From an idea to a strong woman on a mission

When I first met with Louise I had come up with a great idea for a business but I lacked the self-confidence and direction to get started.  This was difficult for me because before I had children I had a been very confident woman with a successful career.

Louise was encouraging yet at the same time challenging and not afraid to talk about difficult areas and ask tough questions.  On our very first meeting we tackled some very deep rooted issues.  As a result, I was able to see very clearly what I needed to change to make the first step to make space in my life for work as well as family.  By our second meeting I had dealt with the largest barrier and had the confidence to allow my business idea to become reality.

I was surprised at how fast I was able to move toward my goals once my mindset had shifted.  I arrived at each session having made significant progress since our last. Each month we worked in small steps toward my end goal.

Then, after a few months, I hit a block. This came as a surprise to me as up to that point I felt like I was charging ahead.  Louise helped me to realise that I just needed to make small adjustments to what I offer my customers to fit better with my personality. My mind set changed and I could see how things would work.

Six months after our first meeting and I am a world away from where I was, both in self-confidence and professionally.  I have a business model that fits around my family life and can grow as my children become more independent.  I have moved from having a business idea, to a strong woman on a mission.

Enabled me to feel incredibly ready for a job change…

I would like to thank you for the coaching you have given me. Your style and method is very effective, helping me to refocus my energies and complete some goals in my busy life.

You asked the right questions to lead me to consider where I was heading and what I wanted to do. The questions asked were instrumental in my focus and having to answer them honestly and out loud truly gave me the inspiration and helped me find my way.  This enabled me to feel incredibly ready for a job change when it was presented to me.

I felt completely at ease with you and really enjoyed each session, a particular session where you asked me to focus on a point in the future and how I would feel, really helped me to shape the first 100 day plan when I stated a new job.

Your coaching was the start of my journey into feeling more career focussed again and helped me to feel confident with the changes which were presented to me.

Thank you so much

You managed to get me to dig inside myself to find what is really important to me’

Following the conclusion of our Coaching sessions I wanted to drop you a line to both congratulate and thank you for helping me to unlock some mental blocks within both my personal and professional journey. With your help I really feel as though I have more focus and energy to pursue the avenues in my life that I perhaps had not focused on for far too long.

In a short space of time you managed to get me to dig inside myself to find what is really important to me and to be perfectly honest it was a lot less painful than I thought it might be.

I also thought it was great the way you closed our last session with that great cliff-hanger, for the next potential instalment of my move forward, not to mention ascertaining which direction to go in – again professionally and personally.
