Laura Pointer and another client describe how working with coach Katie McManus increased their confidence and rates, landed them a major client that paid for six months of coaching, and gave them better sleep and more free evenings. They compare where they were in January to where they landed by July.
Yeah, no, it's great to be able to actually think, you know what, I am doing something.
I love being out in the big wide world without relying on other people. Feels good.
Money and me are now really good.
Pals, as daft as that sounds. I was able to increase my day rate, you know, being able to turn down work and not just panic.
I am actually getting recruiters reaching out.
To me more than I ever did. You know, I had a friend tell me recently that I've become a LinkedIn influencer, which made me giggle because I'm really not.
So the dogs are definitely in a.
Good standard of biscuit that they are happy with and I'm happy to pay myself some more as well. And my long term ambition is to be able to have an animal sanctuary. But actually being in a position where I can start saving to actually make that sort of stuff happen is phenomenal for me.
My evenings now are so much freer.
It's just me and the dogs having a lovely time, having lovely walks, getting.
Out in the fresh air and making sure I'm getting some sleep, which I think actually makes me better at work.
Anyway, because I'm not as knackered.
The client I signed midway through working.
With Katie was a chunky one for.
Me and compared to what I'd actually.
Spent on the six months with Katie was huge, massively way more than I paid her.
Just a huge thank you.
Because like I say, if you actually take the step back and consider where.
I was in January to where I.
Am now in July, it's poles apart, friendly, bonkers, but in a good way.
And actually really insightful. She's. Yeah, she's a complete bundle of energy.
And without a doubt one of my biggest cheerleaders.
Oddly, I think she saw more in.
Me than I did to begin with.
Actually. The group were incredibly supportive, actually. The whole was greater than the sum of its parts because actually everybody having that input meant you got something bigger out the other side or it felt like that. Yeah, it does feel like I'm now.
Genuinely moving forward rather than going over the same ground with different people.
