"The life consultant truly helped me to clarify what I was looking for. She sat down with me, really listened to me and gave me great advice along the way. I really enjoyed the experience and was very thankful that I took the step to see a life consultant."
"I'm a married man with two young children and have been successfully delivering specialist IT services through my own company for a number of years. All my life I had driven myself to achieve and do well, always taking on more than I could comfortably manage but achieving what I set out to do and I was well respected by the people I worked with and for whom I had delivered solutions. However I had reached a plateau. Initially I dismissed the idea of a life coach as I always felt life coaching was either a soft, fluffy thing for directionless people or was synonymous with 80's style salesmen shouting "You're a tiger!" in front of a mirror!
I continued aimlessly for about 9 months before I decided that it was my career that I needed to change. I thought a change in career would be just what I needed and I started to think about the careers I could do. I completed some on-line quizzes and a psychometric profile but still wasn’t sure what to do. So I did a search for 'Career counseling' and found a local company who I thought could help me decided on my career. Jennette explained that she was a 'life coach' and I thought "hmmmm, I don't need this, I need a change in career", but decided to continue.
That decision to continue was one of the THE best decisions I have ever made in my life. Within a few short sessions with Jennette I went from being aimless and unsatisfied with my life, and thinking I needed a new career to regaining the drive, confidence and direction I needed to start to make my life better and continue to do what I was doing! Changing career would have been the worst decision I could have made as it would have caused problems with the other areas of my life.
There was one session when I had a "Eureka! I get it" moment and felt that last 18 months of feeling dissatisfaction, lethargy, and self-pity just sloughed off and I was invigorated and energised. This sounds like hyperbole and I must admit that in the past I would have gone 'Yeah, right!" but time spent with Jennette is one of the best investments you will ever make."
