MY COACHING STORY

A flight home from Atlanta to an Accredited Coach with the ICF - Coaching and the Positive Mental Fitness Proramme changed my life, and it will change yours and your team's lives too.
 

I've lived in Oxford most of my life. I met my wife when we were at school and have been married for lots of years. I love baking bread and have a wood-fired Portuguese oven which is terrific for sourdough and making the most amazing home made pizza.  I haven't really had a 'career' as such, my plan was always to work hard and be there for my family as much as possible. I love being outside (see Mind Over Mountains below!) and I have three  favourite places 1) The end of our garden 2) Fiscardo and 3) The 1000 Islands. Oh, and I love the Eight Bells at Eaton, if you get a chance, go there or get a Tommy's Thai Takeaway.

​​

I met my coach in 2010 on a flight from Atlanta to London. That chance encounter on a 747, was a pivotal moment in my life. It helped me get more direction and purpose, led to two promotions, helped me improve my work and family relationships and led to me becoming more the person I wanted to be.

​​

​I benefitted from coaching so much I decided to become one. In 2016, I signed up for a nine month ILM Certificate in Coaching and Mentoring course at Oxford Brookes University. I have been coaching ever since. I am an Associate Accredited Coach with the International Coach Federation. 

 

A couple of years ago, I fulfilled a dream and started to walking with Mind Over Mountains as an Associate Wellbeing Coach. Mind Over Mountains enable people to restore and sustain their mental health and wellbeing through programmes that bring together walking in nature, mindfulness, & specialist coaching & counselling.

 ​

Coaching is a powerful alliance between coach & thinker designed to forward and enhance lifelong growth and development. I think the best description of coaching I've ever heard is: "Coaching is a conversation between two people about one of them." Working together, we will focus on your thinking, your goals and your actions - my role is to help you think and to help you go further than you thought was possible.

​​

I have lots of experience in administration, managing administration, fundraising and serving as a trustee on charity boards.

​

​

​

I look forward to meeting you.

THE POSITIVE MENTAL FITNESS PROGRAMME

Herbal Tea_edited.jpg

Mental Fitness (PQ)

In partnership with Positive Intelligence Inc, I offer a seven week programme which results in sustainable changes through a mental fitness programme designed to increase your focus, productivity and happiness.

​

Here’s how it works:

​

It’s proven!

This programme is based on the latest breakthroughs in neuroscience, positive psychology, cognitive psychology and performance science as outlined in Shirzad Chamine’s NY Times bestselling book, Positive Intelligence: Why Only 20% of Teams and Individuals Achieve Their True Potential and how you can achieve yours.

​

To succeed doesn’t take much time! 

You’ll watch a weekly one-hour video presented by Shirzad Chamine; engage in a one-hour PQ Group Pod facilitated by Tim Pottle, and complete a daily 10-minute “mental workout” using an easy-to-use mobile app.

​

So many training courses change us for a week or maybe a month, then we slip back to the old ways. The Positive Mental Fitness Programme helps you make changes quickly and provides you with the tools to maintain your mental fitness forever.

​

The PQ Pod (group) 

Being in a PQ Pod means you are five times more likely to succeed.  You'll join four to eight administrators and team leaders and you’ll learn, support one another, create accountability and make seismic shifts in how you react to the ups and downs of your daily life.

​

Led by Tim Pottle

Your PQ Pod will be led by Tim who has been an administrator, administration manager, fundraiser and charity trustee for over 25 years. He started work as a temporary admin assistant and now works part-time as Development Director at Regent's Park College in Oxford. Tim is an Associate at Salt Coaching and Consulting and Openwell. 

 

His mission and passion is to help managers and their teams thrive both at work and home. 

​

If you manage a team or are a member of a team, Tim has been where you are and knows the challenges you face.

​

Get on the course and in seven weeks, you'll move from feeling overwhelmed, undervalued, lacking time and energy, to feeling more focused, more productive and happier both at home and work.

​

There's no risk, all this is backed by a money back guarantee. If you put in the work and don't get the results your money will be refunded in full. 

​

If you would like 1:1 coaching with Tim that's available too
