The Many Names I’ve Worn What’s in a name? Sometimes everything. In this reflective post, I explore how my changing name shaped my identity — and how coaching helped me make peace with every version of myself.

What’s in a name? A story, a season, a self. In my latest blog, I reflect on the many names I’ve worn — and how coaching helped me rediscover who I truly am.

When the Shoes No Longer Fit: Embracing the Natural Call to Change Sometimes we stay in things that no longer serve us — a job, a role, a rhythm — simply because they once felt right. But nature never questions when it’s time to change. What if we allowed ourselves to do the same?

When the shoes no longer fit, it’s time to take them off. We outgrow jobs, roles, even versions of ourselves. Change isn’t failure — it’s growth. 🌱 New blog post now live: When the Shoes No Longer Fit → tinyvoicetalks.com/blog #TinyVoiceTalks #CoachingForChange

Why Feeling Lost Might Be the Beginning of Finding Yourself Feeling lost isn’t a failure — it’s often a quiet invitation to rediscover yourself. In this heartfelt piece, coach and educator Toria Bono explores why moments of uncertainty can be powerful turning points, and how coaching can help you find clarity, confidence and a renewed sense of direction.

Feeling lost doesn’t mean you’ve failed — it might be the start of finding yourself.
My latest blog post is for anyone navigating change, uncertainty or life shifts. #TinyVoiceTalks #Coaching #PersonalGrowth #FeelingLost

Morning all.

I’m investigating whether retrieval cues work in the classroom to support learning and build schemas.

If you use these, can you let me know what you do please? I want to build a bank of ideas to try out.

At this time of year, the work increases and wellbeing can decrease. What do you do to keep yourself feeling good both physically and mentally?

Dropping son off at uni. Probably have to find an IKEA as his room has a glass (why?!) table and he doesn’t want to put his massive computer on it. It’s going to be a busy day. #TinyVoiceTalks #EduSky

How’s everyone’s Saturday looking. Mine is Pilates followed by the theatre. #EduSky
