Coaching has been an extremely valuable process for me, as it allows me to have space to reflect and think, a luxury that one rarely has in the busy-ness of the world today.  In addition to the space created, Coaching offers me the opportunity to be challenged, stretched and supported by the Coach.  Tanya has been doing just that for me.  Her thorough questioning forces me to think, sometimes about that which I’d rather not, which in turn challenges me to really get to grips with where I am at, what I am trying to achieve, what might be holding me back, and what I need to do to move forward.  This process has helped me identify some really deep-seated values and motivators and pushed me into making decisions and taking actions that otherwise may have been done much slower or not at all.

Weereens baie dankie dat jy bereid was om my te help sodat ek my potensiaal die beste kan uitleef. Ek kan aan elke persoon wat ek ken coaching voorstel. Dit het my gehelp om anders na die negatiewe en positiewe aspekte van my lewe te kyk en hoe om daarmee te werk. Ek kommunikeer nou baie beter met my kollegas sowel as met my kliënte. Ek kan nou met gemak oor struikel blokke kom.

I have definitely made huge progress in all my objectives identified up front. I have become considerably more sensitised around team dynamics within my team and a huge improvement is evident in my stress resilience and my work / life balance. This has become evident through positive feedback from people working and interacting with me at work. However, Tanya has made it very clear throughout the sessions, that this is an on-going journey. I am extremely sad that I am reaching the end of my intervention and will recommend Tanya to any career woman experiencing similar challenges.

Despite my initial doubts about coaching, Tanya gained my trust within minutes of our first session, and completely shifted my perceptions. Her questions are powerful, and often leave me startled and with fresh perspectives. Through her warmth, keen sense of observation and distinct use of imagery she has gently directed the process through which I’ve reignited courage and belief in my ability to shape a positive future.
