Testimonials
I started working with Liz because I felt stuck in my job and was not sure how to move on. Or, rippling out from that, what my career possibilities might actually be, given my domestic caring responsibilities. Or whether, actually, I wanted to pursue a different profession entirely. Or a ‘portfolio’ career. Or to leave ‘career’ aside, focussing instead on re-visiting long-buried interests and exploring brand new possibilities.
Liz has supported me in taking a wide ranging and creative look at my life and my work, and to set aside self-imposed barriers to progress towards a more genuine understanding of how - within the limits imposed by my domestic obligations - to make choices which are most nourishing for me personally, regardless of (actual or perceived) external pressures about what ought to be important and what activities are worth dedicating energy to.
When I embarked on four sessions of coaching with Liz, I was keen to make the most of the opportunity but unsure as to how much could actually be achieved in a relatively short time. Whilst Liz was always very clear that our sessions would mark the start of a life-long piece of work, it turns out that in just those four sessions Liz supported and facilitated some very challenging work that has already had a real and significant impact on my daily life.
Our work together enabled me to identify the barriers and limitations that I have placed on my development and self-confidence to date and take some simple, practical and effective steps to understand and overcome them. This has already had tangible benefits, including empowering me to manage difficult situations in the workplace that would have caused significant anxiety previously and also allowing myself greater freedom in decision-making in my personal life.
Do not become so attached to any one belief that you cannot see past it to another possibility.
I met with Liz on several occasions after she was recommended to me. I was struggling with work and to a certain extent home and felt I needed some support and clarity. Liz instantly put me at ease which meant that each time we met I was relaxed and felt able to talk about my concerns or worries. Liz offered practical support and small tasks to focus me, she made each session different and often fun. I would recommend Liz if you are feeling in a bit of a rut and want a bit of time focusing on yourself and your needs in a busy life.
As I stepped up to my first senior leadership role I was lucky to have Liz to help me on my journey. She provided me with support and guidance that gave me the confidence to understand and trust myself. She's kind and talented and I would recommend her to anyone who would needs to find their own answers and solutions.
I had several coaching sessions with Liz and I found them to be really helpful, both in my business and personal life. It was definitely a voyage of learning and self discovery for me, with a few revelations along the way, but I felt we sailed on this voyage together! Liz was a huge support and was able to guide me gently and skilfully using her years of knowledge and life experience - suggesting various books that might be helpful or perhaps simple ‘homework tasks’ that enabled me to learn more about myself. Although initially I needed some help and guidance with regard to my work situation - our discussions together led us to explore several other avenues - looking at the core of my underlying beliefs about myself and how they affect my day to day life. This enabled me to make positive changes in my life moving forward.
I found that talking was always easy with Liz, her non-judgemental approach to any given subject, made it very comfortable for me to talk openly about anything that came up. Liz showed amazing intuition and patience - understanding completely when our discussions led us off at tangents from time to time, indeed these were some of the most helpful learning experiences! I wholeheartedly recommend coaching with Liz and would be more than happy to chat to anyone considering enlisting her help with any issues.
