ABOUT LUCY TULLOCH

My story
Shortly after having my second child I realised something wasn’t right at work. My confidence was very low and it was impacting on my energy and motivation at work. I knew something was wrong but I didn’t understand it or know how to fix it. I had been in my job for over 10 years. I had two small children and financial responsibilities. I also had lots of friends at work. It wasn’t just a job it was like an extended family.

I started working with a coach. She helped me to realised that my personal values had changed over the years and perhaps now they were not being met.  This was why I was feeling “unsettled”. We worked through what I wanted and needed from my career. She supported me as I overcame perceived obstacles such as making a significant change whilst parenting two small children! Part of the process was also overcoming fears that kept me in a place of being unhappy. Throughout this whole process I felt I had so much to offer but I needed help to remind myself of who I was and what I was great at! Together we focussed on how and what I could change to make me feel like the professional, highly capable person that I was! This resulted in going back to university and changing my career!

Whilst studying for my Post Graduate qualification it became clear that in the past training courses gave me skills but failed to address underlying issues such as imposter syndrome. This belief I had that someone would rumble me and know I wasn’t as capable as I thought I was. This was limiting my potential and holding me back professionally and personally. 

I am confident that  if I’d had coaching earlier in my career my performance would have been consistently stronger and the companies I worked for would have had better results. I also believe my leadership and management style would have been much more effective. 

I am extremely proud to be a PCC accredited coach with the International Coach Federation. This is only awarded after completing a minimum of 500 hours of coaching in addition to completing an entire ICF training programme. The ICF has taken the lead in developing a definition and philosophy of coaching and establishing ethical standards among its members.
