Helping you on your path in work & life
About Many Paths Coaching: Jackie Godwin
A bit about me
I’m from Manchester a vibrant city in the North West of England which has continued to be my home.
Over the years, I have changed my career to suit family circumstances and my desire for new challenges. I didn’t have family support either emotional or financial for further education and started my working life in a series of clerical jobs. When the opportunity arose, despite being a single parent with two young children, I did some further study and then embarked on a degree course. I then dedicated over ten years to working in education helping young children and their families combining this at various points with working with young children in Art Gallery settings. More recently I worked in the public sector, supporting clients facing various challenges whether they were looking for work or making a career change. Together we worked on building confidence, preparing for interviews, tackling limiting beliefs, and identifying strengths and motivations.
While I found this incredibly rewarding I started longing for more flexibility. I wanted fulfilling work that would also give me more time to enjoy Pilates, gardening, and pursue creative projects. Inspired by the changes that I had seen in my work with other people, I decided to make a change for myself, embarking on a coaching course and founding my freelance coaching business.
Now, I feel like I am on an amazing adventure! It has ups and downs but is consistently rewarding.

My Approach and Specialities
At the heart of my way of working are listening, finding out what works for you and helping you discover your own solutions.
