Prioritize your development Increase your impact Go home happy (and on time!)

Are you drained, disillusioned or daunted by the pressures of your job right now?

The pace, volume and complexity of business change feels relentless

A racing mind makes it hard to think clearly and make good decisions

You’re having to navigate high-stakes relationships and conflicting perspectives

It’s emotionally taxing, especially giving bad news or implementing things you’re not happy about

You never get around to your own development; others always seem to come first

You feel isolated due to the confidential nature of your work

“As a profession that puts people at the heart of its work, responsibility and a duty of care weighs heavily on it.”
CIPD Workday People profession survey report 2022

It doesn’t have to feel this way

My coaching and mental fitness training gives you chance to breathe, time to think and space to grow so you can get back to enjoying, and thriving in, your role.

Working together, and with other people professionals, we will bolster your resilience, confidence, and skills so you can continue to rise to the challenges of HR, particularly the emotional and relationship ones, without sacrificing your values, wellbeing, or homelife.

“Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.”
Anne Lamott, Almost Everything: Notes On Hope

Meet your coach and facilitator

Hi, I’m Celia Clark, a career development coach with over two decades’ experience in Learning and Development; 15 years within HR and 9 years coaching and facilitating learning in my own business.

I believe people should be developed by work, not damaged by it, and that includes the people team. My mission at Inspires Coaching is to support and develop people professionals like you through coaching and mental fitness so you can succeed in your demanding roles and make your workplace a positive experience for everyone – including YOU.

I also work with people who aren’t in HR. If that’s you, or you’re a people professional seeking support for an employee, please still get in touch.
