Lucy Grimwade ACC

Qualifications:
Professional Coaching Diploma ACTP with Full Circle Global. Specialising in Transformation, Team & Career Development. Full Circle Global are approved by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) as a training provider. Thus, with this qualification, I became a member of the ICF Gold Standard Coaching Body, where I am also an ACC level accredited coach.
I also hold a Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner & Coaching qualification accredited by NLP Association of Excellence. Alongside a Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) diploma which was awarded by Renaissance Therapy. Enabling me to give a more holistic approach to my practice.
These experiences taught me the value of self-worth and asking for help. Both are crucial components in understanding who you truly are, to find forgiveness and embrace the journey you are on.
My Story
On a professional note, stepping into the corporate world after leaving university, I have had the opportunity to work in leading industries which includes high-end retail (Harrods, Selfridges), banking (Investec) and Telco (Virgin Media O2).
With a degree in Computing BSc, I started my career as a Junior Service Desk Analyst. At the age of 21, I was leading teams and working on strategies. I worked my way up the career ladder into a senior leadership roles in Service Delivery and Continuous Improvement. From managing strategies and global teams to data analyse and holding the purse strings.
On a personal note, I live in the United Kingdom in Marlow with my Partner Matt and our two dogs: Buddy the Cavapoo (in picture) and Pippa the Cockapoo. Our dream is to move to New York one day, but right now that is a Hallmark movie in our imaginations.
I love learning, Italian food, champagne, Netflix documentaries, fashion, beauty and, with as a true wanderlust heart, I love to Travel.
My life has had many twists and turns. I had a long battle with depression which was caused by a difficult childhood. And, with a challenging career there was often more dark days than sunshine.
I found strength in developing deep relationships centred on trust, vulnerability and empathy.
These experiences taught me the value of self-worth and asking for help. Both are crucial components in understanding who you truly are, to find forgiveness and embrace the journey you are on.
