Rosemary Ganley, a writer for the Examiner, shared this statement after a 15 minute Sprint coaching session with me:
“When a person of depth and insight listens attentively to one's deep yearnings and uncertainties and then offers gentle feedback, fifteen minutes can do as much good as months of counselling!”
From the Retreat, Serenity Courage and Wisdom, The Sound of Self-Compassion,
Ann Hobday had these reflections
"I have referred to my notes and breathed, hugged myself and think about what makes me happy and fulfilled, I so loved this retreat. I’m a slow learner and needed this reminder to be true to myself. Pam, “you did good!” Seriously, this shifted my thinking during this pandemic. Thank you. I enjoyed laughing at each other and ourselves doing and sharing paradoxical thinking and the exercises Leah shared were very helpful and something I never knew. Ann Hobday-Potter 2020
Anne D. shared:
"This retreat came at a needed time. Thank you Pam I have become more aware of self compassion.
The most valuable thing I learned about self compassion and my needs during this retreat is that I do not show myself any self compassion. I need to give myself time to do this no matter what is going on in my life. I also noted that I do not know at times what I need and I hope with self compassion I will become more aware of my needs and listen to myself to become more aware of what is happening inside of me." Anne D. Peterborough
Tanya Geisler, Leadership Coach and Imposter Complex Expert expressed this about her experience:
"I think this was a brilliant retreat...especially given how frayed people are in this strange time. The timing was perfection for me. Self-compassion is so much simpler than I thought to access. Not EASY, mind you, but simpler.
It's not hard to make it a priority. But it is vital."
