PERSONAL COACHING

Focus Your Direction in Life

The purpose of coaching is to improve performance and quality of life.  It is an interaction that promotes clarity of purpose, accurate recognition of situations, identification of possible solutions and commitment to the chosen action steps.

A coach is there to bounce ideas off, challenge, hold you accountable, assist in setting goals, provide support and encouragement during times of transition, and make a world of difference.

I have a good understanding of my clients' needs in today's busy world. 

As a coach, I aim to bring more meaning, purpose and quality into the lives of my cleints, creating more balance, happiness and enjoyment.  This is a journey we undertake together as a team.

Coaching gives you the vehicle to define goals/issues you want to work on and develop an action plan for you to implement to create tangible results.  Through this process, any obstacle (limiting beliefs, fears, lack of confidence etc.) are brought into awareness, addressed and overcome.  Options are explored and actions forward are created, all the time focusing on the outcome you want to achieve. Moving from surviving into living then into thriving.

Coaching can be of great value to you on a personal level, helping you attain a more satisfying work-life balance, feeling connected to who you really are and bringing that into your life in a realistic and tangible way enhancing all areas of your life.

BENEFITS TO THE INDIVIDUAL

• More value and balance in your daily life.

•  A totally confidential and impartial coach committed to your personal advancement.
   
• A safe environment in which to explore the possibilities - there is no limit once you tap into your own potential and learn how to use it!

"Coaching sessions with Suzanne have been extremely valuable in helping me reassess my life and what it was that I wanted to get out of it. They have been instrumental in helping me realise, and remember, that ultimately I am responsible for my thoughts, feelings and what I let into my life and this has really helped me to sit back and revaluate what it is that I really want to be doing, and where I really want to be going. 

It was clear early on in my sessions with Suzanne that I was working for a company that did not fit with my personal values and beliefs, and through working with her I was able to determine the type of company I wanted to work with and for. Suzanne gave me valuable advice and support as I entered the job hunting and interview process and gave me guidance through my resignation and signing up with a new company. I really feel that through coaching with Suzanne I have gained a lot of insight about who I am, what I stand for and what I want.  Coaching has opened my eyes and made me realise that I really can influence my own destiny. I highly recommend working with Suzanne to anyone".

Thank you Suzanne for the wonderful Personal Coaching.  It has been three years since we first met, and the journey I have been on during this time is breathless.  It is so hard to put into words the difference between Sue now and Sue 3 years ago.

When we first met, I did not realize the impact my childhood influenced me along with the fear I was carrying.  I was the nice person who did everything for everyone else, which tied me up into a tight tangled ball.  By grounding me with such tenderness, then guiding me to have courage without aggression has now given me the tools to live my life the way I want to live it.  The anger and internal aggression was given out of commitment rather than a true willing heart.

I had the today’s ‘normal’ statistical childhood, which I carried like a yoke.  You broke off my rear vision mirrors, which has allowed me to go forward, see ahead without feeling as though I am walking on broken glass all the time – pain.

Your guidance taught me to take control of my own feelings, take ownership and responsibility.  No blame, they are my feelings – my responsibility.  Also take control of my own life, it is my life therefore my responsibility.

 You taught me to love within, give myself treats and rewards.  The past interfered and influenced my present.  I felt I always had to be the one with the answers, problem solve, and to soothe family members and people. 

Now I listen, and then allow them to solve their own problems and to live their own lives, this is freeing for me – thank you.

The freedom I have found, courage has grown.  This is evident when having the courage to learn new skills.  I do not find mistakes as failures (therefore whip myself for failing) any more, mistakes to me now I embrace and see them as tools and I can even laugh at myself for making mistakes.

When we met I was trying to study, as normal I kept putting everyone else’s needs first.  You taught me to put everything into correct order to achieve my goal.  Initially was so hard, gently you guided me and your methods worked!  

By gaining order in my life I now love my life’s journey, embrace the experiences and freedom.  At 53 years young, I am starting in a totally different employment environment which is scary yet it feels right.  I am not scared to make mistakes and throw myself into it.  I now realize I am not the only person on this planet to have survived this way.  I was never alone, even though it felt that way.
Thank you Suzanne
