I attended the Feel the Fear Workshop on 12 September and I found it an excellent environment to discuss my fears. I feel I have a framework and the tools to commence addressing these fears. I realise that the success of the workshop is ultimately with me.

The Feel the Fear Workshop I attended on 12 September gave me a reminder that life is a journey and an ongoing process. But I do have a choice.

Feedback from David Whitley on 01 Sep 2010
Absoutely the most beneficial set of 6 coaching sessions I have had in New Zealand. Yvonne has the ability to draw out the answers; to questions of personal future direction. Yvonne put her finger on the pulse very quickly with my strengths; and how to apply them more effectively! I strongly recommend Yvonne; as Strategic Direction has provided both Executive Coaching and Leadership Development in a professional and personal level at all times. This has created a clear direction for me. Thank you Yvonne :)

The workshop was highly practical, which is a great way to learn. The best parts were the informal chats we had among the group sharing our experiences, which is testament to Yvonne’s fantastic facilitation and ability to make everyone feel at ease

Even though I have read this book a number of times over the years, I have gained so much more out of today. I can see the SMALL STEPS that I need to make to get the life I want. These steps are achievable

Feedback from Tala Wilding on 21 Jun 2010
It was good to have the chance to do some self reflection and to be able to recognise some things that were not so obvious

Feedback from Annie Whitley on 21 Jun 2010
I have enjoyed the reflection & tools to continue to work on my fears. Thanks Yvonne for a valuable session. Your facilitation made it easy to grasp the concepts and feel safe to explore further and there is such congruence in your delivery. You model the content well.

Feedback from Mary Mowbray on 05 Mar 2010
Well - You have no idea how you have influenced me. I learnt some time ago that when you say I WON’T have a coffee, the research shows that the brain does not recognize the word WON’T. So, I have stopped saying that . I played my tennis club champs last night, as I mentioned in your workshop. 6-4 up in the first, 4-6 down in the second , 3-1 down in the third. THAT IS WHEN I STARTED THE ‘I AM’ AFFIRMATION you’d talked about. And the next long rally I won on my own! We won 6-4 in the third. 2hrs of hard tennis and now I need a massage!! Now I’m preparing mentally for my next game which will be harder but by then I will be mentally tough.

Yvonne is an amazing lady, she is so positive and passionate about helping people overcome their fears and helping them to get the most out of life. She helps you understand that not everything in life is going to be easy, but you will handle it and find a way to overcome these difficulties. I am grateful to Yvonne for allowing me to provide her with administration support and hope to work with her for some time to come.

Feedback from Monique on 07 Jul 2009
I found Yvonne to have high integrity and EQ. Her open, honest and interactive style guides personal journey and self discovery instead of dictating answers. She understands the corporate world, has diverse expereince and knowledge to draw on and can relate to the pressures females sometimes face. I found Yvonne was great at helping me better understand other peoples learning and communication styles, and particularly how they react under pressure. Yvonne helped me examine my personal and career values to determine organisational/leadership/role fit. Yvonne would be a great ongoing mentor!

Yvonne provided expert facilitation for our team workshop recently, managing to engage and encourage the diverse participants to share their experiences and thoughts in an open and warm environment. The workshop achieved its purpose in a timely and efficient manner whilst building a strong sense of collective team spirit and ongoing enthusiasm for working together to achieve our goals. Yvonne's expertise and wisdom guided this complex process and allowed us to achieve concrete outputs that exceeded our initial expectations.

Feedback from Rositta on 18 Mar 2009
I enjoyed my session with Yvonne. During the session, I was helped to release emotional blockage that I didn't know that it was there. Since that session I've been able to move on and have more confidence in doing what I want to do. It was an amazing experience that I have with Yvonne. Highly recommend to anyone who feel stuck in their life.

Feedback from Cath on 02 Nov 2008
I first met Yvonne when I was struggling with career direction after a period of time out of the work force raising children. My coaching with Yvonne has been empowering, challenging, thought-provoking and insightful. I would highly recommend Yvonne to anyone interested in reassessing not only their career direction, but their life's goals and ambitions. Thanks Yvonne!

Feedback from katie on 09 May 2008
I can't recommend Yvonne highly enough! I started coaching with her in late 2007. At that time I was succeeding & being recognised in my position, however I knew it wasn't the vocation of my desires. My problem was, I didn't know quite what that was! I will soon have my final session with Yvonne. She has helped me work out my dream job - and - she helped me GET that dream job! Along the way I have learnt lots about myself. It's been a great journey!

Yvonne McLean's clarity stands out from the crowd. I recently had the pleasure of hearing Yvonne speak about her business, and I was impressed by the clarity and the ease with which she was able to define her coaching businesses difference from the norm. Clarity of purpose has helped me make major changes in my business and personal worlds, and I would not hesitate to recommend Yvonne to anyone seeking to be the best in their field. Thanks Yvonne!

Feedback from Paul Hutchinson on 15 Feb 2008
I commenced coaching sessions with Yvonne early in 2007. She is relaxed & friendly but expert at drawing from within you, the information & pathways needed to achieve your goals whether these are business, personal or a better balance between the two. The goals we set improved my business results almost immediately. My new work habits also gave me more personal time and less guilt whilst enjoying that time. 10/10 Yvonne!!

Feedback from Bronwyn Tunnage on 27 Dec 2007
Working with Yvonne empowered me to change the way that I look at my issues and to develop practical solutions. The accountability of setting goals in each session gives focus and enthusiasm between meetings & Yvonne encourages me to acknowledge and celebrate my achievements. Reviewing the year I see the very real changes in my physical and emotional landscape - a direct consequence of working with Yvonne, & I am now planning my goals for the next year. I would strongly recommend her as a coach.

I actually won some complimentary coaching sessions at a networking evening for trainers. It is something I hadn't really considered before. I found it extremely beneficial gained a lot from this.

Feedback from Alyson Keller on 26 Sep 2007
I really enjoyed your presentation on acknowledgement this morning at the ICF Chapter breakfast. It was great to get a deeper understanding and useful to explore the difference between compliment and acknowledgement. The way you worked through this helped me to get to grips with it much more than I had previously. I also loved your stories to reinforce the key messages and learning. You have a lovely way of presenting Yvonne and should keep looking for opportunities to do more.

Feedback from Silena Kirkconnell-Kawana on 22 Jun 2007
Yvonne was recommended to me for coaching after I was promoted into a senior position. I found her to be an excellent listener with an intuitive ability to unravel the KEY issues. She enabled me to work through options with focus and objectivity. After each session I felt empowered to take action improving my self-efficacy and confidence. She is a thought provoker, a challenger and a woman of compassion. I strongly recommend her as a coach to work through issues for clarity and resolve.

I got to know Yvonne through her involvement in using our Centell Better Life Toolkit. I've been most impressed with Yvonne's approach to her executive coaching. She is such a gifted communicator with a real passion to develop the people she engages. She always has a meaningful message to share and passes on such wonderful gems along the way.

Feedback from Hannah Samuel on 06 Mar 2007
Although I haven't known Yvonne long, I've met her on many occasions as part of the YWCA Future Leaders mentoring programme. I've always found her to be approachable, professional and insightful. Her calm manner, coupled with her personal and professional expertise, are significant assets in her role as a professional coach. I certainly hope to work more closely with Yvonne in the future.
