Personal Development Life Coaching Gets Results
No matter the problems you face - or dreams you have - personal development coaching can get you there.
Most personal development coaches focus on a single struggle you're having. But when you grow in one area, the rest of you is still in need of growth. My personal development coach service focuses on self awareness in all areas - giving you the tools you need to meet any part of life head-on.
- Career advancement, life transitions, and finding new direction
- Starting a business or taking the current business to the next level
- Getting unstuck and gaining unstoppable momentum with positive thinking
- Guidance on professional goals such as time management, effective communication, and more
- Restoring balance to personal relationships
- Contending with major life changes and setbacks
You shouldn't have to struggle to figure it all out on your own. Investing in a life coach is investing in yourself, and will positively transform every area of your life. It's time to create the work-life balance, business growth, or career change you've only dreamt about.

What is the Coaching Process?
The coaching process is a tailored journey designed to help you achieve your goals efficiently and effectively. While the core structure remains consistent, the actual coaching experience varies greatly depending on your unique needs and objectives. It is all about your business/career and personal growth.
Here's an overview of what you can expect:
Initial Consultation and Goal Setting
The coaching process begins with an Initial Consultation and Goal Setting. This free, no-obligation session lasts between 30 minutes to 2 hours. During this time, we'll assess your current situation, discuss your aspirations, and establish clear, measurable objectives. We'll determine the right plan for you, including the programme cost, and set your primary goals and priorities.
Strategic Planning and Prioritisation
Next, we move into strategic planning. Together, we'll develop a strategic roadmap to reach your goals. This involves setting both priorities and "posteriorities" - deciding not just what to focus on, but also what to let go. We'll outline specific steps and day-to-day actions, determining what to do and, importantly, what not to do.
Implementation and Ongoing Support
The third phase is Implementation and Ongoing Support. This is where you begin taking action on your plan. We'll have regular check-in sessions to review your progress and address any challenges. I'll provide continuous support, accountability, and expert advice throughout this phase. We'll also celebrate your wins and milestones along the way.
Evaluation and Adjustment
As we progress, we'll engage in regular Evaluation and Adjustment. We'll assess your progress, make necessary adjustments to your strategy, and address any obstacles or setbacks. This ensures you're always on track to reach your objectives.
Gradual Progress and Long-Term Success
This involves step-by-step movement towards achieving your goals, with a focus on sustainable, long-term change rather than quick fixes. You'll experience continuous personal and professional growth, leading to a transformation of your life and the realisation of your full potential.
Remember, this process is flexible and adaptable. As your personal development coach, I'm committed to guiding you through each stage, providing the support and challenge you need to transform your life.
The journey might not always be easy, but with dedication and the right guidance, you'll be amazed at what you can accomplish.
How Are Personal Development Coaches Different From Therapists?
A therapist, life coach, business coach and a personal development coach help you overcome challenges and self doubt, but it's important to know the difference between a development coach and a counselor - and when each fits your life best.
We focus on the present and future
Personal development coaching is all about creating positive change in your life right now and setting goals for the future. Therapists, on the other hand, often focus on past experiences and how they may be affecting your current behaviors and thoughts.
We emphasise action over reflection
In personal development coaching, we believe taking action is key to creating change. While reflection can be helpful at times, our main focus is helping you move forward and achieve your goals.
We provide accountability
A personal development coach will hold you accountable for taking steps toward your goals. This means checking in regularly, setting deadlines, and providing support to help you stay on track. Our communication skills are your ticket to success.
We offer a holistic approach
Personal development coaching takes into account all aspects of a coaching clients life, including career, relationships, health and well-being. We understand that all these areas are interconnected and can affect one another.
Our sessions are tailored to your specific needs
Unlike a therapist who may have a set treatment plan for all clients, life coaches offer personalised sessions based on your individual goals and needs. This ensures that you receive the support and guidance that is most beneficial for you.
You will gain clarity and self-awareness
Through our coaching sessions, you will gain a deeper understanding of yourself – your strengths, weaknesses, values, and beliefs. This self-awareness is crucial for personal growth and allows you to make more informed decisions in your life.
Your Success Is My Biggest Reward
Sure, I work hard to earn my personal development coach salary - but for me, the coaching business is more than a paycheck. When you succeed, I succeed. It's a beautiful partnership, and I'm fully committed to helping you become the most successful version of yourself in every way that matters to you.
Everyone needs support to overcome obstacles and maximise potential. That's the power of coaching. I offer the unbiased insights and accountability you can't get from friends and family, helping you turn knowledge into powerful, decisive action.
Don't underestimate the power of discovering your true path, achieving self-confidence, tackling procrastination, and creating lasting change. As your self-development coach, I'll help you get there.

Take The First Step
MY CLIENTS SAY
Jake is a fantastic coach who gets to the core of the issues excellently. He helped me to take drastic steps (they were needed!), which brought me a massive shift in my business and my family life. Now, I work less, earn double that I used to and have more time for my kids. What I like about Jake is that he can be straightforward if needed and when necessary. He is not afraid to ask the difficult (fundamental) questions when the situation calls for them. An outstanding return on investment! Thank you, Jake. See you again soon.
What a tremendous coach. Jake has a very unique and powerful style. His help allowed me to fix my objectives and build a very profitable online business. He pushed me to reach my full potential! I have been motivated and inspired, and have learned powerful tools for my business and personal life. I feel the happiest in my entire life. Thank you so much. You are a huge inspiration, Jake!
Jake has had an enormous effect on my motivation, my decision making and discovering my true potential. Over the past year, I have found my dream job, got out of a toxic relationship, lost weight and started my own part-time business. I found Jake's coaching to be superb and life-changing. The best investment in my life.
When I started coaching with Jake, I was in the darkest depths of my relationship, my business, and my entire life. I was a walking shadow, and I couldn't see any light at the end of the tunnel... However, Jake helped me to turn everything around and put me on the right tracks. His coaching helped me to change how I can see the world. The impact it has had on my business and personal life is priceless. His business ideas are so easy to implement and at the same time very powerful!
Jake's work as a coach has had tremendously positive feedback on my life. I feel like a different person. Working with Jake has helped me to concentrate on my vision, goals and the essential ACTIONS! Without a doubt, he has helped me achieve more in a few months than I did in the last five years. I am a different person now compared to when I initially started my coaching sessions with Jake.
The only thing I can say is a "huge thank you, Jake"! I already had the right tools in place to create a good income. However, Jake added a few missing puzzles to my plan and helped me accelerate my income tremendously in just a few weeks. He could see what I was missing and helped me to make the right decisions and changes. It wasn't always easy, but it was worth it.
Jake helped me change my life when I felt lost. I decided to work with him because I wanted to change my career path. With his genuine personality and sense of humour, I instantly connected with him. He helped me find my new way, and I am now doing what I always wanted to do, but wasn't brave enough to try. Jake believed in me when I doubted every action and feeling I had. He pushed me to my limits, so I had to break them, and to my surprise, I did.
There aren't any words that could describe how much Jake has supported me through his coaching. His knowledge, experience, and professionalism are to be admired. He will always go the extra mile to help you achieve your goals. The new approach and tools I now have, enable me to have a much stronger focus and plan to action in achieving my deepest dreams. I also like his (sometimes brutal) honesty and speaking the "truth", exactly how it is. Only a coach can tell you what you have to fix to get better results. He doesn't just cheerlead his clients through the highs, but also through the challenges. I decided to extend his services to another few months for other problems and goals. I look forward to working with you again and again.
Jake offers an excellent service. It is incomplex and at the same time full of wisdom. He was able, in a straightforward way, to help me find my inner truth. At the same time, he inspires, not only through his fantastic support, faith, and confidence but also with his contagious vibrancy and beautiful personality. My self-belief and determination have soared. I can honestly say since coaching with Jake, my life has never been lovely. I wholeheartedly recommend him as your life coach!
Coaching sessions with Jake were life-changing. Even after one or two sessions, there were absolute and distinct differences in my thinking and in the actions that I took in my business and day-to-day life. In addition to confidence, he helped me develop valuable sales and communication skills that helped me grow my business. He made me find ways to overcome my limiting beliefs. Jake opened up the doors to those talents and ideas that had never crossed my mind before. He is truly a fantastic example and representative of the coaching industry. I now know for sure that working with a coach can not only multiply your productivity but also give you more freedom and help achieve incredible business goals.
Jake! The only thing I can say is THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! You have changed my life for the better. Finally, I feel like I am alive. Thank you for showing me that I can do what I always wanted to do.
Choosing to work with Jake has been one of my best decisions. I was a little bit doubtful about life coaching. However, I decided to give it a go after the first session with this amazing man, and I was blown away by his style and knowledge. He's helped me to clarify my vision, find exactly what I want from life, lay out the path for my future, and gain new insight into how to carry out my life goals. All our coaching sessions were run in both a professional and friendly manner. However, Jake likes to get to the core of every problem and could be strict and firm, but only to help you get your best. Most importantly, he helped me overcome my eating disorder problem. He has changed my entire life. It was a privilege to work with him.
Jake is a great coach. My sessions with him were fantastic and open minded. I thought I knew a lot, but he gave a lesson that we can not ever stop learning and getting better. Jake is very intelligent, alert and unique. He looks through people to find the right path for everyone he works with. He is very experienced and I'm truly grateful for the support he gave us to work through this troubling time. He is definitely made for being a life coach.
Working with Jake gave me tremendous confidence and motivation. He is an excellent coach, and I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking for one. He took me from talented but with a lack of confidence and self-belief to a bold athlete. He has taught me to dream big dreams, aim to the top and to be the best. Now I am interested only in the 1st place - second place is the first place among the last ones.
Getting a coach was one of my best decisions in life! If you are hesitating, please STOP! In my case in a few short months, I went from procrastinating and agonising over taking my next step, to putting myself out there and succeeding! It was an amazing and profound experience. Jake is intuitive and positive. And most importantly, he doesn't waste time. His style is an excellent balance of “let's get things done” and also creative and exploratory. He seems to know when to focus on the concrete goals and when to explore our motivations and feelings.
Jake is a charming coach to work with. He is not only a great listener but also very generous with his time when needed. He is very determined to help you with achieving your best version of yourself. He helps you assert yourself and take daily actions in order to complete your goal. He helped me reveal my inside genius and also discover that I am really able to be successful in all areas of my life. Jake helped me a lot. I was in a very stuck position when I met Jake. Thanks to his magic, I am on my way of taking on the whole world! He has helped me to discover ways to improve many areas of my life and he has helped me to create the foundation for my new future, the things I would never think could happen to me.
Jake coached and mentored me through the first phases of my internet company. He is a very talented, knowledgeable and experienced businessman. I cannot speak highly enough about him and his incredible help. Jake helped me a lot by merely believing in me and my business. My confidence soared through the roof from the very first chat with this brilliant man. He helped me set up my own online fashion business, and it is running very successfully now. Thank you for your impressive help. Keep doing what you are doing!
I can highly recommend Jake and his excellence services. He helped, mentored me and coached me to take me and my business to the next level. And then another and another one. I can not thank him enough!
Before my coaching sessions with Jake, I was in a terrible position. My relationship was in a bad state, my feelings and sense of self-worth were very low, and I was barely able to stay emotionally stable. I hated my job and my whole life. However, since working with Jake, I've become much stronger, my self-belief went through the roof, and I know how valuable I am. I have found a company I love to work for, and my relationships with others are much more profound and exciting.
I have just one word to describe this guy: Phenomenal! Jake gave me the tools, insights, and courage to chase my real dreams. Thanks to life coaching with Jake, my life has changed dramatically! I am now on my way to realise my biggest dreams and goals. The techniques Jake has given me are life-changing. Jake is the best coach I have ever met.
