When you feel like there is no getting out—you are where you are and you do not have a plan for change—it is discouraging.

 

​

Before coaching, I just felt, like...stuck.

 

Working with Daryl, I learned something about myself and found an action step to move forward one session at a time.

 

​

When doing coaching, I felt like, "I am not where I want to be, but I have a plan to get there."

 

She provided me with notes from the high point of each session and I reviewed them and my next steps. It helped keep me on track in between sessions.

 

 

Knowing I had another appointment gave me something to look forward to and I felt encouraged by that and hopeful.

 

​

Those multiple sessions were key. People need small enough pieces or they get overwhelmed.

 

While it was happening it did not seem like progress, but when we looked back I could see that I’d come a long way.

 

​

Through coaching with Daryl, I started finding myself…

 

​

At first, I felt like I wanted other people to change, but you changing has an impact on the situation you’re in. My change, my approach, and my communication all affected my relationships…

 

​

I feel more confident.

 

​

You look at all other situations differently. It has ripple effects to every other part of your life.

 

I built more trust with the most important people in my life; we put in a lot of work to understand each other.

​

I can do other things now, too.

 

​

Coaching helped me set boundaries at work.

​

​

Now I feel completely ok saying I cannot stop everything to do something for a coworker...

​

​

I feel like I was buried in everyone else's expectations and after coaching I started finding me and who I was.

 

​

The more I stayed true to myself each day—every time I acted on things I wanted that were me—I started opening up and I felt the pressure come off.

 

I used to feel lost and dread the typical challenges that would come up in my life. Now when I encounter situations that used to be difficult it’s like when you take a test and a question comes up and you think, "I know this, I know what to do!"

 

​

It’s exciting. I trust myself. I am true to myself.
