“After completing my personal assessment and debriefing with Peggy, I was absolutely taken aback by how thought- provoking it actually was. I found that I had suddenly opened my eyes and saw the real me. The accuracy of the assessment was quite scary, and the one on one coaching with Peggy was exactly the enlightenment that I needed. Peggy has a wonderful calming approach and has helped me to understand myself so much better. The coaching clinic that I attended with Peggy gave a toolkit to draw on in all situations, work and private related. This clinic is so powerful, and is so beneficial when used in all aspects of your life. Peggy has a fantastic “coach approach” which allows people to feel comfortable and express themselves without reservation …Thank You Peggy.”Carol Hargreaves, Customer Service Engineer, TAC PACIFIC PTY LTD
