About Solid

About Solid!

Solid! thinking for Solid! results!

 Solid! is inspired by the people and community leaders we've worked with over the last 17 years.  We've had the privilege of working with some great people who’ve made huge changes in their personal lives and for their  communities – in many cases against a background of financial hardship, and physical and emotional challenges that would have deterred many.

It’s this spirit that we bring to the coaching and training programmes that will inspire people’s passion and drive to create positive change and direction, whether it’s for personal, community or business success.

Solid! is for individual people, community groups, voluntary organisations, the public and private sectors.

Sarah Lee

I’m the Director of Solid! I have a post graduate certificate in Personal and Business Coaching, am a Master Practitioner in NLP and an experienced trainer. I’m a member of the National Council of Psychotherapists and the Coaching Circle and I’m committed to their professional code of ethics.

I have 17 years experience of developing leaders, teams and projects in the Theatre and Entertainment Industry and the Community, Voluntary and Public Sector.

Samantha Parish

I'm the Executive Director. I'm also qualified as an Early Years Practitioner and Adult trainer. I have over 25 years experience of working with children, young people and their families. I have a particular interest in empowering people to become more aware and involved in making an impact on their own situation.

I have a Certificate in Education and have taught in Secondary, Further and Adult Education. I've set up parent forums and worked with Local Authorities, Health Authorities and Education departments as well as charities and private companies to develop parent involvement in the lives of their children.

On a personal note being mum to 3 children keeps me busy - but I do find time to enjoy singing and amateur dramatics in my spare time.
