Personal Development: Feedback

Breakthrough Sessions:

“ I was in desperate need of direction and motivation. I could not find focus or clarity and was struggling to make sense of what was going on. I decided enough was enough and contacted Carol for help. I was immediately struck by her calm, reassuring, supportive and positive advice. Without hesitation I cancelled my trip to Cornwall and headed north to Todmorden (I live near Exeter). I can’t think of a better place to find energy, focus and clarity. My break through session achieved exactly what I wanted. Carol skillfully guided me through my maze to achieve my outcomes. I now feel lighter, sharper and ready to tackle life’s challenges. An unforgettable experience and I would recommend it to anyone who needs to find a purpose and is stuck at the crossroads. Thank you.”

“ I approached this course with trepidation and anticipation.

What did I expect? - at least a new challenging experience – at best a different way to look at what was preventing me from reaching new goals in both my personal and professional life.

The day - a very full one - met my expectations. It was challenging, exciting, stimulating, emotional and hard work mentally.

With careful and structured steps Carol took me through many barriers coaxing me to articulate why I viewed certain situations and relationships as barriers to me doing something.

In brief these ranged from simple life changes relating to relationships to more complex professional goals.

The techniques Carol used seemed almost too simple to be effective but four weeks on, as I reflect I know I have a new inner confidence. When the doubts start circling in my mind I go back to the techniques given.

Without being given these techniques I would still be avoiding the barriers. It is difficult to explain what these are as I believe everyone would interpret them and use them in their own way but in summary one of the best self development courses I have been on and a unique experience to be approached with an open mind.”

“ When I arrived, I was expecting the usual run of the mill management talk being rolled out on a person level. To my surprise it analysed, exposed, and opened up every aspect of my being. To the way I relate to people, personality types, how to deliver the information according to the NLP type. Carol skillfully guided me through to solution oriented and SMART objectives which I took away with me and which still hold true almost 12 months later.

Having previously spent a considerable amount of time on management training courses by the time I had finished the workshop, I was not only able to consolidate everything that I had learnt but reached a much deeper understanding of myself, my personal and professional relationships, but more importantly, an understanding that deep routed behaviours can be changed.”

“ I found the break-through session to be a completely worth-while experience. I would certainly recommend it to anyone as it has greatly benefited my way of life and helped me to focus on what I want out of my life and who I want to be, as well as what my true values and beliefs are. I cannot stress enough how much of a positive experience this truly was as an aid to create a much happier life for myself.”

Communication Skills:

“ I was pleased with the format the course took. By combining an examination of why I lacked confidence in communication with practical exercises I found the course to be very insightful.”

“ A challenging and rewarding course that covered more than I had hoped for and I am very pleased to have attended.”

“ I wanted to learn to believe in myself and to gain confidence and this workshop has taught me how to do it.”

“ I have never experienced a learning workshop like this. It was very unique – especially to my individual needs. I got out everything I need and did a lot of activities 10 times better than I would have otherwise. I feel affective communications is very important in the work place.”

“ It took you through the stages from the beginning of a presentation to the end. It included useful pointers on planning a presentation which I will definitely be using in the future.”

“ It covers all areas that influence communication so you know what is important, you learn that everything is important.”

“ It was hard work but I don’t think I have every learnt so much in such a short amount of time. It was fantastic, thank you very much! ”

“ I want to come back! ”

“ I thought it was excellent, you do a really good job, and the intensiveness of the course aids the way it’s effective.”

Life Skills Coaching:

“ I had sensed for a while that I need to make changes to both my personal and professional life, but felt paralysed to do so. Even after having tried a number of self help books which all made interesting reading but gave neither the motivation nor the tools to put things into practice. The QBM - Life Skills course - more particularly Carol literally came to the rescue when I had almost given up.”

“ I would never have imagined that within a matter of a few hours my outlook on life, the control over my life which I thought I had lost and my limiting self beliefs could dramatically change. By the end of the session, I felt as if - not a weight nor rock but a boulder had been lifted off my shoulders! I was truly exhilarated by the experience and couldn't wait to start living the first day of the rest of my life.”
