“I just completed a wonderful 12 session coaching program with Joelle Lydon. During this process, I understood my fears, developed my mission, and tangible steps to get me there. I also got to sense in my body how fabulous my future will be. My dreams now feel totally achievable. And she does all this with humor, grace and intelligence. I am now going to be her cheerleader—GO JOELLE!!” ~ Clare, Nia Teacher and Continuous Improvement Leader, Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
“I am more aware of my resistance and the most exciting aspect is….facing my fears. I don’t feel stuck anymore…I see more and more options in my life and I have hope again….I feel more creative and inspired to get things started or finish up projects I have started in the past…for example, update my website and market my matting and framing business, which helps my photography business. Thank you so much Joelle…I keep setting intentions…facing my fears…and stretching outside my comfort zone. It is exciting to be alive!!! In joy and love,” ~Saundra Roberts
“I can’t believe how quickly things changed. It took just six short weeks from when our class ended for me to land my dream job. I am making more money, doing what I love and helping other people. I am so grateful for the Overcoming Underearning class. It has been the best investment I ever made in myself. You have made a diffence in my life. I feel like a completely different person. Things are working in all areas of my life. Thank you!!!” ~ Denise McNab, personal trainer
“Joelle went far above and beyond my expectations as a coach. She helped me see things in a new light and really changed my perspective about several of the things I worked on during our twelve weeks of sessions. She asked wonderful questions, really honored the coaching process and the energy on the calls, and was very positive (but still not afraid of heavy issues). I felt like she was completely present and invested in our sessions, and that allowed me to feel safe and really make some astonishing discoveries that I wouldn’t have expected to make. I really felt like I had a lot of breakthroughs during this coaching relationship. While I started out wanting to focus on growing my business, I took a bit of a detour and started really focusing on self-care, and the pursuit of pleasure in particular. Joelle was completely game to shift focus for a couple of weeks when I needed to attend to my emotional and spiritual health, and I’m honestly feeling happier and more content than I’ve ever felt, largely due to the support she provided as I explored my needs.” ~ Kylie, Photographer and Writer
“I found Joëlle to be an intuitive and naturally gifted coach. She is a deep listener and creative problem-solver as well. Over the course of twelve weeks, she provided me with the support and structure I needed to begin working on my future goals of being a facilitator of support groups, using my own personal gifts and talents. In every session there was movement towards a deeper understanding of what my uniqueness is, and what is preventing me from accessing my own strengths. Joëlle, with her own toolbox of suggestions and assignments, helped me to clear out the clutter, to set workable short-term goals, and to acknowledge my own struggles and progress, all the while being a sounding board and an enthusiastic coach… In a relatively short time-period, I found someone just for me to help me along my personal path of inner-growth. I found the guidance necessary for real change.”~ Susan Riback, RN, Author, Shaking the Sand Out: Poems of Motherhood
“Joëlle Lydon was my coach during the summer of 2011. We had 12 coaching sessions together, from the end of May to mid August. During the coaching experience, Joëlle demonstrated an ability to truly “get me”. She established a safe and secure space during each session. I always felt able to to be myself and say what I felt without worrying about being judged. I wanted to work on finances with her, and she proved to be more than capable in her coaching techniques. My goal when working with Joëlle was to have support on my journey. I wanted to have someone ask me the powerful questions and listen to me. She did this and so much more! As an emerging coach I learned a lot from working with Joëlle, not the least was to always be myself in my coaching practice. At the end of the coaching relationship I felt that my perspective towards money had definitely changed. I was able to use the tools and exercises that she suggested and have been able to use them with my own clients. Joëlle is an intuitive and astute coach who has supported me immeasurably on my personal journey and I truly value this experience.” ~Tonya Pomerantz, Life Coach, Puddle Jump Coaching
“One of the greatest highlights in working with Joelle has been having a safe place to step out and test life, a sounding board that reflected my desires in life.” This manifested from Joelle’s acceptance of what I previously thought was “bad” about me. I know she has a personal interest in seeing me, or any coachee, reach her/his goals and grow. She has a way of checking in with herself to make sure her feedback is for my personal benefit rather than hers and keeps the focus on the coachee. Finally, and I find most amazing, every time I have brought up an issue or said something I felt I needed to she has held my trust with her and even strengthened it. That has been paramount in working with Joelle. I have found that I have been able to trust her no matter the issue. She has been honest, professional, and trustworthy. For anyone seeking a life coach, I would wholeheartedly and without reservation recommend her.”~ Stephanie
