What Others Say

What Others Say About Us

"I was angered with my work situation for months, and began disliking every aspect. This was impacting on the people that reported through to me. Maria spent time coaching me to be certain about what I wanted, and to set my focus on results. She taught me how to use specific types of language to help influence getting what I needed. I am astounded at how a few small adjustments in what I was thinking, and what I was saying to others could make such a difference to my work performance and environment. Brilliant!" Brian Davidson, Client Services Manager, AKL.

"I wanted to give up smoking and had been a social smoker for many years. After two meetings with Maria, I stopped. When I am offered a smoke on social occassions now, it is very easy for me to say no. I no longer have the urge or need that old familar fix and it's a great feeling because I struggled with it for years." Jenny Saunders, Lab Technician, AKL

"Spiders had frightened me since I was a child, and it was a regular joke in our family until I realised I was teaching my son to fear spiders too. When I saw a spider my skin crawled, and I'd panic. When Maria advised that she could show me how to overcome this I was sceptical but had nothing to lose. I booked in a session, and by the end of it those feelings had gone. When I see spiders now, I still don't want to pick them up, but I no longer have the same panic stricken reaction, and that is a big relief!" Fiona Wright, North Shore. 

"When in NZ earlier in 2009, I attended a seminar where Maria was speaking on NLP. I found it fascinating and decided to use her as a coach. I had a career goal that required me to implement a large project on time, and at a professional standard. I met with Maria approximately five times over three months. I wanted someone external to my situation to facilitate my focus. She did that, stretched my capabilities, offered a clean sounding board, and made certain that decisions led to my goal. She is a highly accurate, functional and intuitive coach." Glen Willis, Marketing Consultant, Brisbane, Australia.      

Maria is a big picture thinker who performs at a highly detailed level. As a coach she has helped me move in the direction that I want in my personal life and achieve traction with developing my career as a trainer. Maria employs her experience in the industry to create and deliver inspirational and relevant training programmes designed to increase the effectiveness of staff at all levels. I consider myself lucky to have such a good mentor to learn from!” Stacey La Hack, Contact Centre Trainer, Auckland.

“Maria is a truly inspirational person whose skills are to be envied. As a coach she ensures that clear goals are established and maintained, as a manager she is supportive and ensures that her staff are always extending their skill range, and I consider myself to be privileged to have access to an amazing person!” Jason Palmer, Contact Centre Trainer, Auckland.

"Maria ran a two hour seminar on memory improvement. I was amazed how in two hours I went from believing I had a bad memory to realising I have a great memory. And with a few small techniques, how I can retain pieces of information without writing it down. Surprisingly, attending this seminar has even helped my confidence. Thanks Maria, I hope you run a longer course soon, because I want to know more." Andrea Green, Executive Assistant, Auckland.
