Stress Management Course

For continuing a successful career path, it is vital to be able to manage one?s stress levels effectively and efficiently. Working in a high workload, high demand environment I knew I had to do something to change my lifestyle and approach to work, but no clue where to start ?

Luckily I came across the programme developed by Pam Stokes Associates that not only looks at lifestyle choices, but includes life coaching sessions tailored to the individual?s needs. Not only did the programme increase my awareness of how I handled potentially stressful situations, it provided useful exercises to alter behavioural patterns I?ve had for years and were holding me back. Thanks to sessions that addressed topics as diverse as nutrition; breathing exercises to self esteem and visualisation, coping with stress has became easier and far more effective in my life.

I can therefore recommend Pam's Stress Management Programme and congratulate her on a comprehensive lifestyle tool and for a valuable contribution to the corporate world!

Pam and I worked closely together on an individual programme which would suit my particular situation and needs. Even after just the first session I felt that I was making great strides forward: by analysing the events that caused me stress and how I coped with it, I categorised the different stress situations I was facing and worked on techniques and actions which would take me from being a victim to being in control. Pam was supportive throughout, providing skilful coaching, excellent guidance and valuable exercises which helped me understand my stressors and deal with them effectively.

Throughout the process my self-confidence has dramatically increased. I now recognise that stress is good for you when you can control it and I have a toolkit of techniques which I can apply and develop further. I used to feel that I couldn't deal with additional pressures but now I am keen to move further outside my comfort zone, looking forward to taking advantage of life's challenges and opportunities.

I think I am reasonably self-aware and knowledgeable about the importance of a healthy and balanced life - physically, mentally and spiritually. Looking back to the beginning of Pam's stress management programme, I am surprised that I had got so caught up in a way of being, operating mainly on damage-limitation, which was seriously affecting all areas of my life.

I was stressed and exhausted and hanging on for grim death ... I had relationship issues, a lot of work pressure, very little balance - and was run by bad habits and self-sabotage which were seriously affecting my confidence.

Through some excellent coaching and the gentle introduction of a programme of techniques and strategies that are proving easy to maintain, I have surfaced knowing that a situation can be turned around - that is very empowering! I am undoubtedly making better choices and significant changes to the way I think and act.

This has been a prescious gift I have given myself - and all who know me!

I originally saw Pam Stokes to resolve an issue concerning the use of the telephone and cold calling. Pam very quickly realised that the issue was not cold calling per se but was more to do with my motivation to do something that historically had not delivered anything of substance.

We then moved on to other issues that were more important and it was here that Pam really came into her own. Her deft questioning and insightful observations helped me to drill down to the core of my belief system and having done so, how I might live with it or make changes to it. That is the value that Pam offers - the ability to reveal these mental blocks and help you resolve them."

If you are stuck or are going round in ever decreasing circles - Pam is the one person I would recommend to break the cycle!

What started as coaching for a job interview expanded into all other areas of my life, quite unexpectedly. My relationships with friends and colleagues have improved as has my approach to my work/life balance. The sessions have been challenging, fun and life changing. You are highly skilled and extremely patient, and I always felt uplifted and ready to jump the moon after each and every session. Thank you!

You have helped me uncover behaviours I was previously unaware of and explore why I behave the way I do. You have helped me develop new, self-nurturing habits, which have led to a sense of inner calm and higher self-esteem. Oh, and you saved my marriage, too!

Thank you Pam, you have been an inspiration.

Thank you for helping me throughout our 12-week programme, it's not an exaggeration to say that you have changed the direction of my life.

I have to confess, when I started Life Coaching I didn't really see how it could make a difference, but I was intrigued enough to give it a go. I felt I'd reached a plateau in my life - not an unpleasant one, but a rather uninspiring and complacent position. Life Coaching shifted my perspective completely - nothing around me changed, but my perception of the world did, as though someone had polished it and it was suddenly shiny and full of opportunity.

I didn't achieve everything I wanted to overnight but, a bit like going on a successful diet, enough happened in the first week to keep me striving for more. I believe it could benefit absolutely anyone - so if, like me, every time you get Pam's newsletter you think "maybe I will" - in those famous words of Nike "Just do it"! You'll have no regrets!
F. Weller, Director, Cheltenham

I felt like I had someone to talk to who understood what was going on in my head and helped me see things in a different light. It also gave me more incentive to go on to do Life Coaching myself.

Pam's coaching has greatly improved my confidence, motivation, attitude, vision, organisation skills and especially the handling of my Bed and Breakfast guests who have been ruling my life! I have actively decluttered my head and home with very positive results! She has helped me to come up with some brilliant ideas and move forward with courage and enthusiasm. Many thanks again, Pam.

Pam has a straightforward approach to sorting priorities, making action plans and moving ahead in an organised manner. For me, she helped organise a "muddle of ideas". She also gave me the confidence to forge ahead with new plans by making me assess my goals and make new plans in a very logical way.
