Testimonials

Lets face it I’m old and they do say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. So when the idea of Sarah coaching me was mooted, I was skeptical. But boy was I wrong.  Her extensive knowledge and intense listening coupled with her infectious positivity helped me regain a level of energy and focus that I had lost, it was like she rolled back 10+ years.  I really feel like I now can focus for longer or as Sarah would say “be in the zone more of the time”.  Those that know me will find it difficult to believe Sarah made a difference in such a short time, but hopefully you will decide to work with Sarah so that you can see for yourself that its true.

I had the pleasure of working with Dr Sarah Taylor when she delivered a series of virtual Energy MOT® sessions as part of our Winter Wellbeing programme at City of Glasgow College.  As humans, we need different energy sources to feel at our best and flourish. This requires a balance of physical, emotional, mental and purposeful energy. We tend to expend a lot of effort trying to manage our time, whilst taking our energy for granted. The result is that we end up depleted and running on an empty battery.  Throughout Sarah’s Energy MOT® sessions, our colleagues learned about their energy sources and gained greater awareness of how well they were managing their energy across the four dimensions.  They identified their major energy drains and how to reduce them as well as how to build more energy-boosting habits into their working day.  Sarah’s sessions were informative, engaging and feedback from colleagues was extremely positive. It is without hesitation that I recommend Dr Sarah Taylor and her Energy MOT® to improve wellbeing in your organisation.

It was a privilege to have Dr Sarah Taylor host a series of Energy MOT sessions as part of the City of Glasgow College winter wellbeing programme. Sarah’s approach to consultative design was flawless and demonstrated the flexibility of her Energy MOT model as she tailored it to meet the anticipated group needs. The insights shared during the sessions ensured participants could easily transfer the practices and methods to self-manage their own energy and cascade the learning within teams and the wider student community. Sarah’s passion for her subject helped ensure high levels of engagement within the sessions and has inspired a group of colleagues to work collaboratively beyond the sessions, using Energy MOT as a catalyst for augmenting current and future wellbeing initiatives. This certainly, exceeded our original expectations.

Sarah’s energy was really positive and infectious and the way she explained energy drains/gains was easy to understand. I had a great light bulb moment during it where I felt I could now control my energy levels and I feel I have the right tools now to work on reducing factors/situations that drain my energy

I appreciated so much Sarah and Ian leading our workshop today. Amazingly, I am feeling transformed already. Took me by surprise. I was feeling tired and lethargic, and now I feel this incredible sense of energy! – Workshop participant

I would strongly recommend ThriveWise for bringing value to their organisation through Team Coaching. Sarah and Gordon perfectly tailored their support to our industry, culture and challenges with a highly engaging a thought-provoking delivery style that led to ‘aha’ moments for us all. What I hadn’t expected was the feel good factor that ran through the team afterwards, with a fresh view on our challenges. The team feels focused and recharged. The value of resetting our team’s mindset has been invaluable to our business and I look forward to working with ThriveWise in the future to help support our growth and internal change programmes.

 Learning HeartMath techniques helped me to stay calm and focused while I was going through a difficult time. Sarah is a patient and encouraging coach and I’d recommend her and ThriveWise.
