About me, Helen Lindop

After a very short career as a design and technology teacher, I decided I’d rather be working with adults and became a trainer.

My first job was training teachers on educational software and was a vital stepping stone on my way to going freelance in 2000.

Over the next six years I trained on a wide range of subjects from Microsoft Office to mentoring skills, working with clients from food manufacturers and IT services companies to community organisations, both face-to-face and online.

During this time I also completed my life/business coach training with Coach U.

By 2006 I was ready for a change and went back to the employed life as an IT Trainer for Capita IT Services.

I wanted to spend time with my babies who were born in 2008 and 2009, so decided to go back to self employment.  But it’s a whole lot more challenging when you’re working around two tiny children!

If you’d like to know more about my experience of going back to work when my maternity leave ended and starting my eight-month-old daughter in a nursery, take a look at New Mum Returns To Work – How it Was For Me (part 1) and New Mum Returns To Work – How it Was For Me (part 2).
