Read what some of our clients have to say.

Catherine D

I was extremely sceptical about being coached.

There are a million charlatans all over social media claiming to have solutions to change your life etc., also I'm quite jaded at this state of my life and felt totally blocked in my career. With my entrepreneurial background, fitting myself into entry-level and repetitive jobs working with those content to tread water almost guarantees failure, because I don’t think like they do and they interpret that as a lack of interpersonal skills on my behalf, when really I’m trying to soar like an eagle away from the turkey pen. I knew I was going around in circles and needed an unbiased person to pull me out of it. I have a decent toolbox of skills already and I knew the coach would need to be agile and capable, rare qualities to find.

So, it was a pleasant surprise to talk to somebody with a wealth of life experience, smarts and uncommon sense.

Yvette's coaching restored my faith in myself.

She points out where I have catastrophised my situation, and then she gets me to actively seek my answers within. Yvette helped me get a plan of action together, with clear steps for tangible results including the Why, What and Where, then part of the How.

I recommend Yvette and think she would be an ideal coach for anyone who is stuck in a rut career-wise or needing direction to figure out their next step, for people who need to build their confidence, those who are feeling a bit lost or are working hard but not seeing the results, those with burn out, and those who need a hand to not let the music die within them.

Thanks Yvette!!

I am open to learning and recognised that I needed some help, and I found that getting assistance for my business through Yvette’s coaching has helped immensely.

Not just because it made me accountable for my choices and actions, but also because the encouragement and information Yvette delivered has really helped my headspace and my drive towards achieving goals. Instead of focusing on the things preventing my development or seeing obstacles, Yvette presented different viewpoints for self-assessment, she understood my personal challenges and then helped me see those challenges as benefits, to try different ways and to see alternative avenues that assist my goals, especially ones I would never have thought of before – it has been so good for my attitude and stretching my abilities into new spaces.

As a result, I have already had an increase in sales, a major confidence boost and increased energy to continue working on making my dreams come true.

I highly recommend Yvette’s coaching to anyone, probably before you realise you need it.

To start with, I was feeling overwhelmed, as I was constantly putting others before myself, which led to being exhausted. I was juggling being a mother, wife, employee and friend, with little to no time given to myself as I had so many things to keep afloat.

I was very curious about coaching as I had not done it before, but I do know people who are coaches and who are being coached. From this I sort of knew what to expect and was very excited to see what my experience with this would be. I am always interested in learning new things, especially about myself. I get joy and fulfillment when supporting friends and loved ones to grow into their best selves and wanted to be able to focus on also doing this for myself.

By working with Yvette in my coaching sessions, I found that I was not great at prioritising myself. To change I started to look at my daily activities, and what fundamentally mattered to me so I could look at how to change my current way of doing things. This allowed me to re-shape and re-think and how I was prioritising my life. I started by setting little goals like removing habits I didn’t need e.g. time spent on social media, to focus on things I love like cooking and spending time with loved ones. These little changes gave me a sense of joy and made me realise that I didn’t need to make big changes, that lots of little ones made a difference. I now feel empowered to change ‘old habits’ as I am feeling the positive effects they are having on me each day.

I would recommend Yvette to anyone who feels a little stuck and feels like they need to make a change. Yvette is great at reading a situation, and is pragmatic and empathetic, allowing her to guide you through a
situation. The prompts, questions and activities that Yvette and I worked
through allowed me to not only address the sensation I had of feeling
overwhelmed and exhausted, but also gave me tools to work with that gave me incentive and structure on how I can continuously grow.

I didn't really understand what the coaching process involved, or what benefits there might be, but I knew that I was ready to make some changes in my life, I just wasn't sure exactly what they were or how to go about it. I decided to find someone who could guide me and give me a structure to work within, with tangible goals and practical tools to help me define the changes I wanted, how to go about making them and how to hold myself accountable.

Working with Yvette has been both illuminating and rewarding, I have been able to identify what's working well for me and what no longer serves a purpose, how to make changes and prioritise the important things in my life, not just the urgent things. I'm learning more every session, like the benefits of having a growth mindset, how to be more present and connected, and how to better understand those around me. It's an investment in yourself, and one that I am truly grateful to be able to make.

From the outset, I was never sceptical or unsure about being coached, I have used a number of coaches over the years to support my personal
and business growth.

After the pandemic and post-retirement, I lost many social connections and withdrew into myself, rarely leaving the house and
avoiding larger gatherings, I grew comfortable in my solitude.

I have over the past few years undergone a remarkable physical transformation but was scared to share my success online because of
previous abuse and harassment.

When I began working with Yvette, I did not have a specific goal in mind, just that I needed to improve some aspects of my life, I
thought I would work on a couple of small issues, and we would be done… ended up being a couple of deep issues.

Yvette quickly understood my situation and employed multiple techniques and exercises to identify my core concerns and develop a
roadmap forward.

Yvette has given me tools and techniques to help with my personal growth; she has shared some of her own experience in a genuine and
relatable way and created an environment in which I felt both safe and
empowered. Working with Yvette has allowed me to move beyond my
fear of criticism and judgment by others, and to step forward into unforeseen opportunities.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Yvette as a coach for anybody looking to expand or grow in both business and their personal pursuits.
