Individual Coaching

You have been very perceptive in realising what holds me back and suggesting ways in which I can deal with this. You have also made me think about the contributions I make, the skills I have to offer and how these contribute towards the goal of being an excellent Business Analyst. This has assisted me in putting my role within the department into perspective and appreciating my individuality, i.e. the unique skills that I have to offer and the way in which these can fit into the big picture. Since we have been meeting I have focused more on these areas and less on trying to compete with others and be someone I'm not. In this way I am more motivated and happier in my work. I know what my goals are and how I can achieve them. This is able to be built upon, both professionally and personally, with a bit of focus. I would feel more motivated and empowered if I had the same message coming from above.

The coaching support that I have received from Linder over the past year has been truly valuable. She has assisted me in changing my attitude towards work to one of resourcefulness and confidence, instead of one based on a fear of failure and a fear of inadequacy. While the decision to change has been my own, Linder has helped me focus my energies on what is important and has provided useful insights and tools that I would never come up with on my own! Thanks to my coaching sessions, I have less stress at work and am producing better results. I am living more closely aligned to my values, which definitely has improved my quality of life.

You motivate me and get me more excited about my job and what I can do. You enable me to tap into my own resources and use my skills to help me work towards my potential. You tell me Yes you can do it and provide hints as to how to get there.... I feel more in control in my work ...and feel more empowered to do more to get to where I want to go. I use most occasions to practise what we talk about. I like to see the results of the discussions and not just theorise about them.

The personal attention of a career coach is a most unique experience. I recently had Linder Chong helping me work through some issues in my current job and work out where it is I want to go in the future. Linder offers a range of techniques that enable you to identify areas of strength and areas for growth. As well as focussing on career planning for the future Linder offers practical help in making your current situation more comfortable. I found this the most useful part of my coaching experience. Linder helped me put some new perspectives on situations I was encountering in my work environment. She helped me develop new ways of dealing with ongoing situations and shared experiences from her own career as an IT Project Manager. Given Linder’s considerable corporate experience, I found her advice invaluable in giving me practical, realistic ways of understanding how my skills and experience could be used in other areas. The process of career coaching enabled me to think more clearly and more specifically about what work environment would be most satisfying for me. We put in place a clear plan of action for me to achieve, which included talking to successful people in my area of interest. Linder encourages her clients to put much time and effort into uncovering who they are and what they want. I would recommend Linder to anyone who is serious about making the most of their current situation while putting in the effort to envision and plan for their career future.

Personal Branding DNA^TM

I want to thank you Linder, for giving me the opportunity to do the Personal Branding DNA Programme with you. I have found it to be fascinating, extremely comprehensive, and a wonderful journey of self-discovery. As a transitioning coach, I have found it to be of great value to me in focusing my talents and strengths, and as a consequence my business and my marketing. To know what makes me unique and what my purpose and personal contribution to the world is, is very uplifting and empowering. I also thank you for your wonderful support throughout - I could not have gone to the depth of self-discovery that we achieved in this program without your compassion and strength. Thank you - you were great!

The Coaching Clinic®

The Coaching Clinic Program is extremely effective in teaching the coaching skills required for individuals to immediately apply coaching in their work and personal environment and to bring coaching to corporations. The most powerful aspects of the program are the simplicity of the material, and the variety of ways used to deliver and reinforce the information. If you are looking to bring coaching to corporations, the clinic is a great place to start.

The Coaching Clinic was an on-going gift for me. Like any really good investment, it is paying a lot of interest and as I revisit the materials from time to time the capital continues to grow. I use the skills developed during the workshop not only in individual coaching/advising arrangements, but also in managing a work-team and in my personal relationships. I have greatly improved my ability to help individual and teams get the best out of themselves and this has in turn been a significant benefit to the organization I work in.

Business Coaching

Attempting to effectively run two businesses while balancing my roles as a husband and a father of three under five year olds has been a challenge to say the least. Then I began working with Linder. Through a systemized process of exploring and identifying my core values, I was able to gain greater insight as to what really mattered. Linder also brought with her a wealth of systems experience, enabling her to offer effective suggestions to some of the business challenges I was experiencing. My greatest benefit of working with Linder was the steady development of a sense of purpose and an understanding of my role in the big scheme of things. My heartfelt thanks to you Linder.

Dear Linder,
I want to thank you for the time you spent coaching me on how to market my business successfully. You managed to turn what originally seemed a daunting task into an achievable plan of action. I am looking forward to effectively implementing all the marketing strategies and advice you packed into our session together. Although I took notes at the time, I appreciated your follow up written report outlining everything we had covered. Again sincere thanks for assisting me on how to get my message "out there" to my potential customers.
