With just days to go until Christmas and uncertainties building, we’re sure like us, you are hoping and praying that we all make without the last minutes changes of last Christmas. We thought we’d spend some time reflecting on the last term as we have many things to celebrate!
Here is a bit of what Colab has been up to since the summer …
Happy Birthday to us!
It was great to reach our first milestone as a business, we had a great time reflecting back and being thankful. Have a look through some of our highlights below.
Coaching : accreditation and new work spaces
After submitting her application back in August in December Rebi received her accreditation from the International Coaching Federation. Rebi is now an associate certified coach

It’s with great excitement that Rebi also joined 3D Coaching this term – joining them team as a self-employed associate. Rebi is working on their comms and will also be delivering coaching and training for them. It’s a brilliant organisation with fab ethos, offering amazing training and coaching across the globe. It’s a privilege for Colab to be working with them and we’re excited for this partnership.
Rebi continues to offer coaching sessions with new thinkers having sessions across the term. Do you need a space to think something through or work out how to move forward? Why not book in for a session in the new year? Email rebi@colab39.co.uk.

Space to Grow – Group Coaching
Sadly we didn’t gain enough participants for this to start this yet – but we’d still love to offer this – would this benefit you in 2022?
We are looking to gather like-minded people – who want a facilitated, encouraging and challenging space to coach and be coached within a small group. Like the sound of it? Get in touch.
Consultancy : co-workers in God’s field
We continue to work with Living Hope Church: providing admin & comms support. Throughout a touch year, it’s been great to share our skills with a local church and support them.

Our relationship with Enterprise Homes Group has continued as we wrote a training programme with them called ‘Navigate’. The programme focuses on developing self-awareness and freedom. We ran the first pilot of the programme during the autumn term with some of the staff team at EHG. It’s been great to see something from start to facilitation! There are plans to run ‘Phase 2’ in the new year, and we hope this programme will be something we can share further afield later on in 2022.
Sharing : events

Feeling thankful…
Hasn’t 2021 been a strange year! Over a third of it spent in lockdown, with the rest of the year trying to figure out life ‘out of lockdown’ but living with the realities of Covid. Although we have no idea what next year will hold, but we’re excited to see what doors continue to open for Colab – thank you for your support.
We’ll leave you with our latest blog posts – we’ve had brilliant guest blog series by Jess Ross this term – check out ‘Spiritual Mysteries’ (the last one will be released in the new year) and our advent reflections – are you ready to be interrupted this Christmas?

Spiders Web

Throwback to a freezing cold day in December – and our garden fence was adorned with spiders’ webs – it was absolutely stunning. And, like any millennial would, I instinctively took out my phone to capture the beauty before me. Later on, I’m scrolling back through my pictures and it suddenly occurred to me, the… Read more…

Values

I love Aldi and do you know why? Because they’ve taken (most) of the decision making out of my food shop. If I want pasta, I just grab the pasta, if I want baked beans, I buy baked beans – for the most part there are only ever one or two options of each food… Read more…
