“In Spring 2007 Nicola McCall was presented with an award at The Coaching Circle Annual Conference to celebrate her massive contribution to our on-line coaching community and magazine.  Nicola has a wealth of information, knowledge and experience of psychological and business coaching, with a specific area of expertise in coaching in an "ex-pat" community. She has contributed fascinating, pithy and insightful articles to our regular journal "The Coaching Circular" and is a natural writer and researcher.  Members of our on-line forum unanimously voted for Nicola to receive the award as the most supportive coach on the forum and the most prolific writer and researcher of coaching articles.  I have no hesitation in recommending Nicola to your magazine, as she will be a tremendous resource for your network.  Snap her up!!

“I am very happy with the sessions.  I feel that I am making progress and working my way towards getting through a situation that has had me blocked for nearly a year now. You are giving me lots of support to do that, which I appreciate.  Thank you! I think you have a real feel for people which - coupled with your good organisational and analytical abilities – gives you a great grounding for this sort of work”

“I wanted to give you feedback on why I found your life coaching experience so valuable:

-  Encouraged me to look beyond day to day living and to focus on what really mattered

-  You gave me tools and techniques to assist in deciding on a major life-changing event, i.e. moving to another country

-  Enabled me to more quickly to evaluate situations / choices based on what really mattered and helped eliminate unnecessary “ noise”

-  You were very professional, responsive and always had creative ways to help me review my situation.”

“I spoke to Nicola over the phone. Nicola’s voice is friendly and trustworthy and makes you want to confide in her. What I found even more important: she did not tell me what she thought was important for me, instead she asked me what is important to me, and what kind of future I would like to have. The way she listened and gave feedback worked as a mirror and confronted me with my usual way of thinking, which gave me confidence. She also gave me tips on how to structure my thoughts into a plan while showing confidence in myself and in my decision.  My manager told me that my message was clear and I convinced my director to help me find possibilities. I am very happy with my session with Nicola, since it helped me to be more confident and more convincing during the important meeting with my management.”

“I approached my colleagues and managers for feedback following our work together on understanding cultural differences. I saw the need to stop being so “English”.  Combined with the training course and our work together I am more confident in my abilities and more able to put across my point of view.  I’m much more a part of the team in all respects.  Your perpetual support and encouragement has been much appreciated during this period of change”
