Thought for the Week: 15th November 2010

Working with Kyle, the level of openness and trust in our coaching relationship has allowed me to make some significant breakthroughs. Initially the focus of my coaching was more personal and as a result of our work together I am now more balanced, more focused, more confident, and have moved to a place where I now feel sure of my own capabilities and strengths and realise that really the future is there for the taking.

These breakthroughs paved the way for me to tackle my next challenge – growing my business. The focus of my coaching programme shifted to business development and with Kyle’s help things are now really moving forwards. As a result of the coaching I now have a stronger relationship with my business partner, clear business goals for the next 3 years and a plan to ensure that we make them real, financial targets and a plan to increase revenue by more than 50% each year – which I know we can achieve, and the confidence to ‘go out there and do it’! I am consistently moving out of my comfort zone and doing things that I might normally have been ‘fearful’ of; seeing each new challenge as an opportunity for growth and learning, rather than something to be feared.
