Testimonials “Christine is a well organised and insightful person whose commitment and hard work can only be matched by her drive and determination. I would recommend Christine whole-heartedly and would add, her pedigree of past employment makes her a very valuable person to have on any consulting panel or think tank. Her workshops are excellent and her organisational capacity, truly amazing.”

Christine’s spiritual self … is really this Lady of the Valley who wears a cloak made of autumnal maple leaves. It whispers in the breeze as she walks along the life’s paths and through its lanes. She strives to be as one with nature and sharing her appreciation with her grandchildren. One day, when she was walking in the valley with two of them they heard the sound of a harp playing. It struck a note, which sent a peaceful warm sensation through their bodies. Their pace slowed as they reached a clearing and ahead of them saw a beautiful cottage covered in all their most favourite things…. Soft sugary sweets biscuits with crunchy pink icing, orange beads that glistened in the sun, photographs of days spent together and places they had shared. The Lady of the Valley swished over to the well standing next to the house and there, slowly drifting in the breeze, was a cocoon. Very carefully she leaned out her arm and with long elegant fingers took the cocoon in her hand. They all went into the cottage, so warm and welcoming and inside the three of them sat at the table, placing the cocoon on a beautiful miniature silk cushion in front of them. As they sat drinking their warm drinks and wondering what lay within the cocoon, their eyes were drawn to the magnificent sight of its shell slowly cracking open and from within a beautiful multicoloured butterfly breathing its new life, touching their hearts before flying into the sunlight.
Where do I start? I think this wonderful lady is an inspiration to most people she meets and a fabulous person to know. A very good friend, who I see far too little of and always enjoy her company. She has great intuition, spots the need for development in people uses her amazing listening skills and then waits. Her enthusiasm and go-do attitude I imagine in a work environment would be infectious. She is non-judgemental, very positive and not someone to jump in to try to resolve situations without being asked. Once consulted, she is supportive, observant, wise and always very well read and knowledgeable. I still wonder where she finds the time. She provides her support as and when needed. This is her personality and whole being, what she does almost unthinkingly – not a coaching mode of nodding the head and pretending to listen! The first time I met Christine I found her professional and yet warm and friendly. I immediately felt she’d have integrity (and I was right) and saw a determined and focused lady who gets things done. She is someone who people find it very easy to trust. I imagine she is very good at building relationships quickly and also sustaining them. She is very flexible and adaptable, as her recent move to St Neots after being widowed has proved! She has the energy of someone 10-15 years younger and a brightness and vigour that I can only envy as I push towards my 40s! I hope the above gives you a clear picture. I am part of a very experienced network of training and development coaches and even before any coaching training Christine would have given them a run for their money in terms of capability!

I agree with everything mentioned above and have found Christine to be absolutely amazing in how she has learnt the skills the move her ideas forward. I am proud to have her as a Director, colleague and friend. She inspires me and all those who meet her. Susan Hayward - Phoenix Community Action Network
“Having reached a low period within my business life, trade / contracts being the worst ever in 10 years of business, I sought help by way of coaching /tutoring by Christine of Pathways For Life. I was introduced to her by my life partner, Nicola, through their business network. This took the form of phone discussions one evening a week over some eight weeks. Though having not met Christine, I found it very easy to talk to her in some depth with regard to by business, her understanding of my business and its situation was very good and advice was sound. We explored positive thinking and the Law of Attraction, and I reached a point over that period of phone calls that I felt confident that I could move forward with my business, part of which was having the confidence that I was doing the right things for the right reasons, believing in what I had achieved to that point was a good start. The business has improved steadily ever since. Some time later I also attended a workshop where I finally met both Christine of Pathways For Life and Susan of Phoenix Action Network. In person, they were both warm and friendly individuals, Although the only male there (!) I found the workshop very interesting and covered lots of areas, which has also fuelled my interest in the Law of Attraction. Meeting other workshop participants with their various reasons for being there was quite profound. I must admit to being bit shy when getting involved with team efforts, but I can understand why this was needed and was glad I did join in, which gave me a better understanding of the issues being discussed. I would gladly recommend Christine of Pathway for Life for business coaching and mentoring”. Ken Netherway - Director, Protech Enviroserve |
