Feedback - what it's like to work together

For me, the thought of working with a coach was confronting and fear-invoking.

I imagined being pressured into unsettling strategies, being upsold to a big-bucks personal development program (possibly even a yoga retreat!) or being revealed as a professional fraud. The actual experience could not have been more different.

Via the magic of Skype (we are located in different states), Angela set about transforming my overwhelmed mindset and reinventing the way I do business.She helped me identify the negative speak inside my head (most days it was shouting at me) and, together, we developed a vision focussed on how I want my business to look and feel. That vision keeps me focussed … it’s my blueprint and my compass, especially on those odd days when my instinct feels clouded.

She showed me how to look to myself for solutions, to trust my own instincts, to give myself permission and to approach my work (and my world) with a whole heart.

We built strategies to help me transition including scripts for saying “no”, ways to re-package and market my services, and tips for networking with purpose. I now have the tools I need to keep the momentum going.

The results are tangible: I have a fresh (very feminine) logo, a “feel-good” promotional postcard and a whole(hearted) new approach to communicating with my clients.

I’ve farewelled some clients along the way, refused some projects and am attracting more and more of the “feel-good” people and projects I love.

I’m enjoying an amazingly positive relationship with my work – I’m much more creative / honest / open / brave and my clients LOVE me for it. I am enough.

Angela simply “gets” me. I never feel that I’m being fobbed off with boilerplate solutions. She listens wholeheartedly and tailors everything to my unique situation. She knows when to push and when to yield.

Working with Angela is a revelation … she gives everything she has: savvy business know-how, absolute intent, cut-through thinking, unwavering support and a wholeheartedness that’s truer than true.”

Someone to help get this stuff out of my head and help me make it into a business plan – I was sinking into a hole of overwhelm and needed help to create a strategy, and how to prioritise next steps.

So I called on Angela to help – not realising that it wasn’t just a lack of clarity around knowing where to focus my energies that was holding me back.

And boy did I get that crystal clear vision I have so been seeking!

I blabbed for a while and like a lightening bolt I heard these words, “so you’re a conduit for change. And you create confident communicators of change.”

And my WHOLE BODY LIT UP! Then she helped me dissect what I do into new offerings, and again, totally refined the blab in my head into solid action points and a plan! (I am very excited as this has been holding me back….) I felt really heard, really seen, really understood.

Angela has a knack of tuning in to who you are, helping you articulate what you’re trying to accomplish and creating steps to get you there. And the coup d’etat? Getting me to drop the fear I’ve been holding that’s around comparisonitis!

I didn’t know how much that had been creating anxiety until I felt it fall away and the joy & energy flood back into my body.

And how free I am to create, without fear of worrying about what others are doing.

So, summing up – if you need clarity, energy, your purpose reflected back in a way that lights you up, a plan, your thoughts transformed into offerings, and…. you want to drop the limiting beliefs holding back your business, call Angela.

She is a fantastic mentor. Her depth of business experience coupled with her deep understanding about how self-worth issues can hold us back is a truly blessed combination.

I feel totally at ease sharing what’s coming up for me, I adore her passion, her care, her wisdom, her sense of humour and of course, her laser sharp insight that makes everything so clear!

Being a woman following an entrepreneurial path there is so much to learn and implement to create a successful business, and everyday is an opportunity to grow and get out of your own way.

With Angela by your side you can tackle what’s going on beneath the surface that’s holding you back – and use her business insight to propel you forward.

In our first session we defined my “super power” and then we nailed my message – this is how ‘Dream Big, Live Bold’ became the foundation to everything I do. And this anchor has stopped my excessive zigging and zagging, I’ve stopped trying different things to see what was going to fit, because this fits me so well. It’s comfortable, it’s dynamic, it’s easy – it’s me.

And it’s defined the core of my business.

Just as importantly, I no longer spend my time looking at what everyone else is doing – I just don’t have the need anymore. I’ve realised what I can do now. I’m finally confident with who I am, and who my brand is – they’re now fluidly entwined.

I absolutely believe I’ve moved into the Second Phase (Act) of my business. My start-up years are done and dusted!

When we worked together the ease of communication between us was a blessing. Angela kept me focused and aligned and she always met me as an equal, but I was also very aware that she has the knowledge, the experience and the success that I aspire to chalk up!

As a direct result of working with Angela, my earnings have doubled and for the first time I have a consistent, reliable monthly income that gives me the freedom to follow all of my dreams. I now have in place a framework and processes that support my core offerings as well as a roadmap that will see me achieve my goals.

And I have Angela to thank for helping me get out of my own way so that I can be the brightest lighthouse possible.

I wanted a straight-talker; I wanted someone who knew business and had been there themselves; and I wanted someone to bounce ideas off and give me the pros and cons of what was in my head.

I wasn’t looking for someone to tell me what to do but I didn’t want to work with someone who wouldn’t give their opinion either.
Angela is a coach that gives the perfect mix of support and advice.
She’s experienced and educated, so she has an impressive bag of tricks to help not only with the nuts and bolts of marketing and building your business but importantly your mindset as well.

Her zone of genius is her uncanny ability to be super clear on your ideas and thoughts even when you’re not. With Angela’s help, I was able to finally cut a path through all my ideas to find the clarity I was frustratingly missing.

Her energy and drive are inspirational and awe-inspiring – she literally radiates positivity and determination about your business.

She’s incredibly generous with her time, with her knowledge and with her heart.

She’s the real deal – she walks her talk – and she’s an absolute asset when you’re a solopreneur in need of support.

Like I said: she’s The One.
