Through coaching I have come on leaps and bounds, and the confidence I now experience is not forced or faked, I know I am capable, I know I can find solutions, and am always able to deal with the outcome.
I am not sure I have ever felt so comfortable in my own skin.
Knowing I can make changes where I want to as a father, partner or employee, and I appreciate who I am and what I bring to all those areas of my life.
Coaching with Jules has simply been brilliant.
Whilst this is still a work in progress there has been a real shift and a major letting go over the past 6 months, that has had ripple effects in my life.
I would have described myself as someone who was dealing with imposter syndrome before working with Jules, but now it's just not a phrase I would use for how I feel. I am more conscious and grounded. I am more proactive and put things in perspective in a way that I have never done before. I even ask for help when needed!
Jules creates a truly safe space to explore what you need and means you are free to talk about what you need to. I am walking away with so much more than I expected.
I had seen Jules speak at a conference and decided to reach out for some one to one coaching. Having a trusted, safe and facilitated conversations have helped me bring about sustainable change. There has been a noticeable shift in how I share my voice heard in the boardroom, confidence is more consistent and I am no longer pressuring myself to be a certain way.
Conversations with my CEO and peers is different too now, as I have got to know myself better and am more curious about my responses to things, and not taking things personally. It's freeing. I am happier and even more resilient.
Working with Jules has enabled me to experience the glimmers more in life and remove a lot of the 'noise' that was making the day to day harder to get through. It's important to take time out, and have the challenging conversations in order to realise your own potential and gain clarity on who you are.
I've embraced coaching with Jules 1000%. I needed to do this because of where I was at, but I didn't expect this level of change.
95% of my working month when I started coaching was stressful mainly due to self-doubt and a continuous self-questioning of "am I doing the right thing". As a result of coaching sessions with Jules I have turned this on its head and would say I feel like stressed 5% of the time but this rarely due to self-doubt.
I have spent time in the last few sessions of my coaching programme with Jules, reflecting on what's changed, and to be honest, the list is long. I asked Jules for her methods to sustain these changes, but after discussing this with her, on reflection, I noticed what I have learnt, is now how I am living, and it just keeps embedding itself further and further.
I have noticed colleagues react to me differently and I am dealing with a pressurised work environment in a calmer way. I am more solution focused, whereas before I used to be lost and not know what to do.
I have a newfound freedom in that I can live "in the now", rather than focusing on what I did yesterday or what will happen tomorrow.
And that's what I would describe how I am living now, in ultimate freedom.
I'd go so far as to say that I love who I am, and I am not sure I have ever felt like this, by putting myself first I can see the benefits for others.
I am daring to be brave, which means my confidence is coming out in different new ways, and this is rubbing off on others.
I have enjoyed a relaxing holiday with the family, for the first time in years, and am exercising for enjoyment, rather than because my critical voice says I have to.
Coaching with Jules has been a game changer, and I will continue to share what I know with others and recommend Jules too.
Recognising that imposter syndrome is not a sign of inadequacy but a manifestation of my own high standards and aspirations. We worked on strategies to silence that inner critic, focusing on my achievements rather than my perceived shortcomings. Slowly but surely, I began to see myself as deserving of my place in the industry.
Coaching has honed my decision-making skills, enabling me to navigate complex business scenarios with greater confidence. I've learned to trust my instincts while also employing analytical frameworks to evaluate risks and rewards. This has led to smarter, more effective business strategies.
The most profound impact of coaching has been on my personal growth. I've developed a strong sense of self-belief and confidence that extends beyond my professional life. I no longer question my worth or capabilities, and this newfound self-assurance has enriched all aspects of my life.
I highly recommend the financial and time investment that comes with Coaching – it is has been an invaluable investment, paying dividends both professionally and personally. It has equipped me with the tools to succeed in a challenging industry and, most importantly, helped me discover my true self. I am no longer the woman plagued by self-doubt; I am a business owner, a leader, and a lifelong learner, ready to take on whatever challenges come my way.
Thanks Jules ....It's been a blast so far and I look forward to what is to come.
