Una Doyle - The Confidence Coach
 So how did I end up here, you might ask yourself? Along my journey, it's a question that I have certainly asked myself! I actually realised that I wanted to be a coach and help people to change their lives a few years before I did anything about it. Why? Because I didn't think it was realistic. Realistic - do you know I think the world would be a better place if that word, together with 'try' and 'but' were banned! How many people out in the world already know what they want to do and yet never do it? They don't even admit it to themselves, let alone anyone else. It's all about confidence. I sat in my first coaching seminar and thought, "I'd love to do that!" Perhaps if I'd had the foresight to hire a coach for ongoing work it wouldn't have taken me another three years before I started! I had reached rock bottom about a year before when my marriage ended. Not necessarily because it ended, more because the process had forced me to examine my life. I was frustrated in my work. I wasn't being recognised for my contribution (I thought), I was depressed and broke. I was ready to look forward and coaching helped me to do that, in a positive way that changed my thinking and I made gradual progress. What I did in that three years before becoming a coach benefited me too. I'm a great believer in things happening for a reason. Perhaps I needed to have experienced the frustrations of some of that in-between time to benefit my clients... Looking back on my life, every single thing I have done has brought here to this moment and had meaning. All the customer service, sales and marketing jobs I did mean that I know how to get and keep clients. My work in employee communications and change management and studies mean that I really understand how organisations struggle to implement change. They just need to focus on the individual. Even the year I spent doing drama and dance when I left school (which many said was a waste of time!) means that I can do and adore public speaking and training. Since I became a coach with all my learning (and it continues!) and got a coach of my own, my life has transformed even more and I am happier than I have ever been in my life. This is what I want for you... I love coaching - I get a real kick out of helping people to change their lives! I treasure those aha! moments when a client has a shift in thinking. I even relish when a client is stopped in their tracks because they've never asked themselves that question before... I don't believe change has to be painful - in fact all my clients really enjoy spending this time on themselves and they certainly enjoy the results they achieve. We even have been known to laugh during the coaching sessions... It's important to me to work with people who are prepared to change their thinking and take action in order to get what they want. My clients are committed to change. Is this you? Why not try the 'How coachable are you' assessment?
