DRAGONFLY: IMPACT COACHING
We help young people see situations clearly so they can be well and learn
Hi, we are Rachael and Claire, co-founders of Dragonfly: Impact Education and wellbeing coaches and mentors for children and young people.
We trust that by helping children and young people to see situations clearly and gain more knowledge, they can work out ways to be well, love learning and thrive in the modern world.

3 STEPS TO WELLBEING
Dragonfly Impact Coaching has 3 stages:
1. The 'Why' - The initial part of the process focuses on the child or young person. We help them find answers to questions like:
What makes you happy? What do you value? What makes a 'good day' good? What do you want to have happen?
We will use powerful tools that fast track to greater insights into thoughts, feelings and behaviours. These include a full DISC profile and the Wheels of Clarity tool.
2. The 'What' - By focusing on meaningful goals, we make tangible progress in the direction in which the young person wants to travel. We will work on concrete actions that the coachee wants to take and discuss how they wish to stay accountable.
3. The 'How' - The final stage of the process will bring all the strands together and lay out a plan for how the lessons learned can stick in the future so that the young person has a toolkit of healthy coping strategies that are bespoke to them.
The process is delivered over 8 weeks and includes 1:1 coaching, email/whatsapp support, activities on our online learning platform and DISC personality profiling.
The full price of the programme is £500. Where families are paying directly, we offer a limited amount of places that we subsidise to half price as part of The Dragonfly Wellbeing Project.
The cost includes 1:1 coaching via Zoom, all online workbooks and questionnaires, DISC personality profiling and post-coaching support for 2 weeks.

3 STEPS TO WELLBEING
"Coaching and 1-1 support not only had positive outcomes for both my sons’ exam results but also on their confidence, self-esteem, resilience and belief that they could succeed. I would thoroughly recommend Dragonfly to anyone no matter what their child's ability."

"Claire has worked with both of my sons and made a big difference to each of them, I highly recommend her. My eldest achieved good pass grades in his GCSEs and is now studying for his A levels. My younger son was in year 8 and struggled with his confidence when it came to his work. Claire’s work with him resulted in comments from his class teacher at school about how much he had come on, not just in terms of the subject but in his confidence when approaching the learning, Claire really gave him the boost he needed to fulfil his potential."

"I would like to thank Rachael for all her support with my son. He is 16 years old and has been suffering with severe anxiety for 3-4 years. Last year we were really struggling and three of his friends took their lives. I was really worried about my son and was offered to be placed on the NHS waiting list of nine months. We then went to see a private counsellor, but he found this increasingly stressful. He has now had four sessions with Rachael and has found them to be very positive experiences. He looks forward to their weekly sessions and is making great progress. It is a joy to hear them laugh during their time together. If your child, friend or family member is having issues or problems they need to talk about, I can't recommend Rachael enough!".

"I worked with both Rachael Bushby and Claire Pass for several years, and I can honestly say that it was always a pleasure. Not just because they are both professional and organised, but because of the wonderful, positive atmosphere they create. Rachael and Claire radiate positivity - they approach the most challenging behaviour in with genuine care and acceptance. I've seen them turn around students by helping them to realise their potential through patience, persistence and encouragement. I've seen the most reluctant teenagers looking forward to having a lesson with either of them. Rachael and Claire can change 'I can't' or 'I won't' into 'I can' and 'I will'."
