ABOUT CLARE DOWNES
My career has been all about communication; this started with sport at school and university and then followed me off the pitch and running routes into the workplace. I am fascinated by business and the people that work within them; what influences people\'s behaviour, mindset, decision-making and quite simply how they feel each day and respond to those around them. My career path and personal interest, has led me to Coaching; via a Politics degree, working within business development and marketing (FMCG, agency, hospitality), starting and growing my own businesses (marketing, conferencing and involvement in the family farming enterprise), lots of sport (particularly running and lacrosse) and supporting my husband and our children as they navigate the world around them. When people are dealing with change, within themselves or within a is when I am at my best as a coach; being there as you step up and into leadership, or make a significant change in direction - and then see what you are truly capable of. I also work alongside four other coaches: Haddon Coaching. We have a shared approach to coaching and to how we work with our clients. We have all created, grown - and merged or sold our own businesses; we have truly experienced what many of our clients are experiencing. We are also a B Corp certified coaching business - showing our long term commitment to working with businesses that place their core emphasis on the BCorp values - I have extensive knowledge of the commercial and emotional intricacies of owner-operated and family businesses. As a farmer\'s daughter and wife, I have a life divided between country and city; I feel that this provides me with a balanced approach and open-minded perspective when coaching.Sport is massively important to me – having played lacrosse for Wales and more recently, I have been involved in a voluntary capacity with lacrosse and athletics. As I support my children (track athlete and a cricketer), I see the enormous importance of Mental Strength in sport, just as in the workplace. I have transitioned my business and life coaching expertise and experience, to also working with athletes across different sports. It is as vital to train mentally as physically, for long term holistic health, success and above all enjoyment. I clear my own mind whilst running in the peaceful Shropshire countryside and watching our children play their many sports. I enjoy taking part in 10km and half
