Here are case studies written by clients about their experiences of being coached. They are similiar to testimonials, however they offer an fuller account of their coaching experiences with Samantha. I was coached in two areas: Career, and Fun & Recreation. I find it very motivating and challenging; to the point, so I can't avoid doing what is most important. 3: Did Samantha’s coaching benefit your life and if so, how? Yes. Before I had a life coach, I felt quite directionless with singing. When I did think about what direction I wanted to go in, I felt powerless and fearful, so I didn't really take the first steps on any tasks. When Samantha began coaching me, I was very honest about my fear and lack of motivation. She helped me see that I could change my thoughts about my approach to singing and my insecurity around other people in the music world. After that, I decided that if I was going to begin working hard on this, I needed to have the skill of stopping to rest. Our session on fun and recreation was quite practical and gave me insight into my own hindering attitudes about it. The assignments she gave me really helped motivate me to continue this discipline in the future as it was so rewarding. I also saw how the beliefs I had about people in my home were dragging me down and affecting my capacity for recreation, and even though it was scary, I moved forward on ironing things out relationally with them. What a gift of peace that brought! Following the next session, I was able to face the intimidation of re-establishing dialogue with an old contact, and also to try to make some new contacts. That got the ball rolling, which was the first and hardest step. After that, I found myself taking the surprising and courageous step of thinking pro-actively about how I could make singing financially productive. Before this, even the thought of trying to put food on the table by doing what I enjoy seemed inconceivable. I began to feel it might be within reach to try to take certain practical steps that might make it possible to earn income with my gifts, and I have taken a few of those steps already. It feels very rewarding to make goals and to begin to see the fulfilment of them coming closer. I am realizing I am more competent than I thought I was, more capable of being motivated, and have just as much of a chance of making it and even getting an edge as anyone else. 4: Would you recommend Samantha’s coaching to prospective clients, if yes, why? I would definitely recommend it. She seems to have a handle on the integral elements making up a broad range of disciplines, so I feel I can trust her coaching knowledge and apply it to my specific field. She will ask probing questions, and is eager to hear background information to help assist a client more specifically. Her questions help you to view your field through different eyes and focus on what is truly important. She is also quite encouraging and so I never felt criticised, but on the contrary, empowered to do what was before me. 5: What advice would you give to a prospective client that is thinking about receiving coaching from Samantha but wants further information? I would recommend reading through the Positive-Vision website, and if you have questions, write Samantha an e-mail and ask. She is open about herself and great at responding to e-mails. If finances are an issue, think about the cost of going to a musical, opera, ballet, restaurant, or other entertainment you might do. It might impact your life in a more far-reaching way to give up one or two of these events and spend the money on two trial coaching sessions. Also, if you are so inclined, pray for the finances to be made available. I would also say, write down areas of your life where you feel dissatisfied, choose one, and try two coaching sessions with her. See how things can improve as you try coaching with Samantha. This will give you a better picture about how coaching can positively influence your life. 6: Looking at the area (i.e. career, relationship, etc.) in which you sought coaching, how were you before coaching on a rate of 0-10 (0 being completely dissatisfied and 10 absolutely satisfied) ……………. Career: it was a 1! 7: After your coaching sessions with Samantha how did you feel? Career: 6 and growing (that is quite high on my scale as I began with a '1' and my standards are high) Fun and Recreation: 7.5 (after just one session on it) 8: Would you recommend Samantha’s coaching to anyone you know? If yes, please Yes, I would recommend Samantha to people I know. She has a great gift, and she helps to give that extra push of energy so that important things will get done. You know there is a person out there believing in you and expecting it of you, and you are expecting it of yourself as you begin to believe you can. I have many friends whom I want to see move forward and succeed, and I think, “If they only had a life coach like Samantha, they wouldn't be stuck in the same rut I've been hearing about all these years!” 9: Has this been the first time you have used a Life Coach? If yes, what are your overall thoughts about being coached by Samantha at Positive Vision? This is not the first time I have used a Life Coach. I had one to help me finish my Masters degree and move on afterward, and I felt he didn't have an idea about how to help me find direction after I finished. On the contrary, with Samantha, this is the kind of progress I have been looking for since I graduated in 2007! If only I had had her help two years ago! 10: Any further comments about the Positive Vision service and the difference it has made to your life? I feel less afraid to get up in the morning, as there are things I WANT to do awaiting me now, things that I also know I can do. I am experiencing the joy of doing what I was made to do. And after completing a few things, I can take a break with a clear mind and really enjoy myself!
