Exceeding targets

I received some coaching with Susanne as a result of a grant through a government initiative and found her approach and style to be most responsive to my needs. Susanne took time to understand my specific goals and helped me achieve them in an effective way. As a result we exceeded my expectations for our financial targets.

Greater clarity and commitment

Susanne is a sensitive and perceptive coach committed to working with clients to achieve their highest aims.  Her coaching is always empathic but she does not shy away from asking the challenging and difficult questions, the very ones you have perhaps been avoiding.  Such incisive coaching can bring immense benefits. 

To sum up Susanne ... she is an intelligent and caring individual deeply committed to personal development, her own and that of her clients. My experience of Susanne as a coach was incredibly positive and resulted in me pursuing my career with greater clarity and commitment.  I have no reservations in recommending her services and plan to use them again myself in the future.

Business Coaching

Unfortunately because of a change in personal circumstances I didn't have chance to work with Susanne very long. I have had experience with life coaching before and Susanne is the best I have experienced.

She has access to fantastic reference materials and at the end of each session provides you with comprehensive notes of the session which means that instead of taking notes yourself you can concentrate on the session. I was looking for a business orientated coach and I can wholeheartedly commend Susanne in this regard.

Exploring issues in confidence

I started coaching sessions when I got promoted into a higher role within my organisation about a year ago.  Having spent over a decade in the same team I found the change very challenging.  Susanne helped me focus my attention on the positive aspects of my career.  Her method also gave me practical tools to use as well as strategies to form new habits.  I found the sessions motivating and uplifting and have found value in what I learnt going forward. I would have no hesitation in recommending Susanne's coaching to friends and colleagues.

I feel very fortunate to have received a coaching session from Susanne.  During this time I was able to explore two very deep issues in my life.  I experienced a very safe and supportive space, which enabled me to face these issues and have the courage to find new ways.

Susanne’s skilful questioning supported me to gather information, focus my attention, be honest with myself and step forward.  I particularly appreciate her commitment to specify the practical steps I have identified to achieve my long-term goals. 

Before our session I received a preparation form, which was very helpful for me to clarify my present state, outcome and learning.  That meant the process had started long before I even picked up the phone.  I find that a very thoughtful and effective way of working and really appreciate the advantages it gave me, saving me a lot of time for example and deepening my learning process.

I can highly recommend Susanne as a coach with great rapport, expertise and commitment to her client.

Starting up in business

I am in the process of setting up a business and felt I was procrastinating and not taking the action I needed to.  Susanne helped me to see that I was not procrastinating and just needed to set clear goals that I could work towards – this freed me from the guilt of “doing nothing” and allowed me to move forward with renewed energy, motivation, enthusiasm and confidence.

I enjoyed working with Susanne, who was always positive and friendly. I felt Susanne listened to what I had to say, understood it and helped me to move forward with her challenging questions and NLP techniques.

I definitely recommend Susanne to anyone considering coaching and would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank her for her help.

Increasing motivation

Since working with you on motivation, I have felt far more eager to get myself into the office, and more focused on what I need to do each morning.  I'm amazed at the profound effect one NLP Technique has had on me.  Your style may be gentle and "laid back", but the effect you've had is powerful and energising.  So a big thank you for that.

Greater career focus

I am very pleased that I chose to be coached by Susanne, as it provided me with a safe environment to explore significant work related issues.  Susanne's adept questioning skills brought about new insights and focussed my attention which in turn let me to identify necessary steps that moved me closer to my goals!

I can highly recommend Susanne as a coach; she is highly committed to her client's success and has the ability to pick up and focus on the main points required.

Meeting business objectives

I can highly recommend Susanne Hall of Craft Coaching for her skills and ability. My coaching sessions with her have increased my self belief and confidence. Whenever appropriate she was always prepared to challenge me and this ensured I met my business objectives.

Dealing with the gremlins

Having always work for someone else, starting my own business in natural wellness and skincare products was going to be a total change.  I did not feel confident and secure in talking to people about my product results, my business and the difference good nutrition and overall good health can make to everyone's life.

The coaching has helped me to think differently, recognise some of my negative thought patterns and how they get in the way of my life and business results.  Susanne's questioning helped me to identify new ways of dealing with such hurdles, be less insecure, feel more energised and ready to move on.  I think Craft Coaching is a must for anyone who wants to get the most out of living a fulfilled life in all areas.  I would be more than pleased to recommend Susanne, as her service is unique, personal and completely focussed on your outcomes.

Improving business results

I have had coaching from Susanne on an on-off basis over the last 8 months. We covered various business and personal issues, e.g. increasing my daily rate, exploring new and profitable marketing channels as well as complex family travel plans. Susanne's approach, firm and professional yet at the same time gentle and caring, made me feel 100% supported in my goals. I can only recommend her.

Client base increase

"Working with a True Professional" Susanne takes on assignments to assist her clients with great commitment and seriousness with a goal in mind.

“To make your goal her goal…. By helping to envision, understand, focus and achieve!” Susanne provides the wealth of tools and resources at her disposal with great gusto…. to be educational, informative, sensitive, incisive and very supportive. It is indeed a pleasure to recommend the services of Susanne to anyone who wishes to make a positive impact on one’s life or business in a very short time and constructive way…..as it has to mine!

Being in control

Situations at work kept getting me down and colleagues said to me "just don't think about it, don't let it affect you".  I used to say "I can't, it's just the way I am - it does get to me".  Then I had a series of coaching sessions with Susanne Hall and she showed me that, in fact, I could change my reaction to these situations and I could deal with them in a far more positive way.  Now they don't get to me any more and I am a lot happier at work!

I was reviewing my coaching notes last night and wanted to thank you for your commitment in helping me to shift my thinking and change behaviour as a consequence. In particular getting a grip of my negative thinking has made a considerable difference to how I conduct myself. 

I really appreciated your professionalism and the thoroughness of your approach. Your knowledge and integrity sets high standards for the coaching industry and certainly inspired me with my own coaching practice.

Career progression

I was a little apprehensive about the first coaching session.  However, Susanne was great at instantly making me feel relaxed. We identified what area I would like to improve, i.e. my work/career and, through Susanne's coaching, determined steps that could be taken to achieve my aims. Some of these were simple things while others were achievable but required a little more effort on my behalf.

We also used a simple questionnaire to uncover my preferred Language and Behavior patterns in relation to work.  When Susanne went through the results, I was surprised how accurate the profile was. A more detailed report was received afterwards.  This gave me a clearer picture of myself at work and my working and motivation traits.

I found the time that I had with Susanne to be worthwhile. It has made me think deeper about situations that I wish to resolve. Her approach was relaxed but enthusiastic. I would certainly recommend Susanne’s services to others.

I was lucky enough to receive coaching from Susanne as part of a Coaching Skills Workshop in my office.  The session was only half an hour, as we were supposed to be learning how to coach others rather than be coached ourselves, but in this short period Susanne really helped me to evaluate the issues I had with my career.  I was able to re-assess the opportunities I had been given and realise how well I was already doing.  Now I am working at pushing myself further along that path rather than giving up and starting something else from scratch.  Susanne also made me realise the importance of setting goals, which I am now implementing in all aspects of my life.   

I would wholly recommend Susanne as a coach, and I wouldn’t hesitate to get back in contact with Susanne if I ever felt the need for coaching in the future.  I’m sure that I will be using the skills I learnt from the Coaching Workshop for years to come, to benefit not just myself but hopefully others as well.

Developing a new business idea

Many thanks for the session yesterday, I felt extremely empowered and focused afterwards, so thank you. ... I have already bounced [business idea] off a very good friend who worked with me for two years.  Her response was "I couldn't think of anything more perfect for you". ...

Bringing about change

Susanne has an ability to empathise with people and makes them feel at ease.  After a very short period of time, I have seen changes in myself: I am now more open to environments and people. 

I would be happy to recommend Susanne to friends and colleagues as her service is unique; she is more of a friend than an 'business' person.

Susanne is an inspirational coach, whose style encourages "out of the box" thought processes. Her ability to hone in on the positive, targeting a clients strengths and ambitions, engenders a strong focus on moving forward towards goals and getting results. In consulting Susanne, ideas and dreams that had been lurking in the recesses of my brain were encouraged to become a reality. She is an absolute motivation.

KS, Interior Designer

New perspectives

Susanne is a professional coach who created a confidential and supportive space for me to explore a couple of issues.  She listened attentively, challenged my beliefs and, through questioning, provided different perspectives.  

My sessions were followed by practical activities to move me forward and keep me focused.  I also appreciated having the coaching notes sent to me, as I often needed more time to reflect on what I had discovered about myself.  

In summary: the coaching sessions were very worthwhile and I will definitely seek her help in future.  I also have no hesitation in recommending her to others.

AG, IT Training/Intranet Manager

Before my coaching session with Susanne, a few months ago, my only certainty was that I wanted a complete change of direction in my career.  I had little clear appreciation of my skills, no firm ideas of what I might aim for, and was nervous about taking such a big step.

Susanne’s coaching helped me to identify the skills I have, and what areas of work might suit me, and also, crucially, boosted my confidence to take that first step to explore a completely new direction. Susanne’s friendly style helped me to relax instantly and to be open and receptive to her challenging (and very perceptive!) questions. I am very happy to recommend her.
