The coaching sessions have been of enormous value to me, I’ve been pleasantly surprised.
Though I’ve always thought I’ve had a handle on my life, I’ve gained so much from just sitting down and talking through things properly, rather than trying to work everything out in my head. My thoughts can quickly stack up and it’s easy to get overwhelmed, but having someone there to listen and bounce off, has been so good for me. It’s really freshened me up mentally, and made sense of what I want to do, and in what order.
I felt the coaching had an immediate impact, from the moment I walked out of my first session. I admit I had a lot to get off my chest that first night, but straight away I felt that my mind was untangled and at ease.
Rather than just knowing what I wanted to achieve, I now had a better idea of how to make it happen. The coaching made me realise which things I should be putting my energy into, and what other matters I should simply let go of, things that often stress me out and slow me down. I’m aware that I worry about other people’s issues too much, when really I should chill out and concentrate on my own wellbeing. You quickly taught me that constantly worrying about the people around me won’t solve their problems, no matter how much I go over things in my head.
Each session had a ‘refresh button’ effect on my mind. I’d gradually let everything out, we could then talk about it, make sense of it all, grab the good bits, smooth out the bad bits, and make plans to continue moving forward rather than storing clutter.
Making thoughts into actions was the most rewarding part of the coaching, by far! I felt I made great progress with improving my working and personal life. When I begun our sessions, I was keen to step up my own stonework around my apprenticeship work, and I can proudly say I now have ‘Stellar Stoneworks’ up and running, and I owe you a massive thank you for all your encouragement. We recognised what needed to be done to set up my business, and step by step we made it happen!
I was well aware of what I needed to do, but talking about it during our sessions and then setting small goals made me actually do it, instead of just thinking about it. It’s now the real deal, and I’m able to move forward and enjoy the next challenge!
I would most certainly recommend you as a coach to others, no matter what type of person they are or what they may have on their mind. I didn’t realise how much I needed this experience, and I’m so grateful Janita. I didn’t know what to expect, but once I got talking, which I found very easy with you, it just flowed so well and you did such a great job of listening and responding. I’ve talked so highly of our sessions with friends and family, and will continue to do so without doubt, everyone can get something out of life coaching.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Janita! You’ve even inspired me to consider taking on life coaching myself one day, and you should take that as the best possible compliment one can receive.
