Client Feature

in her own words

Carol Brannon, MS, RD, LD
Duluth, Georgia
Speaker, Author, Nutrition Consultant

"I heard Jean speak on the subject of coaching at the Florida Dietetic Association meeting in July of 2005. As I listened to Jean's presentation, I realized that coaching was something I wanted to pursue on two levels. First, I thought that perhaps I could benefit from coaching myself as I was struggling with indecision about whether to proceed with establishing a private practice. Secondly, I believe that "coaching" clients is the "way to proceed.” Nutrition and diet information is available everywhere you turn. What people need and want is someone to help motivate and guide them to make positive lifestyle changes, changes that begin on the inside.

To make a long story short, I took Jean up on her offer of one free telephone coaching session. That session was the beginning of my taking action - taking baby steps toward establishing my own business. Jean is a very good listener, but an even better encourager. She encouraged me with positive comments, always helping me to see my strengths. Through her guidance I was able to put together a business plan and begin to develop my vision for my future business. She would often remind me, "Begin with the end in mind..." and "call your potential clients to action...” I know that without those 7 coaching sessions (so far) I would not have recently opened the virtual doors of my business. Jean helped me to see myself as an "empowered" woman, mother, wife, entrepreneur - a professional that can confidently provide valuable services that impact lives in a positive way... and not undersell my services, time, or talents. She helped me "put to bed" my self-doubt and proceed on my journey with confidence. During the course of our coaching sessions, I did something that I might not have done without Jean's support and encouragement. I sought out and received a substantial pay increase for one of my contacts before the renewal date of this contract. I would encourage anyone thinking about a career or personal change or anyone dealing with indecision to schedule at least one session with a coach - it may change your life. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain."
