@LouMcardle Chuffed to bits! Totally unexpected and a real honour.

[Rachel Westerbeek @rachwesterbeek]

@AmandaPayne333 Lovely words, feels like two awards in one night! Thank you!

Yay, my @IntlJourAcadDev paper on how we could look more holistically at academic development through #coachingHE is now available :) Could we support each other more to navigate tricky and pressured academic careers? https://t.co/V5P74hDP87 #lifewidelearning #heutagogy

I'm looking forward to meeting our @THE_UCLan 2019/2020 applicants tomorrow, along with @jshaw_uclan, at the #UCLanApplicantDay. It's always great introducing new students to what we do and to #Preston/#Lancashire. 🌹@MarketingLancs

@virginmedia Thanks for the info. Please do update your customer service staff so the advice they give is accurate and complete.

[Rachel Westerbeek @rachwesterbeek]

@virgin @VirginMediaCorp Your customer services advised, on reporting a lost mobile phone, that once new SIM issued, a 2nd request to cancel number could not be processed the same day, and customer liable for all charges until cancelled. Is this true???

[Rachel Westerbeek @rachwesterbeek]

Thanks all. I've gained so much from this. Have a great weekend.

A4 I don't have anything on Clean Language to share, but Jackson & McKergow's chapter on language in The Solutions Focus is a great read if you've not come across it

A3 I'm wondering whether I separate out the two and consider Claean Language as a principle of my coaching and metaphor as a tool ... hmm .. food for thought

@rhianellis3 A3 The word 'narrative' is resonating with me in a way I can't quite capture. Thanks. One for me to come back to.

@SDFACUK A3 I'd say two of the greatest benefits I see when I get it right are improved rapport and clarity.

[Rachel Westerbeek @rachwesterbeek]

@LJ_Rees @Garethcareers A2 Yes, thanks. This looks really useful. I mainly work with students and a lot of the conversations are about their journeys/ pathways through their studies.

@JulietEFlynn @zoe_connell_ This lines up with Jackson & McKergows 'Language' in their SIMPLE Principles; using the coachees language means the words are already defined by the person who needs them

@d_tworek Drawing is an interesting one. I draw a lot in sessions, but hadn't thought about my sketchings being metaphors #CoachingHE #SDFcoaching

[Rachel Westerbeek @rachwesterbeek]

@ninacanttweet @SDFACUK A1 That's intersting, I hadn't realised how many metaphors I used until I started working with students whose first language isn't English - highlighted by how often they just didn't 'land'
