While I was coaching and mentoring many individuals at work over the years, it became apparent that their personal goals often leaked into their work goals and vice versa. This meant we were often discussing 'life' in order to move the person to a point of job satisfaction and career success.
A managed mind is a calm mind
As a result of two previous failed attempts to seek help from professionals, I had no real expectations from that first meeting online. In fact, I remember thinking to myself ‘if an expensive counsellor I met face to face, every week for over 8 months couldn’t help me, a life coach I was meeting online for the first time didn’t stand much of a chance’. Thankfully, I couldn’t have been more wrong"!!!
​
I came away from the very first session feeling different, we gelled, I felt I’d met the person capable of guiding me to a happier place. Any misconceptions I had about not being able to get the connection over zoom had gone, it was there.
​
Lainy has shown me the door to a life I’d almost given up hope on.

​We all feel stuck at times, it’s like you just can't think straight and we can’t seem to work out how to move forward. It can feel overwhelming and confusing, but most of all it is very frustrating.​ One of my clients says it was like lifting the fog from her mind, you know that feeling of not being able to see the wood for the trees. Understanding how our mind works and what we can do to 'take control back' is a liberating feeling, albeit sometimes a turbulent ride!
​
​When you are feeling overwhelmed, can't reach your goals, confused and frustrated with life, coaching is a fantastic and practical tool to help you.
Having a non-judgemental, independent ear to listen to you and the skill to ask the right questions, helping you plan the life you want..... invaluable!

CASE STUDY
​
​
When I first met Lainy at 48 I had no idea that I was about to embark on a life changing journey, or even that I needed to. Now looking back at 56, I am so thankful for her guidance, it truly has changed the way I think, feel and interact with others.
​
Despite having a deep regard for people’s feelings and viewing myself as quite easy going, I’ve had my fair share of work and personal frustrations and challenges. I often found myself in situations where no matter how many times I tried to explain my point to someone, they just wouldn’t listen.
The unique key to Lainy’s success in enabling me to grow as a person, was in her level of intuition. She never worked from a script, she listened to my real life challenges and guided me to a better way of resolving them by enabling me to understand why my current approach wasn’t working.
I had so many light bulb moments, it was shocking to realise how big a part
I played in creating conflict I didn’t want.
​
Learning how triggers can completely sabotage a conversation was hugely enlightening. Once I better understood my own triggers and how they made me feel and react, I appreciated the importance of avoiding triggering others, and recognising when I had.
I’ve always considered myself as a good listener but some gentle questioning from Lainy soon made me realise that what I often did wasn’t listening, it was patiently waiting for the other person to finish talking so that I could repeat my point again. When I went into repeat mode it was because I truly believed that if something had worked for me, it was the universal answer that would work for anyone, if only they listened. I didn’t fully appreciate that other people experience things completely differently to me, the degree to which that is true and the importance of understanding it was another huge lightbulb moment to me.
What surprises me the most is how drastically different people respond to me when I take into consideration all I have learned before opening my mouth! I don’t get it right every time of course, but when I do lapse back into old habits the result soon reminds me I’ve done it. The difference is, as soon as I hit conflict now I look at myself to understand why it happened before allowing myself to become irritated with the other person.
Lainy helped me understand that I was capable of growth, and that the power and
choice to change was 100% mine.
She then facilitated that growth through calm, non-judgemental, thought provoking questioning of the situations I discussed with her that were troubling me. Without ever feeling challenged or criticised Lainy could ask me a question that instantly enabled me to view a situation from a completely different perspective.
Not every part of the change process was easy, but for anybody who truly wants to grow as a person and is prepared to work on themselves in order to discover and change unhelpful habits, the payback is off the scale. I am happier and more content now than I have ever been in my life.
