What clients say about working with me
Jennifer Dean
Social Media Manager, Photographer
My challenge was career and personal confidence. As I result of coaching, I am giving myself space and positive affirmations, caring for myself and looking for the good in me just as I do for others has opened a world of possibilities that I hadn’t considered. I’ve been able to refocus my aspirations, I’ve given myself attention where needed, and I have grown both emotionally and professionally. Changing the way I looked at myself and my career, and most importantly changing the way I spoke to myself, has helped me to achieve so much in a short space of time! I am now on the cusp of the career growth I have craved- it’s literally within my grasp! And I feel positive about the future and how to achieve my goals. I no longer view disappointments and set backs as just negatives; I have learnt to turn these around to invite new opportunities and see new possibilities. It’s amazing how shifting our perspectives can induce real change!I’ve learnt to look at the whole picture rather than focusing in on one small part. Most importantly, I’ve learnt to appreciate myself more, to like myself more and to congratulate myself more. I’ve learnt (and continue to learn) to be my own best friend :). That little negative voice in the back of my head will always need a little reminder to quieten down when things don’t go the way I hoped. And I continue to need to work on how to deal with difficult personalities, and not to overthink and consequently overreact to situations. I really appreciate the support and advice received from Charlie. She has truly helped me to get out of the emotional rut I was in and take back control of my self and my career. Thank you Charlie!!!

I was challenged with confidence and stress managing my business. With coaching, I have learnt to delegate, create structures and processes, set boundaries and communicate those boundaries efficiently and effectively, learnt to understand what drives many of my decisions and have more confidence in my abilities to manage and lead. I am able to have those necessary but challenging conversations with my staff. I feel more at peace and I have a deeper understanding of what drives my own behaviours which is empowering and helps me lead my team with confidence and care. I am much less fearful of the unknown challenges with Charlie by my side! Charlie is phenomenal! Brilliant and kind communicator, very insightful and powerful in her perceptive skills. She gets to the heart of the issue very quickly and provides fantastic guidance and advice. I am so incredibly grateful to her!

Process Analyst
At the time I met Charlie, I had not previously worked in a business analyst or project management role so it was very new to me. Throughout the 5 months working together Charlie taught me the fundamentals of the Management Operating System being implemented and how to bring structure, discipline and accountability to the projects activities I was responsible for. Charlie expects a lot from those she works with however she always takes the time to share her knowledge and experience to set you up for success. Most importantly she cares about those who she works with and if you are willing to put the effort in Charlie will be there for you every step of the way.I strongly believe it was the skills and experience Charlie taught me from both a BA and Project Management perspective that landed me a my first permanent BA role continuing this same type of within my company. It has now been 10 years and still working in the BA and Project Management space and I still call on things Charlie taught me to this day. My career was at a cross road when the opportunity to work with Charlie came about and I did not like my current role at the time. Working with Charlie opened my world up to the role of a BA/PM and I found my jam. This completely reinvigorated me professionally and a lot of that credit is to how Charlie operates to get the best out people she works with. As much as I worked with Charlie in a corporate environment which she is brilliant at getting results in, I have also seen how she uses her skills, advice and experience to coach people on a personal level. She has worked with family members of mine not only as a business coach but as a life coach too. Charlie is trusted advisor/confidant that has helped family work through some very challenging personal circumstances with empathy, care and tangible strategies to tackle these head on.Charlie will challenge you to get the most out of you. It won't always be easy however if you put in the work Charlie will be there with you every step of the way.

General Manager
I was craving the ability to develop emotional strength and personal and professional resilience. Charlie has helped me face, understand, accept, invested in, grow, and flourish. The work we have done under her stewardship has changed my sense of self, my sense being, and my professional trajectory. Charlie has taught me how to practically recognise and nurture ‘my human/my self’, and to no longer be duped by self-sabotaging thoughts of doubt and fearfulness. These are gifts that now sit surprisingly comfortably within me, and they feel somehow like a superpower. Make no mistake, Charlie never spoon fed me my learning and growth. Instead, she kindly, encouragingly, professionally, and thoughtfully held my hand and guided me through the most wonderful process of self discovery and self awareness. My journey with Charlie has been pivotal and life changing.I now feel empowered with the emotional strength I need to grow and flourish. The process is scientifically proven and very quickly obviously effective. Continued personal and professional growth. My expectations are no longer shackled by fear and anxiety, but rather sparked by curiosity and gratitude.I wish I had found Charlie Roach earlier…….what a gift her professional skill set is. She has been a life changer for me, I can exhale now and start to really live without everything being about fear.

I was having problems with the direction in which I was going and lacked the confidence and the drive to do anything about it. I felt like I was floating through life aimlessly, knowing I was capable of so much more but not knowing how to change things or move forward.
I took part in coaching with Charlie Roach on early versions of The Doubt Deactivator practices and I now have a clear vision of where I want to be, the steps I need to take, and I now have the passion and the drive to make my dreams a reality. The shifts that came were so subtle yet so empowering. The self-doubt and constant self-criticism were replaced by inner confidence, clarity and a knowing that I could make it to where I want to be and enjoy the journey on the way there.
I feel I am on my way and now feel that I have found my purpose. I have a long way to go but now I don’t feel in a hurry or feel an urgency in getting where I want to go. I know where I am going and am enjoying the process of getting there. I am writing the book I have always wanted to write, I am living what I want to teach and I feel a love and excitement of life.
Charlie has been able to bring out in me the confidence, clarity and direction that I have been searching for. She has given me the skills to guide my own journey, helping me see that what I thought were my weaknesses were actually my strengths and helped me find that part of me that feels empowered even when everything is not necessarily going right. Hurdles don’t bother me as they used to, and I know that I can overcome any obstacle that comes my way.
I cannot thank Charlie enough for what she has done for me. I still have a way to go, but I don’t feel the need to rush now as I know that I am heading in the right direction as my destination is clear.
Thanks Charlie.

Thank you very much, it has been a really beneficial training two days and as a team we are implementing the information into everyday practice and conversations which is fantastic.
Thank you for a wonderful, and valuable session!! (I have learnt) strategies to relax, and deal with conversations in a structured way that will actually help me to feel better as well.
Thank you it was wonderful and I got so much more than I expected.
I really valued the depth of conversations we went into and ensuring that everyone responded to the questions and gave input. Really valuable training and life skills!
I really enjoyed your training session and I look forward to our follow up one, thanks Charlie. I am more aware of and hopefully improved my active listening skills. I haven't had to have a courageous conversation as yet but I feel I will be better equipped for this!
