‘I hope Jacqui’s book helps you as much as it has helped my friend.‘ My friends and I bought Jacqui Alder's self-coaching journal for a friend going through a significant career transition. I wanted something that could be there for her at the moments we couldn't be, like the middle of the night when you can't get to sleep because of work worries. It has really helped her steer her path along her own definition of success and has helped her change systems and structures, assisting others. I hope Jacqui’s book helps you as much as it has helped my friend

‘This journal is more than a tool – it really enables an evolution of the soul. ‘ I became aware of the journal when Jacqui engaged my business to help her establish business processes for her Clarity Simplicity Success brand. At first, I read it to help me understand her work and decide how to best support her...

I bought the journal to help me focus on what I wanted out of life. It’s helped me become very clear on what is important to me and what isn’t. It’s also made me to realise that whatever I decide is or isn’t important is okay because it’s my life. The fact that I can go back to it over and over whenever I am stuck or something in my life changes has been helpful. It’s like having a guide for my life. I’m a founder of two businesses and would recommend the journal to other women in business who are wanting to grow and scale.

I bought the journal because I’m interested in self coaching for myself and for others. It’s great to see a professionally put together book that takes you through a self-coaching process. It’s helpful to get your thoughts out onto paper and to have a structure which helps organise them. I particularly like that it’s of high quality throughout; in the content, the binding, and the original illustrations. I’d recommend it to others as a self-improvement / self-coaching tool. We all need to learn how to self coach better.

I felt I needed some guidance on how to work towards success in my life. At different times in my life, I’ve not always had a clear sense of direction of what to do next. I purchased the journal because I can work through each section at my own pace, in my own time.

NAOMI REDPATHExecutive Assistant

The journal came just at the right time for me. I was looking for ‘something else’ in my life, but I wasn’t sure what to do, where to start, or whether I should look at all. Perhaps I should just keep doing what I was doing...

This journal is a great tool that has helped me with a roadmap for more than one life challenge I’m currently overcoming.

I bought the journal to assist with sorting my thoughts about what is working well, what is not, and what could I do differently. It’s been helpful to have a space to think and plan which keeps it all together in one place.

NATASHA KORNWEIBELFounder – Organisational Effectiveness Solutions

I was attracted to the beauty and quality of Jacqui’s self-coaching journal. It’s high quality from cover to cover, in how it’s made, and what it contains. I bought it to help me clarify for myself what want.

I bought this self-coaching journal to help me reflect during a time of change, and this has helped me to make a life changing decision. I’d worked with Jacqui before, and knowing that it came with her support was reassuring, if I got stuck she was just an e-mail away.
