I was experiencing career crisis, and I was very down for a long time. I had a wonderful discovery session with my coach from Sunglow Leadership international who helped me list down my top values from discovery session which I felt so aligned. On the way to meeting my coach for the 2nd session, I was thinking very loud that ‘I am having a career crisis and I most likely soon lose my job that I love as I am not recognised by top management. Yes she is a great coach but what can she do to change the situation? She can’t change my boss’s mind into keeping me for the job. She can’t do anything with our bank..’ However, my coach did a coaching exercise with me and I was literally smiling after it! I felt absolutely much lighter and was able to discover my strengths which helped me greatly come through the situation positively! When the 2nd session started my coach asked me to look at a mirror which was actually an iPhone camera and I saw an angry face and I even noticed my eyes were moist, but I did put smiles genuinely after the coaching practice. During the coaching period, I was gradually able to look at the critical points that turned to be turning points for turning my career crisis into a better job opportunity in the bank I work for, which led me act on it in a totally different manner and achieve things positively.

I eventually was able to look at the bigger picture and understand the company/management much better at the end of our coaching relationship. It turned out that I was offered a better job opportunity in our head office, which I hardly dreamed of it before.

The coaching program with Sunglow Leadership International totally empowered me and guided me though such a big crisis in my career and helped me make a break through!

I had a meaningful coaching relationship with Catherine. Her coaching has been instrumental in helping me to sort through my ideas to find my direction. Through the coaching sessions, I was able to formulate my ideas, and Catherine helped me realise that I wanted to set up and run my business and also how much I wanted to do this. Throughout the coaching session I realised that this aligns with my core values, which I discovered during the sessions.

I have cleared my mind, and deepened the understanding of myself through the coaching. I am now clearer with myself and more analytic as well. During the coaching relationship with Catherine, I have been able to let some limiting beliefs go, and now gained some positive new beliefs that make me believe in myself and helped me become more confident. I now feel empowered and feel really excited to pursue my own business I am ready for the next challenge!

Catherine was to me a warm, fun, dynamic but driven and determined person. Her humous style made me enjoy each session but at the same time her determination helped me focus on achieving my personal goals.

Sunglow has assigned a great coach to me. She is a great listener. I feel like she knows me much better than myself, which surprised me. She gave me a new dimension and techniques I have practised since our coaching program. She made me realise and make decision that I can change myself. She make me able to confront my greatest fears, which was impossible for me before.  As a result, I stopped avoiding the situations that I always had fear of  and now I just go handle the situation with growing confidence and the right mindset.

I have gained new life goals and become determined to keep on finding ways to identify the things I don’t like and find solutions to fix them. The Coach made me greatly step out of my comfort zone, that’s why I now can change! She made me brave. She made me realise and believe I am brave. She made me be able to control who I am. I now know much better about myself and I am able to change to be a better self.

I especially like the coach’s using Metaphor, which gave me a visual way to process complex situations. My Coach is absolutely helpful and encouraging. She is like a catalyst but also a carabiner- she worked with me to identify the directions, then lifted me up on the rock and created the room for me to climb and explore by myself but she is actually always there to hold me safe. Her questions helped me realize what is feasible and what is not.

One more thing I can’t forget to say is my coach is such a genuine person. I have learned a lot about the power of coaching from who she is and how she coaches.
