No1: Graham, an IT entrepreneur and business analyst with 25 years experience, was running a stressful support and consulting business that was part of a national network. His goals were: (1) To compose a strategy that would guide him to secure his business, (2) to find a better balance between work and play, (3) to create a better office environment, (4) to find a new life partner.

After doing a needs/wants analysis, Graham learned planning and time management tools, reduced his working hours and began communicating this to clients. He learned rapport-building tools from All About You to attract new clients and friends. Since then he has used what he learned in our coaching to raise his turnover by 50%, clear all his debts, develop an efficient office, and find a new partner.

Graham in his own words: “The most profound impact of the coaching from All About You was to make me stop and view how I could do things differently. It made me consider more thoroughly how best to move forward to achieve my personal, as well as my business ambitions."
"During the coaching I took the time to change many of the perspectives that I had on my business, and as a result of applying these, I have been able to grow it dramatically, increasing my turnover by 50% over the last year in fact. At certain times of year I am extremely busy, but now I have learnt to pace myself better even during those times, and to keep a social life. I have also met a really good personal partner."
" Ingrid is an excellent listener, she is easy to talk to, and has very good insight into issues. She is thorough and well organised. I would strongly recommend All About You to anyone seeking coaching."

"Reasons for having coaching:
1. You will get the clarity of vision about where you want to go with your whole life, including personal and business related issues.
2. The tools to maintain the vision.
3. Encouragement to move forward using these tools and techniques to help you lead a more fulfilling life.
4. Greater contentment and peace because you are more in control of your own destiny.”

No2: Julia, a photographer who was “gifted, but disorganised” in her own words felt continually torn between helping her business partner and the need to follow her own career path.

After exploring where she really wanted to be in life, she learned some assertiveness skills and how to apply a planning and time management system. As a result she is a happier person who has taken charge, who has a clear focus on her goals, and the tools for getting there. She is also more assertive and has become a better organiser.

Julia in her own words: “The coaching has a made a big difference to me. Before I used to wonder where all my time went, but now when I look at my week I know exactly what I should prioritise. In effect, if it doesn’t drive the business forward, I don’t devote much time to it. Decision-making feels easier, I am more assertive generally and I am re-arranging my home life to support me. I can definitely recommend coaching from All About You.”

No3: Sarah, a solicitor, had joined a company to work as a fee-earner. All About You was commissioned to empower her to flourish and integrate with the team.

After doing a needs/wants analysis, Sarah identified the areas she wanted to target. All About You encouraged her to take a variety of different perspectives on how she could progress. New practical approaches and matching behaviours were discussed and planned, which she put into practice with outstanding results. Her boss recently said: “I don’t know what you did with her, but she is now nearly the top fee-earner in the business!”

Sarah in her own words: “Taking coaching from All About You with Ingrid Burling is one of the best things I have done. Several one-to-one sessions over a two-month period enabled me to focus on specific goals not only for my work, but also for my life in general.
"Major results of the All About You coaching for me have been that I feel myself to be a valued and integrated member of my firm. Also my boss and I understand each other a whole lot better, and this really surprised me: my long term goal of having a Personal Assistant has been achieved far more quickly than I had anticipated."
"I found the coaching challenging, but also a very positive experience. Ingrid was perceptive, encouraging and an excellent listener. She brought out the best in me, and enabled me to believe in my potential. I would thoroughly recommend All About You.”
