Coaching Testimonials

Dear Bernadette. Thank you so much for your continuing support and encouragement. Although lost in direction and emotionally “swamped” with choices and opportunities you helped me to put life in perspective to grow my businesses and to retain the essence of a happy family life. Bernadette, you have an incredible calming and generous nature. I found in your presence and through our discussions I was able to gain clarity, direction and to focus on what was important. Every time we parted I left with a smile and bounce in my step eager to enjoy the moment while planning for the exciting future. I am reminded of the quote from David Geffen (billionaire film producer) “Anyone who thinks money will make you happy hasn’t got money. Happy is harder than money.” Thank you Bernadette for sharing in my happiness.  Lisa – Business Owner and mother of two. Mt Maunganui, NZ

Wow….Bernadette has great coaching skills. She has such a unique way of honing what we discuss to make it clear as a bell.

Doug Bordeau, Michigan, USA

The passion that Bernadette has for coaching, and assisting people to achieve a life full of joy comes across loud and clear during her interactions. I am having the pleasure of Bernadette guide me and keep my attention focused on the best way for me to step unerringly forward to realizing my goals. With her loving wisdom and wide range of skills, I am finding myself confident and happy to do what is necessary, knowing that she is there…with an outside perspective, nurturing guidance and a constant reminder that I don’t have to do this alone. Thank you Bernadette, for helping me realize the many strengths I didn’t know I had. Karen Gilhespy, Great Britain

Dear Bernadette,
When I look back at what we covered over the last two months of life coaching I am overwhelmed with gratitude. I have lived with ‘busy-ness” buzzing around in my head for nearly 50 years. Maybe I’m not perfectly relaxed yet but with your perceptive skills, deep compassion – and humour, you have given me both a clear new way of looking at life, and concrete and specific strategies relevant to me for my situations. I am grateful for the insights you gave me in to my business and the clarity I then developed around where I would be best to direct my energies. You always acted in a professional manner but I would like to abbreviate some of Roy Crofts words to express the warmth you bring to your coaching –“ I am grateful for you putting your hand in to my heaped-up heart, passing over all the weak and foolish things and for drawing out in to the light all its beautiful belongings”. Bernadette I would have no hesitation in recommending you as a Life Coach because I know you have the uncanny ability to cut straight to what a person is searching for and then to collaboratively develop a vision, relevant goals and realistic steps to achieve that vision. Wendy Barton, Tauranga, NZ

Dear Bernadette
As soon as you spoke at the Her Network meeting, I knew you were exactly what I needed to get me back on track. Thank you so much for all your caring and help during our coaching sessions. I feel like a new person already and I am looking forward to achieving my goals and setting new ones along the way. I would definitely recommend you to anyone who is in need of a life coach. Alayne Keogh, Tauranga, New Zealand

It’s a great feeling to have Bernadette as your coach. I found her insightful and inspirational. She helped me organise and prioritise my thoughts and goals, and seemed to recognise just what I needed. I highly recommend Bernadette. AM Maher, Waikanae, NZ
