This process is something that should have happened much sooner in my life. It is never too late to discover who you are. I would recommend that this program start at school level; the sooner one is exposed to this, the better the development in one’s life - personal and work related. If I had to vote for this to be compulsory, I would give it 10 out of 10. It is life changing.

To be understood and reflect with a coach that is open-minded, understand my spiritual awareness and society’s pressures and expectations, resulted in me being freed from self-doubt and feelings of being stuck career wise. I feel fuelled to lead a purposeful life, grounded in “connectedness”, doing my own special thing with confidence and hopefully inspiration to others.

From our first coaching session together, Madri helped me clarify my thoughts on my career transition and identify what I needed to do to move forward. She helped me see the ‘light at the end of the tunnel’ by breaking down the steps I needed to take into bite-sized actions. Her follow-through is remarkable, as is her steadfast positive attitude.

Madri’s values-centred guidance challenged me to think beyond just a job and focus more on using my strengths and passions. Her uplifting, positive and fun personality makes it easy to open up to and work with her. She is an amazing coach and caring mentor and someone to look up to. Madri sees the best in you and helps you to build a plan for how to put those strengths and passions to work in your position at work.

The most important benefit I have gained, is the coach's ability to make me feel good as a manager and to instil that confidence in me that I am worth it. It gave me the confidence to accept the challenges that lay ahead in the business world again.
