FOR WhEN WORK
IS JUST A PART OF IT
Coaching and strategy for people juggling work,
life and the unfathomable price of cheese right now.
Hi, I’m Abby. Welcome to Worked.
I have never 'smashed it' or 'hustled', or had a routine that involves waking up at 5am to drink a green smoothie. I'm yet to find my inner purpose and frankly I'm bored of the search. What I have found is a way to show up most days to work that's been intellectually, socially and financially rewarding. My way might not be your way but that's OK.
Meet the Founder
let’S find a way forward that works for you
Maybe you are trying to run the business while being there best you can for your loved ones. Maybe there are things you are itching to get stuck into - that new service, that new idea, heck that something just for you.
Not only are you trying to do all these things, you trying to do them while <points-to-the-world-right-now> distractions unfold around you, daily.
I've worked in corporate, public sector, for a Big 4 firm and as a local volunteer. I worked before the dot.com bubble and keep at it while AI barges in. I've run my own business for 15 years while helping small business owners run theirs.
I now work as a coach and advisor to people wanting to get along better with their work and their life.I provide support on transitions, overwhelm and underwhelm. Together, we can get you unstuck whether the sticky bit is your relationship with your business, with others or how you are feeling about it all right now.
If you want a space just for you where you can think outloud, be properly listened to, be gently challenged and calmly reassured, get in touch.
We'll acknowledge that it's hard sometimes. Then we'll roll up our sleeves and move things forward, together.WHY WORKED?
I help you get from where you are to where you want to be. When you aren't sure where you want to be, I can help you work that out too.
Sometimes on the journey from A to B, we encounter obstacles. They can be internal (the thinking patterns, the uncomfortable emotions, the unconscious habits, the negative internal voice) or feel more external (too much on the to-do list, clunky systems, lack of time, lack of control over what is happening around us).
Often you just haven't had the time and space to speak to someone who is really listening. Making that space can sometimes be enough to shift what's in the way.
How I can help
Coaching: space to think, proper questions, and a bit of gentle challenge to help you find your own way through.
Advisory: a strategic eye on what you can ditch, automate or delegate to create a bit of room in your work and life.
Sometimes we start in one mode and realise we need to shift into the other. We'll notice when that's happening and move with it.
How we work together
Complete the contact us form or email hello@abbyshacklock.com with a brief outline of what’s on your mind. If it feels like we’re a good fit, we’ll book you in for your first full 1 hour session.
REACH OUT
your first 1 hour session
Our first full session together isn’t a talking shop. Instead, we get properly stuck in. We chat through where you are now and where you want to get to and start exploring how to get you there.
Sometimes, an hour is it all takes to get you unstuck. If you’d like more time, we can agree to work together longer term.
I’ll send over a draft agreement outlining the support we are going to put in place to help you move things forward plus practical details and Ts and Cs . Once you are ready, we get to work.
