I feel so in control of things!"“I always feel like I get my bum into gear after we’ve been speaking”“You are such a wealth of knowledge and experience - thanks for untangling things so I can take control and be successful”“I’m back in control and feeling relieved I now know how to make this happen”"My gosh that makes it easier to get the team (and me!) focused on what counts"
