"The Work Life Balance workshop made me pause and take stock. It was really brilliant at making me realise what my REAL priorities should be - full of pertinent insights into the causes of stress etc. and practical ways of dealing with them, all delivered with enthusiasm and humour. I ended the day with renewed resolve which has not been diluted since. The workshop will change the way you think and act"

"The workshop was an excellent opportunity to put values,
personal goals and actions at the heart of what I do, in
place of imposition, deadlines and reaction."
The Headteacher, Sherwin Knight Junior
School
"The one day Work Life
Balance workshop followed by six individual sessions
enabled me to clarify my thoughts., prioritise what most
mattered and plan realistic, healthy targets. Work no
longer controls my life."
Headteacher, Horstead Infant School
"I found the coaching sessions very helpful. They
provided a stimulus for developing more effective ways of
working and helped in clarifying my thinking about my
current working practices and the ways in which I want, or
need, to develop. Discussions were thought
provoking and led me to examine and review routines and
working habits which had become inefficient or
disorganised. Undertaking a series of sessions meant that
there were opportunities to follow through on ideas and
gave an incentive to try out plans between sessions. I feel
that I am working more productively now and am establishing
more productive and sustainable ways of
working."

PERSONAL COACHING CLIENTS
"Your questions have been really incisive and have
helped me think through my own muddled thoughts. You seemed
to know exactly what question to ask at precisely the right
moment. You are also really gifted at picking up on my
feelings and phrasing that into a poignant question for me.
I have really valued our sessions.”
Amanda
"I have to write you a
glowing testimonial, because I do think that you literally
changed my life. I particularly benefitted from your
analogies, and I always imagine the dark clouds coming and
saying "thank you for that!" and pushing them away. I feel
much lighter and much more secure in myself. I have a new
confidence which comes from feeling lighter, letting go of
past events that were weighing me down, and re-discovering
all my good qualities. I feel a lot calmer and have a new
sense of harmony inside. I now feel that external things
can come along and shake me from the outside, but they
won't shake me from within anymore.
You were very very caring, compassionate, empathetic and
maternal towards me. It honestly made the world of
difference. I was glad when you stopped being a coach and
became a mentor, as I always wanted to hear your opinion
about things and wanted to ask you lots of questions as you
really understood how I was feeling and could give me
advice.
I will always be grateful for everything you did, all your
cards and texts were lovely, because they were beyond the
call of duty and definitely made me feel assured that I had
someone to talk to and someone who believed in me. If you
hadn't been as good a coach as you were, my life would be
very different and definitely much darker. And you never
gave up on me! Even when I wanted to and I was so tired
from struggling.
I hope we stay in touch. Thank you for all that you did for
me.
With very best wishes"

"When I met you on 22nd April 2005 I had absolutely no
confidence and constantly referred to myself as
"crap", caused by my self-limiting belief
that I wasn't good enough. For nearly 40 years I had
cared too much about what other people thought of me and
was virtually paralysed by my inability to function in any
social situation. You had so much belief in my ability to
change into a confident person that I dared to believe that
it was possible too. You celebrated every achievement with
me and filled me with enthusiasm for the next step. You
helped me to imagine what life would be like when I
believed that I was good enough and now, thanks in part to
the gift that you gave me, I am good enough! I can never
thank you enough for gently encouraging me to become the
confident woman that I am now.
During the coaching sessions you gave me constructive
feedback in such a way that I was easily able to be
objective about my own performance and you filled me with a
desire to seek excellence as a coach. When you coached me I
felt empowered and enthusiastic about the great potential
that I realised I possessed.
I now count you as a friend and know that you are a warm
and wonderful person. It has truly been an honour to have
you play a part in my life."
