Coaching Testimonials

“In a series of four 2-hour coaching sessions (with two later reviews over the following year), Geoff helped me to think through my ‘core process’ and how this applied to my situation. I was feeling very stuck in a number of ways at the time, but even after the first session I left with a sense of hope, and a spring in my step; by the end I was beginning to see a way ahead and had the momentum to step out on a path of exploration, reflection and change, which is continuing years later.”

“helped me to align my private and public lives and commitments to maximum effect”

“Geoff Shattock has had a transformational impact on me personally and professionally. A few years ago I went through a one-on-one coaching exercise with Geoff called “Core Process.” As coach, he follows a line of inquiry by asking a series of questions. He has an unusual ability in this process for holding up a mirror in the coaching session and reflecting back what was communicated by words, feelings, and perceptions. He helped me to recognize, affirm, and articulate my set of gifts and abilities and to explore possible paths and potentials these abilities had for the organization. I recognize in Geoff Shattock, a leader of leaders, and one who can be of inestimable value for a wide range of organizations. He has a profound understanding of the concept of balance in one’s life—giving attention to personal growth, family, and organizational responsibilities. Geoff has my highest recommendation.”

“The life – professional coaching I received from Geoff Shattock was extremely beneficial in my personal and professional life. It enabled me to determine my “core” principles or “life center.” His coaching gave me the necessary tools to better relate to myself and the people I interact with on a daily basis. The time spent with Geoff Shattock helped me identify how my past has shaped my present and how it could determine my future if I did not make some changes in my life and work. I would highly recommend Geoff Shattock as a life – coach and mentor”

“I worked with Geoff in both a group and one to one setting fairly early on in my work career. At the time I was struggling with direction in both my business and personal life. I remember an analogy of being in a rowing boat on a journey but not really knowing how to steer. Through Geoff’s mentoring and coaching I was able discern the ‘best route’ for myself and in the years following made significant progress that I don’t believe I would have done had I not encountered Geoff at this critical time. I would gladly recommend Geoff’s services.”

“His wisdom and training enabled me to identify my core process. This has benefited me professionally in that I have recognized and embraced the pattern that many of the things I imagine develop into new techniques and strategies at work that assist our department’s growth and advancement. On a personal level, as I learned how to use the power of my imagination in emotional processing, relationships, and communication techniques, I have become more creative, specific and effective in my unique way of helping and serving others and making their lives more pleasurable. Rev. Shattock gave valuable instruction and information to me that I would have paid handsomely for with a professional coach and counsellor”

“I underwent life coaching sessions with Geoff Shattock designed to help me discover my “core process” (explained below) and to develop a personal mission statement.

Most people don’t know why they think and act the way they do – it just seems automatic, done without any consideration. That certainly was true in my case. The “core process” that Geoff Shattock’s coaching session helped to reveal solved that mystery for me. The core process is the inner “clockwork” that makes me tick. It influences the way I interact with the world and how I perceive my role in it. It simply defines for me the way that I operate, and understanding how I operate allows me to avoid pitfalls and maximize the good effects of – well, everything that I do and think. Geoff didn’t simply hand me some sort of a canned presentation. His coaching sessions were a detailed and involved interactive series of questions and observations that allowed me to uncover this for myself.

Having assisted me in discovering how and why I do things, he next went on to help me to develop a personal mission statement. As any company or organization knows, a mission statement that defines the purpose or reason for existing is essential to guide decision-making and actions, and to provide a path to accomplish that purpose. Before clearly defining my personal mission, I often found myself drifting aimlessly, or worse, actually moving in the wrong direction.

I am deeply indebted to Geoff Shattock and his apt coaching in these areas. It really has made a positive difference in my life”

“Geoff Shattock’s One to One coaching is by far the most extensive and eye-opening personal growth and development training I have ever received. Geoff led me to discover my very own personal mission statement. I’ve always longed for a deeper sense of calling and purpose in my life and Geoff’s coaching gave me the vision and insight I was lacking. He helped me to discover who I am and who I was created to be and how that knowledge can and will help me to add balance to my stressful life and workload. Thank you Geoff! Best training I have ever received personally and professionally! ”

“at a stressful time in my professional life, I was recommended to Geoff and undertook an 8 week course one to one with him, the results of which personally and indeed indirectly for my business interests, were extremely positive.

I have never met a better “listener”, indeed Geoff opened my eyes to the importance and power of listening and revealed what a demanding task it is to do properly.

In addition, Geoff is a consummate wordsmith who in this age of brief and superficial sound bites, reminded me of the importance of choosing one’s words carefully and diligently.

I have also witnessed Geoff addressing business audiences which he has done with tremendous skill, ease and effectiveness.

As my company and other business interests grow, I intend to utilise Geoff’s impressive experience and skill wherever possible, to benefit staff and colleagues.”
