Testimonies

Life Coaching with Edith Austrie.

I saw Edith a number of times during my life coaching sessions, each session brought up  different insights for me to work on regarding how i look at issues in my life. 

Each session Edith would help me see where I stop myself or be challenged by on reaching my goal.  Somethimes it was not easy to work through however Edith would break down each tools so I could relate and understand and change my way of thinking and patterns on how I can reach my goals,

I could begin to see each session I had with her how simple my life can be with her teaching me the skills and tools I could take back and use for my life.

Since my sessions with Edith I have gained much confidence and have more clarity in my life.  I feel more at ease on being myself and to be able go for what I want.  I feel alot more fulfilled and am not afriad at trying new ventures.  The Life Coaching sessions have given me alot more than I expected.

 Workshop Was A Success For Me.
In relation to the workshop, I thoroughly enjoy it and learned of change. Being in a room and listening and understanding other's and their experiences in life was life changing. I recognised myself in some of them. People shared their frustrations and obstacles, not sure, not knowing how to move forward and this workshop allowed us to be free with our opinions and open to each others opinions, too, with the individual scenarios. Being a part of it showed yourself you could make improvements, dealing with any situation that life throws at you with confidence in yourself.  

The work place is where a lot of conflict happens and using that as an example demonstrated how people are treated every day, and how they expected to be treated. It also exposed the fact that diversity within working establishments are not always recognized when conflict arises. 

The play with live actors gave me a huge insight into the role I play in the work place and definitely should be used more as a tool in the workshop. The cards was also a really fun and meaningful game which made me come away with a lot to think about. I believe that regular attendance of these workshops will have you coming away feeling positive as it did for me. There is still a long way to go on my journey of discovery but this has changed the meaning of life for me.

What Life Coaching Did For Me
A personal testimony from a coaching session which took place at my home ten months
ago. I was most impressed of the time arranged by Edith which was certainly kept, I
noticed that because I do not do late time keeping. Anyhow to say you are a professional

is probably an understatement. I was amazed at the introduction, taking time to break down
the sessions, explaining every details of what you had to offer me. You brought clarity to
all the things I did not understand. I believe that any individual or group that you offer

coaching too will no doubt benefit, especially by continuing all of the sessions, that would
bring about life changes. It changed my life I started to think differently, I set goals for
myself especially where my emotions are concerned. I am happy to say I am certainly
more stable with my thinking, I can now most certainly communicate without breaking

down, with either fears, or avoiding issues. Coaching works " I know " as I now work
through life's issues, The key is not to expect everything to change overnight, Edith
gives you the tools to work with, the setting of goals and being realistic about how
you go about achieving them, and it being sustainable for good.

Edith you are compassionate, committed and you genuinly care about people.
I recommend coaching specially if it is with you, it meets individuals needs brings
about clarity and transformation a big thank you.

Being coached by Edith
My experience of the sessions was very positive, very well explained to me by Edith,
and if I needed to ask any questions as well as help she was only to happy to.It
made me feel much more confident and happy just talking things through also with

Her setting goals with me that were achievable and realistic.I know feel much happier,
on my journey of self discovery,I am also now 9 months into my counselling course
which I never thought I could do as I had no confidence, but since being coached by

by you, it has empowered me now to be able to tackle things I never thought I could,
the sessions worked very well for me thank you.

The workshop experience
"The workshop allows a group of people to come togather in a grounded environment.
The exercises take participants to a place of self-discovery, understanding and an ability
to start the processes of achieving our goals on our path to success.

It provided me with new set of tools and taught me about traits in myself that I can now
apply in my day-to-day life.Edith is an inspiring and supportive group leader.  Her
open-hearted and gentle guidance creates a space that allows for profound transformation"

Workshop - Confidence Building  23 -02-2013

Being a part of the workshop ‘confidence building’ really has helped me learn a lot about myself.  Confidence to me is being comfortable with who you are around people you are familiar and unfamiliar with. Throughout the workshop I found there was many things I had never noticed in my own behaviour, sometimes people play as if they are  confident but really they are just hiding be hide who they really are, behind there layers. One activate that stood out for me was ‘Fear in a hat’. This was because I noticed a lot of my surrounded peers had felt the same way as me or they had put in the hat very similar fears, this did make me feel a lot more at ease to discuss what was actually in that hat. From the activate I learned that everyone has layers and cover things up,  it’s just some are not comfortable with discussing what was in the hat, we all have layers, I felt like I had taken some off, confidently. 

I found after the workshop It was easier for me discuss things that I wasn’t too comfortable and just doing certain things in general, since this workshop I have well and truly grown as a person. Lastly I have learnt that no one is born with confidence, it can be learnt as it is a skill.

Workshop - Model Of Confidence 30- 03- 2013

The following up workshop of confidence building ‘Model of confidence’ was very successful for me as it was very interactive, I got the chance to talk about my passion, what  I strive to be in the near future and what I'm going to  do to get there. First I need confidence, enough to make me change the things I'm doing now to have something better. 

The beach ball activate, with all the questions on it was so that we could ask ourselves about our goals, future and how we’re going to get there ect.  I thought that it was helpful and I really did enjoy answering the questions I got. I don't think I would have asked myself theses questions if I had not done this activity, the confidence lacks sometimes and we are not able to ask these questions let alone answer them. I would really love one day to accomplish all the things I mention in the workshop i.e. Have my own art business and branch off from there. From the workshop I learned that anyone can do what they put their mind to. If you have the confidence you can do anything you want, you can be LIKE anyone you want, not be them but have the things they have and stop wishing and start living.

Confidence building

Going to this workshop really helped me a lot. I found that with Edith going through all the motions with the group made me aware of all the issues I had going on in my head. By going to a workshop that focused solely on confidence building I found that I was able to pin point the areas of concern when it came to my confidence and then it was a lot easier to figure out different routes and solutions to overcome that wall in my mind. I found the 'Fear in a Hat' really helpful as it allowed me to get advice on my fears and worries without people knowing it was me.I liked how each fear was talked about in depth, this also showed me that we aren't alone in what we feel, there is always someone who feels the same as you and the people involved in this workshop start to feel like a family.

Model of confidence

I found this workshop, on top of the other one, very helpful. Not only did we have an idea of what was needed for confidence but we were able to choose someone who we thought had that confidence we wanted to possess and take aspects of their nature and work them into ourselves. I understand that it will take a long time to build confidence, as it is something that is gained, but the workshops help a great deal. I really loved the 'Beach Ball Activity' as you had to face fears and answer the question whether it made you feel uncomfortable. it let out true feelings as you had no time to come up with answers it was all very spontaneous.
