That first session was just over three months ago; here are some of the results:

1. My wife and I are now happier together than we've ever been, we talk a lot, we're honest with each other, and we even have a laugh together.
2. The next thing I did was stop smoking, I had been smoking for 25 years.
3. I have improved my relationship with my Mum, it may never be great, but it can be ok.
4. My boss was manipulative and a bully, and in the end, despite lots of little victories, I realised that the best thing for me would be a new job. I start next week
5. My relationship with my kids, particularly my eldest son, which had at one time been like a war-zone, has improved dramatically.

To sum up then; coaching is not pink and fluffy (well certainly not the way Claire does it), and one thing is certain; you get out what you put in and if you don't want to work at it, then don't bother, you'll be wasting your time. But if you do, and you want results like mine, then coaching has to be the only show in town!

Things are going really well at the moment, I have had plenty of work but of course now I have moved I have to start all over again but somehow I don't think that is at all scary as it was the first time around.......Actually its not scary at all I'm looking forward to a new challenge, as if you would have heard me say that a year ago.......

Coaching with the Enneagram

During our 1:1 coaching sessions Claire has facilitated development of my understand of my personality through work with the enneagram and then explored other personality types. This has helped me to develop and manage my relationships with others especially with conflict management. The sessions are motivating and enlightening - thank you so much

It was good to have another session with you on Monday. As ever a really enjoyable session.

I would like to thank you for all the help you have given me over the past few months. I am feeling much more self-aware and, most importantly, much more comfortable with being who I am. The discussions we have had have helped me see the type of person I am and help me understand myself better and, I hope, play to my strengths more. Friends say I am much more resilient and, to a considerable degree, I feel much happier generally. This has also been commented upon. Above all the sessions have been great fun.

So thank you for your help. I look forward to continue working.

I have started to see parents in a different light!! I understand where they are coming from and why. With all that we went through in our session I think we both understand each other better all round!! In the last 2 weeks my whole life seems to have turned around, it all feels for the best. My self confidence has been boosted.

The Journey

A huge thank you Claire, for giving me my daughter back. I knew she was still in there somewhere - it just took your help to find her again.
Kate

I can't thank you enough for yesterday- I just thought I would let you know how its going...

I pretty much went straight to bed and had the best sleep I have had in years!

I had lunch with my husband today and we laughed together for the first time in ages and I realise how much I really love him. I knew I did but my heart actually skipped a beat when his car pulled up in the drive!

After a discussion with my husband he is very supportive of me coming again as he can see it's been so beneficial.

ps I have passed your details on to my friend who wants to make an appointment to see you.

I just had a message to say that Lucy is doing fine back at school thank you. The real test will be when the pressure is on, but she is certainly better equipped to deal with whatever comes up than she was before!
Claire

I am still feeling great, I have to pinch myself sometimes so that I know how I feel now is real.
Sue

I feel as though a light has switched on inside me and my heartfelt gratitude goes to Claire. The experiences she has taken me through know no bounds.

Workshops and Talks

I wanted to thank you for supporting the exchange by speaking so brilliantly last night. I think that the group gained huge insights into the Enneagram and I am sure that it will help those who attended with themselves and their coaching development.

The Coaching Exchange

A huge thank you for the most interesting workshop you presented recently fascinating information very clearly presented, it has certainly got me thinking! And I am definitely interested in pursuing the subject further.

Difficulties Overcome...

Weightloss

Although weight loss is not the be all and end all - a significant weight loss over a relatively short period of time and in relation to the amount I have to lose, great!
PS Have not mentioned my weight loss to anybody at home...wait and see if they notice!
GP

Amazing weight loss in just a few weeks! And I feel fantastic.

Thank you Claire for introducing me to the best diet I have ever tried, you changed my scepticism into enlightened advocacy of the diet and I know with your continued support I will remain slim, confident and very much happier with myself.

Flying phobia

Well, I'm here - am in Singapore and am not in need of medical treatment for panic attacks!! It really was ok!! I had no medication at all. I couldn't believe - and nor could my husband Jay how calm I was and not freaking out!!

We had some turbulence but I didn't shed one tear, didn't freak out or lose the plot. Jay was absolutely dumbstruck and I am so proud of myself too. Take off and landing came and went and I hardly even noticed, Jay was so pleased to land with the skin still on his hands!!

I just had to let you know am ok!!! THANKYOU SO SO SO MUCH !!!

Sporting Challenges

Al has just had absolutely his best game of the season so far and he asked me to e-mail and say a big thank you. He was the top scorer with 79 runs, took a catch and - he bowled! He only did 2 over's but he took 2 wickets, he did brilliantly and I'm so proud that he took the plunge and went for it. He said to tell you that he really listened to what you said and focused it in his mind first before bowling the ball, he's so chuffed with himself - and with you!
