What My Wonderful Clients Have To Say

Judy's coaching has been a life changer for me. I truly gained so much from our sessions. I am learning to see things from other people's perspective, I manage my emotions much better and I am more thoughtful about how I react in situations. I see now that my responses affect me and those around me, and that this can be positive or negative. I see that negative responses put me in the wrong mindset. I now have courageous conversations not only with people I work with but also at home. I will definitely be calling on Judy as I continue my journey to becoming the best possible version of me. My husband has noticed a marked difference in how I communicate and how I manage my energy. My patience is steadily increasing as I embrace the philosophy that life doesn't offer challenges only opportunities. 

I had the incredible opportunity to be coached by an exceptional professional, and I cannot emphasize enough the positive impact it had on my life. From the moment I started the coaching journey with Judith, I knew I was in capable hands, and I am forever grateful for the transformative experience it provided. Under her guidance, I witnessed remarkable growth and development in various aspects of my life. The coaching sessions were structured and focused, tailored specifically to my unique needs and goals. She skillfully navigated through my challenges and aspirations, helping me uncover my true potential. One of the most valuable aspects of the coaching experience was the unwavering support and encouragement I received. Judith created a safe and non-judgmental space where I felt comfortable sharing my thoughts, fears, and dreams. She listened attentively, asked thought-provoking questions, and provided insightful perspectives that allowed me to gain clarity and deeper self-awareness. One of the most remarkable outcomes of being coached by Judith was the sense of empowerment and confidence I gained. She helped me recognize my strengths and unique abilities, encouraging me to embrace them fully. Through her guidance, I learned to overcome limiting beliefs and adopt a more positive and growth-oriented mindset. This shift in perspective has had a profound impact not only on my professional endeavors but also on my personal life.

When the idea of working with Judith was first mooted to me I was reluctant purely because I thought it was another "how to improve your life" approach. I attended because my Head of People suggested it and I felt obliged to. However, I was very pleasantly surprised that I fully enjoyed the experience and looked forward to the weekly sessions. A large part of that was down to Judith's affable manner and down to approach practical style, using real life examples from her own circumstances. As the sessions went on it was easy to talk with her about what I really felt and we formed a good bond. I recommend her and her business and can definitely say I will miss the sessions.

People management is not easy! We have our own biases and insecurities that will rear their ugly little heads from time to time. As a first time manager you can just imagine my anxiety! My sessions with Judy were eye opening and forced me to look internally. To recognize my strengths and my areas to be strengthened. I can write a dissertation about coaching but it is something one has to experience for themselves. It is a powerful tool for unlocking your zones of genius. I am very appreciative of Judy's calm but firm, non-judgmental and truth seeking approach. Thanks Judy, for the hand holding and exposing me to the requisite tools needed to lead, inspire and positively influence my team.

Judith’s aim is to see the best you shine. At a time when I needed it most, Judith’s sincere and empathic coaching made all the difference. From the debriefing session it was very clear that she was a master at interpreting my energy leadership assessment and coming up with a coaching plan to partner with me to create short and long term developmental strategies for my growth and continued success. She was excellent and I found her very easy to work with as she helped me talk through my strengths and opportunities for improving my leadership style, abilities and getting the best out of the everyday interactions with my team. The 10-week coaching programme was engaging, impactful and moved me to want to be more and do more for myself as a leader and my team. The improvements in myself and how I inspire my team to act was obvious and kept unfolding from the first week to the last and even beyond the original 10-weeks. Judith at heart loves what she does and it shows in how she approaches her coaching assignment with me throughout the whole time. I loved every minute of it and loving myself even more since deciding to take the journey with her. The Energy Leadership Assessment and the Coaching Programme that followed made all the difference for me.

If there’s one thing I can say about Judith is that she’s passionate about helping people, but even more so about helping people help themselves. Judith really invests her time in getting to know you as an individual and outlining your definition of success before collaborating on an action plan on how to get there. Our coaching sessions really developed my understanding of my strengths/weaknesses and gave me the tools needed to leverage both.

It was a great pleasure having Judith as a part of our executive team where she managed the HR portfolio for our Centers of Excellence. She was often times the voice of reason, taking an unwavering stand for the fair treatment and development of the people that work with our companies. Judith's quick wit, charm and joyful way of being are an added bonus to all and create an environment of candor that everyone appreciated. Her passion and intentional approach to excellence will continue to be a source of inspiration for me and for those who she interacts with.

Judy Bruce , Just want to say a BIG Thank You! Your coaching has brought out great possibilities in me that i had never seen possible. It is a game changer. I now attending gym !Never been in more than a decade. I am embarking on some great leadership initiatives that is already starting to positively impact my life and the people I serve. At home, work and church. Thank God I made this start !

I cannot thank Judith Bruce enough for the growth I have experienced through her coaching. It isn't that I didn't already know some of what we discussed together but the perspective that comes from our sessions was the breakthrough needed to create a shift in my attitude and energy. I think my major takeaway from our coaching sessions is what we call the Gremlins aka negative self talk which is one of my biggest personal challenges. She's helped me to not just recognize when they are showing up but also to not give them the power to paralyze me as they have before. Growth is a process and the tools she's equipped me with will be helpful to anyone trying to become better versions of themselves.

I am a huge fan of coaching or any activity generally that helps one become more self-aware, and more aware of the power they have over their life experience. Judy exposed me to Energy Leadership Coaching and it was a much different experience compared to functional career coaching or therapy. It focused on how I showed up with my energy, what thoughts or actions were driving my life experiences through the fluctuations of my energy. I feel more equipped and empowered to succeed both in my career and personal life, and I have a deeper level of understanding and appreciation of myself because of it. I HIGHLY recommend this coach and this program!

Coaching forms part of the leadership development culture and practices of every successful organisation and individual. Judith works with a mindful and caring attitude that has built trust across the ICD Group and within its businesses and is developing scores of our managers to be successful.
