Since becoming a life coach in 2004, Georgie
has helped a lot of people to make the most
of their lives. Here are some examples:
Jeannette is young Chinese
woman who was applying for a job with a major
car-manufacturing company. She had been turned
down for several jobs already and was beginning
to think she would never be accepted. Georgie
gave her concrete skills in the form of how
to make a successful presentation. Through discussing
and dispelling Jeannette's fears about the interview
and assessment, Georgie also gave her coachee
the confidence to be able to relax a bit on
the day and thus do her best. Jeannette is now
a valuable asset to the car company.
Alexander was struggling to pass
an exam that he had failed five times. With
Georgie's help, he realised that he actually
didn't want to pass this exam at all and go
on to take the course a good score would allow
him to do. He was sabotaging himself in the
exam, without having any idea he was doing so.
Once this became clear, a huge weight lifted
from Alexander's shoulders and he no longer
considered himself a failure.
Lucie was worried her partner
might begin to find her boring, since she rarely
went out and had little of interest to share
with him in the evenings, when he came home
from work. Georgie encouraged Lucie to learn
to drive. After some initial resistance, Lucie
took some lessons and soon passed her test.
Her partner was so impressed by this that he
bought Lucie a car. Now, with a part-time job
she enjoys, a photography course and a book
group to keep her busy, Lucie often gets home
later than her partner.
Dave had always wanted to work
abroad but thought, at 34, that he had left
it too late to "gallivant around the world".
Georgie helped Dave to think it all through
and he came to the conclusion that he would
always regret it if he didn't, at some point,
spend some time living abroad. His children
were still at primary and pre-primary stage
and his wife is a writer and works from home
anyway. She was excited by the idea and Dave
decided to seize the moment. Georgie helped
him to plan it all carefully, to streamline
the move as much as possible and to find himself
a job in South Africa before he went. Both Dave
and his wife think the complete change of life
was the best thing that has ever happened to
them (though of course it didn't "happen
to them": they made it happen).
