There is so much more in my power than I thought

I knew that things needed to change. Despite having a responsible job, I felt afraid of what other people thought and struggled to take tough decisions.  My life was stressful, too busy, and I had forgotten how to enjoy myself.  I wanted to become a confident, positive leader in my professional life and to live life more fully.

Elizabeth helped me look at what was important to me and how to make my priorities reflect that.  She showed me some practical time and diary management techniques which helped me use my time better and feel less stressed.  I learnt how to deal assertively with others, how to face and challenge my own fears and assumptions, and how to set realistic expectations of myself.  I discovered how to be the real me and how balancing my life better meant I could achieve better.

Through the coaching I’ve taken control of my diary, which means I have time for my professional commitments and my personal life.  I’ve learnt to stand up to others and to say ‘no’ without losing their respect or allowing guilt to take over. I am now able to lead others positively at work, and have the fun back in my life.

This has been really important.  There is so much more in my power than I thought.  Elizabeth’s coaching has helped me lead a much more effective and fulfilled life.  I feel more in control of my life and more able to find the solutions I need.  I feel resourced for my journey.  I feel greatly affirmed as a person.  Above all I have been listened to, taken seriously and helped by someone who knows how to hear and respond.
