“My success helps everybody – my failure helps nobody!”
When I started the life coaching sessions I soon realised that it was not quite what I thought it would be – it ended up being so much better. The process enabled me to discover a lot of new things about myself, I learnt techniques for managing myself during challenging times and it enabled me to view life from a different perspective. I got the change I wanted without a recipe but through tools and discovery.
