Coaching Feedback
We thought you might like to see what some of our recent young clients have said about their coaching with AlterEgo. These clients range from 13 – 21 years old.
"Coaching is without doubt one of the most useful experiences of my life."
"Coaching has helped me to identify what I would like to achieve both in the next few months and also further into the future – but more importantly it has given me the confidence to actually go out and do it."
"My main problem was motivating myself and by giving me clearly defined goals I was able to stop dwelling on the overall size of what I had to do and just concentrate on what I was going to do in the next few days. It was also helpful to have somebody external looking at what I was doing to tell me what I was doing well and where I could improve."
"Coaching has really helped me to bridge the gap between being an older child and a young adult."
"Coaching has given me so much confidence; I have gone from being extremely self-conscious and fairly quiet, to a very self assured young person who realises her individual talents, her dreams and all the opportunities that are available to her."
"I found myself wanting to achieve a higher standard than the one I had initially wanted to achieve."
"I decided that life coaching would be a positive thing for me to do after I realised that I had applied for a course at university that I didn't really want to study, and had chosen it for completely the wrong reasons. I therefore outlined that through coaching I would like to pinpoint what I would like to study, or what I would like to achieve in the next year. After my four sessions, I have a place at university for September, and I am so excited about it that even a reading list with 42 books for my first term couldn't put me off. I fulfilled far beyond what I could've even dreamt of achieving."
"Definitely try it and see how you get on. You will find yourself considering things that you hadn't considered before and questioning your own decisions, and you will more than likely find this very helpful."
"Coaching gave me an opportunity to talk to someone who didn't have the same parental-type views as my Mum, and yet didn't speak to me in hush-hush tones as though I was some kind of troubled teenager."
"I am more willing to take advice on board and to reassess decisions and plans that I have already made."
"The coaching helped me to stop procrastinating and get on with my work. It also helped me better prepare for projects and tests."
"Coaching allowed me to find my own priorities, and work out what was best for me as an individual. Sometimes when you talk about things with your parents, you forget that it is your own life and at the end of the day you should make your own decisions, but also that those decisions can come with your own consequences."
"Do it! Talk to your Mum or Dad and ask them to arrange it for you."
