"The biggest issue I had was procrastination. I'd have lists of things to do that stayed on my pad not just for days, but for weeks."

"Meeting a whole lot of women from different businesses, industries, outlooks and finding so many things that we shared in common has been pretty amazing."

"I'm now feeling positive about the future, and that I really can manifest what I want for the future."

I just felt as though I had someone that I was accountable to. I felt like Saskia was sitting on my shoulder at work, and she gave me the skills immediately to get over the procrastination. From the very first contact I felt empowered, invigorated, almost excited about the work that I'd been doing for 30 odd years.

I felt like, 'how am I going to open up in front of all of these women I don't know'? But that was the thing that actually I found the best. We'd be talking about the same issues, the same thoughts, and it would be like, 'I can't believe I'm hearing this from other women, I thought it was just inside my head.

I decided to join the programme after I had been through a number of transitions in my life. I had made the big move from Canada to New Zealand, I had had my second daughter, and I think with the big move and becoming a mum to two I was feeling lost in the process. Thanks to the programme I learned more about my strengths and my values, and I've been able to embrace this stage of my life, and as well embrace a lot of uncertainty at this time.
