Testimonials

“My coaching sessions with Pat ensured I was much better equipped to take the next step in my career. It helped me challenge the way I had been thinking about my opportunities for the future. The process and Pat’s style of clear and thoughtful questioning helped me to explore and identify those areas of my work I got the most satisfaction out of. As a result I was left feeling excited and looking forward to the next challenge. I will always be very grateful and fully appreciative of the sincerity of Pat’s coaching.”

I’ve always believed that the only person that can help you make life and work choices is you. I still believe that, but what Pat did for me was help me uncloud my thoughts and by a combination of listening and insightful questions, unlock the clarity in my thinking that was buried underneath all the noise. Sometimes, you just need a little bit of help seeing the real you.

Following a traumatic event in my life, I utilised the coaching services of Pat Scott. Throughout this period, I found her to be unceasingly caring, empathetic, non-judgmental, open and approachable. Before the life-coaching sessions commenced, Pat ensured that her service was appropriate for my individual circumstances by assessing my situation and what I anticipated to be the outcome of life-coaching. She was also open about the short-term nature of life-coaching, clearly expressing that a small number of sessions would probably be sufficient. I feel that this is testament to her integrity, honesty and genuine regard for my well-being. It also allowed us to begin our sessions in a collaborative spirit, in which she helped and encouraged me to identify strategies, motivations and a focus for moving forward. She introduced the use of positive affirmations and helped me to draw from the positive aspects of my life, yielding new perspectives and realistic thinking about potential opportunities for growth and solution. Pat fully understood the extent of my feelings and the impact these emotions were having on my life. I felt respected and confident that every session would remain solely focused on my needs. Pat is an active, skilled listener who gave me her full attention and allowed me time to express myself. I feel that I benefited enormously from Pat’s coaching sessions.

“Pat in her capacity as a coach has an obvious ability to work with senior leaders to draw out their potential. Her insight into the psychological aspects of performance ensures that she manages coaching interactions where the coachee feels secure to open up and explore new options for how they behave and interact with their teams. Clients walk away with a renewed sense of purpose and commitment to leading authentically.”

I was at a crossroads in my work. I loved parts of it but found other aspects of it draining. During coaching, I learned so much about the importance of my values in all areas of my life. It gave me the courage to do extra training and apply for a different position. I got the job!

I was stuck in a rut with regard to moving myself to another level in developing my own coaching business so it was important to find the right person who could help me see a way forward. From our initial contact, I felt an immediate affinity with Pat and felt her warmth and friendliness shone through. Pat helped me to see how I was underestimating myself through lack of self-belief. Through the coaching process I was able to identify the personal qualities and attributes I took for granted. Feeling more empowered as a result of our sessions together I felt a new drive and determination to move forward and have since gone on to implement my proposed plans successfully.

I would strongly recommend Pat Scott as an excellent coach who uses her coaching abilities to get right to the core issues.

I would highly recommend Pat Scott as a skilled, insightful coach. My sessions with Pat gave me the opportunity to explore work issues which seemed overwhelming at times. With Pat’s intuition, I was able to explore my priorities, set goals and see a clear and achievable action plan. I was impressed with Pat’s integrity and her personal qualities which allowed me to safely and confidentially explore these issues and provide me with a catalyst for growth and change in my work and personal life.

“Incisive, sincere and bold. Pat has helped me get back in charge. Her guidance has been an adventure and a pleasure”

Starting a new job can be a daunting process at the best of times but when you take over an already successful service you can be filled with doubt at your ability to take it forward. I attended Pat’s coaching sessions over a period of time and through these sessions I was able to realise my own potential. I set myself achievable goals and was able to change things without feeling guilty. Pat was a great listener. I felt I could talk to her about my personal concerns and issues but knew she was completely trustworthy and interested in how I felt. Through these sessions I felt myself grow as a person and a leader. I felt more confident in my ability to take the service forward and encourage others within the service.
