Exhausted by her current work situation, Jane used executive coaching to find her light at the end of the tunnel.
MY CHALLENGE
I contacted Kate at a time when I was under immense pressure and struggling to find balance at work. I knew I needed support to cope with my situation and thought that coaching, particularly from someone independent, might help.
“I feel much calmer and prepared for what the future holds”
THE COACHING
When we started our coaching relationship I felt stuck and physically and mentally drained. At first I found it hard to put my feelings into words. Kate gently coached me through this blockage and gave me a different perspective on my situation. As the sessions went on, I began to feel more comfortable discussing my challenges and more able to express what I was thinking and how I was feeling. Midway through our sessions things at work changed, so Kate acted swiftly to refocus and reset our coaching objectives. I really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to reschedule sessions to fit in with my new situation. We focused on confidence-building and Kate encouraged me to explore the different career options available.
WHAT THE CLIENT SAYS…
Kate is a very empathetic, positive and understanding coach. She picks up on the tiny details other people may not notice and always challenges the reasons behind your perspectives. We chatted about my issues and goals and Kate talked me through the process, giving me clear picture of what was involved. I’ve come out of the sessions feeling mentally stronger and with increased confidence. I feel much calmer about what the future holds and prepared for it when it happens. Kate and I still have the odd catch-up to discuss how things are going and I know she is there if I need her.
