Taravandana Lupson
Background and Work Experience I have worked in the NHS and with social care and voluntary sector partners for 30 years as a Dietitian, Manager and Workforce and Organisational Development Lead. This means that I bring to coaching these experiences and challenges facing providers, managers and executives of public services. I am have been passionate about enabling clients, patients and staff to meet their potential through designing and delivering training and development opportunities. For 10 years I provided a specialist service to people with palliative care needs and trained in counseling and bereavement support. To be better able to listen and empathise with people. I have been practicing and teaching Mindfulness and Compassion Mind Training for 25 years within the Buddhist Tradition and a range of secular settings including leadership courses. Since 2008 I have been running my own Coaching and Consulting business working mainly with public sector clients. What I am able to offer is bespoke development projects for individuals and teams. For example; coaching and mentoring, team building, leadership development, mindfulness and resilience and workforce redesign. Approach I believe that given supportive conditions we can all achieve our potential and that we all have inner resources such as knowledge, experience, skills and intuition that coaching helps to access. Coaching for me provides a place where people can think, talk openly and safely, check out their assumptions and be heard. It’s a place where individuals with very difficult jobs can be supported and also challenged to be the best they can for themselves and others. To be listened to can often be a gift that brings about positive change in understanding, self-confidence and decision making.
I have coached a number of senior and clinical teams to enable them to work more effectively and harmoniously together and to continuously improve the services they provide.
I have been supporting the North West Coaching and Mentoring Schemes to establish Supervision for its practitioners and supervising both newly qualified and experienced coaches. I facilitate Mindfulness for Coaches workshops and courses and increasingly train and support individual leaders in developing mindfulness and skills to support resilience.
Experience of Coaching I am qualified to ILM Level 7 in Coaching and have over 200 hours of internal/external coaching experience. I am also a member of the European Mentoring and Coaching council.
