Here's what some clients said about coaching with Noodlecrayon...
“The overall effect of coaching is that Simon is much better at his job, and much happier doing that job.
The change has made it possible for us to work together to tackle some long standing issues and work towards implementing some fundamental changes in the way that the company is structured. We have (as an indirect result of the coaching recieved) decided to appoint a new member of staff and overhaul almost all of our Admin systems – these are projects that we should have done a long time ago but were only possible with Simon’s active intervention.
Overall, yes I think that the coaching has definitely been useful and good value – I would definitely recommend the service, and am considering ways that we could work together in the future. ”Michael Smith, Director, UK - Feedback on the results of having his staff coached
“Not enough time; too busy at work; my to-do list is already bulging at the seams...arrghh! Ordinarily, this would be when the slight sense of dread would draw over me and I’d begin to panic. However, thanks to Noodlecrayon Coaching, I now possess a set of tools and skills to allow me to tackle this everyday scenario…
I’ve made a great start.I can now prioritise,and manage myself and my time way more effectively than before, juggling many balls at once used to be challenge that would stress me out. Even now when this happens, I can hear Sam offering her words of encouragement and providing that proverbial kick I need to refocus.
My biggest triumph from coaching is to step back and review. When I’m not completely happy with a task, I knowto step back, review and change direction slightly. That’s no longer a big issue, dealing with shifts in direction is another valuable lesson I learnt.
I am now able to my objectives and even deliver earlier than expected. I can tick another task on my to-do list and it hasn’t caused any unnecessary stress or had any impact on my working or personal life. I’m happy and I can begin to pack my bags for my holiday!
It’s fair to say that I'm a converted skeptic who's eaten plenty humble pie. Sam’s adaptable, enthusiastic approach has made sure coaching worked for me. I'm focused, more directed and, as demonstrated, I now have the tools I need to affect change in the rest of my life. Bring on the challenges; I’m ready for them now!”

“All my life I have been writing and cherished my passion for words and languages. I am still fascinated and amazed by the beauty and power of words, containing an expression of everything life provides. But the mere thought of trying to reach out, finding a way of shifting this passion and love from a personal to a business level scared me to death. Comparing myself and my skills to others in this intimidating business battle, my remaining self-confidence seems to shrivel and shrink to non-existant and paralysed me.
Throught coaching, Sam introduced me to the tools I needed to acknowledge and value my skills and showed me how to use them. Her unconditional support and remarkable talent to continuously motivate me even when i felt i hit a brick wall was a real energy boost. Her own passion for what she does is a great inspiration to me and encouraged me to have faith in what I love doing.
With Sam's coaching I not only reached but surpassed my goal to have paid work as a new translator before session 5! This made me realize Energy + Action = Reward. Without Sam constantly challenging and motivating me, showing me how to think outside the box in figuring out alterntive mwthods in which I can progress faster, I would never have experienced this huge revelation. I was indeed capable of achieving what I really wanted if I only keep going and have faith. The bonus inrealising this affirmation, is once applied, works in all areas of my life, not just my dream career which I now have thanks to Sam!
With Sam’s professional and intuitive guidance, her creative ability to explore and brainstorm, as well as her spiritual intelligence and wisdom, not only did I learn how to get what I set my focus on businesswise, but I also gained some great insights in my spiritual and personal life, so it's been 200% benefit! Thank you a million times Sam!”

“Sam helped me achieve my goals by helping me realise and make the necessary changes I needed to make in my life in order to make my goals come true.
Sam helped me see past the “can't do it” thoughts in my head and helped me accept that I could achieve my life dream of travelling to Africa. I thought I might get there but I would have to borrow money to do it, instead I had my trip fully paid for AND spending money saved before I left on the trip of my dreams.
I also attained the ongoing gift of self-belief and knew that I had achieved this because Sam never took over or tried to “fix” any issues I faced on the road to achieving my goals. Sam helped me clear away self-doubt and understand how to positively visualise my own creativity. She helped me problem solve but never took over the responsibility of reaching those goals.
Sam made an equal investment in me by matching my commitment to make my goals happen. I found Sam to be a warm and engaging coach with a great understanding of the day-to-day issues that can sometimes get in the way of achieving goals.
Sam didn’t make these things happen – I did, however she used her skill and to gently challenge any disbelief I was holding about myself when I got stuck or side tracked. I never felt intimidated because Sam would always help me look beyond a setback or problem and get back to re energising my enthusiasm to achieve my goals.”

“For a while now I had been playing around with a career change, yet was very hesitant as to which way to go. I felt very aware of some changes which needed to be made, yet procrastinated or put them off, so as to avoid a possible failure or let down. I just simply put those tasks, chores, steps where I wanted to be off. Sam spelled it out quite clearly what I was doing, and even perhaps why. But she also provided me with an encouragement which outlined already positive things I had accomplished and how I could excel further.
Something just kind of clicked, as if I was under a spell. I changed gears and began moving forward. She continues to follow up on my progression, always emphasising the positive things done, no matter how simple they may have seemed to me.
It is so easy to sink back into the comforts of our old ways, but I choose not to let her down, and more importantly myself. Thanks Sam!”

“My website went live last Tuesday after your wonderful coaching the weekend before - thank you for inspiring me! ”
Amy Jackson ,Coach, UK
“Coaching with Sam has been an eye opening encounter. Before we started I had an idea of what I thought coaching was and what would be involved, but one of the greatest elements of the process was going in unexpected directions and covering surprising material. It was an inspiring experience.”
