Biography- Alison Richards - Director
Arc Services started in 2010 providing Strategic Business Development Coaching, Project Management and Training Services. The Company is a principle centred company whose aims are to harness the strengths in individuals and be the catalyst for change. My mission is getting the best out of you through coaching and NLP.
My career started in the Community Arts sector, running a successful Video Production House for 8 years. After completing a BA in Multimedia I worked in Design for 7 years until entering Higher Ed to lecturer in design, video and Project Management.
My discovered my love of ceramics which then took me to France where I ran a retail pottery and training outlet and developed my linguistic abilities. In 2005 when I came to the UK , I focused my energies in teaching Family Learning and English as a Second Oral Language. I progressed to co-ordinate Family Adult Learning and then in a strategic role, working as Parenting Co-ordinator; responsible for strategic development and Implementation across the borough.
I became self employed 5 years ago and integrate coaching and nlp into all the development and quality work I do.
I provide business development consultancy and have a track record supporting Community and Voluntary organizations;including capacity building, product development and infrastructure development.
I am an Associate Coach with Striding Out CIC Products www.stridingout.co.uk and Future Foundations and have delivered on the National Citizenship residential programme; coaching young people from 16 -18 www.futurefoundations.co.uk
My journey has brought me to invest my skills in transition and personal development coaching and training.
I am motivated by the challenges and inspired when I witness the synergy and progress that empowering people makes.
I am a parent with two teenage boys, and they are my guiding light for succeeding and my constant leveller. I currently volunteer as a board member for a local charity and crew with Anthony Robbins.
