I decided to book coaching sessions with Jane at Clearview because I was unsure what direction to go, with my career. I was demotivated with my last job and had opted to take redundancy from the job and start afresh. It was tough with the current climate. I explored many options with Jane and worked through what I wanted from my next job. Jane presented a role that I had never really considered within my industry. I had a good knowledge of the role and decided to start applying for jobs in this area.

Jane coached me with my interviewing skills and updating my CV. I persevered and eventually got an interview, then a second interview and then a job offer. Clearview Coaching helped me refocus on my career, and decide what I wanted from my next job, then match that up with possible roles. I probably would never have considered this role myself. My new job ticks all the boxes, is with an excellent company and presents many opportunities for future progression.

If you are in a similar situation then maybe Clearview Coaching is what you need. You are investing in yourself, which is probably the only worthwhile investment in today's climate. It only takes one yes to get that dream job. I would highly recommend Jane from Clearview Coaching.

Having recently been made redundant and dealing with the shock and the “what the hell am I going to do now” tapes in my head I decided to invest in some career coaching sessions with Jane Downes of Clearview Coaching Group.

To say this was a worthwhile investment is putting it mildly. Not only did Jane manage to work on my self esteem but she managed to brainstorm with me to hatch a new career plan going forward based now on what I want and need. She also helped with the technicals of going for a new job like cv re-design and interview coaching. Thanks to a great coaching relationship together I have managed to secure an ideal role in this difficult market and one in which I ironically believe I will be much happier in.

I returned to Ireland to an economy in free fall having lived in Europe for 10 years.

This move was a personal one for me and about a need to get back to my roots and be near my family and friends. Career is something which has always been very important to me so it was important I managed to get this right at this crossroads.

Jane worked with me to drill down and come up with ideas in which I could utilize my transferable skills and experience to date and informed me on the market in Ireland and who was out there who may have an interest in my background. Our weekly sessions gave me just the focus and confidence I needed to find the role I now wanted.

Janes interview coaching session was powerful and I gained so much from it.

I am now glad to say that I am at final interview for 2 positions in companies which were on my wish list. Thanks to Jane’s support, enthusiasm and commitment to our process together I feel I am now right on track.

Having experienced working for an operation for 5 years which was totally against my values and dented my self esteem and feelings of capability I decided to re assess and attend Jane Downes of Clearview Coaching Group for Career Coaching.

Our process although hard work and required a lot of commitment gave me just what I wanted – clarity about what I now needed from my career going forward and my priorities. It also allowed me to see that I needed to work for a company in which I believed in and trusted and ultimately had an interest in their service.

Armed with this clarity I am now ready to face the market confident about what I have to offer, clear about the positives of my last role while now able to put to the side the negative experiences of it too.

Thank you Jane! Keep up the good work!

Louise Public Sector Manager

Being a business owner in times like this is uncertain and sometimes you can feel out of your comfort zone. I wanted to work with someone who has the business knowledge and coaching ability to allow me to look at my business from the outside in so I could put things in perspective and really get clear about what I needed to do going forward to ensure my business success. Some tough decisions were made and we had some challenging moments together but this certainly was a great investment in my time and money. I feel ready to face these difficult economic times. Thanks Jane.

Just to let you know that I got the job and so far I'm really enjoying it!!. I would like to thank you so much for your help. I would never have got the job without the power coaching session we did as there was a huge amount of competition. I would be more than happy to recommend your coaching services to anyone.

“Facing into a new challenging role together with increasing pressure on my work life balance I felt the need to do something about it before it got out of control. I came across the Clearview Coaching website and was very impressed with Jane’s approach. I immediately booked in for the Life / Executive coaching sessions and am delighted I did. It was a great opportunity to get away from it all and think clearly through a head full of problems and issues with Jane who not only challenged one to face the music on the important tough issues but also to think laterally about solutions. Thanks to Jane the sessions definitely helped me to address the more difficult issues and take greater control of my work life balance again.”

In using the services provided by Clearview Coaching Group I achieved my goal of breaking into the highly competitive industry I was interested in moving to. As my background was quite different to the one which I was moving to, I found that the coaching and constructive feedback I recieved from Jane helped me to identify the important transferable skills to focus on and helped close the gap between doing a "good interview" and getting 2 job offers!

I would recommend Clearview Coaching Group to anyone considering a move to a new career and/or if you need some help polishing up your interview technique.

Attending Jane Downes of Clearview Coaching Group motivated me to move out of my comfort zone & try something different. The sessions made me focus not just on my professional goals but also on my personal goals too. Before I started the sessions, whenever I read the jobs section in the newspaper I felt that I couldn’t do some of the jobs because I felt I wasn’t qualified to do X, Y or Z. After the sessions I looked at the jobs section differently & took a more confident approach to analysing jobs. I started to remove the barriers that were clouding my judgement. After the sessions, I felt everything fell into place & I could see a clear professional path in front of me.I have now landed the perfect job thanks to Jane's help and professionalism.

I was at an all time low in my career when I went to Jane. She instilled me with the confidence and skills I needed to make a complete career change and helped me to realise that it's never too late to reassess and change the direction of your life. Not only did this kick start me into action but gave me the support network I needed to realise and achieve my goals. The experience has literally changed my overall perspective towards my career and where it can go.

I had reached a crossroads in my professional life where I needed to make some big decisions about my next move. I have been in professional sport for 14 years and within the next two years I am due to retire. Spending hours worrying about the future, I had plenty of ideas but needed clarity and direction.

I contacted Jane Downes in Clearview Coaching Group and I now can confidently look to the future with excitement and confidence. The initial four week course began with a thorough look at my strengths and weaknesses.The importance of me looking at my 'inner self was' certainly something I had not examined before and it was very revealing. By the end of the process all the worries, apprehension and doubt have gone and I now know where I am going.Thank you Jane for opening my eyes to an exciting future.

I went to Jane at Clearview Coaching Group for Life Coaching. I felt I needed to re energise and clarify my direction in life. Jane encouraged me to "jump start" into action which is what I needed to do. It has made a huge difference to me in terms of my ability to gain clarity in my life and adopt strategies to handle situations and be clear as to what my boundaries and tolerations are along with becoming aware about what my self limiting beliefs where and how these were holding me back in my attitude to life. Jane is a natural guide and makes the coaching process an enjoyable yet highly thought provoking experience.

For me you performed nothing short of a small miracle because believe me, I was a difficult one !!! I needed to make some important career choices and get out of the rut I was in. My job was boring me and I felt I was not achieving what I wanted from my career and while working with Jane I learnt that this was impacting on my life outside of my career too. Jane & I worked on intensive career coaching along interview coaching while also working on increasing my self confidence to move forward allowing me to be crystal clear about my strengths along with the benefits of moving out of my comfort zone. I am now in an interesting new job, which also pays more and am much happier in all areas of my life and am back to my “powerful self”. My wife even tells me the “glazed look has gone from my eyes” . I am in a much better place. What a worthwhile investment! Thank You!

'Working with Jane encouraged me to do things that I always knew I should have done- Janes favourite phrase being “ If you keep doing what you’ve always done you will keep getting what you’ve always gotten.” Janes coaching gave me a highly supportive framework to improve my focus and get clear about my goals and set a purpose for myself in life. It certainly has jumpstarted me into to living my life to the full. I am so much happier and clearer’ Thank You!.

Financial Controller Dublin

--------------------------------------------

As a business owner and a mother of two, I had reached a real crossroads in both my professional and personal life. Jane made the coaching sessions enjoyable and absolute common sense. Jane gave me the tools to work with and I can now see how a simple way of improving my life, I know I can make it happen. I am definitely more proactive, and I am also able to maintain a far more positive outlook.

My time management played a huge role in the way I felt – I just felt pressurised and stressed all the time – setting unrealistic deadlines – trying to please everybody! I have stopped being so hard on myself. The balance of work and family is getting much easier as I can now cope with unexpected challenges put up to me. Everything is back in perspective now, things seem to be starting to work out for me, I am beginning to enjoy my life again, and I am planning for the future.

Jane made me see the positive side of things – flush out those negative thoughts and go for my goal (s) . I realise now that many of the things that stress me out are in my head. THANK YOU!
