Success stories
“I was very skeptical, believing that this oldish woman could not be taught new tricks to deal with recurrent, long-term problems. However, I was quickly proved wrong. Kook’s kind, calm insightfulness led to me making some major decisions that have definitely and immeasurably improved my life.
I would recommend her services without hesitation.”
— SHARON K | AUTHOR, SCREENWRITER, & ENGLISH EDUCATOR
“I’ve never had coaching before, so I had no expectations at the beginning but it was really nice to see how we naturally arrived at hurdles that I never would have realised were there. For this, it was great to focus on these hurdles, big or small, and think about how to move things forward.
This was my favourite part about the coaching; removing the fog and getting clarity on things that were slowing me down in life.”
— RYAN B | SENIOR NETWORK ENGINEER
“Career mentoring has helped me in more ways than I ever could have imagined, not only did I gain clarity on my next step in my career, my confidence increased significantly. Before Kooks' intervention, I would make excuses for why I shouldn't go for what I wanted, and had very little confidence in my abilities.
For the first time in a long time, I don't feel like an 'imposter'.”
