Being Well at Work

Organisations/teams and group wellbeing initiatives

You spend your days supporting everyone else and can feel the cost, but you’re not sure how to change things without letting people down.
You know something has to give – your energy, health or joy – and you’d rather redesign life and work than wait for a crisis to decide for you.
You want space to think, feel and be honest, with someone who understands the realities of high-responsibility roles and caring professions.
You’re a coach or leader who wants your practice to be nourishing, sustainable and ethical for you as well as impactful for the people you serve

For organisations who…

  • Want to move beyond tickbox wellbeing and create evidence informed spaces where people can talk honestly about what’s really going on.
  • Have leaders who know their teams are caring, high responsibility humans and want to protect capacity and resilience, not just hit performance metrics.
  • Are ready to experiment creatively with how they look after their people, making wellbeing part of everyday work, not a once a year initiative.

How we might work together

Workshops & programmes

  • One off, interactive workshops (e.g. MOT4U) with simple takeaway tools for team meetings or away days.
  • Structured programmes to help teams build a workplace where people can work well – including the TRAVEL for business model
  • Hybrid “being well at work” and coaching programmes, tailored to your people and context.

For Coaches who…

  • want a creative, non-judgemental space to explore your practice, with an experienced coach supervisor who helps you see what’s working and encourages you to grow with your uniqueness.
  • are looking for spacious, imaginative reflection on what’s impacting your coaching right now—client dynamics, your own patterns, and how sustainable your practice really feels.
  • know that practising what you preach matters, and you want supervision, mentor coaching or CPD that weaves creativity and wellbeing through your being, not just competencies

Supervision

Supervision is dedicated space to look at you AND your coaching practice, not just do more of it.
It combines reflection, care for you and your clients, and professional assurance, so you can
keep growing as a coach and sustaining your practice.

The key difference from executive coaching is the focus on your practice and ethical robustness,
not your role or goals.

With me, supervision feels like a nourishing, unhurried meal we savour together: we choose to
work together thoughtfully, explore what’s really on your mind, and cocreate what’s needed each
time.

Curious what that would be like for you? Let’s talk.

Mentor Coaching

Mentor coaching is observed coaching with clear, constructive feedback against professional
competencies. It’s designed to stretch your coaching, surface blind spots and sharpen your edge.
We work in a relationship of mutual trust and respect, with one central focus: your development
as a coach. You’ll leave with specific insights, new possibilities and practical shifts you can apply
immediately with your thinkers.

If you’re ready to grow your practice and your confidence, book a conversation.

TRAVEL Coach Training Programmes

TRAVEL is a multifaceted model you can integrate into both your coaching practice and your way
of being in work and life. It offers an ecosystem for your coaching world – rooting your work in
wellbeing, reflection and sustainable growth.

Want to explore whether TRAVEL is right for you or your coaches? Let’s have a chat.

Hi, I’m Sheela and I’ll likely be your coach, I founded bluegreen coaching.

If your needs call for someone else, I’ll help you work out what kind of expert to look for and where to start.

Coach Sheela helps people in high-responsibility caring roles—doctors, teachers, healthcare professionals, leaders in education—give themselves the same care and attention they give to those they serve.

If you're facing burnout, exhaustion, or wondering "is this it for my life?"—coaching with Sheela helps you redesign life and work before crisis decides for you.

Based on the stunning Dorset coast in Poole, England, Sheela brings evidence- based expertise, lived experience, and creative courage to her coaching practice.
Her work is rooted in a simple but powerful belief: when you feel well, you lead well—and life becomes something to thrive in, not just survive.

As a Coach Supervisor and Mentor Coach, with associated credentials from ICF and AC, she holds space for coaches to reflect and grow.

You can find out more about her on LinkedIn or on her Community Pages

Global Research on Coaching & Wellbeing

As a pracademic, Sheela is contributing to the growing evidence base for professional coaching.

The Study

In 2021, Sheela was awarded a prestigious research grant from the proceeds of The Coaching Science Practitioners Handbook to lead a groundbreaking global study exploring which elements of resilience and wellbeing are impacted by workplace coaching.

Study Design

  • 60 credentialed coaches across the globe
  • 1 client per coach | 5 one-hour workplace coaching sessions
  • Inclusion of a control group
  • Longitudinal data collected at 3 and 6 months post coaching
  • Validated measures: PERMA model (Positive emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, Accomplishment) and StressScan

The MOT4U Model: Creative Wellbeing Design

One of Sheela's most innovative contributions is the MOT4U programme—an ICF- approved flagship model that uses the metaphor of a vehicle to explore wellbeing in a simple, engaging, and deeply meaningful way.
Just as cars need regular MOT checks, so do people. The MOT4U model invites individuals, teams, and organisations to design their own "vehicle for wellbeing," assessing which parts need attention, for example;

  • Steering Wheel — Who's in control? Where are you heading?

It's creative, accessible, and effective—participants describe it as "brilliant," "inspiring," and "genius" for making conversations about wellbeing feel safe, fun, and meaningful.

The TRAVEL Framework

Alongside MOT4U, Sheela has developed the TRAVEL framework—a coaching and development model built around six stages: Tune in, Reflect, Assess, Voyage, Explore, and Launch. It's used by coaches, leaders, and teams for structured yet flexible conversations that support growth, reflection, and action.

For….people who…

  • give a lot to others and want a spacious, honest place to say what’s really going on, with a coach who uses creativity to help things surface safely.
  • are ready to look at themselves with curiosity, and are open to using creative experiments and reflection to notice patterns, strengths and blind spots.
  • value thought provoking, imaginative conversations that gently challenge them and turn new insights into practical shifts in how they live and work
