Veronica’s situation was typical of many SMP clients. Unfulfilled, frustrated and not realising her true potential, due to the lack of opportunities with her employer.

She attended our ‘One Step Beyond’ Evening Workshop and quickly realised that she would really benefit from attending our Full Day Workshop and she has never looked back!

Veronica says “Coming on the workshop helped transform my life. Meeting other people from completely different backgrounds who had similar needs and the support of SMP coaches Steve and Debbie really motivated me, giving me the confidence to take action rather than staying in my comfort zone.

Everyone at the workshop encouraged me to apply for a role that I wasn’t confident of achieving and made me realise that I did have the skills and attributes required to be successful. This made me determined to prove them right!  

I wasn’t confident with my interview technique and had previously found it extremely difficult to provide good examples to support my interview answers, especially as English is not my first language. Steve suggested that I use the follow up session from the Full Day Workshop for coaching to practice sharpening up my interview skills and boost my confidence.

The result- I beat off all the competition and now have a new public sector role with great opportunities for both career and personal development!

I cannot express in words how the ‘One Step Beyond’ workshops and Steve and Debbie’s coaching has changed my life!”
