A bit about me...
,About me
I'm a fully qualified coach and a Member of the Association for Coaching.
I spent 18 months training for my Diploma in Coaching and qualified in 2005.
I've coached for over fifteen years in Hertfordshire, across the UK, and internationally, as well as having many years in education.
How did I come to coaching? As part of my own personal development, I trained as a coach.
As an English teacher, I'd taught in independent and state sectors, in boarding and day schools, and adult students.
This involved coaching and motivating: exams, choosing careers, applying for jobs. I developed this with a coaching qualification.
As an education expert and coach I was asked to write two books - self-help for parents and students.
This launched my career as a writer, focusing on careers, education, family and wellbeing.
I have written for all the broadsheets and many other publications and websites.
You can see some of it here www.glyniskozmajournalist.co.uk
My coaching work now is around a holistic package of support (careers, relationships, wellbeing) and mentoring writers.
Training and experience
Away from work
I enjoy spending time with my two adult children, walking to keep fit, writing my first novel, and listening to everything on Radio 4.

The coaching I received from Glynis allowed me to review my current situation, take stock and consider the options. Then, to open my eyes to a clear way forward when previously I was muddled and indecisive. RB, Herts |
Running the same business for over 20 years, I needed to step back and make some difficult decisions about my next career steps. Glynis was able to coach me through this.. AL, Herts |
"Having reached a point where I was able to consider a life change I realised that I didn't know how to go about it. Glynis helped me develop a strategy for identifying what areas I could realistically consider. I now feel I have solid direction. AS Herts |
