215 Time for a Change with Shelley Bridgman

Working with teenagers and young people who are self-harming, suicidal, struggling with their gender identity and finding that life has just got too difficult, Performance and Transformational Change Coach, Shelley Bridgman provides them with the tools of hope they need. Without the vocabulary to articulate what she was going through, Shelley knew from the age of five who she really was. Suppressing it, always nagging away, it was decades later before Shelley was able to remove the mask and reveal her truth. Now Shelley explores the gifts she has to help others to be true to themselves when it is time for a change.   KEY TAKEAWAY "One thing I've learned from working with people who are on the edge is that they usually don't really want to die but they just cannot figure out how to live and it's a really important distinction."   ABOUT SHELLEY BRIDGMAN As a Performance and Transformational Change Coach, Shelley uses her knowledge of psychology, psychotherapy and hypnotherapy as well as her earlier experience running three businesses.   Shelley performed five one-woman shows at the Edinburgh Festival, wrote and co-starred in a BBC sitcom and performed a one-woman show in Rome and for a seven-night run off-Broadway in New York. These days though speaking has taken over from comedy. In 1997, Toastmasters International recognised Shelley as one of the top two 'humorous' speakers in Great Britain.
