Coaching & Mentoring

Freshwaters is passionate about making significant social, cultural and economic change around the world. The starting point, as advocated by Ghandi is to be and create the change we want to see. We can achieve this by inspiring people to think differently about themselves, take action to transform their lives and discover their talent.

Coaching and mentoring are offered as a tailored package for an individual based on their needs and goals, or as part of an integrated package of organisational development services. We focus on building on strengths and nurturing talent.

Coaching is fundamentally about the changes that takes place within the person being coached through facilitated learning and in some cases unlearning. We support individuals through a process of transition and action which is directed and owned by them. We help in the creation and implementation of an individualised professional development plan to help clients confidently achieve individual and organisational goals.

Our coaching falls into three categories:

"The ability to learn and unlearn are amongst the most powerful evolutionary forces within each individual or group of individuals"

Testimonial

“One of the most notable achievements of my career was to be awarded a fellowship from the National Endowment for Science Technology and the Arts (NESTA) in August 2000 to research the lack of black producers in film and television industries in the UK. The NESTA fellowship required that I appoint a mentor to support me as I strived to meet my personal and creative objectives. I asked Maureen Salmon to fulfil this role during the first year of my research. By the end of the first year I had made a documentary about the black film festival in Burkina Faso, written the first draft of my report Pitchblack, produced a documentary for Badejo Arts, worked as researcher on a Channel 4 programme about British entrepreneurship, finished a year on the National Film and Television School’s Advanced programme, and had been offered middle-management positions at both the BBC and Channel 4. In my opinion, Maureen Salmon is a gifted coach.”
