Would you ever work with a therapist who wasn't fully qualified, regulated, and monitored? I imagine not. So why should it be any different with a coach? The answer is simple: it shouldn't be. As a client, you deserve to work with someone who you know is capable, adhering to best practice, and therefore fit to work with you. Which is why regulation is so important.

Working Mother, the book Rachel Morris has written to help people to access coaching support if they weren't able (or privileged enough) to get this through their employers, has reached the final shortlist in the Business Book Awards 2025!

We’re keeping our fingers crossed for good news in September!

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.
