Some feedback from clients "I've been a client of Jasbinder for about 18 months. From our very first meeting Jas provided sound, clear direction and clarity on the way forward for me. She managed through her process to identify very quickly the key issue that has been challenging me professionally for some time. Her processes and personality allowed me to see it for what it was and interestingly it was right under my nose.
She helped me understand and accept that I need to listen to the inner voice. Jas coached me through this in a manner and style I have not encountered before. I am now at a point in my career where through her good guidance and process I have rediscovered my mojo - and the interesting thing is that it was her simple, accurate insight that allowed me to see it.
I have no doubt that Jasbinder has turned me around. I recommend her to anyone and consider myself very lucky to have her as my coach and touch stone." - General Manager, Marketing
"It helped me realise what made me feel joyful and creative."
"The coaching helped me leave the organisation I was with for over twenty years and successfully embark on a satisfying and rewarding career of self-employment. The planning process to get here was an important part of my journey."
"Working with Jas over the past year has enabled me to gain insights into myself that have advanced my leadership skills and as a result increased my job satisfaction. The work we have done has allowed me to better understand the motivations of others and work to find solutions and opportunities to situations that would not normally have occurred. This has created opportunities in my career and personal life. She has triggered the ability in me to catapult myself out of my comfortable rut and start living up to my true potential. I am now getting more out of my career as well as work life balance and enjoying the "now" moments along the way." - CFO
"After two and a half years in my role, I started asking myself what I was doing there. There were elements of the role I really enjoyed and there were elements that were just not me... and the negatives were starting to outweigh the positives!
"My career was in reasonably good shape when I went to Jasbindar but I knew I needed a more healthy work/life balance. Jasbindar helped me identify where I was at, where I wanted to be, and how to get there. Now, just two years later, I am in the very happy position of having reduced hours but still loving my work, and following my dream of writing. What sets Jasbindar apart is her focus on helping you achieve career goals in a way that healthily feeds both the finances and the soul." -Journalist
Through a very supportive manager I was introduced to Jas. She helped me explore who I was as an employee, but also as a wife, sister, daughter, friend, etc... and where I wanted to go with my life. She helped me focus on my strengths, passions and what I enjoyed about my role. The time with Jas gave me the confidence to take a huge leap into the unknown and use my skills and strengths in something I am passionate about. In hindsight it was a challenging and very rewarding experience." - Human Resources Manager
"As a senior executive managing the work of 450 staff, I sought Jasbindar's assistance in clarifying what I needed to do next. The guided process allowed me to explore in depth the connections between my motivations, skills and the stage I had reached both in my personal and professional life. I needed to explore what conjunction would best meet my needs and those of my family.
A clear dichotomy emerged with one path leading to a chief executive role and the other into independent consultancy. With clear direction, opportunity blossomed and by focusing on the desirable, possibililites and a change in life direction was created." - Regional Area Manager
"Thank you for your advice, wisdom, and recommending the book "What colour is your Parachute". I would not have survived the last 3 months so well without you. I have now been offered a new position with an exciting company in a new role and with more responsibilities."
"Though I was a national sales manager for a large company and good at it, deep down I was truly unhappy. Others saw me as being very successful but there was a dis-ease in me and I could not quite figure out why. It was only after my career and life planning session that I realised my values were at odds with what I was doing. This enabled me to identify what was truly important to me and three years later, I have happily embarked on my new field of endeavour and loving every bit of it."
"Thanks for all your help this year - I found it extremely useful and think it's set me up well for the future." HR Manager
"My life is now certainly on track and richer for meeting you. Thanks for your help and support." GM - Sales
