"I was in a job that I really loved 40% of the time but really didn't love 60% of the time. I had not felt like this in a job before and just couldn't understand what the issue was, so I just kept trying to ignore it and hoped it would get better. But I felt so drained and just so lost as to what to do next.
This course enabled me to work through many different aspects, my own strengths and weaknesses, my own boundaries, my own judgment of myself and others for example and listen to those of others too.
The course enabled me to frame why I was having the 60% lows - the role wasn't playing to my strengths and was impacting my boundaries.
By understanding more about me, I was able to have a "grown up" conversation at work (as practiced in the "difficult conversation" week) and work through with my boss what wasn't working. I thought my only option was to resign but in fact what has happened is that a different pathway has opened up, one that would not have been available without that conversation. So better equipped with the knowledge from the course, I start a new role next month which I believe plays more to my strengths.
... and if it isn't the right role, that isn't a problem because I have a bank of knowledge about myself, that I can refer to, more confidence around myself and my boundaries and how I want my ideal week to look, to support my future decisions.
Thank you Louise."

Many self-development programmes make promises about being able to transform behaviour and thought patterns, but few manage to achieve this beyond the duration of the course.
Juggling my own business and parenthood means I have little spare time to invest in self-development (particularly during periods of lockdown) and this is the first course I have taken which has truly been realistic and manageable for me to fit into my schedule. The results are incredible and I truly believe everyone would benefit from participating in the programme.
When I started, I believed I was investing in my professional development, but the impact on my personal life has been just as profound. I thought I had high self-awareness before however this course has elevated it to an entirely new level.
Louise’s support has extended beyond the programme with guidance and handy tips to maintain progress. Louise has such a professional, approachable and compassionate nature and I wouldn’t hesitate to approach her for guidance and coaching in the future.

"I’m learning so much about myself and am starting to see how my thoughts have been stopping me from enjoying my life. Allowing myself to pause and consider what might be going on for others has helped me stop automatically blaming or feeling bad about myself."
"In respect of the group call, it was really interesting to see how many others have the same concerns or issues which inadvertently made me feel better about myself. The structure works well. Thank you for the amazing bonus materials you are sharing every week."
