SELECTION OF CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Michelle, Our coaching has been so benificial to me in my current role within the recruitment industry.
The recruitment industry has taken a beating over the last 11 months since the economic down turn. The coaching I received from you helped me push through the tough times, keeping me motivated  and supporting me with the implementation of strategies to help manage my time, stress, clients and sales activity. The coaching has helped me become a respected consultant within an international company, and has also lead to a major award nationally.
Great coaching!!!

Business coaching with Coach and Co lifted our awareness, allowing us to focus on outcomes and avoid the road blocks and distractions that had too often hindered our progress.
James Peddie
Farmer, AgriBusiness Owner

Thank you both for a job well done as business coaches for the ‘Coach Approach to Achieving Practice Change’ Project for Department of Primary Industries. During the time this project ran, I was most impressed with your professionalism and the manner in which you both handled the twin responsibilities of meeting my expectations as project manager (and need to know everything in detail) while maintaining the farmer client’s privacy. It is a difficult task to manage and you both did it with grace and delivered a very informative evaluation without compromising the farmer’s identity.

I was also impressed with your abilities to meet the very tight deadlines I placed upon you as well as the compromises the project demanded in terms creating the less than ideal coaching experience. You are both very knowledgeable coaches with an easy going manner that helped develop excellent rapport with myself and the farmers. The feedback I have received from the farmers so far has highlighted that farmers too can benefit from business and life coaching and that coaching is a complimentary tool to any training and development program.

I look forward to working with you both again in the future.

Yours Sincerely
Kristy Howard
The Department of Primary Industries

Michelle seems to be some kind of miracle worker! “Her ability to instigate change in my life is so exciting. I’m a total advocate for this woman! Thank you Michelle!!!”

Simon, I want to thank you so sincerely for the guidance and the expertise you gave throughout your 6 week phone coaching sessions. Your ability to open the window to clarity and to assist me in saying what it was I was actually thinking, rather than me just ruminating was so helpful. Your ability also to listen (often to what was NOT said) and offer options to my thoughts and ideas with such subtlety and without a sense of intrusion has allowed for me to think about what IS possible.

While my days may not yet be filled with the hum of happy customers and the chatter of inspired book readers I have no doubt that that time will come. Your assistance has offered me the chance to realise that my goals are, indeed attainable and I am now closer to living a more fulfilled life than I have been for some time.

Thanks again for your support.
With thanks and warm regards

Simon, Thankyou for the life changing experience. Your assistance throughout our performance coaching sessions has really opened my eyes!
Identifying goals and achieving them was something I struggled with in the past.
However the coaching techniques used has provided me with motivation I didn't think was possible. I look forward to continuing to use these invaluable skills and will recommend coaching in high regard.

I have appreciated so much Michelle's understanding of my workplace goals she is so empowering, so spot on so many times it is as if she has been here before. Thankyou Michelle.

I always looked forward to the frank and fearless conversations that took place with Michelle. It was excellent to be free to speak to an independent person and to receive frank feedback.
CS Executive Director, State Government

I was initially very cautious about participating in coaching - and put it off for some time - even though I had very good feedback from others I hold in high regard, concerning their experiences with Coach & Co.
The relationship that Michelle developed with me, in a very short space of time, put the majority of my fears at rest and certainly very early in the second session I was completely at ease with the process and Michelle.
Michelle gave me both the good and bad feedback (my words) in a manner that allowed me to take all comments on board and plan strategies that I had not have even thought of.
There were numerous tips that Michelle gave me that I have no doubt enhanced my skills without compromising my ethics. These tips alone justified the program.

Michelle, I just wanted to thank you for the fantastic opportunity of undertaking coaching with you. I think it is rare for us to truly question ourselves, our actions and our ideas and having you do that honestly and impartially with my best interests at heart, was at times challenging and even a little confronting but very rewarding.
I will continue to reap the benefits for some time. I look forward to the next time I undertake coaching and will relish the growth and self-awareness that come with it. Thank you again for everything it really was a great experience.
Emma McDonald
Project Manager - William Angliss Tafe


I have learned a lot about myself through our coaching - what motivates me, and inhibits my ability to do the best I can.
I’m able to say no and negotiate more effectively without feeling guilty. I now understand the benefits to my confidence and self-esteem by taking greater responsibility for my work. By being patient, paying attention to detail and being thorough I am working towards my dream Executive role. 
I now allow time for myself to ‘recover’ and become inspired again on my days off, have become more organized and professional and not so apprehensive in talking through problems. I am calmer in the way I approach almost everything, I don’t feel under pressure or stressed.
The coaching has been such a benefit for my lifestyle and the way I approach tasks. Thank you so much for your support Michelle it means a great deal to me.
