Client Testimonials
Company Specific Workshops:
"As a team we attended a workshop hosted by Jo Orgill and Michaela Partridge. Our objective was to put in place both personal and team goals to create a focus on the company's objectives and help us achieve our targets for the year.
We found the workshop to be very helpful. It was well run, professionally organised and fun. Michaela and Jo created an individualised workshop that was tailormade to suit our needs. They accomodated different language needs and made everyone feel welcome and that their contribution was important.
It was a great motivational day that has stayed with us and put us on the right path to reach all of our goals. We would be pleased to recommend the course to companies who wish to create an atmosphere of support for their team. It was certainly a day well spent." Dr. Helen Cummins, editor of abcmallorca. (Company specific 'Kick Start' workshop.)
Workshops for individuals:
"Thank you for a great day last week, I really enjoyed it and a couple of things really resonated with me and made me think! It's good bouncing information around with other people and meeting new people is always interesting.
You both delivered the workshop with your usual professionalism and well done for keeping things on time!" M.N., Mallorca, 'Focus on what you want and make it happen' Motivation Workshop attendee
"I really enjoyed Focus on What You Want And Make It Happen. My business revolves around personal development products, so I have daily exposure to success principles and strategies. I felt your workshop materials were well presented and professional, and I love your energy and enthusiasm. The class-environment was comfortable, thought-provoking and participatory. Overall, I felt it was a very productive event for me." Tanya MacIntyre, Mallorca, 'Focus on what you want and make it happen' Motivation Workshop attendee
"Thank you to Michaela and Jo for a great Confidence Booster workshop. I thought the course was well run and I certainly picked up some useful pointers that I will keep referring back to." J.W. Mallorca, 'Confidence Booster' Workshop attendee
"Jo and Michaela - Thanks for a wonderful event on "Facing your fears". Sometimes I tend to make a mountain out of a molehill. Remembering to break it into little pieces makes it much easier to face those unbearable deeds that one has to get done. Also I have been waking up and getting the things I dread the most done first and you're right it is lightening my day and mood for the rest of the day. I look forward to The Best Year Ever 2010 events. Thanks for your ongoing support! Kindest Regards" Yolanda Richeson, Mallorca, 'Confidence Booster' workshop attendee.
"The BYE Confidence Booster Workshop was a very enjoyable and constructive experience, reinforcing our abilities to be and feel more positive and confident and have self-belief in all aspects of our everyday lives. I think we all left holding our heads high, feeling motivated and smiling! What a great event! Thanks Jo and Michaela." S.G. Alaro, Mallorca, 'Confidence Booster' workshop attendee.
"I would definitely recommend the kick start workshop as it makes you focus on what needs to be done to start to have the life you want." 'Kick Start' workshop attendee.
"The Best Year Ever Workshop is the best start to a year you can hope for. It allowed me to review what I want to achieve this year in all areas of my life in a fun, relaxed and warm environment. There were some fabulous women there and the lunch at the end of the morning was the perfect ending to share our workshop experience. I'd recommend it to anyone to make sure this year is not just a re-run of last year." 'Kick Start' workshop attendee.
"Highly recommended for anyone with a dilemma in their life, de-clutter your life and feel more focused."
"Since attending the Kick Start workshop in January, my feet haven't touched the ground! I've started Spanish lessons which is something I've been meaning to do for ages, I'm moving to another area (still in Mallorca), and have generally felt more positive and energised. The workshop gave me clarity about the areas I really needed to focus on to make my life richer and more rewarding." 'Kick Start' workshop attendee.
"I attended the workshop in January 2010 and found the experience to be massively valuable. The workshop itself was professional and well run. Both Michaela and Jo created a great atmosphere and were on hand always with clear instructions, great support and encouragement. Due to the exercises I became very focused on what I needed to change and found that within one week I was taking advantage of opportunities that I would have overlooked had I not had the opportunity to really focus on what I wanted. Since the workshop I have enrolled on a Spanish course I have been promising myself for years, I have had a promotion and I am on the right road to create the life I want. I could not recommend the workshop enough to anyone who wants to create a better life for themselves.
Coaching with Jo
"I have had the most fantastic experience working with Jo, I always felt extremely supported and able to leap huge mountains in a single bound! In the time that I worked with her, I completely changed the way I see myself. Previously I had very low self-esteem and this affected all areas of my life, I have since allowed myself to envision what I really dream about and to that end have been working on ways to make this happen - which includes a career change, as I realised I was in totally the wrong job and it would not help me to get to where I wanted to be....... I have no hesitation in recommending Jo to anyone who thinks that they need some help in getting where they want to be." L.C. (career change & life needing a boost)
"Jo was like an inner guiding voice. I knew what I wanted to do. I even knew what I needed to do to get there but I was always finding excuses. Jo made me realise how lame my excuses really were and along the way, she has also passed on some very good ideas and counsel and provided boundless encouragement. I am so very grateful". J.H. (weight loss)
"I knew what I should be doing, but wasn't doing it. Jo's coaching challenged my inertia/excuses (in the nicest possible way) to help me get on my way and make progress one step at a time...and those small steps have all added up to get me exactly where I wanted to be" C.D. (sports challenge & dating)
"I would not hesitate in recommending Jo's services to anyone. Jo has helped me to believe in myself and my abilities and that success is possible, she has motivated me in so many ways towards my goal of working for myself. I have already achieved so much and I believe wholeheartedly that this would not have happened without her guidance and way of enabling me to find the answers. I have found Jo extremely professional and easy to talk to and always look forward to our sessions, by the end of each session I feel so excited and motivated that I go away with butterflies in my tummy." S.H. (career change)
"Since working with Jo I have made great progress in the areas of planning & goal setting. I have learnt how to do both in a way that works for me. As a result, I am getting things done and achieving what I set out to do. After each call with Jo I felt fired up and ready for action. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of working with Jo and would recommend her coaching to anyone who wants to make positive changes in their life."
Coaching with Michaela
"Thank you very much for the coaching. I found it very helpful in encouraging me to focus on my goals and to plan actions to support the achievement of the goals. I have made changes to the way that I run my life as a result of the coaching and these have been positive changes for the better. I have also used the coaching sessions to prioritise competing demands in my life and been able to allocate some things a lower priority which has made it easier to focus on key areas." Mia (work/life balance).
"Thank you very much for your help and support during the last three months. I have found the coaching with you very helpful in making time for me to consider various aspects of my life in a structured way, as I undertake a significant career change due to redundancy.
The coaching has significantly improved my communication skills by identifying simple straight forward actions I can take straight away. It has also enabled me to start to develop a longer term plan for myself to continue working on my communication skills. The coaching also identified my self-confidence as an issue and has helped to restore it". C.C. (career change)
"Since the beginning of my coaching with you, Michaela, I have experienced so many positive changes in my life. Each of our enjoyable sessions were focused and challenging, enabling me to see clearly what I wanted in my life. You helped me to develop clear and well thought out strategies to make my hopes become reality.
Through the structured process I was able to work through and deliver tasks I hadn't dreamed of before and enjoying myself whilst doing so! All the way through my coaching I have felt in control of my destiny at last!
Michaela, you have helped me to identify the issues that were preventing me from setting clear goals and achieving them and also you gave me the self-belief that I can achieve what I really want. Now at the end of my coaching programme I feel motivated and equipped to continue building my life in the direction I have chosen with your help.
Thank you Michaela for the wonderful summary that you have left me with as well as words of encouragment that I can always refer to. Thanks for the life changing experience Michaela". Jay (Business start-up)
"Over the course of my coaching programme, Michaela you have helped me to focus and change my way of thinking about my business and the way it relates to the rest of my life. I have managed to restructure my businesses in such a way that I am now in a position to move my working life in the direction that will suit my future life in general.
You have challenged me and the coaching has made me think deeper about issues that would normally have been swept under the carpet and dealt with later or never! I have started putting much of my life into perspective and not making as may panic decisions. Organising my life and priorities has come more important since my coaching and it is helping with everything.
I have found your way of working to be organised, methodical and practical for my way of working. I have to congratulate you". A.M. (Business development)
"Coaching has been an extremely intresting and enlightening exercise for me. Having a 3 year old child and expecting another I previously never really spent time on myself - the coaching has allowed me to do this and has revealed to me some very important things about me, my life, my ambitions and my hopes and fears. This in itself has been quite a revelation! Then to start to work on these aspects and put things into action has been rewarding and extremely confidence-boosting.
Michaela, your explanations are clear and consise and your manner relaxed and calming and very encouraging. You have taught me to be realsitic with my goals and feel positive about the things I do achieve rather than negative about those things I haven't. Overall I feel happier and more "centred" in my life than I ever did before. I am very grateful to you." Debbie (Organisation and prioritisation)
