Instant Pause

Anu Shroff

Hello, I am Anu. One of my biggest passions is to help people clarify and achieve their life goals or support them through an issue they are facing. I have been fortunate enough to have felt the power of coaching and want to share this experience with as many people as I can. I will walk along side you and gently support you in your own journey of discovery and learning.

At the heart of the work I do is one thing. Illuminating Potential. Enabling people to be the best version of themselves, whatever they want that to be. I like to work in a dynamic, creative and holistic way whether that be as a Coach, Facilitator, Supervisor or Mentor. It is an honour to create deep trust with a fellow human being and be able to utilise my intuition, working with you in a sanctuary of reflection.

As a coach and facilitator in my previous HR career, and since becoming a mum, I know what an absolute gift it is to make time to Pause. I bring warmth, individual focus and a relaxed style and look forward to welcoming you to the Instant Pause soon.

I know ‘busy’. For as long as I can remember it was the only way I knew life to be. I know what juggling lots of balls feels like, overwhelm, stress, pressure, trying to please everybody, trying to do and have it all. I appreciate that you can get an awful lot of satisfaction from the ‘achievement and ‘success’ that comes with that. I also know the cost when it gets completely out of balance.

As a mother, leader, coach, facilitator and businesswoman Ive known and appreciated the highs and lows of it all. I still know and experince ‘busy’ only too well. Taking time out to pause has become an essential ingredient to my well being. What was once a luxury is now a necessity in my life and enables me to thrive. Its what sits at the heart of my own business; to help others find this space for themselves, to give themselves permission to stop, to know its not only ok but it will help them to thrive and be an even better version of themselves. I cant wait to press ‘Pause’ with you.

Hi I’m Jo and I am a Coach, Therapist and Facilitator based in Plymouth UK. I was first introduced to Coaching over 15 years ago when I was working as an HR Executive in the Corporate world. I remember being totally hooked from the start as I saw how the coaching process literally transformed people and helped them improve not only their performance at work but also their quality of life. Later, I trained as a therapist and subsequently left my corporate career to run my own Coaching & Counselling business. I have been privileged to work with many people over the years both individually and in groups. My passion is in helping people to bring their authentic self forward so that they are able to live the life they truly want.

Most of my work is connected to organisational health – how businesses and the people in them can be more productive, connected and content. I describe myself as a creative and commercial Coach, Constellator and sometimes Consultant – what this really means is i spend lots of time working with people, in a variety of ways so they can get ‘unstuck’, be more in flow and happier for it. I want to offer this opportunity to as many people as possible and the Pause work is one way I do this. I believe that you can be deeply grounded, whilst being playful and light and that’s the environment I create.

MaryAnn Voli

After 13 years in senior marketing leadership positions, in 2010 I decide to embark into two new adventures: a profound career move and relocation to Hong Kong from Italy. My new career is about making a difference in the world by supporting leaders develop their leadership impact and presence to create engaged and high performing teams and better places to work. I do this through an inside out process that begins with a deep understanding of self, of one’s values and purpose. I define success by the new insights and mindsets participants develop during training and/or coaching, opening up new possibilities, behaviours and therefore results at the individual and the organizational level. For the last 2 years I have added mindfulness into the inside out process with corporates based on the learnings from my personal practice and on scientific evidence of the beneficial impact on organisational culture and leadership presence and effectiveness. The Pause is a perfect first step in this inside out process towards gaining clarity into your self, your values and purpose.

Michele Pitts

Life has taught me the power of pausing to regain balance in my life. As a marketer in a large corporate, I had my first experience of the transformational benefits of taking time for myself, by working with a coach on my return to work after my son was born. At a time when my world was tilting on its axis, working with a coach helped me maintain calm & a balanced perspective. I was so inspired by my experience that I changed career & have now been a coach, facilitator & consultant for over 13 years. I work with corporate clients, small business owners and individuals. I am passionate about helping people live & lead authentically, supporting them to lean into life’s challenges, to dream big, reach for the stars and believe they can truly fly.

Life in Hong Kong runs at a 100 miles an hour. The ‘work hard, play hard’ mentality can leave you feeling exhausted, stressed, unhealthy, unbalanced and often, overwhelmed, with what feels like no time, or way, to slow down, refocus and reconnect with yourself.   I know what it’s like to feel this way, and I understand how important it is to pause.  After 11 years developing people in the Corporate Investment industry, I now run my own business dedicated to coaching people through career, leadership and life transitions, getting unstuck and gaining clarity.

Every time I run the Instant Pause I am reminded of my own need to pause and I love seeing what unfolds for the people that join us.

Hello!  I’m Neeta and my passion is working with people to help them uncover the space within themselves where insights and clarity are always present.  I believe it’s the missing link to living a life of joy, ease and success and it’s why I love this work!

Nicola Moss

Sometimes we need to take a step back from our busy daily routines and slow down in order to move forward. Taking these invaluable breaks in the past years has saved me from losing myself completely during crazy busy times and lead me to following my heart and combining my passions of coaching, connecting with people, travel & adventure. I love creating a safe space for curious minds who wish to reconnect, recalibrate and support you throughout your own magical journey.

Ria Ingleby

I have a unique background in health, fitness and wellbeing, combined with my HR profession over the last 15 years, this continues to influence my work with my clients & the wellbeing strategy and programmes I develop for business. After an enforced pause of burnout and cancer, I have a refreshing philosophy of life – nourish the best version of you. I have a mission in my remission!

Sarah Hobson

I have spent much of my work helping people grow whether they be children, teenagers or adults. After a brief ‘detour” into the financial sector, I went back to my first love, music. For the last 12 years I have been coaching and training managers and directors within the corporate world. Outside of that world I design programmes using music to understand how we communicate, empathise, and show up as human beings and leaders.

Weaving through all of the above is a long journey of finding balance in my life after being brought to an abrupt stop with ‘burnout’ 15 years ago. Finding balance is for me not a destination but a continuous journey of noticing and course correcting as I attempt to flow through life with a bit more ease and resourcefulness. Running the Instant Pause is a beautiful way for me to do that for myself and for others.

Tania Adams

As a performance coach and key skills trainer, my passion is helping Individuals and groups to grow and utilise more of their potential. I believe the art of being present and having a clear mind has so much power. It opens up a new world of insight, awareness, opportunity and can be transformational. It’s a pleasure and a gift to pass on the baton and encourage and support others in their quest for change and balance.
