"Ability to make the journey fun and enlightening"
I have just had the pleasure of completing a six month Life Coaching course with Saskia and wish to share my impressions of, and sincere appreciation for Saskia’s coaching skills and her involvement in a huge step forward in my life.
Amongst a number of goals I set early in my course, the most important to me were getting control of finances, improving my home environment (mainly a huge decluttering exercise), improving work/life balance and creating better work habits to get some efficiency into my office environment.
At the outset these seemed like mammoth tasks, especially when hoping to turn around in 6 months bad habits learned over a lifetime! Before I started with Saskia I could recognise that I was in a rut, and that the current situation in each goal area was an obstacle to my moving ahead in both personal and employment areas. I had suspected I was capable of doing much better but had no idea where to start.
What I had not suspected was how interconnected these (what I saw as) obstacles and goals were, and how soon I would begin to see real progress. Recognising and celebrating stages of progress became important and enjoyable.
Aspects of Saskia’s coaching style which I really appreciate include her ability to make the journey fun and enlightening, while guiding but not forcing or judging. She has a way of allowing you to see the answers for yourself, offering possible solutions when appropriate, and most importantly being 100% “there in the moment”.
In just 6 months I have moved from scores of 3-5 (out of 10, in terms of satisfaction with that area) to scores of 8-10. Having gained the skills to attain and measure progress with goals I am now applying these to other areas of my life. Now that I have finished my initial 6 months I am looking forward to some “top-up” sessions and the opportunity to demonstrate to Saskia that the momentum she has helped me create has just begun.
