Celebrating Your Successes
Cherry Claus’s Story – A coach follows her own advice!
Coach: Cherry ClausNow, I believe as a coach in walking my talk. Last year, I was in a position where I was very happy with my life, doing the work that I love, coaching people to increase their confidence, move forward or change careers and attract or improve relationships. I had realised one part of my vision and was about to take steps to realise another.
Whenever anyone asked me what I really wanted I would say, “I want to move to the country and have a couple of pigs, a horse and …
Julie’s Story
My name is Julie. I wasn’t even looking for a book but in February of this year something told me I had to buy “Be Your Own Life Coach”. So I did.
And my life changed from that moment on.
I already had plans to move from Scotland to England to start my own business but they were kind of flailing as was I. The pressure was too much, the stress was too ’stressful’ and I didn’t know if I could believe enough in myself to actually do it.
I’m a 32-year-old single mum with …
Joy’s Story
Coach: Fiona HarroldNote from Fiona
The wonderful Joy Baptiste contacted me a few months ago explaining how she wanted to fulfil her childhood ambition of being a Stylist. Looking at the outstandingly successful career she had enjoyed in the legal profession, I worried. On paper it was a dramatic leap. She arrived on my doorstep. I took a deep breath and opened my door to the most groomed, innately stylish woman I’d ever seen in my life! She was a born stylist.
Joy’s Story
My earliest memory of fashion and styling is watching my mother, …
Anton’s Story
Coach: Fiona HarroldIf someone had told me 2 months ago that I’d be seeing a life coach, taking flower remedies and reading heavy books on NLP I’d have laughed! And what made this momentous change in my life? A chance encounter with my ex-girlfriend that’s what! And we never even spoke…she was in her car and I was in mine and she never even saw me.
It had a profound effect on my life. I’d blanked out the terrible mistake I’d made when we split up 2 years previously. Assumptions and thoughts that …
Kate’s Story
18 months ago, I had moved to a new area, away from friends and family to a new job and it was all very daunting! I had always considered myself a dynamic, enthusiastic, confident individual and was therefore shocked when I suddenly seemed unable to cope. The job I had taken had really been an escape from a previous life and job where I was immensely unhappy, I see now that although it started me on a new journey, I was in fact running away from several issues.
As I hit …
Rachel’s Story
It must be about 18 months since I first read Fiona’s book “Be Your Own Life Coach”. I spotted it while looking for something interesting to read in the local book store. Once started I could hardly put it down & have since reread it at least 5 times.
I realised immediately that I need to make changes to my life. I was involved in an organisation which I had felt for a while was draining my energy & happiness. Within a week I had confronted the issues & was on my …
Katherine’s Story
If I had a pound for every time someone said to me “I always wanted to be a vet, you’re so lucky!”, I would be wealthy now! I know I was lucky, it was a fulfilling and interesting job and I loved it, so why did I change?
Because life changes. Even the most apparently interesting job can become routine and dull and I found that the only way I could move to more interesting work within my profession was to relocate, possibly even to another country. I didn’t want to …
Rita Hamill’s Story
As a professional actor in the business for over 10 years, I had become disillusioned with my own choices of income whilst ‘resting’. None of my ‘resting’ jobs could match the thrill and excitement I felt when I stepped in front of a camera or walked on stage; a feeling of knowing I’m doing exactly what I should be doing in this life. I then started to play safe, heaven knows an actor’s career can be quite unpredictable. I took safe jobs in offices knowing I wouldn’t be challenged so …
