Case Studies

On a cold November day in 2018, I was summoned to the HR department.

I had spiralled out of control.

I was anxious, angry and a total control freak.

I loved a bit of self-sabotage.

I was not a nice person to be around.

My employer was concerned.

They wanted me to get some help.

They introduced me to the wonderfully fabulous Suzie Sharpe.

She was tasked with turning my life around.

I wasn’t going to make it easy for her.

Stubborn old me walked into that cramped HR meeting room point blank refusing to give an inch.

And then something happened.

Suzie listened…

And listened…

And listened.

When I’d finished talking she didn’t get up and walk straight out.

She didn’t tell me I was a freak.

She didn’t tell me I was a horrible person.

She realised that somewhere inside there was a lost little girl who had totally given up on her dreams.

A girl in her twenties resigned to living a life of debilitating anxiety, bad mental health and total unhappiness.

Suzie Sharpe wasn’t going to let that happen.

She told me to imagine, that sitting in the chair at the other end of the room was the woman I wanted to be.

In that chair was the woman that was living her dream life after conquering her anxiety, achieving all her goals and becoming the best possible version of herself.

Every time we met, I would take a step towards that woman and one day I would sit down in that chair and rise as this Super Future version of myself.

I didn’t believe her, not for a second, there was no way this crazy messed up kid could ever become everything she ever wanted to be.

Ever since that day I’ve been taking step after step closer to the chair and the person that I always wanted to be.

I’m not quite there yet, but, it’s now very much within my own reach.

I now know what steps I need to take.

Suzie helped me to find the right path when I didn’t think it was possible, she has encouraged and motivated me and she has stood by my side while I battled my demons.

I’ve just found out that, sadly, Suzie will no longer be working with our company from June. 💔

So, for any companies out there who want to work with a coach who doesn’t just tick boxes, who uncovers the roots of people’s problems and who cares deeply about the people that they work with then Suzie Sharpe is the woman for you!

Your people will thank you for it!

Suzie won’t be getting rid of me that easily though. She has become part of the fabric of my life and I don’t know what I would do without her.

Thank you Suzie! ❤️
