From my clients...
"I presented some slides (15mins) in a conference last Tuesday morning in Freiburg – from my perspective it went very well since I could say what I wanted to say and all the past symptoms I described did not occur this time – so I want to give you a big THANK YOU for helping me!"
"Because of the position of the people attending I didn’t think I’d be able to give any value to the meeting, or that my opinion would be welcomed, but it wasn’t true. Someone said they wished they had someone like me on their team because of the value I give to the team. If feels so amazing, it’s crazy."
4 years ago there’s no way I would have applied for the job I’m doing now.
"Louise has a great gift, you give so much life to me and light. Even the people who I’m closest to don’t see me as clearly as you do. You see me and you challenge me, you have a real talent, thank you."
"In the past I worried about presentations and spent time trying to memorise special words and phrases, now I just translate the slides and have the confidence that I can just speak without a lot of extra preparation. It feels so much more natural. I didn’t need those phrases I could speak naturally and they understood me."
"2 weeks ago the pressure I felt within me was completely overwhelming, now with your help I can’t even locate where I felt that pressure. I know it was real but I don’t have the same relationship with it, it’s like watching a movie of myself experiencing those things"
"Working with you has made me see that I’ve been fighting against myself, when I realised that my problems became less of an enemy. Now I have greater understanding and compassion for myself, which allows me to react differently to criticism."
“Thank you so much the strategy that we worked on together has not only helped me find a working solution to my current problem, but I see now how I can use it for so many other situations in my life”
"I know I set high expectations for myself, and sometimes this just becomes too much. You’ve given me the power to look at the big mountain of stuff in front of me and find a way of getting over it, thank you."
"It’s been a perfect storm of situations at work and at home, I had some fear that it would never end, but you showed me the way through it."
"Let me tell you about Louise. Trust me, if you need a kind and strong mirror to show you what you need to see about yourself, or you need a challenging dialogue to go where your mind doesn’t allow you to go by yourself? Louise is great with any living soul."
"I’m really seeing progress, I can now make at least one contribution during each meeting. For me this is the first little indicator of my stress diminishing.
"In the past I couldn’t sleep before, I was very anxious, worried, and had problems with my stomach. That has changed since we started our sessions. I was able to stand up and present for 25 minutes in front of 30 people without notes and without prepared sentences, I just spoke freely, it was great and very successful."
"I could never have done this job if I hadn’t had coaching. The combination of coaching and English, the whole package has changed my perspectives so that I now know that I can do so much more than I previously believed. I’m no longer afraid of being visible, and that has had a huge impact on my position in the company and my respect for myself."
"In the past I worried about presentations and spent time trying to memorise special words and phrases, now I just translate the slides and have the confidence that I can just speak without a lot of extra preparation. It feels so much more natural. I didn’t need those phrases I could speak naturally and they understood me."
"I prepared myself for the event beforehand. I knew I would need a lot of strength for the trip, but I had also learnt through our sessions how to help myself. I was a lot of work, but it really helped me feel confident."
"I got some feedback from a colleague who said I seemed very centred and grounded, she couldn’t see the chaos, the rollercoaster that I felt inside me!"
"What I have wanted to tell you for a while: we discussed the inner child concept during our last session. At that time, I was not ready to open up to it. Meanwhile, I have taken the initiative to research and even enrolled in a course focusing on inner child work. This practice has been incredibly helpful in allowing me to self-reflect and identify outdated beliefs, which I can then work on. I am very grateful to you for introducing me to this topic."
"Working with Louise has helped me to know myself better, to realise where my obstacles come from and how I can deal with them and overcome them."
"I’ve had such high expectations of myself and the internal pressure I thought was keeping me together was actually tearing me apart. I see that now and am able to manage myself much better."
"Because of working with you I am able to help people at work and tell them that it’s ok to feel like that. Knowing what that part of me wants helps is worthwhile because what it wants is good for you . A lot of people are just on there path and they feel heavy but it changes when you know what it wants and when you feel bad it works and changes from problem to solution it feels light."
