"I've been working with Jacky over a two year period.  Often in small bursts of activity or when a particular issue arises.She is an excellent coach - Cheerful, intelligent, widely read, human and effective in stimulating change. I would recommend her to anyone." Managing Director TV Production company

"I didn't really know what to expect when I decided to book a coaching session with Jacky, but she is brilliant at helping you to clarify issues, whether personal or professional.  As a mature person unused to self-analysis, I have found her sessions invaluable, and after each session found myself more focussed and motivated; also guilt-free when spending ME time, which was quite a big issue of mine.  Thank you SO much Jacky!  I suspect that whatever one's problems/issues may be, Jacky would be able to help - I can only recommend you try her!"  Barbara Halfpenny, Small Business Owner

"For me, coaching with Jacky has been one of those ‘life changing’ moments. It has made an enormous difference to me as a person and to the way that I operate in our company. Jacky has helped me find the person that I really am rather than the person I thought I should be, which has made me much more effective at work - standing up for the things that I believe are right and more determined to carry things through to a conclusion. I am a much happier person, as I am now in control of making the life that I want to lead both at work and at home.  Why didn’t I do it years ago?" Partner of a medium sized business

"My three months working with Jacky as my coach has resulted in drastic changes in my life. I have pulled myself out of that rut and started to grow my business and grow within myself. My self confidence and self belief is higher than I ever thought imaginable. At a particularly difficult time in my life Jacky helped me through and at the end of each session I was always really motivated and ready to face the world." Amanda Lincoln, Small Business Owner

"This coaching programme was excellent... it gave me time away from my work to concentrate on the things that would help me do my job better. I learned about my behaviour from me! I felt in control of me and my time and I felt in control of the learning programme... Jacky really cared about me and my needs. I was an individual! Thank you!" Internal Sales Manager

"It's so true that the things that you are most likely to regret in life are the things that you DON'T do. Most of us put the big things off because they always seem a little too far out of reach, or too far out of where we're comfortable. With Jacky's help I've come to realise what I've already achieved, what really is possible and I've got a sense of direction more than ever before. I would recommend Ambition Coaching to anyone who feels they're 'drifting'..." Marketing Professional

"When I started coaching with Jacky, I had no sense of direction about what my career should be. I just knew that I was not inspired or fulfilled enough in what I was doing. It is amazing - I now feel so much clearer about what I want to do and I have an action plan to get me there. I learnt a lot about myself, I feel really positive about being who I am and I am excited by my plans for the future." Deputy Manager, Retail store

"I joined up for a series of life coaching sessions with very little expectations in terms of what it could do for me. Six weeks later, not only have some of my goals been realised, but I know which ones to leave behind and which ones are truly important to me. Not only has coaching pointed me in the right direction, but more importantly it helped me identify the obstacles which I had put in the way. Through the hourly sessions we made steady progress and set realistic goals and I have to admit... my productivity has increased, my 'guilt' factor decreased and I make less excuses. 

I have realised that coaching can be used at all sorts of levels. It can help in practical ways as you are full of advice and tips and incredibly resourceful. It can help on a professional level in deciding what is truly important, and finally it has helped at a personal level because in working through goals at a realistic pace and making steady progress, my confidence grew and I became able to look at the larger issues, concerns and long term aims in my life. 

Thanks Jacky for making a difference. I would recommend your coaching to anyone who thinks it's 'not for me' so you can prove them wrong on all accounts… they’ll be eating their words… as I have done!!! " Small Business Owner

"Jacky has been hugely supportive in my personal development over the past few months. She is a great listener, so allows me to spill out all I need to say. She also listens to her intuition, and has made some excellent observations that have helped me greatly to start to get over various limitations I come up against in life. Having just moved to a new city, I have had a lot come up, and having the opportunity to work through it with Jacky has been great. As a result I believe I have made far more progress than I would have done alone." PA, Insurance co.

"I thank my lucky stars that I was introduced to you at this point in my life. You are really helping me, especially as I find my feet in terms of my career. Your coaching is invaluable... The coaching sessions have been excellent. Coaching has helped me change the way I think, discard old habits and limiting beliefs, and replace them with positive beliefs. I always feel buoyant after every coaching session with Jacky." Lawyer

"Jacky helped me to explore and understand what is really important to me and what work I want to do. I was feeling overwhelmed with choices, but after working together, I now have an action plan that I am confident will help me take the right steps for my career. Her coaching was very helpful to me.” 20-year old, Northants

"I immediately found Jacky very easy to talk to. The coaching sessions felt really natural like deep and meaningful conversations with a trusted friend, the like of which happens all too rarely in today's busy world. She led me to explore my values, encouraging and allowing me to follow paths that highlighted what really matters to me and, of those things, which are being honoured and which neglected. Following the sessions I am left feeling energised and satisfied that I am spending quality time on myself." Christine Rudge, Business Owner

"From the very first session I felt motivated. I had several anxieties about work and studies that I needed to work through, and just having someone to talk to was a great relief. Jacky has a very professional style and encouraged me to open up and make my own conclusions about the problems I believed I was facing. I set myself some long term and short term goals. After each session I felt very in control, motivated, and empowered." Major Clients Change Control Manager

"Life coaching with Jacky helped me to focus on my career aspirations, and I also gained a positive outlook on my future." Karen Willis

"I would like to thank you for the coaching you have given me towards being clear about my career objectives.  I have found our coaching sessions very useful in directing my focus towards what I ultimately want to achieve. Many thanks." Maureen Kaye
