How long have you been a Life Coach?

Actually, it was something I stumbled upon. I've always felt a strong desire to help others and could easily empathise with them. Then, 35 years ago, my second child was born with heart complications and, as we later discovered, several other challenges. She's doing wonderfully now, though!

I made a promise to myself to do everything within my power to prevent anyone from experiencing the despair my husband and I endured. With an almost three-year-old at home, the demands of my baby's needs made it challenging to attend to her as well, leading me to fear that my love for her had changed. However, I realised that this fear was unfounded; my love for her remained as strong as ever.

​​

After years of searching for answers, we discovered a doctor researching the genetic condition affecting our baby. We realised he wasn't there to assist us, but that we could assist him. That aligned perfectly with my desire to help and support others facing similar challenges. In time, he suggested we establish a support group in collaboration with another couple from the opposite end of the country.

The group grew stronger and we essentially became 'experts' on the condition. It seems crazy, right? Everyone I talked to mentioned they gained more from our conversations than from any doctor they had consulted. I could empathise with them easily because their issues were either identical or very similar to mine. I discovered a talent for devising solutions I hadn't even thought of before, simply by treating each parent as unique. I volunteered to lead the support group for 13 years until personal family matters arose, and my ageing parents fell ill.

​

​During the onset of the 2008 recession, I was job hunting and it was recommended that I apply for a position with the DWP (Department for Work and Pensions, UK) as a Personal Advisor, which was later renamed Work Coach. I discovered my calling and thoroughly enjoyed seeing results as individuals learned to help themselves and regain control of their lives. Often, we need to resolve personal issues before we can focus on job applications. Since that time, I have dedicated myself to assisting others in finding the life they aspire to and pursuing their dreams. After all, we all have dreams, don't we?

​

What would happen if you haven’t worked with anyone in my line of work?

​The core principles of life coaching remain consistent. Following our conversation, I can determine if we are well-suited to collaborate. For example, if an individual is experiencing depression, I would likely recommend they consult their doctor for support, as medication may be necessary. However, if life circumstances are contributing to the depression, we might work together to improve your mindset and uncover your inherent brilliance. Indeed, we all possess it!​

​

What gives you the edge over other life coaches?

​Having faced numerous personal challenges, including a sick child requiring frequent hospital visits and surgeries, divorce, breast cancer, and the loss of parents to cancer and dementia, I believe I have developed a resilience and a calm, caring demeanour that allows clients to feel secure and comfortable in opening up to me. I possess a natural gift for understanding what motivates people and the skill to guide them in helping themselves.​

​

What kind of people do you work with best and what would you expect from me?

​The 12-week 'Mastering Order and Organisation Program™' is ideal for individuals seeking to enhance their lives and willing to commit to self-improvement by completing worksheets and maintaining an open mind. Participants are expected to attend sessions consistently and complete any assigned tasks between sessions—rest assured, the workload will not be overwhelming. All details will be covered during the initial acquaintance call, and necessary resources will be provided prior to the sessions.

​

Who would your programmes NOT work for?

This programme is unsuitable for individuals who are not ready to make life changes but continue to lament their issues. Neither will it benefit those who persistently doubt the intentions of those offering help, or habitually make excuses for their absence or incomplete tasks. If this describes you, I respectfully advise against enrolling in my programmes. It's likely we won't collaborate effectively, and I would regret taking your time or money for something you're convinced will not succeed. I trust you find this reasonable. Certainly, there are individuals who may require assistance from a different agency, and I would guide them on the appropriate entity to contact next.

​

What exactly does Discover Your Inner Brilliance help with?

I can assist with rebalancing your work and career aspirations, particularly after overcoming breast cancer or any other life trauma that has hindered your progress. The program addresses these areas of your life and beyond, aiming to help you pursue or maintain the path toward your ideal life and achieve your objectives. In our introductory call, we'll delve deeper into your circumstances to determine if and how I can support you in improving your self-perception and achieving a work/life balance that aligns with your values.

​

Does it really work? I’ve never worked with a Life Coach before.

 

​Indeed, it is effective! It entails learning more about yourself and pinpointing what is necessary to attain your life ambitions. It's comparable to a heart-to-heart with a friend over coffee, exchanging feelings, and understanding the world together. As long as you are wiling to discuss personal matters, it will prove advantageous - it will go no further. The program aims to be encouraging and comforting, providing a chance for everyone to ask questions, divulge challenges or triumphs, and cultivate a community of women who sympathise with each other's life journeys.

​

What results can I expect? 

 

You can anticipate gaining clarity and possibly discovering more about yourself and the root causes of your challenges. It won't be instantaneous, as it took a considerable time to reach your current state. In terms of work and career, I will guide you in identifying your transferable skills, which could help you secure your ideal job or a promotion. Perhaps you might even contemplate a new career path. It's actually quite thrilling!

​

I will guide you in learning to love and care for your body, ensuring your body image aligns with your desires. This will be achieved by examining diet, clothing, and a series of worksheets. You'll find that life doesn't weigh you down as much, and feelings of being overwhelmed will diminish.

Small adjustments can significantly impact your well-being. Learning to reduce expenses can alleviate financial stress and contribute to improved sleep quality. It's common to wake up with countless scenarios playing in your mind. By fostering a decluttered and tranquil environment, you can achieve peace and enjoy restful sleep.

​

Can I see some testimonials from your former clients to see what they thought about working with you?

 

Yes, you can! Please check out the testimonials page on this website.

​

How quickly can I expect results?

As previously mentioned, results won't materialise instantly – though you may experience sudden insights. If your work/life balance feels like a jumbled heap of wires, you'll gradually learn to sort it out and organize each aspect accordingly. Regular attendance at sessions and completion of assignments will accelerate this process.

​

Will it be worth my while paying for one of your programmes?

Indeed, it will! You might not observe an immediate shift after the first session, but you will gradually begin to 'untangle that knotted cable' and discover solutions. The process may take longer for some, yet for those who are dedicated and ready to dive in completely, changes could become apparent sooner.

​

Will we have sessions online?

 

All sessions will take place online. However, in the future, it would be wonderful to meet in person if you are located nearby. Most Q&A sessions will occur on Zoom, but we can also communicate through Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp. The course curriculum will be made available to you weekly and will be the topic of discussion during our regular Q&A sessions.

​

What does the programme entail and how long does it last?

The 'Mastering Order and Organisation Program™' is a communal initiative where clients can exchange thoughts and ideas, finding solace in the shared experience. The program spans 12 weeks, yet participants are welcome to remain in our private group indefinitely.

​​

Do you have a payment plan?

While purchasing the entire program is more cost-effective, monthly payment options are available to facilitate easier budgeting.

​

Do you accept credit cards?

I prefer payment directly into my bank account; however, please let me know if this poses an issue for you.

​

Would it be possible to sample your work at low cost first of all, to see whether it’s definitely for me?

Certainly! I would be glad to assist with that. It's a great opportunity for us to become better acquainted. After all, we will be doing this during our complimentary introductory call.

​

How do I join up?

 

During our introductory call, we can sign you up if you believe the course is suitable for you and I think we're a good match.

​​

I think I'd prefer one-to-one sessions. Do you have plans to take this into consideration?

​

Many individuals favour one-to-one conversations for their intimacy and the feeling of gaining more from the session. However, while I believe that the 'Mastering Order and Organization Program™' is superior due to its community spirit and the exchange of ideas and tips, should you desire a personalised one-to-one program, it would be available at a premium. We can discuss this during our introductory call.​

​​

I’m really busy and feeling overwhelmed. How would I fit in this programme?

Perhaps being overly busy and feeling swamped is contributing to the issue. If there was an assurance of improvement, do you believe you could allocate an hour weekly to participate in an online Q & A session? If you desire the assistance, then finding a way to accommodate it into your schedule is likely within reach.

​

I’ve read all your FAQs but have a further couple of questions. Can we talk?

 

I’d love to have a chat with you. Let’s set something up! You can email me at talk2julie.spink@gmail.com or send me a message via  +44 7988 194859.  You can also book a call by clicking here.
