Liam Tennant - Inside Mind Client

My CEO recognized that I was grappling with challenges beyond mere workplace performance issues. He believed that engaging in coaching with Kas would assist me in navigating through the difficulties and finding a way toward improvement. His intuition proved correct. 

Throughout 2022, I managed to position myself as one of the consistently high-performing individuals within the company. I cherished my job, dedicating considerable effort to maintaining a position in the top 5 of the sales leaderboards.

This effort resulted in regular invitations to the quarterly "winners' dinner," an event reserved for the top consultants of each quarter, offering an opportunity to indulge in a luxurious dinner to celebrate achievements. Life was fulfilling—I found joy in my work, and my career was progressing according to my planned trajectory. 

In early 2023, challenges in my personal life led to severe depression, significantly impacting my professional success for several months. I veered off course entirely, experiencing a profound setback in my career that took a toll on my mental health. This downturn in my professional trajectory led me to doubt my skills, qualifications, and ability to recover. As the duration of this challenging period extended, my earnings dwindled due to the commission-based structure of my remuneration, exacerbating financial struggles. I found myself assigning blame to others, including my leadership, and harboring negative thoughts about my capabilities. My mindset was skewed, making it difficult for me to regain confidence, trust the process, and believe in my potential success within the company and my profession, despite having eight years of industry experience up to that point. 

The six-month coaching program with Kas played a pivotal role in addressing my struggles. Kas guided me in navigating through these challenges and finding a positive outlook—a metaphorical light at the end of the tunnel. The program equipped me with the tools to organize my thoughts effectively, facilitating my journey toward greatness. While the transformation wasn't immediate, the process involved deconstructing negative thought patterns and redirecting my energy toward constructive avenues. Gradually, I observed improvements, and by the conclusion of the coaching, I had reclaimed a high level of performance. 

Within a month of finishing the coaching, I received a promotion – something that at the beginning I never thought was possible again. As I pen this testimonial five months later, I am celebrating my second promotion within the same year. I've regained my passion for my job, and my belief in myself and my skills is stronger than ever. I am now better equipped mentally to overcome both personal and professional challenges. 

The skills I developed included: 

• Identifying negative thoughts and filtering them to focus on the positives. 

• Learning how to self-motivate and to be freed from relying on others to motivate me. 

• I learned to accept the challenges in my career and see them as steppingstones to positive results rather than setbacks 

What I valued most about the support I received was Kas's genuine professionalism and compassionate nature, which created a comfortable environment for me to open up. Initially, I felt apprehensive about sharing my inner struggles with her. However, after the first few sessions, her kindness and understanding put me at ease, allowing me to freely express my emotions and pain. This breakthrough marked the starting point for our progress together. 

At the beginning of the sessions, I believed that the coaching wouldn’t work. Kas quickly won me over by pointing out that I had not allowed myself to take the time to just reflect on the thoughts I was having. Some of the sessions were completely mind-blowing to me. I would leave them feeling like a big weight had been lifted from my soldiers and ready to seize the day. I quickly began to look forward to my next session.  

I wholeheartedly recommend Kas to anyone navigating challenging times, whether on a personal or professional level. If you've felt like you've lost your way, her coaching is a beacon that can guide you toward prosperity once again. The skills and lessons I gained through her coaching are invaluable and extend beyond my career—they are tools I can carry with me throughout my life. 

For managers or leaders with team members facing difficulties, investing in Kas's coaching is a wise decision. If my CEO hadn't offered me this opportunity, I might have left the company, squandered my potential, and missed out on the incredible opportunities that have since unfolded at Halian.

I am immensely grateful for this transformative experience, and I credit Kas for helping me rediscover my path and achieve success again.

Thank you, Kas!

Client Coaching Story - Liam

Testimonial from Stuart Fry, CEO of Halian - Line Manager to Liam.

When Liam approached me for support, it was clear he was dealing with challenges that extended beyond typical workplace performance issues. Recognizing the potential benefits of coaching with Kas, I suggested he embark on this transformative journey. The outcomes have been truly impressive. 

Before the coaching, Liam, a seasoned professional, had consistently ranked among our top performers, enjoying the perks of success. However, personal challenges in early 2023 triggered a significant shift in his perspective, affecting his career trajectory. 

Enter Kas. Her six-month coaching program became a catalyst for Liam's positive transformation. Kas skillfully guided him through personal struggles, providing tools for self-discovery. Despite initial reservations, the process involved recalibrating thought patterns, redirecting energy, and ultimately restoring Liam to a high level of performance. 

In a short span post-coaching, Liam not only regained his passion for the job but secured two promotions within a year. His newfound skills include filtering negative thoughts, self-motivation, and viewing career challenges as stepping stones to positive outcomes. Liam's appreciation for Kas's genuine professionalism and compassionate nature is evident. Kas created a safe space for him to open up, fostering an environment conducive to progress.  

I wholeheartedly endorse Kas to anyone facing personal or professional challenges. Liam's testimony speaks volumes about the invaluable skills and life lessons gained through Kas's coaching. For managers and leaders, investing in Kas's coaching can make a transformative difference, as demonstrated by Liam's success story at Halian. I am grateful for Kas's impact on Liam's journey and thank her for guiding him to success.
