Speech and language therapist turned life coach Catherine Williamson and her life coach colleague Jenny Maguire consider the synergy between the SEAL (Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning) initiative in primary schools and life coaching. They offered workshops to parents at St Joseph’s Primary School in Wrightington to complement what their children are learning and to give them an opportunity to: get their children to take responsibility; talk so children will listen; effectively reward children; manage their time more effectively; build their self-confidence. The article includes Catherine’s views on why her speech and language therapy background was invaluable in running the workshops, and the team’s plans to take the idea forward.
