Testimonials

Like so many practitioners in the caring profession I sometimes find it difficult to step back and take a look at the bigger picture in relation to my own business.

Sue has not only helped me to do this, but she has done so in a skilled, attentive, professional and empowering way. She guided me, allowing me to fight my way through the jumble of my own thoughts until I came to a bright and sunny clearing. In short, Sue has helped me to see the blindingly obvious!

Sue has also delivered a presentation skills and confidence workshop for the WiRE Lincoln Network, which was extremely well received by the members who gave lots of very positive feedback on the benefits they gained from the experience. Sue is inspirational and practical. She helps people find trheir own self belief and then gives them the practical means to achieve their goals.

I would highly recommend Sue to anyone in need of coaching. Whether it’s for a individual or group, Sue Ritchie and You Time Coaching can deliver what’s required.

Sue I will always be grateful for your kindness and understanding during my time of anxiety and panic attacks.  They have not disappeared, as that will take time, but the amazing difference is how I feel; I feel confident that it will not always be this way and that I have the ability to overcome it.  The work we did on mindfulness was fantastic, learning to live in the present moment to calm and focus on what is really happening in the here and now (the only moment that exists).  I still read the workbook we did together on a regular basis and I enjoy dipping in and out of it as a reminder of mindfulness.

You have always been so kind, thoughtful, gentle in any advice or thoughts and a wonderful source of inspiration and different ways of approaching situations.

Thank you so much Sue, I know we will work together in the future.

JH, business owner, Lincoln

I would like to thank Sue so much for all the help and guidance she gave me during the recent course of sessions we had.

It is sometimes difficult when you are on your own running a business with no one to talk things over with or have a natter about the business in general. I was not sure of which way i was going with certain ideas and Sue got out her flip charts and started asking me questions. it made me think and I came up with the answers, they were there all the time and Sue knew how to get them out.

Sue also helped me on a more personal level with some decisions I had to make. Sometimes you just need that extra bit of help.

So both on a business and personal level, I would highly recommend Sue’s services to anyone.

“I had met Sue quite a few times at local networking events, before I realised I needed her help. I was in awe of how well she could overcome the dreaded elevator pitch and how confident she was in a room full of people. How did she do it?

This was what first drew me to start working with Sue, and I soon realised after our first meeting that there was a lot more I needed help with than just having the confidence to express myself!

Sue has helped me to regain the balance in my life, by learning what is important to me, and also to become more confident in all aspects of my life. Sue is an excellent listener, and always asks the questions that you hadn’t thought of. She is a very warm and caring person, which makes it so easy to open up about everything that is affecting you, which really helps to dig deep into the roots of your concerns.

Having my regular meetings with Sue has kept me focussed on what I am trying to achieve, how to take those steps, which weren’t always pleasant, to get there, and how to do it all with more confidence and conviction.

I would highly recommend Sue to anyone that would like to make positive changes to themselves and their life, whatever those changes may be!       Laura, Lincoln”

At the start of this year I felt that it was time to make a few
changes in my personal and professional life. I wanted to refocus,
refresh my perspective and re-energise my priorities.
Over the course of 5 monthly sessions, Sue has helped me do exactly
that.

She’s let me set my own agenda, explore my ideas and attitudes and
encouraged me to clarify my thinking on some the things that matter
most to me. It’s been a fantastic journey, in fantastic company. Sue
is supportive, non-judgemental and extremely flexible in her
approach. I’ve found her coaching style sensitive and very light touch.

With plenty of progress under my belt and lots of new opportunities to
explore, I’m taking a well earned summer break from coaching to give
me a breather from a period of intensive personal development. But I
have no doubt that I will be looking to Sue for her help in the future
and I would not hesitate to recommend her to friends and professional
colleagues.
