Welcome to Taproot Coaching and Consultancy!
I founded Taproot Coaching and Consultancy in 2021 with the sole aim of helping others unlock their full potential and nurture growth from within. I believe that every individual possesses unique strengths, talents, and aspirations. My mission is to guide you on your own transformative journey, helping you discover and leverage your inner resources to achieve personal and professional success.
Background:
I founded Taproot Coaching and Consultancy after years of struggling with self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy. I spent too much time listening to others’ opinions and disregarding my own desires and beliefs. I have both loved and hated my job, dealt with good and bad management and leaders, and experienced personal burnout. As a result, I wanted to help others to overcome similar challenges.
Behind the name:
Although I am not a gardener, I just mentioned to my husband that I would like to become one . . . and subsequently acquired several gardening books as Christmas and birthday presents!
Flicking through one of these books, I learned that plants can have two root systems; fibrous or tap.
A fibrous root system is a mass of small roots which grow in the first few inches of soil. Although very efficient at absorbing water and minerals, it is a shallow system, spreading outwards rather than deep, and therefore less resilient during periods of drought and strong winds.
Tap-root systems, in contrast, have one main root from which smaller lateral roots grow. These roots explore and mine deeper into the soil where water is more likely to be found, absorbing and storing it to ensure the plant can still flourish during periods of drought.
A deep taproot can also help to quickly anchor a plant, making plants with this root system able to survive in exposed, windy conditions.
People can be very similar to plants. We develop a mass of little systems and habits in our lives to help us survive and grow when things are going well. Still, these can stop serving us when conditions get tough, making us less resilient and less vulnerable to the external environment.
The ideal would be to develop a strong and anchored system similar to that of a taproot, where we can thrive and build up reserves to help us continue to grow and flourish, regardless of the conditions around us.
And so the name for my business was born, and I help people develop their Taproot.
