The coaching experience with Catarina was outstanding.

As I mentioned, I thought I was pretty self aware but she asked such great questions and really helped me to understand what I was really saying, why things didn’t feel comfortable (clash with values), isolate what I wanted from life and remind me of that when I lost track of it.

Catarina has been very spot on from the first time I spoke to her. With her help, I was able to understand my situation better and she helps…

I had just left a handsome paying job that I did not enjoy. The exit/separation had dented my self-esteem and confidence, and I was worried that my age would limit my chances of securing a new job at a level and compensation package similar to what I was enjoying before.

The goals that I set out to achieve was to rebuild my confidence and self esteem.

After regular coaching over a period of about three months, I no longer dwell on the dissatisfaction and negative experience in my last employ…

…the outcome went eventually beyond my expectations

…encouraged me to turn thoughts into action
