Coaching works!
Claudia, Luxembourg – “I would never be where I am today without Sarah. She coached me through an enormously difficult time where I couldn’t see the forest for trees and there was a lot of confusion and frustration. With her guidance, I discovered my strengths and learned to value and accept them. With her help, I discovered how I can apply my strengths to a new career. I clearly remember our last coaching session, where her skilled questions led me to discover my inner obstacles. Together, we looked at each obstacle, evaluated it and put it into place and perspective. That session was so powerful, I will never forget it. After it, I felt that a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. I suddenly felt so much lighter, so much more at ease with myself and I knew that whichever path I chose to take, it would be alright. The confusion and frustration had turned into into a beautiful – then yet unknown, but not frightening – path through the lush forest of life. Ever since then, I have been able to utilise my strengths and resources, have taken good decisions and everything has worked out really well.”
V., Luxembourg – “I started working with Sarah based on the strength of recommendations from others who had been coached by her professionally. Having never worked with a Coach before, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I went along with an open mind and questions I hoped to find answers to.
Straight away I felt relaxed and saw that she genuinely wanted to help. What then resulted from working together for a few months was far more than I expected. Thanks to our sessions I quit my job on a high, turned down another I didn’t really want, found and secured a much better job, started working on a side project and relocated to a new city in a different country. I also picked back up hobbies and interests which I’d let slip due to the workload and travel requirements of the previous position.
It is true that to get the most out of coaching, you have to want to make a change. However, Sarah is the best person to have on your side to ensure that happens. She listens carefully, uses character strength profiling, combines professional and academic expertise and knowledge, promotes following actionable steps, and provides generous encouragement with a smile. The outcome for me was the chance to reflect on my attributes, understand what I want from work and life, and then…the rest suddenly seemed obvious.”
S., Luxembourg – “Sarah gave me valuable guidance in a moment in time when things were falling a part, or so I thought. Hand in hand with positive psychology and other tools, she made me realise that I was holding back on my dreams out of a sacred fear not to be ‘normal’. It seems that sometimes in life we need a helping hand in order to see the big picture, get rid of fears and insecurities and find the courage to move forward. I thanked Sarah in person a thousand times and I will keep thanking for being there at the right moment in the right time. I have already recommended her to friends facing similar situations when hard decisions need to be taken.”
S., Germany – “I started working with Sarah at a point in my life where I felt stuck. I had already quit my job and knew that I wanted to do/learn something new, but I felt lost in a jungle of possibilities and did not know where to begin. My sister recommended Sarah’s career coaching to me and I was open to it. As I am not living in Luxembourg, we held the sessions via Skype, which worked out perfectly fine. I was amazed at how much work we got done together in only 3 sessions. We explored my strengths and Sarah was very good at explaining what they really mean. We then explored which characteristics a job should have in order for me to feel happy in it and in which kinds of jobs I could best apply my strengths. Sarah’s encouraging, non-judgmental and smiling attitude helped me be honest with myself and express things I would not have dared express elsewhere. This way, I managed to have a clearer picture of what I really want and to create a list of feasible to-do’s to get closer to my goal: making a decision. I would recommend coaching with Sarah to anybody who feels stuck in a way or another.”
