This is what just some EVOLVEDUCATION coaching clients have experienced to date:

Prior to coaching I felt that I was achieving in some areas of my life whilst going backwards in others, I was struggling to have a balance home and work and felt that I was giving more than I was receiving in my relationships. I had tried to address these issues myself but felt confused and not really sure how to successfully change it ‘this time’. At the beginning of my coaching I was nervous and a bit embarrassed to admit that not all areas of my life were working properly however it took just my first session and to relax and start to enjoy the process of understanding my conflicting values and why things had developed to this level. Every week there were revelations and laughs to make the process a fun way to learn about my self and to grow and bring about change in my life. Throughout the coaching I found many areas challenging but it was also fun with lots of laughs along the way. Setting actions gave me a sense of taking control and being proactive and after completing them a sense that I could design my future rather than just let it unfold with me as a spectator.

My biggest challenges were two fold:
1/ completing my ‘home play’ prior to my next session although had I not had the time constraints of my next coaching session my well meaning intentions would have been overridden by work and home commitments. I really appreciated that Kerryn [my coach] was there to make me accountable for my own progress. I can’t believe how my life has improved in so many area’s of my life and this is directly apportioned to my coaching sessions.
2/ changing my boundaries with work my children and my primary relationship. I can honestly say that my whole family and my work have directly benefited because I have learnt to have more balance and give to myself as well as others. My new boundaries have a positive ripple effect and I have seen growth in many people around me.

My biggest insight with coaching was that I was still operating on teachings from childhood and I had not adapted these to reflect my stage of life, being a mother, a partner and self employed . I realised that until I KNEW in my heart that I DESERVED, then others would be happy enough to help me in my lessons of not getting or feeling of deserving. I now find that I have a very attentive partner, my children are more cooperative and helpful and my goals with work just seem to happen more effortlessly.

When I commenced coaching I had so many areas of my life the needed an overhaul but one area of my life was really concerned about with my physical fitness and health. I have since joined a gym and discovered that I love Yoga, and I am now more disciplined now in having at least one day off per week and enjoying more time with friends and I now find I have more energy and feeling much happier within myself I’m enjoying a more spiritual life and feeling and healthier. I am also more optimistic about the future and about obtaining my goals easily in the not too distant future.

I would say I have a new understanding and appreciation of boundaries and also new skills in applying them . Work wise I am now more focused on the areas that require attention for my business to grow and the wonderful thing is that it doesn’t seem ‘too hard ‘ anymore. Prior to coaching I felt that although I was making consistent efforts to create my ideal life I could not see where my values conflicted and what was keeping me stuck. I believe that I have observed and practised the skills with Kerryn and now I have a good understanding of the processes to go through to find the best direction to take the courage to go for it and also to know what it is that is holding me back.

My life has changed dramatically over the 5 months of coaching with Kerryn. I now place less pressure on myself however everything just seems to fall into place far easier than ever. Setting new limits and boundaries has had a positive ripple effect with everyone in my life and not only am I happier but so too are my children and partner, who are far more cooperative supportive and attentive. I would have to say that life is pretty darn good! Thanks Kerryn.

I was feeling pretty flat when I came to coaching… as I had had 7 months of illness with a bad back stopping me travelling and doing what I wanted to do. My life lacked colour and purpose and I was not seeing my vision for my future clearly… Setting my goals was a little daunting as I had lost sight of what they were, so to set some were exciting, although I don't think I really thought they were going to change my life… My feelings through the coaching process were those of interest, elation and excitement....I could see myself visably moving forward. When my actions were complete I felt full and satisfied and had learnt a lot… [I learnt] that coaching really helps, that I know the answers, but to just sit still enough and look at my life gave me the peace and stability that was needed. [As a result of life coaching] I am in Praise of Slow, I am scheduleing my diary differently, I do stop and smell the roses, and give time and space for myself. To give myself permission to be kind to me, value friends and what I have more, enjoy each day even if I can't achieve what I thought I would! My physical back is getting better, I have time and space and liking myself more shows up in many ways. [I have overcome] Rush, to have to be seen to be busy all the time. Less IS more. [Life Coaching] has given me time to see that what I do for myself reflects on others around me, so I believe everyone is happier that I exist in this state. [My coaching journey] has been too short, too quick, but a wonderful time for me to reflect and see that the Lord is good, that I can just relax and be me, with my own values and love, and that I AM complete where I am.

Life before coaching for me was going nowhere, i was stuck in a rut where I felt I had no control, no direction and in general was very unhappy with my everyday life. Going through the initiation process was quite interesting and exciting, but scary at the same time. With the encouragement from my mum who has also done Life Coaching, I decided it was time to make a change for the better and just do it! To set myself goals was great because it gave me that sense i was going to accomplish something that I may never had the courage to do on my own. Sometimes during coaching I felt like I wanted to give up, fear set in and that was it. But then someone's voice would pop into my head, and I think we all know who that is!!!! And would automatically give me that push of encouragement to do the best I possible could to get the best possible results. Setting actions and completing them are sometimes really challenging, because it gets to look at yourself and once again setting actions around what you want to achieve. I am just over half way and are already setting actions for myself which really feels truly amazing. My biggest challenge was one of my goals. To have come across so many blockages was draining. But [my coach and I] we sat down and went through all my thoughts, and pinpointed where it was all coming from... fear... fear of not doing it properly, or not doing it right. I now have this little book of "Self Confidence" by Susan Jeffers. The new habits I have developed are that I’m starting to set my own actions. My new strength is that I’m putting myself first.
My life has changes because Life Coaching got me to look at situations differently to open the mind not just to one possibility but to many. I think Life Coaching is a wonderful experience for anyone because it gets you to heights you never thought possible. Whatever you put your mind to, you can achieve anything you desire.

I was bored lonely and unemployed and certainly did not have any romance [before I started coaching]. I had a short term goal but did not expect to achieve them [but coaching gave me] Hope and a push to get them done. When I was struggling to see any benefit from my actions, perseverance was the key. I could achieve what I want (when I figured it out) and [I discovered] that people actually want to enjoy my company and that women where even the remotely interested.
[I learnt to] Just to persevere and keep a focus on my goals and to persevere and drive and attempt to open up [rather than] closing off people and going into my cocoon. I am finally in a job that I can see long term career prospects in and
can leverage off for my lifestyle.

Before I started coaching I was battling addiction and low self esteem. All areas of my life and my thinking were in desperate need of a makeover. In a word, “Chaotic”. During the coaching process I have felt a sense of purpose and direction forming. With each action I completed I could feel my self belief steadily growing. I traded my unhealthy addiction in exchange for my personal power. My biggest challenge was my penchant for procrastination and I overcame this one step at a time, doing one thing at a time instead of trying to do it all or nothing. Whilst caught up in the throes of addiction one is a “victim” of life – my biggest insight “I get what I give.” I have developed a completely new way of thinking and the capacity to be honest with myself, self-belief is my new strength and I have overcome procrastination and limiting beliefs. Coaching has increased my self esteem and given me an unshakeable belief in my own potential to create positive change in my life. There are no limits!
