About
I am Kay Chilvers
I am a experienced Coach & Project Manager & a graduate of the school of life!
After achieving remarkable success at a young age, I changed direction into project management. I took time to reflect and grow & my experiences have taught me the importance of people & connection.
About Me.
Welcome to my coaching journey!
My corporate career came to a swift & dramatic end following a heated discussion with my MD. Following huge Sales & Marketing success, I was promoted to board director, at only 27, it was too much too soon & I wasn't aware that sometimes it is not appropriate to share everything that is on your mind.
I took time out to reflect and grow & have since had an interesting & varied career.
I now understand how I interact with the world, what I am good at, when to listen, when to speak up (and when NOT to speak up).
Here's another thing I discovered - the main thing that gives me energy is people.
As a parent, I found myself focused on how different things are now.
Do we still have the time & space to make mistakes, gain confidence, change direction & try again?
In today's fast-paced world where young people face unique challenges. I am passionate about supporting them in achieving their goals. My focus on young people is driven by a personal belief that mobile phones, social media & an anxiety epidemic have meant they need more support than is usually available, to reach thier goals.
That is why I trained as a coach

ABOUT COACHING
What Coaching is:
-
Forward facing, action driven dialogue between me, the coach & you, the thinker
-
A powerful non-directive conversation that supports you to shift your mindset on specific challenges or goals
-
Understanding yourself more deeply so you can maximise your personal or professional potential
-
Identifying thoughts & behaviours that are getting in your way or do not serve you
-
Creating a plan together to overcome challenges that are holding you back.
-
An opportunity for personal growth & transformation
"I am not the expert here – you are!
You are the expert on yourself & how it feels to be you, I can just guide you by asking questions."
"We are in this together. I will sit with you and listen to discover what it is that we can not yet see"
What Coaching is not:
-
Being given the answer to your problem
-
Being offered a diagnosis of an issue or being offered a solution
-
Mentoring based on my personal experience
-
Therapy, counselling or a substitute for mental health care.
Important Note:
If something you encounter brings up more than you want to explore on your own, please reach out to someone who can support you or a mental health professional.

Why Moonstone?
When my son was born, Mum bought me a beautiful Moonstone necklace as a gift. I loved it & still wear it everyday...........
I leant later that some people believe a Moonstone can mean
-
New beginnings
-
Feminine energy
-
Emotional balance
-
Symbolic during life transitions.
-
Birth stone for June
So when it came to choosing a name for my business, I chose Moonstone no special reason, I just love it.
