Coaching Feedback
Overcoming fears and making plans
I wasn't sure what to expect from the coaching experience and I didn't expect it to be so focused on my own experiences, plans and fears. The coaching helped me build a specific plan for myself and outlined key areas that I needed to work on and how to approach them.
Space for exploration
I would normally feel very self-conscious talking in depth about my ambitions and ideals, but Kate has allowed me to feel relaxed and given me the opportunity to explore these subjects . I have been able to build confidence in thinking about tackling some the (self-imposed) barriers to eventual change.
Clarity and confidence
I am closer to recognising what my career ambitions actually are, and have more belief in the possibility of achieving them. I have also learned some useful questions to continually ask myself and exercises to help navigate thoughts and feelings.
