Having Anissa as a personal life coach for the last 11 weeks (we are nearly done!) has been a game changer for me. As a mom who has to juggle two primary school children, an academic post as a researcher and a PhD has its challenges.
The main things that come to mind are time management and attaining continued focus. The biggest change I experienced with working with Anissa was a structured one-hour session every week, which kept me pursuing my goals in bite-sized chunks.
I often started our sessions feeling overwhelmed and despondent and always finished them feeling empowered, enabled and ready for the next week. Anissa helped me to clearly define what is really important to me and then to set about working out what I needed to achieve. We broke those expectations down into weekly goals and then pursued them relentlessly. Without her there, helping me keep a check on things, making sure I was moving forward, I know I could not have achieved a tenth of what we have together.
The best part of working with her is that she became my partner in understanding what it is I have to deal with and making it all seem manageable. When I felt I hadn’t achieved anything, she pointed out our successes to date, and when I did lag, she reminded me that I hadn’t attended to a specific task with enough perseverance.
Sometimes I was very busy and thought – can I really afford this hour today? But looking back, I know that that one hour has saved me days’ worth of aimless solitary struggle. Having someone understand your goals and be dedicated to helping you see them through, step by step, has been invaluable.
For any independent woman with drive and lots to work towards, this is a life strategy which will help you go from merely dreaming to actually achieving in just a few weeks.

I had the opportunity of going through a coaching process with Anissa. I am amazed at how she was able to work with me and guide me through many aspects in my life. We touched on work, social and household related topics. No topic was off limits.
Each session encompassed a new topic and bought about many revelations. I learned to trust myself, communicate more efficiently, and I gained a friend in the process. This coaching has taught me many valuable life solutions and I will carry the solutions and advice with me for the rest of my life.
Thank you Anissa for making me believe, and trust in myself again, and for teaching me new life strategies. I am now able to tackle anything that comes my way.
