I’m two weeks into my new role and I am in love with it....smiling again and really enjoying my work life again.

All because I now understand my Superpowers. Thank you.

I know what my future could look like. I have a clear direction and I have new tools and techniques that will help me make each day more enjoyable.

Since focusing on my Superpowers and on who I serve with them, my business has taken off.

My career was well and truly stuck. I’d been marking time until I retired before finding Lucia. I wanted to look back with no regrets and since I hated what I did - I needed to do something different.

Working through Lucia’s methods and exercises gave me explanations for all sorts of things over the course of my career. Some came naturally and were enjoyable, and some were very challenging.

My future looks completely different now. I've got a very different outlook. I have a new focus and clarity about the way forward. I can almost see a colour change ahead in my life. I feel energised. I feel almost like I've been plugged into a socket and switched on. I'm putting together my skillset with a new idea.

It's given me a new lease of life. And others have noticed that there's been a positive change in me.

Lucia’s courses are both for those of us who feel stuck but also those who want to fine-tune themselves and their working lives. And the impact of working through her programmes will have benefits for everyone I ever work with in future.

I feel like I’ve had a midlife MOT. And my engine is working much better!

I was stuck at a crossroads. As I grew older, I began to realise that there are less people like me, around my age, in the business. I was feeling almost paralysed by the decisions ahead of me. I didn’t want to do what I’ve always done so I needed some help.

After working with Lucia, it feels like the future is something that I’m very much in charge of - rather it’s being done to me! The big question for me and people in my age group is “what do you want to do with the last third of your life?” I now have a plan.

Since working with Lucia, I have a long-term dream and ambition on what I want the next decade to look like that I’m moving towards. Also, practically, in the short-term, I now have a range of tools and techniques to help me make each day better, to do more of what I enjoy and to make sure I’m doing less of the work that I don’t enjoy.

The future feels positive, I know what it could look like and I have a plan on how to get there.

What felt like a crisis [my redundancy] last summer now feels like a golden opportunity to do what I now know I want to do.

We are often driven by fear…fear of change, of taking too many risks or of looking stupid. The big takeaway for me is that what I fear most is not doing what I really want to do. And I don’t fear that much else. The biggest failure is not to try.

On the horizon I can see the chance of real fulfillment and I’m having fun.

I realised I’d forgotten what I’m good at and what I’m not good at, what I actually enjoy or don’t enjoy!

I now find myself making decisions and designing activities so that they can be more enjoyable.

My main takeaway from working with Lucia is the release of the blame or harshness I’ve attributed to myself around wrong career moves, situations or organisations I’ve found myself in. That de-coupling of emotion from the situation has been really helpful in allowing me to look at the kind of work that will allow me to operate at my best.

The field of opportunity has really opened up for me to use my talents in lots of different ways that could be much more fulfilling.

Sometimes in life we are lucky to experience serendipitous moments. For me such a moment was reading Lucia’s excellent book X-Change, that led me to get in touch, and from this it was very clear that Lucia was the perfect partner to work with on my second half reinvention. Lucia is a natural and talented coach, who has helped me cut through the noise, get clear, and work out options to move forward. I am someone who puts a lot of store in results, so Lucia’s approach is perfect for me. More than this, what I think really makes the difference is that Lucia is authentic, pragmatic, engaging and warm. I look forward to our sessions because they are positive and enjoyable.

My experience of working with Lucia has without doubt helped me strengthen my confidence. Her approach is refreshing because her guiding principles are about clarifying and appreciating strengths and it is through her that I have finally uncovered my superpowers and the confidence to get out there and make my second half even better than my first’.

“Thank you so much for your time over the past few months. You really helped me focus on my strengths which helped me clarify my thoughts.

I was initially worried that career coach wouldn’t provide value for money or return on investment – both thoughts were unfounded as far as your style of coaching is concerned.

I found that my plans were not as wide of the mark as I’d feared and that attributes that I always believed were strengths are, in fact, super strengths!  I particularly benefited from the face-to-face sessions that really got me to examine what I wanted to do and what I could do.

I found the whole experience confidence building - the creation of possibilities certainly lifts the spirit.

 Many people seek career coaching because of self-doubt. Your style of coaching helped to lift my fog of self-doubt leaving the way ahead much clearer.”

I really enjoyed [the career happiness workshop] - it was helpful in motivating me to get unstuck and to get focused.

Through discussion with Lucia, I came to be aware of what my "superpowers" were and how I felt when I was using them (which was fantastic, of course) which lead onto the prospect of leveraging them more in the future. I felt increasing excitement as we got deeper and deeper through the layers of thought and the discoveries at each stage.

It was an exhilarating journey of discovery which has resulted in Increased self-awareness, increased focus on what matters, increased hope and excitement about what's ahead in my journey.
