Testimonials

Although I am a very self-motivated person, I have found that working with Maria has helped me to focus on my goals and clarify the steps that I need to take to reach them. Maria's incisive questioning led me to consider ideas that had not arisen when I worked through my goals alone. Her listening and summarising of my thoughts made me realise the true value of working with a coach.One of the difficulties in my life is keeping a good work/life balance, especially when studying several courses alongside working. Coaching in this area helped me to produce a study plan, schedule my appointments better, and prioritise my to-do list. In turn this allowed me to spend time with family and friends and to enjoy my hobbies without feeling guilty about spending time away from my desk.

I remember the first session as a very important one: I was surprised about having the opportunity to think and talk about myself (challenges I had overcome, my skills, my desires for the future…) on a deep level but in a relaxed, easy way. We also spent some time in making sure that coaching was the real support I needed at that time to achieve my goal. I felt listened and respected all the time and I found the way she talked to me reassuring and supportive. Sometimes I was amazed by discovering how many options and possibilities I had to approach my goal.

Reinforcement and enthusiasm from the coach did help me a lot when not feeling very confident about getting where I wanted/ needed to go.

After the session sometimes I ask myself very similar questions to the ones my coach asked me during the session, it is like the coaching process goes on even after the time I spent with Maria.

I feel very grateful to Maria for giving me the chance to explore some recurrent issues in my life. I also want to thank her because now I feel more able to look at those issues in a more proactive way.

I love Life Coaching! It has given me the chance to consider my priorities and to focus on what I want to achieve in my life. Talking to my coach and being deeply listened has allowed me to reflect on what really matter. Thinking of a deadline by when I want to achieve a certain goal and creating an action plan has made me progress fast towards my targets. Maria Assunta is a very sensitive, understanding and quick-witted person whose help and support has been crucial through the coaching experience.
