A truly excellent programme – ideal for anyone feeling stuck or unable to make progress on their own. I found it incredibly helpful in shifting my negative outlook and navigating personal struggles. The visual tools provided were especially powerful in helping me manage emotions and develop a more positive mindset. One key strategy I took away was learning to voice my opinions more and consciously focus on the positives in life. I really appreciated the practical tools shared and Debs’ personal stories, which felt relatable and relevant to my own challenges. Doing the homework and taking action after each session pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped break unhelpful habits. I now feel more capable and confident to handle whatever life throws at me. I would highly recommend this programme to anyone facing challenges or needing support and accountability to make lasting change.

Overall I assessed the programme very high. Debs was professional and went the extra mile to support me while being totally honest regarding my skills and she was patient and empathetic and encouraged me along the way. Debs has a lot of knowledge. I felt the programme was well organised, professional and well delivered. I learnt my limitations after the 12x sessions, my strengths and weaknesses to work on It provided an insight into how to start a small business. The correct way to do things in business and highlighted the mistakes that you can make and learn from. I would recommend the Business Coaching and Mentoring Programme to others especially if they had business experience and knowledge beforehand which would help. If they had no experience in business the process might take a longer than 12 sessions. It helped me to focus more on key aspects. The programme also
An excellent programme, well structured to deliver presentations and learn areas for improvements. I'd encourage everyone to just go 'do it!' It may be daunting but you will absolutely be glad you did it. I learned that practice practice practice gives you more confidence. I loved using the mind maps to write speeches and being able to talk just from an outline, mind map and / or slides without writing everything out. I'd recommend this programme wholeheartedly. It's a fast way to upskill yourself in giving presentations / speeches. My biggest gain was being able to throw away the written notes rather than having everything written word for word and to trust myself to talk to my topic. Loved the mind map session for speech structure and memory and learning how to pause rather than use gap fillers. Awareness of how to use body language was another useful skill learned.
The programme provided a great opportunity to become more comfortable with public speaking I would recommend this programme to anyone who wants to gain good skills and practice them as well as providing an opportunity to present in a safe environment This programme teaches you a great way to structure presentations and help improve your skills Each session had comprehensive feedback and evaluation which was extremely helpful I enjoyed the practice at each session and to see each participant’s skills increase I understood the importance of eye contact, losing the gap fillers and the importance of structuring a presentation I loved the programme, its structure and the ability to practice in a safe environment The self-critique and feedback provided helped me a lot within the programme I liked receiving the feedback and having the practice to give presentations I learned the importance of structure and losing gap fillers I learned
I feel the seminar was very useful and will help me deal with people in the real world iMA not only provided an eye-opening look at my team but it was also an exploration of who I am and how I interact with others It was a fun and collaborative seminar and a great way to get to know my team It gave me a different perspective to how different high colours work and how different communication styles relate to each other as well as what approach to take It was great to identify stress symptoms and the likely behaviour of different people I loved understanding how everyone has different behaviours to me, and I need to be mindful of this when communicating with others I understood different iMA colours, behaviours and stress traits in others The seminar was a great way to learn self-awareness and how to communicate with
Debs got to know me and my business really well right from the start which made it easy to discuss what was going on in my head and business each time we met. I enjoyed being held accountable for my own actions and plans each session and Debs was great at bringing ideas I had with me out into the light. I liked how personal and business goals were just as important and broken down into manageable chunks. I enjoyed listening to Debs' alternative ideas and suggestions for my business and life. I liked being accountable and having something checked off each session. Key areas which helped was addressing and making decisions or taking actions around issues I don't feel like dealing with. Not rushing things or expecting them to happen right away. Some useful strategies I learned was not to jump at the first offer, and to not get
I found the Success Factor Speech Coaching Business Programme excellent. I loved the structure and the ability to play with that while practicing with Debs. I feel more confident and know now I can reach out if I need further support in the future. My experience with the programme was that it was tailored to my needs. I would wholly recommend Debs and this programme and would say that we can only improve when we make mistakes in an environment where we are fully supported, and then the growth is inevitable. Working with Debs has been an incredibly valuable experience! I've gained a solid framework for structuring my speeches, which has made a huge difference in my confidence and clarity. English is not my mother tong. Not only did I learn how to express my ideas effectively, but I also developed new strategies for staying committed to my goals. The
