I first spoke to Debra at a networking event in February 2007. At the time I was feeling pretty miserable because of a series of events which had happened to me. Debra suggested that I had a session with her to her to see if she could help me. After discussing some of my issues with Debra she explained how her personal coaching could help me. There was no hard sell – she genuinely wanted to make a difference. Although money was tight I signed up for her three months Power Package as I knew I wasn’t making any real progress on my own and if things continued as they were I would start to flounder.
It’s now four months on and I’m really seeing a very positive difference in my life. The whole coaching process is geared to making small, consistent steps forward rather than trying to take on one task which becomes overwhelming. Every week I am able to tick off my action points with a sense of accomplishment and if I don’t get something cleared that week Debra makes sure it’s on my list for the following week. Debra is never judgemental and is very encouraging and practical with her input when we examine a particular issue.
From my point of view, I have everything much more in perspective and I feel 100% happier than I did four months ago. It’s great to have someone alongside who can be absolutely objective and to whom I can sanity check my plans and put some realistic timescales on them.
I am delighted to recommend Debra as a coach and would be very happy to share my experiences of coaching with anyone who contacted me.
