As the year draws to a close, it presents us with a lovely moment to pause and reflect. And in doing so, we’ve decided to turn our reflections into something meaningful.  

So, in our ‘Days of Christmas’ series we’ll share insights, recommendations and reflections that have inspired us this year.

We’re delighted that Rachel Morris, founding partner of Motion Learning has been shortlisted in the Excellence in Female Health Advocacy category at this coming year’s awards!

In our recent webinar, coaches Rachel Morris and Helen Brooks discussed Imposter Syndrome and how to handle it. We had some great questions from the audience, which Rachel and Helen have taken the time to answer here…

Have you ever doubted your achievements or felt like a fraud, despite your successes? You’re not alone…

In the coaching room we see Imposter Syndrome affects leaders and high achievers across all industries, regardless of gender or experience. But the good news is that there are coaching strategies and tools to manage it and we want to share some with you… 

How can a coach help a senior leader manage and overcome imposter thoughts?

Read our case study of a recent situation in which Helen Brooks, Motion Coach, worked over a period of months with a leader as they overcame their doubts and handled the transition into a more senior role.

Rachel recently joined Abby Dixon, on the Whole Marketer Podcast to discuss her definition of working parents, the challenges faced particularly by working mothers, her insights on setting boundaries and self-care and the emotional struggles during transitions like maternity leave.

In a thought-provoking discussion which took place on International Equal Pay Day 2024, Rachel Morris reflected upon the ongoing challenges faced by working mothers and the persistent fight for gender equality.

See and hear her top tips for organisations, leaders and managers who wish to be true allies to working women, mothers and parents.

At the launch of Working Mother, Rachel Morris' new book last week, she was asked: “The book is for all parents, but is there any real differences between mums and dads in this space”

Here are our thoughts on the question, and how we can support all parents during this transition.

We're thrilled to announce that Rachel's book 'Working Mother, simple coaching strategies for success at work and home' is now available at all good book stores!

We've learnt so much over the last 20 years of work, from each other and our team, from our clients and from our coachees.

But if we had to pick just one thing, the single most important lesson we've learnt, is that the single most impactful thing you can do today, and everyday, to help cope with daily life, is to consciously pause more.

Rachel Morris' new book Working Mother is arriving soon!

Working Mother offers simple, practical tools for each stage of this complex but rewarding life change, allowing you to become the coach you need by your side every step of the way.

People often ask us “what is the one most significant thing that they could do to shift towards a coaching approach?”

We simply reply… “Tell less and ask more. Then listen to the response”

We’re been supporting coaches and communities via a not-for-profit since 2021, and now we want to tell you more about it.

Here’s an insight to Coach Community - Developing Coaches and Supporting Communities.

We’re excited for the future of this project!

We recently took an extended trip down memory lane, as we celebrated our the 20th anniversary of Motion Learning, and we’ve captured our journey.

We are often asked about the best ways to build a career in coaching.

We hope it’s useful to share the thoughts we’ve developed over 20 years in the industry.

In the episode titled “Empowering Working Parents” on the fascinating Limitless Lives podcast, Rachel Morris joins Nilesh Patel to discuss the challenges and complexities of parenting while maintaining a career and shares personal anecdotes and strategies for finding harmony.

Join us as we explore how to reduce overwhelm for yourself and others.

We're excited to host a live webinar “Tackling Overwhelm for Yourself and Others”, with special guest Rachel Randle-Williams joining Rachel Morris to explore this critical area of leadership success

Rachel Morris, Lead Coach and Partner at Motion Learning, spoke recently at the 2023 Global DEI Conference about the importance of Parental Transition Coaching for every progressive organisation.

This video by Rachel Morris, Executive Coach and partner at Motion Learning, explores “assertiveness”, which is really nothing more simple – or maybe complicated – than knowing when and how to state your own needs truthfully and clearly in a way that enables others to state theirs too.

A leap year, and the extra day it brings, may be the most obvious moment to question the amount of work you do.

But factors such as hybrid working, the increase in global roles, the rise of digital interaction has contributed hugely to the number of hours we regularly offer up for free.
