Comments on Jeremy and Kay's course,
Being more assertive

“I will definitely be putting the knowledge that I’ve learnt into practice… Found this very enjoyable. Has made me feel that I’m not alone and definitely looking forward to the next 3 sessions”
“Very useful ways and techniques in how to be more assertive… The layout and content was spot on. Excellent variety and very worthwhile. I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Invaluable”

Carl Wheatley, partner, Bridge
(an experienced marketing and design agency)
on the Fundamentals of success course

“I have always been a strong people person, yet I’ve not always been able to build rapport with everyone. This course has given me insight into what my role is in the business relationship, how what I believe and do affects my ability to develop rapport in situations where it doesn’t come naturally.

"I took a lot of traditional style management practice at face value. Yet this doesn’t give you any help in dealing with people’s reactions to you. The training programme has given me a set of diagnostic tools to work with people. If you know what’s going on, you have a context which enables you to make choices about how to act. You can influence business relationships for the better. However difficult the situation a business relationship might appear to be in, the course always shows a way forward.”

on Jeremy Marchant

"Jeremy Marchant has had a profound impact on the business even though he has only being working with us for just over four months! After the initial evaluation of the company he prepared a coaching plan which prioritised areas where we both felt needed immediate attention. As a business we had gone through a significant period of growth and were suffering as a result, Jeremy has given us the control back and taken the stress out of running a successful business.

"His approach to coaching encompasses everything you would expect, but then there is always more than meets the eye with Jeremy! His knowledge in areas such as "Emotional Intelligence" have really helped us manage our clients expectations and we have totally overhauled our contract procedures as a result."

"Thank you so much for the Life Coaching sessions we've had. I know that some people are cynical about this sort of activity but I really didn't know enough to feel that way! I embarked upon the sessions with an open mind and found the exercises intriguing. ... Some of the exercises meant having to think about things I haven't considered for a long time, if ever. This could have been unnerving but your approach put me at ease and I had every confidence that I was discussing personal details in a completely confidential environment. I would even go so far as to say that the experience was curiously enjoyable!

"I have now recommended your service to a number of people and can't speak highly enough of the whole experience. I felt positively elated at the last session when I felt I had reached a conclusion and had a very clear sense of direction. This was a pleasant surprise and I don't feel that I could have asked for more."

Irene Thomas, journalist and teacher
on Kay McMahon

Just one hour with Ms McMahon was enough to not only unburden me from a resentment I had been stuck with, but also to allow me to clear my mind about some big future decisions. Her calming, warm approach made me feel safe and secure and permitted me to open up to her as well as to my own thoughts."

Anne Chambers, Deputy Head, Bristol
on Kay McMahon

Having coaching sessions with Kay really helped me to unscramble the whirlwind of thoughts in my mind. After each session my mind was clearer and I was much more focused. The best thing is the way she introduced me to looking at things in a different way. I have developed more positive thought patterns and the strategies she introduced me to have stayed with me and become part of my toolkit for dealing with life.

Carrie Rose, Cirencester
on Kay McMahon

Having had a long-standing fear around money and my belief in my ability to ever make (and keep) any, after the first session with Kay I've now started a new business with a total belief that I CAN both make and keep the stuff. My fear seems to have evaporated. I'm very grateful.

For me, doing Steps to Leadership with Kay has been life changing - I'm so much easier on myself and have great insight and tools I can turn to when necessary.
