Coaching Testimonials

I just wanted to say a HUGE HUGE HUGE thank you Mags Bell for last weeks session. I have not felt this settled and content in such long time… I’ve been waking up smiling everyday, I now meet my own eyes when I look in the mirror, and I feel genuinely proud of myself for where I am in my life. Obviously I have been carrying a huge amount of guilt that I wasn’t aware of- and I only got through 4 people on my huge list of people to “3 Keys”!!!

This journey has been absolutely beautiful. I honestly feel like a shining diamond right now. You are bang on the mark with the name of this course Mags Bell! And I know I have the tools now to repeat these exercises regularly and keep on shining.

And the Universe has rewarded me for the brutal honesty I’ve applied to each task with something I couln’t ever imagine receiving. It aligns exactly with my values, purpose and vision. I am still in a state of shock, but best of all, I truly believe I actually deserve this reward and I do not feel GUILTY one little bit.

Mags Bell you have changed my life forever and I am so, so grateful

Mags has a natural ability and passion for Coaching, backed by formal skills and qualifications. I have seen her coach a broad range of people and groups from Junior Sales People to Senior Management; all with equal success.

She has been an inspiration to many people who have used her philosophy and coaching techniques to guide them through difficult stages of their professional and personal lives

When I was made redundant, I was warned by a number of recruitment agents that the biggest impact, in their experience, is on an individual’s self-confidence. I was no exception!

Mags has a unique ability to build confidence.

Through gentle probing she established very quickly what I had achieved in my role, what I had contributed to the business, where my strengths lay and what motivated me.

By discussing the facts objectively she convinced me of what I had to offer, placing before me my own hard evidence which proved to be invaluable in setting me on the road to further employment.

I secured a job within 2 months, not just any job but a post that extended my career and I have had the confidence and ability to reach the finals in the Pharmaceutical Industry awards 2006.

Mags you are a unique, gifted lady – Many thanks!

Mags Bell is a master of her craft, but without attaching any ego to it, so that’s it’s always about the client.

Mags has incredible intuition, knowing when to challenge you, and when to pull back. She helped guide me through a very challenging time in my life when I was at a crossroads.

She helped me reassess my values, which was the big eye-opener for me, from which everything else followed.

Mags is warm, funny, clever, caring, and always intent on you getting the most out of coaching.

I would recommend her to anyone looking for coaching and wanting to get to the heart of the matter then take action!

I have used Mags Bell as a coach for both personal and business growth and cannot recommend her highly enough.

Mags worked with me to eliminate some self limiting beliefs and enable me to move past the things holding me back.

Mags’ ability to cut to the chase and not get caught up in the “story” means that you do not waste valuable time looking at the past, but cut through the self talk to be able to move into the future.

If you are looking for a fluffy coach who will sympathise endlessly with the hows and whys, then Mags Bell is not for you.

Straight talking, direct and asking the questions that some are afraid to ask, Mags is able to quickly and effectively get you pointing in the right direction.

She is quick witted, intuitive and has a great sense of humour – a great combination for someone you will trust with your innermost hopes and dreams.

Hi Mags, I’ve had a reflective day, this is how I feel:

Mags asked me what I wanted. I said I wanted to be ‘happy in my job’. It actually went deeper than that. I wanted to be ‘happy’. Without positive self belief there is no inner peace just turmoil and thus it affects everything we do. Relationships are negative and work performance poor. Life becomes robotic and an act.

At the age of 42 that’s where I was. Mags tirelessly worked with me. I learned that fear and trust cannot co exist. I feared what I didn’t trust and the reason I didn’t trust it was because I didn’t understand it.

Communication is the key to understanding and understanding yourself is the key to all of that. I learned that mistakes are not failings they are developmental and are to be forgiven and progressed from.

Dr David Schreiber, author of ‘Healing without Freud or Prozac’ said as a boy he could paddle and fish in the River Sien but as he got older the river became polluted by substances and was unsafe. As he stood on its bank many years later holding the hand of his own little boy he saw that it had purified, the fish had come back and it was once again safe to paddle in. He related that to life. If The River Sien could purify itself then so can we as humans.

That’s what Mags has helped me to do and it’s difficult to find the words that capture the experience.

It’s been an exciting and exhilarating journey. It has completely turned my whole life around.

Last Xmas as I placed the star on top of my Xmas tree I named it Mags Bell, this year at the age of 44 the most appropriate honour I can bestow upon Mags is to call it Brenda.

Thank you Mags for without your coaching, patience and time I may never have shone.

I have been received coaching and mentoring from Mags for just over 12 months now. I was a new Regional Business Manager coming into the Pharmaceutical Industry and really needed a lot of help and support.

I can honestly say Mags was one of the first people to make me realise I already had all the ability to become the successful RBM I want to be, I just need a little guidance along the way.

Mags is always there with help and advice for me when ever I need it. One of the best things I find, is she never gives me the answer, she guides and talks me through problems or issues I may be having but lets me find the route to take on my own.

I have found this works really well being coached through a scenario by Mags and then deciding on a direction to take, it gives me real confidence to have almost rehearsed the situation

It’s been a real pleasure to work with her and I wish her every success in the future and hope to continue to draw on her skills for my career moving forward.

I suppose the most important thing about the coaching style of Mags Bell is her ability to make you think for yourself, analysing your weaknesses and strengths, and in turn allowing the individual to develop themselves through her key questioning on your behaviours.

Through doing this I have found that I learn more about myself and for me going forward I benefit from everything I do, both personally and professionally.

Mags Bell never criticises, she sees opportunity in everything she does and everything the team does, collectively and individually.

It is this ability that has given me the best foundation for personal growth as I understand her clearly and this makes adapting my style a natural, not forced process.
