"I would highly recommend this service. I don’t often concentrate just on myself and my own feelings so it was great to be able to prioritize myself. The sessions provided reflection but mostly worked on me achieving my future goals. Elaine helped me to see my strengths, she instilled confidence in me. I have returned to work and I was successful in my interview for promotion"

"If you struggle with confidence when you’re in an interview and you don’t know how to act.....are lost when it comes to preparing a cv. Coaching has taught me the skills needed to keep myself motivated and how to prepare a cv for different jobs. How to talk and act in an interview. Elaine showed me different techniques to use in interviews to deliver the best possible answers. I would recommend this course of coaching sessions. Thank you so much"

I went in to the first call with Elaine not being able to see the wood from the trees, when you’re changing your career path it can be very overwhelming to decide where to start and what direction to take next. Elaine made this process really comfortable and provided great reassurance and support throughout. It was also a full coaching experience Elaine helped to evaluate all aspects personally and professionally which really helped to identify where to start and what values were important to me, which really helped with decision making and having the confidence to start my new career path.

“I set out to improve my interview skills and use them to secure a job. Shortly after my coaching session I had an interview, and I was able to secure a role for what I am qualified in. The coaching was very beneficial, and Elaine was very nice and talked me though everything I needed step by step. Get in contact with the providers and organize your first session as you will gain so much help and knowledge from session to session and quickly improve your chances of securing the job you are looking for"

"After the sessions with Lóis Coaching, I aced my interview got a promotion” What did you like best from our coaching sessions “Definitely researching and practicing interviews. Before, I would have did the typical ‘winging it’, but after going through everything with Elaine, I felt more comfortable. Researching possible interview questions, talking out loud with things I had answered. It was top class!!

"After the sessions with Lóis Coaching, I am delighted I have secured the position of a permanent SNA. I found after having my child, my confidence in my abilities was lost. Elaine helped rebuild my confidence and reminded me of my capabilities. She furnished me also with the tools I needed to sit an Interview. After meeting, I found I believed in myself again, and felt confident to sit an interview with comfort and ease. Prior to meeting, I had many failed interviews, as I had no belief in myself. The week after I met with Elaine, I had an Interview for SNA post, and delighted to say I was offered this post. As I found she instilled confidence within me and equipped me with the tools I needed to sell myself and my capabilities.
