On Reconciliation and Referrals
First off, let me confess that I didn’t do so well with the emailing. I started off well and answered last night’s mails this morning but then forgot my resolution and found myself replying to mails throughout the afternoon. Until I remembered and stopped myself. Tomorrow is another day….
I had a lovely morning before I got to the mails. I was asked to participate in a radio discussion on reconciliation as today was the 11th anniversary of the September 11 attacks in America. We had a really soulful and quite inspiring and uplifting conversation that soon turned to compassion, empathy and forgiveness – all topics that make frequent appearances in my coaching room.
After the radio show I spent some time emailing (of course) and wrote a proposal for a training programme for my consulting work. And then it was back to my coaching room to see the afternoon’s clients. I had another three this afternoon and felt like I had put in a good day’s work by the time I closed off my day.
One of the accomplishments I feel most pleased with today was my decision (with the client) to refer a client on to another coach because my fees (as a Master Coach) are too high for her. I have long struggled to feel comfortable with charging people who cannot afford my rate and have, since I started coaching, given subsidized rates to lots of clients.
A large motivating factor for my training other coaches to use my materials was so that I could refer clients on to less experienced (but equally competent) coaches who can offer them the same coaching for lower fees. I am so pleased that I am now able to do that – with 4 certified Adult Child Coaches (so far – 2 in training still and more to start training soon, from all over the world) I can happily send clients to people I trust to serve them well, without compromising my own commitment to myself or undervaluing my experience, skills and expertise.
I am ending my day feeling very satisfied.

- “I have seen various psychologists and therapists but none of them have the skill of Judy in being able to relate to me and the way I think about things.”
- “Judy, you have given me the tools to change and move my life in directions I never knew possible. I am truly grateful for your help.”
- “Perception is everything and working with Judy has helped me realise my true potential by changing my outlook of life into more positive ones. I enjoy walking out of a life coaching session feeling like I am in control again, less stressed and more energetic.”
- “Judy is my go-to person when I find myself uncertain about how to interpret the signposts in my life. Her insights and ability to draw out what lies deepest inside have helped provide clarity and integrity at pivotal life moments over many years.”
- “I’d recommend Judy to anyone who’s feeling stuck, weary, confused, discouraged, uncertain, in need of support – basically, I’d recommend her to any carbon-based life form that breathes oxygen and would like to have a wonderful life.”
