Before I met Susan and started working with her I was so bogged down running my two businesses and feeling like I was hardly coming up for air. So many things needed to be done that I was always chasing my tail. Time was a huge and foreboding enemy of mine. Susan came into my life and changed all this! Her considered and concise way of looking at my businesses has helped me to prioritise the necessary tasks, how to take charge of time and to focus on the areas that will increase my sales. She has shared with me invaluable strategic ways of tackling problems and given me information that will help my businesses run smoothly and efficiently. Over the course of our coaching time together I have now focused on the most profitable side of my business and pulled it to the forefront of my daily activities. At times I have felt low and overwhelmed with my workload but one call to Susan and an hour later I feel motivated and ready to face the issues in a calm and more level headed way.

Like many people, I like to please everyone who comes to me for my business, however this doesn’t necessarily help my business! Susan has helped me change my attitude towards this and I now only do work that is interesting and benefits me and the future of my businesses. I really feel that I have now ‘gained time’ in my working life, and more importantly I focus on the jobs that bring in the money that I deserve to be paid for. Susan has taught me to value what I do and to believe in myself, in the talent that I have.

My attitude to my business as a whole has completely changed. I now see myself as a more equipped business woman in my industry, I have confidence in what I deliver to my clients and I know I can charge the fees that this brings. To learn this is priceless.

Not only has Susan worked with me on my business she has also listened to what else is going on in my life, and considered the effects all this happens on my working activities and daily motivations. Her advice and support in these areas have been wonderful, I really feel like she cares about the ‘whole’ me, not just the ‘photographer’ me.

My business is now destined for much greater things, which I can’t say isn’t scary but I feel ready for it now, it is definitely a very exciting time for me! Thank you Susan.

‘Before coaching with Susan I felt very dissatisfied with my life and my work in particular.  I had been running my business part-time for 2 years and on top of that was working in a job that I felt disconnected with; it was as though my life had reached that ‘groundhog’ day point…and I was exhausted!   Alongside all of this my relationship of 8 years had ended and I was really disheartened by life and had lost a lot of confidence.

Since working with Susan my confidence has increased and I’ve now had the courage to make a big decision and leave my job to concentrate 100% on my business.  I feel like I’m taking control of my life and have the ability to make anything I want come to fruition.

I noticed powerful results after just a couple of sessions with her.  For the first time, I can now envision a happier and more successful life for myself; with the freedom to create this in the way that I choose.

It’s been invaluable to have Susan’s encouragement, advice and support as I go along this journey.  I am very grateful for that.  I feel so excited about the next phase of my life and want to continue working with Susan, as I have realised that it will be imperative for me to have a strong support network, including Susan as my coach.

Thank you Susan!’  Emma Bibby, www.assistantguru.co.uk

I started working with Susan because I wanted to make significant changes in my life and work and take what had been a part time business to a full time business.  Before coaching with Susan I didn’t really know how to make this step and had too many balls in the air.

Since working with her, my business has come on in leaps and bounds.  It is now focused and has a niche and I can see the way forward for future projects and developments.    I noticed powerful results after just 4 sessions with her, and, what surprised me was that I even noticed changes in my own confidence, self belief and sense of identity.  For the first time, I can now envision a new way of working and living that feels absolutely natural and fits in with my core values.  If anyone would like to know more about my experience, please have them reach me: Alison Matthews, www.sensabilityuk.co.uk and www.isense.org.uk , alison.matthews@sensabilityuk.co.uk

“I have written this recommendation of your services as I truly believe that your services are unique and inspirational.  I have attended workshop events organized by Real Coaching Solutions in the recent past. I had a great time meeting like-minded people, who share the same passion – healthy and sustainable business.   I believe that Susan and her company have a fantastic package for small business owners – empathy, integrity and hands on advice, which helped me to crystallise my thoughts and ideas related to my relatively new business, quite effortlessly.  I would like to recommend Susan’s services to other entrepreneurs who are looking for innovative support and fresh ideas for their unique business” Jana Stanton, westminsterhypnotherapy.co.uk

“Since working with Susan, I have become clear about where I want to take my business, my ideal client and my value. I have made changes that I have been procrastinating on for ages and increased my fees to a level that was out of my comfort zone a few months ago, yet already now feels not high enough!  Before coaching with her I was continually getting stuck in the short term goals of my business, rather than making time to take the long view.

My confidence has grown along with my clarity, due to Susan’s mentoring and support. For the first time since I started my business 6 years ago I really feel excited again – I know where I am going and know I can get there.”

“Before coaching with Susan my coaching business was ticking over but definitely not where I wanted it to be.  I realised that my skills and talent as a coach were not being fully used, for after all there were all those clients out there who I could help to make big changes in their lives so that they too could live lives which made the best use of their gifts too. However, I had an inner dread of that thing called ‘marketing’ and was not at all sure what the best action to take was in order to get more clients coming to my door.

Since working with her, my confidence in knowing what I need to do to attract more clients is now 100% better than before I began working with her.  I noticed powerful results after just 2 sessions with her, and I even noticed changes in my enthusiasm for marketing.  For the first time, I can now envision a coaching practice where all elements of the work come together to form a whole.  I no longer separate coaching from marketing.  I realise that they are intertwined and need to be.  I am now walking my talk for myself and that feels absolutely as it should be. And the clients are coming!

I am very indebted to you for the increase in confidence I have experienced since working together.  I appreciate your wide range of experience and knowledge in your field and know that I am accessing some of the best guidance that is out there.”

“Before taking part in the coaching programme, my business was busy and moving fast, but I felt that I was floundering, as I had so much to do and I was trying to manage everything myself. I was paddling like mad, but not really getting where I wanted to be.

Since completing the programme I have become more focused and made steps towards getting help with PR and the financial administration. I feel more confident about moving forward and making new contacts and appointments with potential new clients.

Using the visualisation techniques and advice from the tele-coaching sessions, my vision of where I want to be is much more doable and reachable, rather than just a dream in my head. Great for focusing the mind and creating clarity when running your own business, I’d recommend it to anyone!”

“Before taking part in the Coaching programme I had just set up my business, Relish marketing. I was operating on my own and was looking to talk to some like minded people and get advice on what to do next, as this was the first time I had worked for myself.

Since completing the programme I have written my vision for my business, designed my marketing strategy, secured my first client and been paid for my work. This has given me the confidence to then go out and find two more new clients which is incredibly exciting. I am very grateful for all your help and guidance and would highly recommend the programme to those starting in business or looking to give their existing business a boost.”
