“Ruth and I had several sessions together which I found really opened me up to my own thoughts and feelings about myself, my options and how I was to move forward. Her questioning techniques are great and she spends a lot of time getting to know the person, their values and beliefs which is very important in coaching.

It's a bit like walking along a darkened corridor with an old door at the end. She walked down that corridor with me and then coached me into opening the stiff old door that hasn't been opened in a long time.”

“I was fairly confused before receiving the coaching. Coaching with Ruth helped me narrow my options and add clarity in a very calm and controlled way.”

"Ruth’s coaching approach was a fantastic help in better understanding the reasons why I was not getting started in a new business venture that I had been looking at for some time.

It focused me on the steps I needed to take to get it going. Overall a great help in moving me forward successfully.”

"I had an opportunity to focus on my health and fitness and had a long held ambition to run in an organised race. I had one short coaching session with Ruth which really helped me establish my overall goal - to run a 10k race, and identify the steps (both in mind and body), I needed to take to achieve that goal.

After the session I entered a local 10k race, found a training plan to suit my available time and fitness levels and put in place all the remaining actions I'd identified in the session. Six months later - I achieved my goal - I completed the 10k, and raised £600 for charity in the process. It was fantastic day and I often look back and re-live the feeling of joy I experienced as I crossed the finishing line”

“Ruth has helped me identify several issues to address which encompass different areas of my personal life relating to self esteem and confidence. She has good questioning skills and helps me to clarify my outcomes by ensuring that they are achievable as well as functional.

Ruth quickly developed good rapport and maintained it throughout our coaching sessions whilst asking challenging and pertinent questions throughout. This enabled me to remain focused on what I wanted to achieve and I feel that my confidence and self esteem has benefited from our coaching arrangement.

Ruth has a professional and approachable manner and utilises her many communicative abilities to maximise the coaching session.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Ruth as a coach to anyone and it has been a pleasure to work with [The People Incubator].”

“Ruth is a friendly, fun person. This reflects well in her coaching style. Through coaching sessions with Ruth I have focused on establishing my coaching practice in the North East of England.

Ruth engaged well with me during the sessions and challenged my limiting beliefs and negative thoughts appropriately.

Thank you!”
