Unlocking What's Possible

Happy Friday!

Sir John Whitmore was a pioneer of the executive coaching industry and wrote ‘Coaching for Performance’ - the first coaching book I ever read! He co-created the GROW model of coaching and is celebrated for adapting sports psychology to the corporate world, fundamentally transforming how modern businesses approach leadership development. His book had a profound effect on me and inspired me to want to develop my skills to be able to coach back in 2005. Trish Divine was my manager at the time (and is now a dear friend)– she gave me this book and introduced me to the world of coaching - thank you Trish!

I have received some wonderful testimonials over last few months but the words that follow, have stuck with me particularly when I flew to Thailand. Coaching is remarkable and has the power to literally change lives. You can see the full recommendation on my profile page here - I have thought about these words from my client so much over the last month....

"WHAT HAS AMAZED ME MOST IS THAT THE PROGRAMME HAS GONE FAR BEYOND BUSINESS COACHING. RACHAEL HAS HELPED ME OVERCOME PERSONAL BARRIERS WITH SURPRISINGLY QUICK RESULTS. ONE OF THE BIGGEST WAS HELPING ME GET ON A PLANE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 25 YEARS AFTER COMPLETELY AVOIDING FLYING. IT WAS SOMETHING I GENUINELY NEVER THOUGHT I'D DO AGAIN, YET WITH RACHAEL'S GUIDANCE IT BECAME ACHIEVABLE".

I am so proud of my client for achieving this and am honoured that I as her coach was the catalyst that helped her to see that this was possible – what a privilege!

Have a super weekend ahead.!
