Not Another Self-help Book For Women …

I pressed the snooze button on my clock-radio and gathered the bedclothes up to my chin. The comfort of my bed was made appealing by

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.

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.

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.
