'When I look back to the
beginning of my work with Rob those days seem dark. The event that spurred
me on to finally begin coaching sessions with Rob turned out to be the
best thing that ever happened to me, even if it seemed like hell at the
time. I cannot tell you how far I've come in such a short time - it
really seemed impossible to me at the very beginning. But the
therapies and approaches Rob uses really do work quickly and effectively.
You must really want it for yourself and be open to change for it to work
to the full extent.
Rob has a natural ability in
this area of work and has a confidential and professional approach
with a little humour dropped in for good measure! The work I've done
has had fast results and has also required patience and hard work at
times. When we began, my goals were to gain confidence within myself
and in social situations. I also aimed to clear out some of the
baggage I was carrying around from an early age.
I felt desperate to conquer
these issues and move on from the dark place I'd come to, where I felt was
just existing rather than living. It is hard to put into words how
far I've come and how comfortable and confident I feel within myself now.
I don't compare myself to
other people to feel better any more, because I learnt throughout our work
that comparing myself to other people only makes me feel worse - it can
never make you feel better. I celebrate what I have and who I am - and
if someone doesn't like me, I don't get upset any more. I say well that's
life.
Week after week as I've grown
and changed I've drawn more and more positive people into my life and it's
truly amazing. It's called the law of attraction and it really
works.
I have tackled and blown out
many insecurities that were holding me back and I feel can achieve
anything I want now. The last session was very exciting
setting 5 year goals. You really can achieve and have what you want
if you want it enough and are willing to work for it.
Working with Rob has totally
changed my life for the better and although I've made changes & worked
hard I could not have done it without the coaching direction and therapies
from him. Thank you so much Rob and I promise to keep on working on
myself as I begin my new life in Istanbul'

'Robert has a true gift in
making people feel comfortable and at ease especially when it comes to
expressing their inner most thoughts/feelings and ways of thinking. His
understanding of how the mind works and how it affects every aspect of our
lives is incredible.
In his non-judgmental way he often unscrambles my
words into precise phrases bringing increased clarity. His ever positive,
enlightened approach in turn leaves the client feeling positive about achieving
their goals and dismissing their limiting belief systems.
By making the
client conscious of their negative thought patterns and old ways of
feeling and thinking, Robert subtly pushes you toward greater things whether
it be in career, relationships, or hobbies etc. I have learned through
coaching that all
dysfunctional feelings have been learned... and can, with time, be
unlearned and replaced with positive, genuine confidence.
Robert encourages the use of
various meditation CD's to alleviate stress, anxiety, anger,
depression... all associated with states of mind. His knowledge of self
help books, nutrition and the working of the mind is excellent.
I would thoroughly recommend
Robert to all those who are looking to move forward in their lives on a
spiritual or personal level'

'Have you ever felt that you
were on a Merry Go Round that was going so fast that you couldn’t get off?
That’s how I used to feel – I had been treated for a serious illness, I
had a bereavement in tragic circumstances, I had issues with family
relationships and I was stressed out at work. I knew I had to do something
to change how I felt but I didn’t know what.
Luckily, it was at that point in time that I met Robert from Get Coached. Robert
empowered me to regain control of my life. He helped me to focus on the
factors that were contributing to how I felt, and using various
techniques, enabled me to rid myself of many negative thoughts and feelings.
Robert
helped me to set clear goals in all aspects of my life – not just at work - and as I worked towards those goals, I started to feel better about
myself. Robert
also taught me that there is no point dwelling on the past because it
can’t be changed – and no point in worrying about the future because none
of us can predict what might happen in time to come.
All
this made perfect sense and meant I wasn’t using up valuable time & energy
worrying about something I had no control over. My life
now is much calmer and work is a breeze. I still catch myself ‘slipping
back’ to my old ways sometimes but I now have the awareness to recognise it and can take steps
to get back on track.
Robert
doesn't perform miracles but the difference you will feel in yourself is
priceless'

'My
coaching experience with Robert has been both pleasurable and very
insightful. His overall manner has been clear, positive and calming with
a healthy dose of humour thrown in. Initially, I was reticent and
unwilling to give myself the time for the sessions.
I knew it was
something I needed to do but someone else or something else was always
getting in the way, I was 'Miss Procrastinator'!!
Rob's
gentle persuasion has encouraged me to maintain my level of commitment and start
my journey on the road to self happiness and satisfaction.
Since
having coaching I feel like my mind has had a spring clean, giving
me renewed faith that with Rob as my coach I alone have the
answers to make what I want happen, the only person stopping me doing and
feeling what I want is me!
I have already lost weight due to sustained
healthy eating and put in place concrete exercise plans. Career wise I
got the salary rise I was wanting thanks to Rob's coaching specifically
targeting this topic. I still have a way to go but I now realise that with
his support I can achieve all my goals.
Overall, Robert is a true
professional, who I would gladly recommended him. Everyone should
have a coach like Rob, it's definitely the way forward'

'Robert
definitely has an ability to see deeper into people’s real issues and this
gives him brilliant flashes of insight which can shift the whole session
forward'

'Rob's
style of coaching is warm and approachable; he has an easy non-judgmental
manner with a balanced way of looking at things. He never puts words in my
mouth, rather he allows me to draw my own conclusions, which in turn
motivates and empowers me.
I can talk to him about any
aspect of my life and he will guide me through a process which allows me to
find a way of looking differently at any issue and come away with solid
action steps I can take to positively change the situation. I always feel
happy and lighter after a session with Rob!'

'After my first session with Rob
I started taking actions towards my goal. Now I’m on my way to become an
excellent coach myself, I’m writing my last assignment and getting clients
myself to train on. Rob, thank you for your support, I'm on my way to success'
Marina
Personal Development Coach
'From feeling
overworked, stressed, completely burnt out with my mind running away with too
many thoughts that didn’t really matter, I knew I must change and do
something to calm my inner self, and to then find out what really
mattered to me, i.e. my true purpose.
Initially I was
feeling worn out, lacking in starting energy, even though I knew this was what
was needed. My leisure time had turned into work preoccupation time rather
than enjoyment or relaxation. Robert, through various techniques, coached me to
get me to identify where I was and where I wanted to be. An interesting
occurrence took place during this period where my previous beliefs around
where I thought I should be focusing I found to actually be untrue. Thus, I
was following a path that really didn’t mean a lot to me deep inside. This
was creating a self-depredating downward spiral, which was sapping my energy.
Following this we reviewed my deeply rooted beliefs and key areas including
health, career, environment, personal development & relationships were
brought to the fore as my key areas. The identification of my desired outcomes
in each of these along with why I wanted such was analysed.
Overall Robert's coaching has resulted in me feeling that my life is no
longer confused. I have clear actions, based on my beliefs that were brought
from within me and not suggested, i.e. my true beliefs and wants. The stress
isn’t there now as I know where and what I want to be, and because I am aware of
this I feel no pressure to act now as I can spend quality time on each area
when I want to. The relief is knowing that this is the right direction unlike
before when I didn’t even realise that what I thought I wanted was in fact
at a tangent to my real life needs.
In conclusion,
although the process is not finished, I can now see a life path that is more
fulfilling, and my energies are now focused towards this. Throughout the process
Robert’s style has allowed a great rapport and trust to develop which I feel
has only added to my success. This is due to his approach and calm
persona which I feel has rubbed off a little onto me. I am now able to spend quality
time on what I want rather than worrying about issues that in the grand scheme
of things don’t really matter'
