Jonathan Poole ‘No compromise - No regrets’
“WOW!
What an amazing program, it’s helped me confront my troubles,
conquer my procrastination and inspired me to grab life by the horns
and jump back on the saddle for a wild ride again”. Amazing
but
true.Two months ago I felt drained of energy and in a rut. Weighed down by the daily grind, full of negative thoughts and burdened by indecision regarding work and a stalled career, time was a blur as I seemed to stumble between chores or one crisis to another.
I was therefore somewhat hesitant about spending my precious spare time and limited cash reserves on joining the Making Magic Happen program which also happened to be geographically situated on completely the opposite side of the world! However I am so glad I did….
One adage I have tried to live my life by is ‘No compromise - No regrets’ and I am delighted to confirm that this still holds true!
The program operated seamlessly with communication in real time courtesy of Skype talk and chat with everyone ensuring that mutually convenient times were allocated for each coaching session. Occasional rescheduling was accommodated without question and the program proved as flexible as promised.
Identifying my wealth profile and confirming my needs and values was hugely satisfying and something I will treasure moving forwards. Similarly reconnecting with my true passions, though not easy, has proven refreshing and enlightening and I find myself positively striving to reintroduce them back into my life.
Decisions regarding my career have been made as I launch my own company and I find myself far more upbeat about daily chores and personal life – all in all my glass is now most definitely half full and not half empty!

In
only three months my world has completely changed. When I first joined
the Making Magic Happen program I felt that I didn't have enough
choices and I was going around in circles. I knew I didn't want to be
where I was but didn't know how, or which direction to get out of it.
One of the really good things about the process is that I have created
a "roadmap". Now I know I can go in any direction I would like to go
in. When things happen (and they do), I can refocus and keep going on
the right track. - Jo Ford, DunedinKaren Gibson
Gaelene's
business and coaching experience have been invaluable. Many times she
has provided clarity and insight which has enabled me to choose which
path to proceed down and how to go about it. She has a way of
reflectively listening that has helped me to identify which areas to
focus on. Gaelene has assisted me with developing goals and action
plans, and has been excellent with following up on these.- "Karen Gibson, General Manager - MenuMania.co.nz; Media Consultant at The Radio Network."

As
a Life
Coach, I don’t let just anyone coach me. With Gaelene, her
approach is as effortless as talking to an old friend holding an
accountability mirror. I am moved by her commitment to personal
development and her ability to process her own journey to outstanding
outcomes. Gaelene walks her talk. Her ability to be playful and find
joy in life is both refreshing and inspiring. Since I’ve known Gaelene, I’ve been continually impressed by her tenacious quest for knowledge and in keeping people honest. She has courage beyond her petite frame and is not afraid of challenge. She has a familiar energy about her that is sincere and present, yet ready to challenge you to be a better version of yourself. She has an intuitive way of questioning which comes from a place of genuine intent not learnt by parroting someone else’s coaching system. Gaelene’s manner allows you to be honest, raw and vulnerable while trusting that she will honour your process and be present as you shift. It is a pleasure and privilege to recommend her.

Beryl Hamblyn - Very successful, but … what’s next?
Beryl Hamblyn is an Auckland businesswoman who, with her husband, runs a successful importing company. The reason Beryl joined the Making Magic Happen program was because she honestly didn’t know what she wanted in her life. “I started the coaching just before I was diagnosed with adrenal burnout. I thought my inability to have goals and dreams was because of the constant and debilitating fatigue I was experiencing. It is a tribute to Gaelene’s patience, sensitivity, intuition, and amazing listening skills, that she realized there was more than just health issues going on.”As part of Beryl’s tailormade program she worked with Jasmina Kovacev, a Personal Performance & Wellness Coach. “She has been absolutely amazing. With Jasmina’s help I have been able to identify some key areas in my past that were blocking my progress, and have been able to acknowledge and release them.”
We also included Neurolink in the program as a therapy to help her physical recuperation. “I have been blown away by the difference this has made to my health. I would highly recommend either therapy, but the combination of the two therapies and the coaching have been life changing for me.”
With Beryl’s physical and emotional health on the mend, her dreams gradually started to reappear, and she realized that there were a number of things that she had always wanted to explore that she had never had time for. Finally, after years as a self-confessed workaholic, Beryl is replacing that lifestyle with one that honours her passion for learning in areas as diverse as natural health, music, languages, sport, and many others. “I’ve finally given myself permission to pursue things that inspire me instead of always putting the needs of others first … and it is really exciting!”
Beryl’s story of helping others achieve their goals at the expense of her own is a very common one. That is why one of the key components of the Making Magic Happen program is to address this. As Beryl has found, once the issues were cleared, her energy and excitement for life returned, and she was quickly able to get a clear direction forward.
“One of the really good things about the program is that I have created a “roadmap” for my future. I also know that, with Gaelene, I have a safety net if, at any time, I lose my way.”
"In a Little Over Five Hours"
Making Magic Happen has been an amazing, rewarding experience, and a business which I thoroughly recommend to anyone. Not only is the key focus around ensuring you continue to grow and develop in whatever arena your playing in, what I really got from working with them was freedom from the constraints and emotional blockages that have held me back in the past. I never realised that there was so much of my energy tied up in events from the past. In fact, I was almost certain that I was 'over that' and that the abuse and what I called neglect that I experienced as a kid, was certainly well sorted. What I really got was the impact that the hurt, and the fear and the pain was having in my daily life. And it was a really profound experience. Very simple, gentle and caring. I got right to the bottom of my pain and no longer have any attachments to the events that I now realise really shaped my life.
What I've gained has been a whole new perspective on what it is to be in a loving environment, both self loving and loving towards my partner. Before I did the work with Making Magic Happen, I was successful yet unsatisfied and had this deep feeling of 'blah'! Some of you may relate! It confused me because I was externally successful and inwardly eating away at myself. In little over 5 hours I was completely free from the burdens of my past, of feeling my family didn't love me, that I wasn't worthy and that it was all my fault.
Not bad in 5 hours. The freedom I have now, is beyond words and if I
could wish anything for people, it would be that they too can
experience such an easy, transformational way to really work past your
boundaries, restrictions and 'issues' so that you can really be the you
that you want to be. That easy!!!
