Richard Lockyer

Hi Lyn,

I just had to send you this message to thank you for quite literally changing my life. Since being coached by you I have gained the confidence to double my fee’s and really hone my niche. Remember when you first started coaching me and I told you that I would rather die than give an on stage presentation, well I gave my first presentation last weekend it went fantastically well and I am still alive!! You believing in me and giving me the confidence to do it makes me feel like I have really arrived. Bring on the next one and thanks for being a great coach and making it possible.

I have been working with Lyn since the beginning of the year. I recently went back and looked at the notes from my first session WOW I have achieved nearly twice as much in both financial and personal goals, I feel that I am so much greater than I was 12 months ago. Lyn’s gentle pushing, cajoling and excellent questions have taken me to another level. I cannot thank her enough. Thanks Lyn

Lyn has been my Master Coach mentor for 6 months now, and I have found her coaching to be invaluable. She has a knack of getting to the route of any issues and addressing them in a logical manner. Lyn’s friendly and assertive style of coaching encourages me in an accountable manner, which in turn, has enabled me to reach my goals:- At the moment I have a coaching practice of 20 clients.

Lyn became my life coach in April 2007 after I had completed my training course with New Insights Life coach training. I had just begun to start coaching “for real” coaching in the evenings so that I could carry on with my full time job as a bank manager whilst I built up my coaching business. Within a month of having Lyn as my coach I had scaled back my hours at work to 22 per week. Very soon this still wasn’t enough time to spend on my new growing business so I handed in my notice and became a full time coach. I have never looked back. With Lyn’s support and encouragement, I now have a thriving business and am now coaching other life coaches myself. I am just about to launch into training, providing work shops for employees of medium sized companies. Lyn is continually investing in herself through training which in turn is an investment in her clients as those are the one’s that will benefit.

By Dr. Wilf Archer “My confession. As most of you know I do quite a bit of Coaching (Health Coaching, Business Coaching, Stress Management Coaching, Executive Coaching, Risk Coaching, etc) but what you probably don't know is that even though I believe that Coaching is essential to any growth I have never had much time for this new fangled service they call 'Life Coaching'. I always thought that it was just another twee term coined by New Agers as a means of getting client's hard earned cash. When I was training to be a therapist the course included a section on Life Coaching but my personal coaching experiences came from the Skills and Business Performance arena so I never really gave Life Coaching any credibility. It always appeared to be a pretender to real coaching. I mean I don't know anyone who doesn't know about Goal Setting and the likes. On top of that I am already very successful so whenever I am pitched by a 'Life Coach' I want to know what possible benefit they could be to me. Oh, and I have been pitched by a few of the big names in Life Coaching
I never ever got a decent answer that convinced me that I would benefit from a Life Coach.
Well that was until I came across a Life Coach by the name of Lyn Smith. Lyn was not hollow and did not confuse the difference between Life Coaching and other forms of coaching. When I asked her to prove that Life Coaching was worthwhile all she said was "Give me an hour and if you are still of the same opinion afterwards then that is fine but all I ask is that you approach our session with an open mind." So I gave her an hour and I was, much to my surprise, very impressed by the session. Of course I was analysing her every word, listening for the NLP techniques and nuances but there was none of that - it was pure, honest and very worthwhile. It was not pretentious nor was it twee - Lyn was excellent and convinced me that Life Coaching (as carried out by Lyn at least) has a very valuable role to play and can be of immense benefit, even for a cynic like me. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
So if anyone wants to experience Life Coaching as it is meant to be carried out then why not contact Lyn and listen to what she has to say. If you tell her that Wilf sent you, you might just get a free trial session.”

Lyn has been my mentor and development coach for the last 6 months. Lyn’s combined wealth of knowledge, experience and coaching really works to ensure you strive to achieving the best for yourself, your clients and coaching practice. As a Master Coach you need to "walk the talk too" by having your own coach by continually developing yourself and using an experienced coach like Lyn.
