Sharn Atherton

Founder

Working primarily with individuals from professional service industries, I create a safe space to view things differently and unfold transformational change.

I understand the struggles you face and have first-hand experience of how a despondent leadership team or stale management strategy can affect both our personal achievements and the productivity of the organisations we are part of.

Working with me is a personal experience far removed from the corporate training you might have previously accessed. I create open space for sharing thoughts, beliefs, challenges and aspirations. I ask perceptive questions and actively listen to what you have to say. I help ambitious individuals face personal barriers and become a confident asset to any team.

An experienced coach and mentor, I am passionate about the growth of every individual and organisation I work with.

Professional Approach

My coaching experience is supported by a personal background in professional services and commercial environments. This solid knowledge base and rich experience of complex organisations is woven through every programme that I deliver.

In 2018 I founded professional coaching provider Futureful to inspire a progressive culture where individual growth is prioritised in order to achieve business success. My layered approach to coaching creates sustained outcomes, encouraging self-reflection and providing the tools for every individual to take the lead in personal development.

I offer coaching through face-to-face meetings, telephone and video conferencing. And I’m always on hand to offer support between sessions when you need it.

My influence impacts productivity, creativity and wellbeing across the workplace.

I first contacted Sharn when I was setting up my wedding business. Sharn knew exactly how to steer my business in the right direction.

Sharn’s coaching methods helped deliver the long and short term business strategies I needed to attract the right clientele and stand out in my industry. I went on to be an award winner.

I’ve learned a lot from working with Sharn. Not only did she help me figure out, define, and clarify my life goals, but she also gave me tools, techniques, and suggestions for how to reach them.
