The most valuable message for me was how important "support" is in my life-attending group coaching you definitely receive this. Thoroughly enjoyed it and enjoyed the motivation/being positive/and the acknowledgement of my issues/thoughts no matter what they are, are very important because it is about me. Karen M. Bookkeeping & Recruiting Business

The most valuable message for me was that it's okay to ask for support, you are never alone during the course, also that with the right tools and Annette's support you can grow into the person you always knew was inside you. I thought it was fantastic, you get to share in everyone's journey and watch each other grow. Kieta H. – Draftsperson

Life coaching has become an essential part of my life. One of my values that I have been able to identify through coaching is to move forward in life. There are so many things in life that happen that I avoid to deal with, this stops me from moving forward and I don’t accept any other challenges that life presents. Due to this I feel I miss out on life itself. I get support through coaching which encourages me to take on lives challenges and in doing this move forward. L Van Delft - Assistant Financial Controller

Continued support is the main benefit I received from this series of group coaching. I’ve learnt that ‘selfish’ is actually a positive word in regards to looking after myself. I’m looking forwarding to benefiting from continued progress and support from ongoing coaching next year and beyond. Faye M - Civil Design Draftsperson

I found out that there are a lot of goals that are tangible to achieve, but my favourite outcomes were the intangible ones. I liked the support from the other participants as well as from Annette. Thank you. Dora - Community Artist

As you journey through life you sometimes feel that you have not achieved a great deal, it's not until you take the time to stop and reflect that you realise just how many great things you've done and experienced. Group coaching has allowed me to experience my own journey and the journeys of everyone in the group. You also come to realise that many of the feelings and thoughts you have which can make you feel isolated, are all natural and that everyone experiences similar thoughts at some point in their lives. The tools and encouragement from the group coaching lets your broaden your horizons and enjoy the journey that is life. Kieta H - Piping Designer

Life coaching has offered me a new way of life. I have learnt about boundaries and how to set and maintain them to have magical relationships with others. Life coaching has also given me the opportunity to discover a clearer sense of who I am, through identifying my needs and values, and bringing back into the foreground my greatest achievements and accomplishments. Meeting regularly, once a week, in such a supportive environment was the key to staying on track and achieving my goals. I would recommend Life coaching with Annette to anyone who wants to gain control of their life and start experiencing success. Sarah Flemmer - Teacher

Zone-In Group Coaching Testimonials

I found that the zone-in coaching kept me focussed and gave me the support I needed to keep me moving forward towards my goals. The hour session was short and sharp enough to fit in with my busy schedule. Many thanks Annette. Lisa - Full-time mum - part-time accountant

After completing the first 3 months and learning about my needs and values and attaining the goals that I set, the zone-in coaching for me helped me to focus on crossing boundaries and meeting needs. I became clearer more quickly in assessing situations and with the support of Annette and the group, acted more quickly gaining results, where before I would have 'sat on' a situation weighing up pro's and con's not understanding what it was really all about. I recommend the zone-in as a great method of practicing what has been learned previously in the group coaching.  Rebecca - Admin Officer - Academic Support

All my life I've lost myself in my relationships, fallen into jobs and reacted to life rather than choosing and creating the life I want. Through the process of identifying my values, goals and needs with Annette's perceptive guidance and unerring insights, I have been able for the first time to develop a clear sense of who I am, an awareness of, and strengthening of, my boundaries and a vision for where I want to be. Learning strategies for identifying and being proactive about creating what is important to me, gave me almost instant results and has given me the confidence that I can continue to make my dreams reality. Janine F - Co-ordinator of Volunteers
