Testimonials

"I have had the privilege of being coached by Tara and from our very first session, it was evident that she possessed the ability to listen deeply and understand the unique challenges I faced. Her guidance has been instrumental in helping me identify and overcome obstacles, set clear and achievable goals, and develop a concrete action plan.

I wholeheartedly recommend Tara Goddard to anyone seeking a coach who is dedicated, insightful, and genuinely invested in their clients’ success. Her expertise has been a game-changer for me, and I am confident that Tara can provide the same transformative experience for others.

"Tara’s sessions were of great value to me. They came at a point in time when I was anxious and unsure of myself and as a consequence, I was lacking in confidence at work. Tara was patient and continually encouraging in calm and reassuring way. She encouraged me to reflect on past achievements to help me re-affirm my abilities in my current role and build my confidence. By gently reminding me of these in each session, she helped me to change my mindset.

"I started coaching with Tara at a point in my life where I felt like I was ‘spinning out of control.’ Working with Tara helped me to not only set SMART goals but to be able to prioritise the things I needed to do and to be able to say no to taking on extra tasks out of obligation or ‘guilt’. Not only was Tara knowledgeable and professional all throughout our sessions but she exhibited a warmth and a sense of compassion which made this process much more engaging and fun.

"Tara's insightful approach really helped me to home in on what I want for my career development and with her support I was able to remind myself of what's important to me and move forward with clarity and purpose.

"The coaching sessions with Tara allowed me space to explore and think about my career and how I wanted to progress. The process was very helpful in identifying goals and actions I could achieve in order to progress within my career.

In addition I feel that the sessions helped me to build more confidence and the ability to look at things from all angles. I was very comfortable with Tara as my coach and would definitely use her coaching services again.

"The coaching sessions with Tara helped me to become focused on goals rather than being scattered in my approach to my career and growing business. I was able to learn about my personality through the profile I completed which helped me to find ways to better interact with the individual who reports to me at work. This understanding of myself and focus also helped me try something different and apply for an internal and external role at a higher level than my current role. I could also speak confidently about my strengths and development in the interview for one of these roles.

Career Clarity Masterclass

This was not my first time working with Dr. Goddard nor will it be my last. Every exercise made me stop think and reflect on what I really wanted to accomplish. It was also nice feeling like I was in a safe space, with person from a similar back ground and up bringing.

The masterclass was exactly what I needed without properly realizing what I needed yet. It helped me to gain clarity on my future career and helped with my confidence on moving to the next steps. It helped me identify my strengths and refine my goals to give me a more concise look on what I am seeking for my action plan. Tara was very knowledgeable and very understanding and kind, which I greatly appreciated. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for my clarity in their future career.

Craft & Confidence

It was so amazing to have such a safe space and camaraderie with a group of strangers. Tara and the rest of the group made me realise that I had strengths I took completely for granted. Mainly, it showed me I am not alone and people are willing to listen. I have reframed my goals for 2025 with more confidence in my strength

Tara's workshop has been inspirational and a space to reflect and connect with other women. It was good for me to step away for a few hours to look at my life and how I am already equipped with the skills to move forwards with confidence.

Reflections, Priorities & Goals

With warmth and wisdom, Dr. Tara Goddard, made the difficult task of reflecting on a hard year seem possible and I left feeling more hopeful, with a bespoke plan to take me into next year.

Tara is easy to get along with and quickly creates a safe space. I felt fully included in the session despite joining online. I was able to change my mindset and have positive actions to take away for some difficult problems in my life by the end of the session - even though it was just a morning!

Reflect & Reassess

Dr. Goddard's approach was specific and well-structured, ensuring that each area was covered with clarity and depth. I felt I was guided through the course in a warm and encouraging environment, making the entire learning process enjoyable. I left the workshop feeling inspired - equipped with insights which I can't wait to use in my creative project.

After attending the workshop, I can truly say that I am feeling better, and will apply the information received to make me a better person to myself and other. Thank you.
