Focal point moved me towards a better life…
Coaching has provided me with a focal point for both my work search and my move towards a better life for myself. It’s one thing to think about changing your habits and looking for work, it’s another one totally to have a coach who supports, guides and encourages your efforts, while offering concrete suggestions in areas you may not have thought of, or not known exists. –DP
Highly tailored to my individual needs…
Dana’s coaching has helped me clarify my career goals and carve my own path to achieving them. From my first question, Dana has provided clear, succinct advice and concrete tips on how to make the transition back into the workforce. Her action-oriented approach was efficient, versatile and highly tailored to my individual needs. She gives on-going support in an environment of trust and commitment to excellence. This continues to be an enriching and rewarding experience.
Regularly scheduled discussions over a 3 month period with a trained coach who is skilled in listening and in asking probing questions has resulted in increased self-awareness and new insights that have led to new energy and new directions for my life. Valuable tools have guided the process. –JS
[2 years later]…the wind beneath my wings.
I want you to know that your guidance first set me on the path towards realizing this dream, a seed that was first planted in our first meeting 2 years ago that has been nurtured bit by bit ever since.
Your encouragement over the years has given me the solid footing to take the important and necessary steps towards my vision and inspired me to believe that there really are no limits aside from those I set for myself, with perseverance and staying positive and take something from every experience. It is a testament to the philosophies you have imparted through your top-notch coaching services.
I thought you would be happy to know where your guidance has led me and am eternally grateful that I was given your wisdom and the opportunity to re-define myself through your services when I was in a major career cross roads stage of my life. Everything does happen for a reason and I truly believe that having you there to be part of the kick-start process to take that leap was one of my biggest life-defining moments and very appropriately so. It’s really amazing what hard work and persistence can do and it’s finally paying off!
Thank you again for your support. It has been the wind beneath my wings through the years. –GL
Used to be scared of making the wrong decision…
Coaching really helped me have a clearer vision of my goals and priorities. When we started working together, I felt totally confused about what career path I wanted to pursue and how to change my life around. Our regular talks really helped me realized that, deep down, I knew what I truly wanted to do and gave me the confidence to pursue my goal. I used to be scared of making the wrong decision. Now, I see the process as an opportunity to learn. –LM
Life is way more fun that it was 6 months ago and I’ve only started!
I contacted Dana about making the transition to retirement from the Public Service because I was having difficulty in moving forward on my own. Dana quickly honed in to the big picture and provided me with a fund of information and resources to help me in exploring options for the next stage of my life. I found that having made the commitment to working with her that I easily made decisions that had me stuck because with each decision the next step became clear. I enjoyed Dana’s enthusiasm, dedication to the client and pleasant, low-key manner that put me immediately at ease. I now have a plan to take me into the next year and should I find myself stuck again, I would not hesitate to contact her for additional coaching. My life is way more fun that it was 6 months ago and I’ve only started! –LV
[ 2 years later… ]
I’d like to thank you for your guidance two years ago in making this major decision. It’s still a bit scary, particularly at this moment as I get ready to completely make the break from a job I’ve held for 25 years! I’m now coming into the final stretch of my course and I have no doubt in my mind that I’m in the right field. –LV
Rewarding work that fits with my lifestyle…
Dana helped me to gain insight into the many things that were happening in my life as I prepared for retirement, and to look at my search for rewarding part-time work in the context of that whole-life situation. I have also been able to pass on the benefits of this learning exercise to friends. –MG
Surprised at the number of positive changes…
Dana and I have worked together to define my career goals more clearly and get me on a new path to success. I’ve been pleasantly surprised at the number of positive changes that she helped me make in my personal and home life as well. It’s been a very positive experience all around, thanks Dana! –JH
