After conducting months of extensive due diligence on the coaching process overall, on coaches that fitted my needs, and on Anthony himself as a coach, I admittedly still approached coaching with some level of scepticism that it might exist somewhere between scented candles, crystal therapy and dolphin re-birthing.  Should this have eventuated I was prepared to chalk coaching up to a life experience, quickly move on, and write the investment off as a bad debt.

Thankfully none of this eventuated.

Working with Anthony through the ‘Dare to be Your Best’ program, I believe we explored 3 areas that are integrally linked: clarity, consciousness and confidence.

This program created the space for me to become clear about who I was, where I was, and what I really wanted in life.  While this sounds esoteric, which personally is my complete antithesis, using the analytical techniques of this program to map and track my progress relieved my initial hesitations.

With the clarity I gained around my aspirations, I became more conscious regarding what I and others around me where doing to achieve and/or sabotage these goals, and the resulting impact.

With both clarity around what I wanted to achieve, and the awareness of what was occurring and the consequences, this engendered the confidence to challenge and confront various obstacles that were holding me back.  An unexpected pleasant and surprising by product of this was the degree of excitement about the future that was generated.

Anthony has always acted in the most committed and professional manner, on occasions going beyond what was reasonable to expect.  His obvious experience comes through as he can pick the right time to push forward, challenge and confront; or encourage the other party to explore options in a judgement free environment.

I was relieved to never hear mention of candles or crystals, and no dolphins were harmed during the 12 week program.
