The coach was very supportive and understood my situation.
This really made me think about life and I really enjoyed it. I am more confident about my life.
I now know what to do and how to go about my life. I had a great conversation.
Usually I am the listener, and for me to be listened to was special. I really enjoyed it!
Good, lots of sensitivity, honesty and openness.
More people should know about this, it would really help young people to get to know who they are.
Laura was really warm and listened to what I had to say.
She got me thinking about more ideas for my dream.
I can be positive now rather than be negative, I can now take charge of my life. Thank you!!
It was wonderful to talk to someone like you, I felt like I can trust you and that you listened to me.
Coaching released something from my soul.
Coaching was really good and it opens your eyes to what really is important.
Thank you for talking to me, you understood me and how I felt inside.
The coach was very approachable and trusting.
I was very comfortable talking to the coach on such a personal topic.
I feel like I had someone to talk to that accepts my feelings. I feel more confident on my side.
The coach was very nice, helped me with what I have to do. The coach told me what he saw and gave me the appropriate advice.
I reached a point where I have to improve my skills for my kids. The enabled me to realise what was important in my life and I must take reasonable action
Awesome attitude and very positive. Read into my eyes. She made me talk about what I wanted and nobody has talked to me like this. I feel like an interesting person. I feel better about myself.
Coach understood what I was talking about and shared a wide range of options – now open minded. Have many peope to talk to now
Fresh perspective on life. New idea’s, the coach was very nice and I enjoyed talking to her.
That was a lovely experience. I feel uplifted. Nice to talk about my goals and passions.
That speed coaching session was awesome!! My OPC was so inspiring and happy.
Good speed coaching session. My OPC was an excellent coach and was curious about many things.
The speed coaching was very engaging. It was nice not to be dominated by someone else for once.
My OPC was good at letting me realize what already knew and realize the values I have. Spoken in truthful manner about the person I truly am. I learnt I need to focus on the goals I have, connect with my heart and be truthful to myself. I committed to do a journal about my career and follow my heart not my head.
I enjoyed exploring how to go about doing things and how to relax. I learnt that I’m running around fast and I need to slow down a bit. I’m now committed to find a place in nature to visit and slow down for an hour.
I remembered what I should be doing and that I must stay positive. I’ve now committed to start my job search earlier, starting tomorrow morning, which was a surprisingly good idea. I’ve learnt that actually I am very focused and well organized.
I learnt to be more positive. The solution I found was simple, I just made it more complicated in my head. I’ve committed to talk to 3 colleagues about my business proposition. I can try and the worst can happen is nothing!
Amazing coaching session! My OPC was enthusiastic and comfortable to talk to – she helped me to look forward to future projects. I’m now more trusting of self to get things done.
The speed coaching sesison was so positive and encouraging. My OPC was inspiring, helpful and motivating. I’m now committed to “Keep being me!” – It feels good. Thank you!
I now feel free, confident, driven and motivated. I’m now more aware and gotta get things done. It was surprisingly comfortable to speak to the OPC – who I’d never met before. OPC was warm and I enjoyed the speed coaching session.
A very positive experience. I feel ready to move forward and excitement about my new beginnings. Grateful to talk to patient people like OPC.
I enjoyed discussing an important topic in depth and getting under the surface of it. What surprised me was that I had the answer in me. I just needed to focus more. I learned there is a solution to every thing if you think positively about it. I committed to talk to my parents about helping me with money management. This will positively impact my future career.
The speed coaching session was very enlightening and inspiring. I’m happy to see such positivity and love shared in community.
After being unemployed for a while, I was on my way to fill job applications for a Children’s holiday rep job in Spain. I now feel more confident and inspired.
(1.5 hour later) I went to do applications at job center and I applied for 10 jobs instead!!
My OPC was very warm, engaging and insightful. I’ve been feeing pigeon-holed and fearful, but after the speed coaching session I now feel like targets are achievable. I will now think about where I am heading.
It was a very enlightening experience. I now know it’s easy to set achievable goals and I have a more positive outlook on life after the session.
I feel positive. I’ve realised how important it is for me to do what I want to do, rather than what others want me to. I want to cut out smoking, in fact I did stop during the coaching session. I will continue trying rather than give up!
I feel enlightened and have hope for change. Good coaching session.
It was a stimulating coaching session- positive engagement and social communication. No immediate change, but left with a positive outlook on may things.
That was a very rewarding and positive experience. I feel more motivated and can thinking more clearly about what’s next. Thank you OPC
After that interesting coaching session – I feel positive and inspired. I’ve now set some achievable goals. I will also be more open minded.
I’ve never done coaching before. I learnt shouldn’t limit myself and go for the career I want. I was touched emotionally.
I will now think about what have I achieved in my life, before becoming homeless.
My OPC was Lovely. I committed to get rid of negative thoughts, see true good and live a more fulfilling life. I feel inspired to make more of an impact on people’s lives and look for true positive in people.
I feel more in control of life. Speed coaching was very interesting. I will make a list of positive things I can do to sell property.
It gave me a different insight into myself and highlighted what’s important to me. I realised I have the choice to do things. I have 5 kids – I will call them all today to let me know my decision.
Realised freedom is a big value of mine. I got an insight about my conflicting values. I committed to contacting 20 schools and 5 marketing agencies to offer 2 weeks free work to see if she likes, and to learning a musical instrument.
Speed coaching was fun and although I felt a bit embarrassed I felt touched too. Committed to talk to 10 new women today.
I had been thinking about something for a year, and after speed coaching I have now decided to do something today.
I’ve never seen empathy from another man as I did from my OPC. I got challenged and realized that I need to redirect all the energy I give to others, to now give to myself. I will now give myself space.
My OPC was really excellent, she’s a good listener and clearly she knows her stuff. She gave me some homework to do and insisted I do it the next day, and then challenged me to do it the same day – which I did, 5 minutes after. I’ve now made a solid plan to raise money which will help. I had these goals around, but speaking with an excellent coach helped me get it done.
It’s the 1st time i’ve been offered value in the street – instead of just asking for money!
Very relaxed and cool experience.
More street coaching events please!
I was surprised to find a solution in 10 minutes. The impact of speed coaching was I found myself saying “Maybe I could do that – I can be a better person.”. The solution was there all this time. I just have to try it out. OPC brought it out of me, he was friendly and easy to talk to, down to earth, exploring in non-nosy way, not invasive. Coaching affirmed the belief that I got the solution in me.
I valued being given the opportunity to stop and think. Although I was in a bit of a rush but I was intrigued and it was a nice chat.
That was amazing! Our People’s Coach Anne made me focus on what the real issue was and when I did the issue just went away.
My Our People’s Coach Anne was really good! I needed to open up and felt it was really needed (so badly). My issues seemed to be psychological and anxiety attacks, now have a picture to find my contentment – feel amazingly emotional and totally together!
That was really overwhelming. My Our People’s Coach Shivani knew what she was doing and was very good and very trustworthy. Being speed coached was a good opportunity to think about my life, become more appreciative of what my heart says, instead of the ever reasoning brain. Speed coaching really worked for me.
What a wonderful experience! I felt supported by the Our People’s Coach to achieve my goals. It may take longer to uncover to make life better. Will definitely try to meet my goals I have committed to. I have new hope to go in right direction with my life.
Speed Coaching was really interesting. Nobody’s ever asked me that question. Was good to be listened to. What the Our People’s Coach Street Team is doing is brilliant!
Speed Coaching was so fun! The action I got from it was amazing! Good timing.
Our People’s Coach Amanda, summarised so succinctly the feedback I’ve had throughout my career about the barriers to me communicating successfully. I now know I must show my passion and that means letting my humanity show.
Being speed coached by Our People’s Coach was a very good experience. Even with the communication challenges my Our People’s Coach Graham really understood what my needs were, and helped define three very important values to me: Freedom, connection, travel. The experience had pushed me to take action.
Our People’s Coach are going a great and admirable job!
That was really useful. I feel better and clearer after being speed coached. What was most valuable was focusing on the task and goal in one go and dismantling obstacles. I enjoyed, being prompted to find my own conclusions, although it wasn’t easy. I’m excited and I can do this!
It was really good to focus my mind and get clarity through the speed coaching session. I really liked the accountability part – I now know it will happen, and I’ll make it happen – because I learnt how. Our People’s Coaches are really encouraging and realistic. Coaching can really enable you to actually achieve your dreams and gain focus. I will now be recommended my friend to get coaching.
Liked that coaching is very simple and didn’t offer the answer. Our People’s Coach enable us to find the answers we had within. As a result of the speed coaching session we made 2 important decisions. We learnt that if we dedicate some time to the issue we can make a decision quickly. Coaching is worthwhile.
I enjoyed the speed coaching session and what made it work for me was keeping it lighthearted and fun. It made me think deeper about things and become more aware. I think coaching definitely works if you are after a goal and have a purpose your want to achieve, and are not sure how to.
The Our People’s Coach Street Team are very friendly and approachable. My speed coaching session was very valuable, and it helped me work out how to use what I have – I now have a plan. Will be telling my friends to give it a shot.
My Our People’s Coach really made me think. It was great having someone impartial to talk to and explore what I should do. I feel better, and can’t stop smiling and laughing. Coaching can really helps especially when you don’t have time to think.
My Our People’s Coach was really good. It was powerful to talk about thoughts that I had not shared with anyone, till now, and be listened to and understood. Now I see a way to move forward. It’s good to be listened to for one, as opposed to be constantly talked at. Please do more of it!
Being speed coached was a good experience. It felt very intimate, especially even in the streets and I got that kind push to do what I really want to do. I’m now committed to a date to start fixing an issue.
There was nowhere to hide with Our People’s Coach Steve. He hit the nail on the head! Now I know what to do.
Our People’s Coach Steve brought my problem out of my unconscious and made it really clear for me to see. This has helped a lot.
Our People’s Coach Steve helped me sort out what is really important to me, and what isn’t – so it now all seems less daunting. Now I know where to start!
Our People’s Coach gave me a little push towards jumping over the edge. I feel more open, assertive and less afraid.
The Our People’s Coach really made me stop and think something through rather than just do it on the hoof, so now I feel confident it will actually happen!
Speed coaching was thought provoking and interesting. My new commitment is to just do it!
I was initially skeptical with coaching because I feel confident in myself – but speed coaching with Our People’s Coach Shivani, was positive experience and a a result of the coaching session I will think more now about things and have an exercise to do.
It’s brilliant what the Our People’s Coach Street Team are doing and that they are here – giving people the chance to talk about their hopes and dreams, and making them come true by making a plan. Brilliant!
My Our People’s Coach Shivani was very interesting and very accurate. Nice to be listened to, in a non judgmental way and with enthusiasm.
Being speed coached helped me uncover what I need to do personally and professionally and has boosted my self confidence. I’m surprised how little steps make such big changes. My Our People’s Coach Shivani directed me in a friendly and genuine way. More Our People’s Coach Flash Mobs would help people from smaller towns to have bigger ambitions.
I really enjoyed being speed coached. What was helpful was having someone to talk to, ignite you and give you new ideas. It’s a good idea that can have a fantastic impact on society. Nice introduction to coaching.
Before being speed coached I misunderstood what coaching is. Know I understand better and see the value.
I’ve seen concept of coaching in the business environment, but it’ was good to now know the difference and limits between therapy and coaching. The power of coaching is in listening, because that’s what people tend to forget to do.
Speed coaching was cool, surprising and exciting. Happy people are doing something like this.
That was great! That one little step could change my life. After the speed coaching session I’m going to do new things and follow what needs to happen. The world would be better if everyone was coached!
My speed coaching session Turned from an initially meaningless session into something powerful for me.
It really was great meeting the Our People’s Coach Anne this afternoon. Her words left me feeling reassures and less anxious about the unknown problems that might occur during the remainder of the day.
I found the speed coaching session with Our People’s Coach Steve, surprisingly good. It’s useful to think of my desires and talk about myself.
I’m visiting from Hungary and think Our People’s Coach Flash Mobs might work in Budapest.
I really enjoyed talking and being listened to. Through the speed coaching session I learnt that I need to go out more, take more chances, have a go and probably be surprised. I now want to be more open minded.
The answers became apparent as soon as we started speed coaching session. I got a real focus on the issue. Coaching is an interesting tool and it opened my eyes.
Our society needs more encouragement to have coaching conversations.
The speed coaching session really helped to talk to someone independent and it helped me think things through. Thank you Our People’s Coach Street Team!
I found the speed coaching session very helpful. I have been managing a career change issue on my own for past 2-3 weeks and it’s good to have someone to talk to whose none judgment and independent. I learnt that I’m quite resilient and got encouragement from the coach to keep going.
In society, we all have so much to say, specially in London – but we all need someone to listen.
It’s very clear we all have the answers, we just need to hear and listen to ourselves to find the answers. Felt lovely to just be listened to. People are scared of saying ‘I need to be listened to’.
What you the Our People’s Coach Street Team is doing is much needed.
After the speed coaching session I feel good and courageous. I’ve often been scared of saying I’d like to be listened to, so really liked that the Our People’s Coach stop people in their busy life to give them a chance to stop and speak and look at life and find answers.
After being speed coached I now feel more confident about something that happened in my life and I never realised I had a way of making myself feel positive. Now I do and I can do it consciously in future.
My speed coaching session was good – my coach offered some interesting points and interpretations. It put my insecurities into perspective. I’ve changed my perspective and now I’m committed to monitoring my progress in next few months.
My speed coaching session with Our People’s Coach Stephan was Fun! I worked on being able to say NO; challenged to say ‘NO’ to people rather than ‘Yes’ as I usually do. It was lovely to have taken part in the Our People’s Coach Flash Mob life coaching. Blessings and thank you for my free coaching
My speed coaching session with Our People’s Coach Jude was catalytic in that I have written my personal statement and am now forging ahead with renewed vigor in seeking alternative employment.
Our People’s Coach Street Team please come to Birmingham and The Black Country, with the reduction in manufacturing (for instance) people need empowering.
I absolutely loved the experience of being speed coached on the streets – it was quite a powerful experience!
I thought it was a selling initiative. I agreed to take part, thinking it would be a survey with a product at the end, so I was feeling very resistant and skeptical, but the Our People’s Coach Laura was very open and friendly. Her questions really made me stretch – I remember having to think quite hard – but she wasn’t not intrusive or pushy. It was such a pleasant experience, and I’m so impressed with the coach’s skill.
The flower, lives in my heart and is still waiting for me to add some more leaves…
Thank you Our People’s Coach Dawn. You are all doing a great job Our People’s Coach Street Team!
The speed coaching session was helpful for me because it made me realise things I didn’t know before hand. Coaching can help people to reach their goals and make them feel good about themselves.
I ended up talking about something that’s important to me, but wasn’t top of mind and I just hadn’t given it enough thought. I’m now feeling very positive after the speed coaching.
From the speed coaching I now have one thing that I need to do. It’s nice to have speed coaching for free on the streets.
Speed coaching was a good opportunity to look at how to help yourself and commit to actions. Speed coaching flash mobs are a great idea, a lot of people need the help.
The coach helped me to apply for a new role and that gave me motivation. Feel like I’ve also resolved an issues in my career.
It was good talking to someone objectively and learning more about stuff I’ve heard about me before. It was good to have time for yourself, as as a result I’m more committed to having a balanced life.
Being speed coached was a good and positive experience – great for 1o minutes! I now feel confident to follow through. Created accountability to myself, I’m happy to have had chance to make concrete plans for future.
The Our People’s Coach helped me think about future, we worked on a plan for what to do. It gave me time to think a bit more.
This was the first time I’ve experienced coaching, it flowed easily. I have more focus and clarity after being coaches by Our People’s Coach Shivani.
Being speed coached was an interesting experience, especially in talking about something I don’t usually explore and put off.
The speed coaching was really interesting. You can’t go wrong and objective view, which was great. Got the feeling of positivity from it.
The speed coaching started with work but then came out with ideas for life!
Really good just being able to talk to someone about it. Helped thing much more about it than ever done before. Very funny, up for the challenges given by the coach!
My coach gave me a little bit of a push I needed as well as inspiration. I liked the presence of a coach and the focus on me as the coachee. Coaching can raise people’s awareness of the purpose of their life and enjoying. Coaches can make a great impact on society
It was great to have someone to let me talk about myself rather than to have to listen to them speak about themselves for a change, and show real interest in me.
I’d not heard of coaching and it’s positive philosophy in making a difference in people’s lives before, but after experiencing it I’m open to learning more and learning how it can helps me stay present.
I think it such an amazing way to inspire other people and I love what you’ve all have created. Imagine walking to work thinking about what to cook for dinner and all the tasks for the day….and then bam, out of the blue, a coach appears and asks you some skillful questions that you may never have been asked before which really gets you thinking about your life in a new way. Wishing you all the best for future coaching flash mobs!
This project is incredible and was really great to hear about! I look forward to bumping into the OPC Street Team during your coaching flash mob soon.
Being coached by Our Peoples’ Coach was a useful experience, in a non-judgemental environment
I believe the Our Peoples’ Coach Street Team could help people who have been unemployed re-enter the job market by working with them to regain their confidence. They could also really impact the youth through mentoring.
After being coached by Laura, from the Our Peoples’ Coach Street Team, I was inspired to follow the way that I started and do not give it up! Sometimes people just need a positive person to talk with, which can gives others a lot of power – I think Our Peoples’ Coach Street Team do this.
I hope you have a positive effect on other people as you did on me, during our coaching session!
Today I met and was coached by one of the Our Peoples’ Coach Street Team, Julie, at near Liverpool Street, London. I opened up about several issues I was having trouble with and she helped me to get a handle on all of them. She was compassionate and really helped me to feel better. I was touched by how involved she got and how much she wanted to help, let alone how much she did help. I don’t know what the next step is from here, but I’d like to give my sincere and heartfelt thanks.
Being coached by a Our Peoples’ Coach felt good. I was inspired to think about my life goals. It’s a great idea!
It was perfect for me…spontaneous, heartfelt and rang true full stop.
It reminded me of the importance of intention and being able to instantly change my focus and open new potential effortlessly
Love….Pass It On!
Go Global! The world is waiting to be inspired….by you the Our Peoples’ Coach Street Team!
It was empowering to stop and think about how I can change and impact my own life
OPC could make young people realise their full potential and power to change their own lives
More of the same please!
Brilliant! You lot are doing a great job! Thanks very much for listening. Massive actions equals massive results!
Shivani’s authentic and really thinks about what she says… which had a powerful impact on me.
I have to say to went well, Shivani asked straight forward questions. I learnt there are things I have not dealt with myself, that I could have massive impact in helping people deal with their situation better and can use it for things like interviews and working with a coach could get you the job!
What I learnt is that this has been a problem for me for as long as I can remember and I learn that it is a problem that I can solve and do something about… then I could be more comfortable at work and have a nice space for creativity. Shivani gave me insight and the opp to reflect on what I am doing, and when your busy it’s not often I get to reflect on what I am doing and why I am doing it. What was powerful was that she helped me bring out the solution within myself by giving me the powerful opp to stop and think. I would have liked to talk to her for longer because I was pleased at the way it went.
I felt like I was talking to a friend instantly…Shivani has great insight on me which was really surprising. I learnt I am on the right track.
Our random coaching session that we had it really meant a lot to me. It was amazing because Shivani really hit really directly on a number of factors that have been troubling me for some time, I would have just stayed in a comfort zone.
Being coached by Shivani, even though brief, rejuvenated my spirit. I really appreciate meeting you Shivani. Thank you very much.
The “talk to 10 random people a day” task was definitely a challenge for me. On the first day, I found myself making extra conversation in little areas. I realise having a friendly face on (rather than the more serious/tired looking one I have on) makes a big difference to how approachable people find me and the easier it is for me to be sociable on this level.
Throughout the week I definitely pushed myself into situations in which I would normally avoid. I have learnt to be more forthcoming and honest in conversations with strangers. On the Saturday I was invited to a barbeque with around 12 or so people (I only knew one person there), and found this quite an enjoyable experience (I spoke to most of them, and made a point of introducing myself to each on a one-to-one basis). If it wasn’t for your random life coaching I most likely would have rejected this invitation purely on the basis that being the only person there who doesn’t know anyone would make me feel very uncomfortable.
You’ve helped me confront an issue I otherwise I would have just accepted and wouldn’t have tackled.
Thank you.
I really had fun talking to Shivani, a total stranger about something I have been wanting to do for years and somehow haven’t been able to start. Standing there talking to people casually and warmly just makes them think for a second what they really want from life. Life’s too short to be scared and thinking of What if’s. The people who make it are the adventurous, bravest and luckiest. We all have to keep trying. Shivani, just keep doing whatever it is you are doing cause you have no Idea how deep what you are doing is. It’s Amazing!!
Shivani was a really great person to meet that day, her coaching really bolstered my confidence and actually very useful. Thank you so much!
