Testimonials
What some of my clients have said:
"Before my coaching sessions with Chris Penfold, I had heard of life coaching but had been fairly sceptical. I had previously had a lot of counselling related to self esteem, self confidence & self worth, but never felt I got out of it what I needed. I decided to give Life Coaching a go, as I knew I was the only person holding me back.
Over a period of 4 months Chris and I have tackled many topics including: Self belief/confidence, being resentful, gaining respect, personal relationships and work/family/college balance and had some very powerful insights. Through the gentle yet challenging Life coaching Sessions I have had with Chris, I now feel I have moved on amazingly in all of these areas. I now have the insight, strength and belief in myself to move forward & take real control and direction over myself and my life every single day. Chris is very supportive, honest and easy to connect with. I wish I had had this opportunity a long time ago. I would recommend Life Coaching to anyone. I am looking forward to Chris' continued support and recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone considering Life Coaching."
Donna Croucher,
“Although I was originally sceptical, I feel Chris has been a tremendous help identifying the key issues I face in running my own business. Together we identified areas of personal inefficiency and step by step implemented measures to reduce these, leading to a spectacular increase in output. As well as working together to build a business identity and create more business, we also focused on different ways of ‘earning a living’ and on increasing leisure time through better work/life balance. Chris has also enabled me to envisage a clearer picture of what the future can hold and we are currently in the process of putting together a five year plan which will be the culmination of the initial phase of coaching. Overall I am pleased with the honest approach Chris has managed to extract from me and feel that he has enabled me to make some major ‘leaps forward’.”
"I have been a friend of Chris for a number of years now. We share interests and our families are very close. I must admit that when he became my life coach I did wonder how he would separate the familiar from the professional. In the event, I have been very impressed. He handles the task admirably. I am at a very important stage of my life where I have needed to focus myself on my needs and ambitions. He has intuitively dissected my thoughts and has helped me to begin to make things happen. The feedback and support has been impartial, intelligent and constructive. As a 'sounding board' he is brilliant and I will continue to seek his council as I move towards my goals."
Jeff Bowering, West Bridgford
"I found working with Chris very insightful and enjoyable. Initially I wasn't sure what to expect, but I found Chris' style open and perceptive with a great deal of empathy and understanding. We looked at areas ranging from work/life/family balance, health, leadership and time management. My biggest challenge was thinking about my 'values' and what is actually important to me in my life. Chris has helped me to find a deeper understanding of myself and what motivates me and in doing that has helped me to realise why I behave and feel as I do. I feel that with his help, I have taken a big step forward and feel that I've made some amazing progress in all of those areas. He has helped me clarify what I want to do next and provided more structure to help me manage things better. I found that having the support of a coach was a great way of making sure that any commitments that I made were carried out and Chris continually 'raised the bar' to stretch me even further. If you are not sure about coaching - go for it and give Chris a call - you will be surprised at the results."
Helen, Matlock
"In his coaching Chris combines commitment and integrity with compassionate persistence and good humoured insight. Working with Chris is a real opportunity to focus on achieving your goals. "
Carrie Harris, West Sussex
“Chris has helped me take a positive and optimistic attitude to the future and I am excited by the prospect of even more changes to come. Chris has a gift for working with, and helping people to achieve their dreams using skill, tact, empathy and intuition. I would recommend Chris to anyone wanting to be life coached to achieve their dreams.”
