Feedback for a variety of training and business mentoring delivered by Elaine Owen;

"Thank you for a fab session this morning. I really enjoyed it and it was so nice to meet people with the same issues as me. I go to a lot of networking events and I often have to sell myself and hide the fact that I’m not great at everything, but this morning it was like that barrier was broken down and I was able to be honest and say I needed help. Sometimes just getting that off your chest lightens the load! I am really looking forward to meeting my mentor in the hope that I’ll be able to do open up more often and focus on what really needs to be done to grow my business."

"Being part of the Mentoring Programme has helped me to articulate my passion for my work clearly and with pride. I am more focused on my Core Business now, and feel a greater sense of ownership of my work. The group and Elaine, as facilitator, have been a real "mastermind" group, offering support and insights."

"I've reassessed my priorities and make better use of my day now. I plan my work over a longer time frame and allow more wiggle room. All the work gets done but now with more focus on the overall result and not just individual tasks. Thanks Elaine!"

"The business mentoring programme has been invaluable for me as a business leader. It built on my strengths and I learnt a huge amount. It helped me gaining the confidence, developing skills and building networks. The programme has enable me to clearly identify and set the goals I want to achieve, the direction I want to give to my business, and the means to make my business successful."

"I would like to take this opportunity to say an enormous thank you for putting me through the membership program. It has been a fantastic journey for me and the things I have learnt about myself and my business; the list is endless. I feel totally re-energised and re-focused in comparison with the person I was six months ago."

Thanks for the meeting today.  I've just had a brief look at the site, and would like to acknowledge the amount of work that's gone into it.  I'm truly amazed and grateful.

Hi, just wanted to thank you guys for your time this morning. I am so grateful,so needed it, and am extremely pleased with what you are doing for me.

Claire Jones - Youthtopia
The kind and positive support, at all levels, I recieved from Elaine went a long way to helping me towards my goal, which at times I thought, was not possible. This extra lifeline in the early days was very important and knowing there was someone who had been through it all themselves just a phone call away made the whole experience feel more real and achievable .
