Shining Examples of Coaching Transformations:

‘I recently had a conversation with a colleague I’ve been avoiding for 18 months. His actions were costing the business around £1 million annually. I’d been putting off having the conversation because I feared he would dislike me and that it would damage our relationship. However, [following havening] I just went ahead, and had the conversation without overthinking. No pre-planning and he was fine about it!’  

‘Over the past 12 months in my role as Acting CEO, I have led the organisation from a £279k loss to a £250k profit. We are on track to further increase that to £500k this year.’

‘Before I wasn’t feeling on the ball and that I was having to convince people I was capable. Now I feel on top of things. The team is engaged and we have a plan. I’m in a totally different headspace.’

‘I’ve been able to step out of my comfort zone. I would have been more reserved in the past. I felt lighter, more in control, comfortable and confident in the meeting. I got positive feedback from a colleague afterwards. I can now see where I add value to the business. I feel happier both in my personal and work life’

‘Fee income increased by 300%.’

‘I can be more forthright in my views and push harder [for results] without fear. I’m able to let go of stuff and empower people as opposed to feeling insecure and questioning their motives. I am trusting [my team to deliver]. I feel able to be who I am.’
‘Instead of thinking nobody will want to speak to me and apologising for my existence [at the networking event], I confidently led my team and thought, I’m HOD for a reason. I feel at peace with myself. I don’t have to be someone else. I don’t need people to like me; they either do or they don’t.’
‘I felt much more empathetic and was able to support [my team member] as opposed to acting in a frustrated manner with them.’
‘I don’t feel guilty about saying no anymore. This has given me more time to focus on what’s important in my role.’
‘In the past I would have had an anxiety attack and have been preoccupied by what people thought of me. I don’t normally sleep the night before a presentation. This time I enjoyed it and a couple of the audience members said I looked more confident.’
‘I feel strong and I’m excited about the meeting and the relationship going forward, instead of this person triggering a negative emotional response in me.’

Hi, I'm Estelle

I’m passionate about empowering people to believe in their unique brilliance so they SHINE. I struggled with imposter syndrome and pushed myself to the brink of ill health, trying to prove my worth. Doctors told me there was no cure for my condition, predicting a lifetime spent in bed or a wheelchair.

Inspired by my lovely husband and daughter I refused to accept that fate and thought, screw that, I’m going to get better! This transformative journey led to the creation of the SHINE process and my recovery fuelled my mission to help other executives do the same, through coaching, speaking, and my bestselling book, Inner Brilliance · Outer Shine: 10 Antidotes to Imposter Syndrome, Workaholism and Stress.

In my free time, (which I now love and don’t fill with work 😉), I enjoy puffing my way up fells with our crazy dogs, attempting to learn golf, being zen-like on my paddleboard, and exploring the fab eateries of the Lake District with my family.

Estelle is a brilliant coach. She is everything you want in a coach, encouraging, challenging, honest and full of integrity. I cannot recommend her highly enough. I have used her personally but she also regularly coaches at Fisher German and the feedback across the business is the same. I would highly recommend using Estelle. Plus she's got a great sense of humour!
