"It took me two years to call Jessica, despite having received raving testimonials. The day I finally reached out to Jessica was a great turning point for me and I only regret not having done so before. Although it always comes at the right time. I was searching for some insight, guidance and support in making a shift in my life pattern, more than anything else. Jessica was able to see through all the blur I presented her with and quickly identify where I was trying to go and what I needed to do. She soon became my compass and somehow my conscious. Being an overachiever at work, my personal life was often left to the side, and with Jessica’s help I have been able to apply my professional skills to my personal life and my personal approach to my business life. I reached a new level of awareness of my surroundings and actions, am able to eloquently and clearly outline what I am looking for in life and with that keep laying the stones of the path I am walking in life. The shift in my life is evident not only to me but to all around me and I don’t cease to recommend friends and strangers to embark on this experience and the sooner the better."

Why is it that it can take two years to make the call? So often we feel we should be able to make the changes we want, create the life we constantly talk about, figure it out on our own. It is almost as though it is an embarrassment that we find ourselves in this stuck space, we feel inadequate that we can’t just do it!
Why on earth do we think that? Have you ever watched kids play and learn? They know when to ask for help or work together. In fact at times they simply demand it. It is our inherent nature to reach out when we need to, but our society has labelled that a weakness and cut us off from the support that we need at certain times in our life.
So there we are, all grown up all of a sudden, and because we are grown-up we think we have to show our independence. We feel that to ask for support is wrong, we should be able to go it alone. That’s what being grown up is about.
No.
Being grown up is about knowing our strengths and our weaknesses. Admitting to ourselves that at times we do actually need some help, some wisdom, some guidance. Someone to help us get clear on the goal we want to reach and support us till we get there. And to look in on our game and point out where we could do it better.
“…I can highly recommend Jessica to anyone who is stuck or lost and doesn’t know whom to turn to or just can’t seem to make that much-needed change. Life can be tough and as humans we need all the help we can get. It’s just a matter of reaching out and asking for that help – and that's what Jessica is there for. I shall miss her enormously but I know she is there if I need her support again.”

All sports men and women know that when they get a good coach their game expands hugely. They know where they are going and how to hit the goals they set. And they set the right goals. Coaching is just the same – except the game is an even bigger one called Life.
If this is the biggest game you will ever play then don’t let anything hold you back from diving in. Don’t let ‘having to do this all alone’ stop you from really getting the life you want.
"When I came into coaching I thought that I would be the one for whom it would not work, I was sure of that, but I also knew that I needed to sort things out and I was willing to give it a go. I always felt good about our discussions and although I could not see the results immediately I carried on and am very happy to say that things have changed for the better. What is so amazing is how things can change so quickly and so positively. Even if my circumstances change I now have a solid foundation."
