Yvonne is my first coach; I couldn’t have asked for a better one. I’ve found our sessions to be immensely useful for laying out my thoughts, pushing further to creatively tackle issues I’m concerned about, and increasing my motivation to get things done. Really enjoyed her patient approach and genuine enthusiasm when I achieved a breakthrough!

Yvonne is an amazing coach! She has given me great insight into my own patterns and way of thinking that were holding me back from reaching my full potential and gave me simple yet effective tools and strategies to change the way I approach these obstacles in my life. Yvonne is extremely insightful, encouraging, and professional when it comes to coaching. Some of her tools I use daily in both personal and professional settings. These tools and strategies help me stay focused to maintain a happy and healthy lifestyle. She has a true desire to help people and has helped me regain my own confidence and sense of accountability for my own life. I cannot recommend Yvonne enough!

We were delighted with the Resilience workshop Yvonne delivered to our Women’s Network.  Her natural warmth and engaging personality immediately put people at ease with the result that there was great engagement and all present felt they were able to contribute.  We really appreciated the mix of activities including the breakout groups and the timings allocated worked perfectly.  Yvonne is a great communicator, her material was really well researched and presented and at exactly the right level for the audience.  Feedback was overwhelmingly positive and we sincerely hope that we’ll be able to engage Yvonne for future sessions, working with her was a real pleasure.

The 'Overcoming Imposter Syndrome' delivered by Yvonne Tajok was fabulous. The University Aurora Network was extremely positive about the learning from this workshop session. Yvonne quickly established a rapport where colleagues felt they could share their experiences and responses were met with warmth and understanding. Information sharing was well-balanced with interactive exercises where colleagues could engage, reflect and explore their thinking with one another. Colleagues were effusive about their take-aways including tools to 'challenge and reframing their inner voice', 'focusing on what can be done rather than what cannot' and practising their PQ reps. Thank you Yvonne and we hope to work with you again.

I had the pleasure of hosting the ‘Resilience: Turning Reactions into Responses’ workshop, and I was truly impressed. Yvonne’s energy was infectious, making the session engaging and empowering. Yvonne’s personable approach, coupled with relatable examples, made the concept of resilience easy to grasp. I left with plenty of valuable takeaways that I can apply in both my personal and professional life. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enhance their resilience skills!

The Resilience session delivered by Yvonne Tajok was fantastic. Colleagues were enthusiastically interacting and willing to share openly throughout the session. The high level of engagement did not impact on the time management as there was sufficient time for all of the activities to take place smoothly with the addition of breakout rooms that were not rushed. I strongly recommend Yvonne as a Facilitator as her approach is warm and compassionate, with excellent preparation to make the session an absolute delight to participate in within the allocated time.

Yvonne delivered an Overcoming Imposter Syndrome session for Women in Leadership at Kent University, which was attended by a wide variety of colleagues and greatly appreciated by all. Yvonne was personable, professional, and brought genuine empathy and understanding to the session. Yvonne created space for colleagues to reflect on their own experiences, balanced with time to connect and share in a safe space. The practical nature of the session allowed attendees to take tools away with them, and I am very grateful to Yvonne for leading such an empowering session – Thank you!

Yvonne recently ran an online training session for colleagues at the University of Westminster on the subject of Imposter Syndrome. The interactive session provided us with information, opportunities to ask questions, to reflect as a group, as well as useful smaller break-out sessions. The training was insightful and provided a safe and supportive space for reflection and to set out aims for growth.Thank you, Yvonne, for helping us to recognise and embrace our strengths, uniqueness and talents!

Yvonne delivered the ‘Claiming Your Space and Overcoming Imposter Syndrome’ session at one of our monthly Women in Navitas Network workshops last year. Along with her warm and friendly attitude, Yvonne brought along with herself a lot of knowledge and resources to support women in particular, that may be struggling with imposter syndrome. During the session, multiple people spoke in the forum that had not previously shared their experiences and some highlighted that they felt they were the only ones feeling like an imposter. I felt that that was a good balance between critical reflection via the use of key questions, rich discussion/sharing of real-life experiences and content delivery to expand our knowledge of the topic itself. It was an informative but interactive session – just as we requested.

 

I particularly valued the section around the strategies to overcome imposter syndrome as I felt it was important for the audience to leave with tools after the workshop itself. It was also very insightful learning about where imposter syndrome may come from, this was particularly helpful for a diverse audience working across many different functions within our global organisation. Yvonne also shared an activity for after the session to support the audience with setting goals or taking action outside of the workshop. We have received positive feedback that this has helped with keeping up the momentum and overcoming feelings of Imposter Syndrome.

Thank you Yvonne for sharing your time and knowledge with our Women’s network. We took a lot from the session and look forward to working with you again in the near future!

Yvonne did a training in my Build with Boundaries Academy on Resilience. It was very well-received and I thoroughly enjoyed her calm approach and facilitation style. It was very helpful with practical questions to use when we are faced with doubts. Thanks Yvonne!

I have worked with Yvonne for several sessions now and every time it has been great. After each session I know exactly what I need to do and there is a clear path for me to follow. During the session Yvonne gives me the space and time needed to answer the questions as honestly as possible. For anyone looking to have a clear strategy put in place so you can finally sort out issues you may be facing, Yvonne is 100% the coach you need.

~Luke

 

 

Yvonne coached me on several occasions during the past nine months and kept me on topic until every aspect was out in the open and the available options evaluated. Some of these were challenging problems, serious professional things, that left untouched may have taken a lot longer to identify and resolve. She asks good, probing questions and guides the conversation to outcomes that the client can take away and work further with. Being thorough and curious, her questions and the associated conversation flow naturally, unpacking a lot in the process. I'm looking forward to working with Yvonne again.

~Nick

 

 

Yvonne is kind and thoughtful, she took her time to listen & ask me the difficult questions that I needed to be addressed. I always came away from my sessions with Yvonne thinking – how could I not see that for myself? How was it that simple? She guided me through many tools to make change achievable. Yvonne has a knack of being able to see the wood for the trees, see through the chaos and make it all seem so clear which in my mind, is inthe latest. Thank you.

~Lucy

 

 

Working with Yvonne enabled me to order my jumble of seemingly, elusive aspirations into a clear path, with tangible steps for success.  Her questioning, and patience whilst I searched for answers, was both friendly and professional.  I'd highly recommend coaching sessions with her if you feel stuck in any area of your life.

I have really enjoyed Yvonne Coaching me. I have found her professional felt comfortable talking to her, found she had a way of asking questions that really seemed to get me thinking and exploring ideals. This allowed me to explore developing my business. A true professional and I would fully recommend her.

~James

Yvonne has an amazing capacity to listen to information and filter out what is important, like sifting for gold! I would highly recommend coaching sessions with her especially to anyone who finds clear goal setting a challenge.

~Carol

 

 

I am so, so grateful to the coaching sessions that I did with you. As a mum of 2 young kids, I have felt stuck and lost professionally, and you really helped me to be back on track, identify my needs in my career, and give me the confidence to do the next steps. It certainly opened up a lot of opportunities for me. It has definitely not been an easy journey, but the more I appreciate your guidance and support. Recently, you gave me the confidence to do what I wanted to do and I have been happier in my job since. I have learned more about myself since our sessions. It has also helped me change the way I think about myself in a much more positive way. It has been a lot of ups and downs to get here, and I’m just so thankful to have you! Thank you so much for your help and support. You’ve been so instrumental in my professional (and personal) journey.

Yvonne is an insightful, empowering, caring and compassionate coach. She helped me with crystallising my goals and then implementing the steps necessary to help me transition smoothly from one career to another. At the age of 55, I sold my child care business and I now embarking on a complete change in my career direction. I now want to dedicate my remaining working years to helping others and making a positive contribution in the not-for-profit sector. Yvonne helped guide me to define and achieve my ultimate career goal of giving back and identifying charitable organisations that share my values and would be a good fit for me. Yvonne helped me with defining my goals and creating an action plan to ensure my goal attainment. Yvonne is clearly passionate about coaching and she loves what she does. She is a great listener, communicator and problem-solver. She genuinely enjoys helping others overcome their challenges and achieve their life goals. Thanks Yvonne

~Catherine

 

 

My coaching with Yvonne has been enlightening. She has a natural way of helping me funnel through my head-noise and focus on my core issues. Her sessions are like helping you pan for those golden nuggets instead of focusing on the silt and stones. Yvonne has a calm, patient and flexible approach to coaching, peppered with warmth. She understands there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to working with clients. In just two sessions, I've been able to get unstuck and gain the clarity I needed which I can action. Moreover, with a confidence I didn't have before. She's also introduced me to some powerful new NLP techniques. If you're a woman in a leadership role, needing support in growing confidence and resilience to help you get from stuck to unstuck, I highly recommend Yvonne!

~Samantha

 

 

I have been on several coaching sessions with Yvonne and I have found her to be extremely professional, focused and collaborative in her coaching. Yvonne’s skills in probing to unearth challenges, known and unknown, ensure that the sessions are highly productive in driving positive outcomes. I would have no hesitation in recommending Yvonne as a coach and am sure that she will be highly successful.
