Nurse, family-support professional and coach
Christine Hayward is introduced in The Path To A New You as a registered nurse and coach with experience in midwifery and Maternal and Child Health nursing. Her biography describes supporting children from birth to six and their families, with a particular commitment to parents of children with disabilities.
Her chapter, Unleash Your Full Potential, also draws on personal experience. Christine reflects on early fear, the pressure to hide parts of herself and the opportunities through which she learned resourcefulness and independence. Caring for children became an important source of meaning and confidence.
Christine connects that background with her interest in coaching people through transitions. New parenthood, changes in work and questions of self-worth all involve examining a familiar role and considering what support is needed for the next stage.
Her contribution brings family-support experience to a discussion of personal growth. It emphasizes the relationship between a parent's wellbeing and the environment around a child, while presenting her own story as one account of learning to act with greater confidence.
