When I decided to approach Val, my husband and I were in the ideas stage of a new business, we needed a practical steer on how to make the idea a reality. I’m really pleased to say the ‘idea’ is now a fully functioning business and we are seeing it grow on a monthly basis. It’s fair to say we wouldn’t have gotten to this point without Val’s support, knowledge and helpful strategies.

Thanks Val for yesterday and everything! Your help and guidance in my business continues to be invaluable. I used to live to work and now I work to live! Surprisingly as soon as I created space for self care it was like magic - more business than I had ever hoped for - work life balance is back and so is my health. Looking forward to what’s coming next.

I had a 1-2-1 coaching session with Val and she was amazing. I was stuck and unsure as to how to get my business launched. She guided me through the process and steps I need to take to ensure I get there. Val has a wealth of knowledge and great experience in the industry which instantly made me feel assured about booking her as my coach. I came out of the session feeling motivated, confident (which I certainly wasn’t before!) and eager to get planning the months ahead.

I decided to take Val's coaching program as my business is still quite new and I felt that I had entered a room with so many doors to choose from but didn't know what door to open. I found that with Val's coaching programme the doors and many paths available to me quickly started to have number on them telling me what order to use them in. She listened to my problems worries and anxieties and was able to put things into perspective for me.

Working with Val has been extremely helpful and kept me motivated. She really listened to my concerns was empathetic and very skilfull in helping me find achievable solutions. I particularly love that Val is very supportive, encouraging and although most entrepreneurs struggle with similar issues she does not treat you with a 'one size fits all' answer. Plus, Val has a knack of making business coaching invigorating and exciting! I will definitely be back for a top up.

When I signed into Val’s new social media group for entrepreneurs…. I did so with a little bit of trepidation, not sure whether it was right for me and whether I was right for it. My connection was Val – someone I’ve known professionally for over 25 years. But did I really appreciate what she now does in her coaching business and all the other fantastic networks that she also contributes to. To be fair, the answer to that is a big fat no. I had no clue. And a feel a little bad about that – as another lawyer who has tried to reinvent herself – I really should have paid some more attention – cos she’s really good!

I just wanted to share with you all, my personal experience of Val’s coaching. When I signed up I didn't really know what I wanted – or expected, I had never had private coaching before . I knew I was running around like a headless chicken trying to be all things to all...... The very first conversation I had with Val was all about creating more quality time... for me and my family... not 25hours a day on the business only..... such simple things were talked about and put into place.... I used to come away thinking “why on earth couldn't I think of that?”
