Positive, Practical and Achievement Focused Coaching

Testimonials

“Anky assisted me to discover what is important to me and what outcomes in life I was looking for. Through her professional and caring nature she had me achieving my goals faster and more effortlessly than I would have ever achieved by myself. Anky also helped improve my levels of confidence, self esteem and passion for life by giving me a far more focused approach to it.

My life was so hectic and I was lost in a world of chaos without being able to turn it all around. Anky was great in the way she encouraged, advised and assisted me to turn around and get where I wanted to go. She had great tools and techniques in assisting me to accomplish the outcomes we had identified and focus on getting there.

Anky has great communication techniques and always challenges me in a way that I can think about new ways to create the transformation I am seeking. She is a great listener and is a very caring and compassionate person.

Anky has great patience and passion for life coaching and shows she really cares that I create the life of my dreams and be the best that I can. Anky helped me achieve the happy and fulfilled person I am today.

I would recommend Anky for anyone as she is a powerful communicator and very gifted in touching the lives of people and getting them to achieve their dreams.”

“To Anky,

Thank you for all the knowledge, skills and lessons you have taught me.

I found your teachings to be very practical and simple which I’ve been able to blend into my busy life with impressive results. Before meeting you I felt a loss of direction and was putting a lot of unnecessary pressure upon myself in pursuing my desires with very little results.

It’s hard to believe that in the short amount of time of seeing you, I have a strong sense of direction that fills me with joy each step I take. I can now look forward to experiencing an exciting and fulfilling life. 

Thankyou Anky.”

“To whom it may concern

Anky came along at a very important time in my life.  When I first met Anky I didn’t realise how much I needed someone like her.  I was experiencing problems with my marriage and my worklife and it seemed to all fall apart extremely fast. 

My life spiralled out of control and I was barely able to cope.  Anky was far more than a support base.  She actually allowed me to continue when I thought it was all too much and hard. 

Anky was able to show me how to focus and to start thinking with my brain and not so much with my heart or emotions.  She enabled me to gain control of my life again and to piece my life back together in a sequence.  Never once did she judge me or force me to be untrue to my beliefs but acted as a guiding hand to concentrate and focus me.  It was like she could see into my soul and just helped guide me until clarity returned.

I owe a lot to her and would recommend that if you need help in life or a good friend to run things by she would be a fantastic person to turn to in your hour of need.

Kind regards”

“To whom it may concern

I met Anky at a time in my life where I was going through some major life changes and challenges.  On the outside, I appeared positive, confident and up-beat.  On the inside however, I was suffering from severe depression, lack of motivation and very low self esteem.

I was ready to begin my transformation and take control of my life when, by pure chance (maybe not?), I met Anky.

Anky’s unwavering support and positive encouragement combined with her brilliant insight and useful tools gave me the confidence to make positive changes in my life in a surprisingly short period of time.  With her help and guidance, I have changed my life around.  The practical tools she has given me will stay with me for life, ensuring that my journey is filled with success and happiness.  I have finally found peace within myself.

Warmest regards”

“I knew I had some issues, but just couldn’t put everything into perspective.  Speaking to Anky on a regular basis helped me with this.  We started on the most important issues and worked from there.

I found Anky to be a very positive, fun person to interact with and she was easy to talk things out with.  I enjoyed the way she used the Law of Attraction as part of the coaching, it just all seemed to flow together nicely. 

I found this to be a positive form of counselling.”

Finding Anky was a blessing on so many levels.  A life saver.  I was excited and so grateful to have found her, I have learnt so much about myself.  I have a greater appreciation of myself, my surroundings and my path in life is so much clearer and most importantly I am happier.

One hour sessions are just not long enough.  I found Anky to be understanding, helpful, interesting, full of positive energy and would recommend her to anyone who wants to make a difference in their life.

Thank you Anky for so many great lessons, you’re a great teacher, confidante, kind, and an all round great person (lots of laughs and breakthroughs – I could go on). 

After each session I always feel like I leave my old self behind.  And finding my spiritual side?… wow who would have thought.

You are amazing.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Warmest regards”

"I have been fortunate enough, over the last few months, to have had the opportunity to participate in a coaching programme delivered by Anky.  Although rather skeptical at first I welcomed the opportunity to improve my communication skills so I was willing to give the coaching sessions a chance and see what would transpire.

I initially thought "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" however through her unique coaching techniques Anky has proven me wrong on a number of issues.

As a result of Anky's coaching techniques I am now more confident, I am able to engage more easily in open conversation, not only work related but on a personal basis.  I ask questions a lot more during discussions, don't take things personally as much as I used to; I am now better equipped to find resolutions to obstacles and have a more positive perspective on a number of issues.  My communication skills have improved significantly and I now have the ability to end a constructive discussion on a positive note.

In addition to one on one coaching sessions, I have been fortunate enough to participate in a number of group coaching sessions with fellow team members.

Anky brought out the best in all of the team, and amazed us all with her special ability to have even the most sceptical, the most introverted and the most private members of the team open up and reveal their innermost concerns and attributes.  In a group where 13 people from distinctly varied backgrounds and personalities come together this is no easy task.

I have found over the years that a number of change management and business coaching programmes may not always be effective, depending on the person delivering the sessions.  Most tend to be corporate based and often appear to be impersonal and have a "big brother" overture.  Anky ensured that her coaching sessions were always interesting and invigorating and did not consist of just one powerpoint slide after another, ensuring that everyone was engaged in meaningful activities throughout the session.

Through her basic coaching techniques Anky has given me a better insight to myself and taught me how to feel more confident.  I now have a more pro-active approach when dealing with confronting situations, unexpected obstacles, or just simple day to day business issues.

I cannot recommend Anky's coaching services too highly."

"Just 12 months ago I went through some personal and professional hardships. I was not enjoying my career, was struggling with my relationships with several family members and was involved in a destructive relationship with someone who was making me very unhappy.

I went to see Anky to assist me in my professional growth and to assist me with my self confidence and self worth. I had no boundaries with my family or with men, had money problems and was very unhappy on a daily basis with my existance, constantly looking for ways to get happy.

After working with Anky for just 6 months, I am now working in what is very close to my dream job, am enjoying a fantastic relationship with my sisters, am handling my money alot better and experiencing abundance and more importantly I am having less eronious thoughts and emotional issues.

Working with Anky really has changed my life. She was able to help to assist me to think more positively, to understand and appreciate who I am and showed me how I can create my own reality. Anky recommends excellent books and conducts her coaching in a relaxed and comforting environment.

I would recommend to anyone who is seeking a 'better life' to see Anky Balfoort, my life has gone from strength to strength since my coaching sessions."
