We are unwavering in our view that it is completely possible to understand what you actually value and start living in accordance we these values rather than living by other people’s values and unquestioned external definitions of ‘success’.
Our mission at Coaching and Motivation is therefore very simple:
To help you create a fulfilling and meaningful life that is deeply aligned with your own personal values and measured by your own unique definition of success.
This, we passionately believe, is the path to a truly meaningful, motivated and fulfilling life where you are making constant progress towards the person you actually want to be and become. All the positive psychology research shows that success isn’t something you will magically ‘get’ or ‘feel’ when you have reached point x in your career, hit x salary or when you have won a certain award or accolade. Instead, true success is the constant unfolding of a life lived truly aligned to who you actually want to be and is measured by your own unique and personal standards and nobody elses.
Every single thing we do here at Coaching and Motivation is, ultimately, aimed at this one overarching and powerful mission. Given our different backgrounds, training and skill sets Jonny and Emily go about this mission in very different ways but we both have this single goal in mind in all that we do. Similarly, we recognise that everyone starts in a different place when they begin to use our services so we split this overarching mission into three things which we commit to offer our clients depending on where they are currently at:
A chance to ‘pause and reflect’
Regardless of which of these three things you are currently looking for, we will always begin our journey by helping you understand what you actually value and crystalise your views regarding what success genuinely means to you as this is absolutely critical regardless of your starting point. We use a range of tools and coaching strategies to achieve this goal which will be tailored to your personal or professional needs based on where you are currently at and once we have helped you work out your values and your definition of success all our work is focussed on helping you set challenging yet achievable goals that are aligned to this vision of who you want to be and become. This, we passionately believe, is the path to a truly meaningful, motivated and fulfilling life where you are making constant progress towards the person you actually want to be and become. All the positive psychology research shows that success isn’t something you will magically ‘get’ or ‘feel’ when you have reached point x in your career, hit x salary or when you have won a certain award or accolade. Instead, true success is the constant unfolding of a life lived truly aligned to who you actually want to be and is measured by your own unique and personal standards and nobody elses.
We’d love to be part of your journey towards this type of success so please feel free to contact us at info@coachingandmotivation.co.uk to discuss how we can help you on this epic journey!
