“Nancy has been of great support in helping me create positive change in my life. Her methodology has helped me understand and see new perspectives for life challenges. She was always a great listener and she guided me to create better ways to improve myself and to move towards my goals faster and more effectively. This is an incredible tool for personal and professional development. I can say my life is better because of coaching. Thank you, Nancy, for being there on my journey to success.”

“Before I started working with Nancy I felt quite confused as to what the “next step” should be for someone like me, trying to switch from one industry to another. A friend referred me to Nancy and I’m so grateful that she did. Nancy had such a hands-on and professional, but personal, approach to my journey ahead. She was approachable and flexible around my schedule to discuss the way forward – in person, but also via other means of communication.

What I learnt through my time spent with Nancy was a bit more about my own personality, what to consider when looking for the ideal role, not only from a “work conditions” perspective, but also to consider if a role meets my personality traits and the things that I value the most at work, and as a person, as those are the things that would give me job satisfaction in the long run.”

I really loved how Nancy was so approachable and it was so easy to talk about challenges and victories. She’s always optimistic and often had more confidence in me than I had in myself, so that really helped in applying for positions I wouldn’t otherwise have looked at!

I’d recommend anyone who is looking for a change in professional direction, or at a crossroads, to contact Nancy for guidance on their journey ahead."

“Before coaching with Nancy, I felt stuck, confused and uncertain of the way forward. Coaching has really changed my life. Nancy’s coaching sessions have helped me become clearly aware of where I am in life, where I really want to go and most importantly what I need to do to get there. Nancy has an aura about her that makes you feel comfortable and understood. She is a warm, compassionate, kind and highly skilled coach. I’ve recommended Nancy to friends and I will continue to do so. Thank you for all the help.”

“I decided to explore coaching as a way of getting clearer on how I want my career to progress and to understand how I need to challenge myself to get there. I was able to gain a better understanding of myself, my values, core beliefs and motivations, and I also got to understand how important these are to guide my future career decisions. This is the first time I have dedicated time to understand myself. My coach, Nancy, was very capable and was able to support me as we worked together. I would highly recommend Nancy to anyone who is facing stagnation and discouragement about their career and would like assistance to develop a plan that is aligned with their true values and motivations.”

“Thank you Nancy for today and helping me so much.

More importantly, thank you for helping me believe again, that I can maximise my capabilities.”

“Nancy was instrumental in helping me clarifying my goals, putting a framework around those goals and showing me how to be more effective in how I spend my time and energies.  

While considering plans for my ‘what next’ she provided constructive suggestions for improving my resume and profile.  Consequently I feel well prepared.”

“I was looking for guidance on interviews and Thrive at Work role-played the interview for the position I had applied. The coaching I received not only addressed my planned responses to potential interview questions but also how I appeared to an interviewer, such as my tone and body language. 

Nancy Kabaara challenged my perceptions on what I thought was working well to succeed at interviews. As a result, I secured the job I applied for and always reflect on the guidance provided, for any form of interactions with my stakeholders. I would definitely recommend Thrive at Work which personalises their services for your individual work situation”.

“Thank you so much for the life changing sessions with you. I can’t tell you just how much those sessions have changed my life for the better!! 2020 has been a tough year but I can say it’s been my best. Mostly thanks to these sessions. While I still have so much work to do on getting my best self, at least I know my weaknesses and what to do about it. I now see so many things through a very different lens. For that I say thank you so much. I will surely be back for different sessions!”

My younger sister in Sydney had been witnessing my dilemma as an entrepreneur in Kenya, had already done Nancy’s ‘Thrive at Work’ Course and gifted this course to me!

My dilemma was which of my two businesses do I focus on?  

Thanks to Nancy Kabaara of Thrive at Work, the course has created a high degree of clarity, focus, and completing my tasks in manageable chunks. Specifically I have been able to:

1. Focus with clarity on Studio d'Antique Conservation
2. Write my brand story which I believe in and can speak to with confidence
3. Develop my business strategy both pre-COVID and during this challenging year 2020
4. Take on a two-pronged approach to surviving this infamous pandemic
5. I was able to introduce art commissions and keep promoting restoration and conservation services
6. I now, as of November 2020, have my own Art Catalogue

Thank you, Nancy. I pray to be able to continue being guided by you.
