The Dash
THE JUGGLE IS REAL
“This is who I am. I’ve got two little babies. They are my priority. If you want me to do the job, you’ve got to pay me to do the job and you’ve got to give me flexibility”
The juggle is real. The balance is not.
This programme was founded through a need to support people through the journey of parenthood; to manage the Dash of child logistics on zero sleep, the Dash of getting to work, nursery and home all on time, the Dash of fulfilling your parental, social, family and career obligations whilst remembering to clean your teeth!
This programme was founded with the vision that if people can get more support, be given the space, time and be listened to in the workplace then maybe flexible working, equal pay and female presidents can become a reality.
Whether you are trying to juggle the demands of little people along with new financial, childcare and emotional pressures, feeling isolated or confused with a change of identity and purpose, preparing to return to work or need to figure out how to make time for you – coaching can help.

FREE COACHING for parents who need it
FUNDING FROM Natwest’s Back Her Business Campaign HAS NOW ENDED. CURRENTLY FUNDRAISING - SIGN UP TO NEWSLETTER FOR UPDATES
Thanks to the generous Dot Dot Dash Coaching community and support from Natwest’s Back Her Business campaign, we can now offer free coaching sessions to parents that need it. We want to make coaching accessible for everyone wherever and whoever you are. As carers much of our time revolves around looking after those around us, giving selflessly all of our time, love, energy (and often finances), leaving little left for us. If there is any money left it is not often spent on you, however prioritising ourselves is integral to the whole process and allows the machine of life to operate.

Our group sessions are based on the Action Learning Set model. These supportive, social, inclusive sessions will allow you to gain new skills (including coaching, confidence and leadership), whilst working alongside other parents to share individual challenges and goals – learning, supporting and solving problems together.
The group coaching model is based upon Action Learning; the concept of learning by reflection (or reviewing) on an experience
Sessions are for small groups of people who are willing to offer as well as seek help from one another in a supportive and confidential learning environment
Parents will gain vital coaching and communication skills by helping others, in addition to identifying their own goals and how to achieve them
Parents will learn, gain confidence and increased awareness, as well as helping others, making friends and gaining a supportive network or parent community
Group coaching courses can take place in businesses, community settings, schools or any settings where parents may gather!
Courses coming soon
