Awesome
Unbelievably valuable
Best I’ve ever seen
Hi Jessica,
It will come as no surprise to you that these are just some of the words the Members of Vistage 103 came up with to describe your session and I concur whole heartedly, thank you for sharing not only your knowledge and expertise with us but also so much of your self and your irrepressible humor. Your’s is a very rare and special talent which we were privileged to be exposed to and again thank you.
For the record, you have set new standards in the group’s scoring with 9.7/10 for relevance and value and 9.6/10 for style and impact well done.
Yours

Vistage Chairman and 'What If?' Specialist
Hi Jessica,
Just wanted to thank you again for the life changing couple of days last week at the Red Lion. I've noticed massive changes in how I think and feel, eat and sleep! It couldn't have happened at a better time for me as I'm facing some tough decisions business wise for the future, and I now feel clear headed, calm, and able to make it happen. Nobody has ever made such a dramatic change to the quality of my life in such a short space of time. I will use the CD and take what I've learnt from you into my everyday life. It was also a pleasure to get to know you and have a couple of beers, it was all good fun!
Thanks again

Hi Jessica,
Hopefully you got home safely from your fleeting visit to Wharfedale and TEC 18 and that you enjoyed your brief time with us because everyone in the group certainly did. Thank you for an outstanding session with the team and kicking off the year for us in such fine style. Your presentation scored 9.3/10 and 8.7/10 for the value of the session so, well done.
Thanks once again for a great session and I look forward to working with you again in the autumn.
Yours
Richard

Thank you so very much for your efforts with the Group on Tuesday evening and Wednesday.
The marks on the evaluation forms are largely incidental but nevertheless do reflect a session of great value to the individuals. The scores are approximately 90% and that is top slot for this group.
To see *** & ****** open up the way they did was quite something because they have had large amounts of stress in their businesses recently & they were bruised as a consequence.
After you had gone the remainder of the day was quite different from normal. They were emotionally drained but very calm and thoughtful. We tackled issues for two hours, had a break, had a much better dinner from both a location and choice perspective, and they were still doing issues for each other at 10.30 pm. We went through the outcome from the previos evening where they had to choose which member had been at 21,000 feet, was a tap dance teacher, or a motor cross champion and they were stunned by the rich mixture of interests which people had.
A Retreat is a time for the Group members to become more aware about themselves and to get a greater understanding about what makes their colleagues tick. With your help we achieved all that & more. Thank you.

8 9 or 10 says it all so many thanks for again giving the group an excellent session with lots of fun interest and value. The key point was that everyone got lots of value from the morning. That is all a chairman can ask for. Thanks very much indeed and I look forward to seeing you again soon.
Best Wishes

Dear Jessica
Thank you so much for your session yesterday. You will be delighted to know that the average marks were 9.5. - no-one gave below 9!
A great tribute to your skill, ability and passion.
Thank you so much

Dear Jessica,
We got a lot out of your session. Even the
most sceptical commented . . . "suprisingly very good!"
I thought you were terrific and very much look forward to your next session
with my Leaders Forum Group.

“Jessica – your sessions
are always amazing and it is always great to see you!” - Harold Sharples. HS Associates
“This is just a quick
line to express my sincere gratitude for your time
last Thursday and for the effect it has had on me.
You have changed the way I think about myself and
the vision I have for myself, and have given me the
clarity of thought which had previously eluded me.
I now have a yardstick against which I can judge my
actions and which will form the basis of my plans
for the future. This is absolutely priceless.” - I. H. Financial controller. Accountancy firm. (private
client)
“Your session was something
very special. Some of my team have been on to me to
give their thanks for ‘life-changing experiences’
(their words). I thought that it was phenomenal, you
use your abilities with great skill, sensitivity and
intelligence.” - Peter Hills
Chairman ACE group 18 Leaders Forum group 5. Academy
for Chief Executives
“Carry on being an
inspiration to all, you do it so well.” - Lorraine C. (Private client)
“Our philosophy of
"work life balance" has never been better
demonstrated than your visit to our office. Your session
had an unshackling effect on the whole team. The realisation
we all have anchors to deep rooted past experiences
which can limit our day to day potential has been
transformational. As your work is hard to describe,
I had to simply ask my staff to "trust me"
when I recommended you. They did. As a result the
work ethic here has changed from efficient to creative
exciting and rewarding. We have had a £400,000.00
order closed by a sales administrator, before your
visit this same person was intimidated by telephone
calls from buyers! I think we got our money`s worth.”
- Roy Jones MD Vega Corp.Ltd.
"Jessica - you are the angel
who lifted me to my feet when my wings had trouble
remembering how to fly. Thank you." - Tim
Hancock Chief Executive of Roger Hancock Ltd.
“I feel I have to
write to say that you have had, and continue to have
a profound effect on my business life, and my personal
growth. Through your excellent skills, ( which I have
been privileged to see you apply to others to the
same effect ), you have made me believe in myself
and what I am here to accomplish, given me the confidence
to stand tall and believe in my personal worth. I
was so amazed at your effectiveness that when I asked
you to coach my 12 year old son who had had a tough
time due to his long term illness I had my heart in
my mouth as to just what you could achieve. The resultant
change in Andrew's attitude to life, the growth in
his own self esteem was a joy to see and still brings
tears to my eyes to see such a positive change in
a child. Thank you Jessica you are truly exceptional,
I hope you will have a long life as you have so much
to bring to others as you travel through life.”
- Alex Lancashire . A.J. Benson Ltd.
“To create a successful business
and home life you need confidence, balance and the
ability to see things from a different perspective.
I have learnt a lot from Jessica and the process has
always been very enjoyable. If you’re willing
to learn and to challenge yourself then Jessica will
help you to get to where you want to go” - S
V Founding Partner INDUSTRY.
"I met Jessica in a
dark period of my life when my business was a disaster
and colleagues were deserting me. Jessica Richards
is unique in the corporate world. Through her insight
and talent I was able to move forward in a positive
way and I have never looked back. Do not be sceptical
and do
not be afraid of opening up your core thoughts. It
is only by facing your fears you will move on. Jessica
can hold up the mirror so you can see your true self
and make the necessary changes. The Jessica Richards
experience is one that should be compulsory for all
business leaders." - Steve Feery, Livespace
Limited
"We all carry around deep inside
us tensions, blocks and resistances that affect the
way we work and live our lives. Using a unique form
of one to one and group coaching, Jessica has a wonderful
ability to enable people to restore an easy flow of
thoughts, feelings and ideas." - Terry Ingham.MD
Nowhere Ltd.
" I want to thank you
for one of the most impactful and valuable speaker
sessions we have had in nearly four years. In addition
to that it was great that you could join us the evening
before. We really enjoyed your company. Your session
was one of those rare sessions where you actually
discover something really new and profound. The technique
of relaxation really worked for me very powerfully,
to the point where I was still feeling the effects
two days later! Also the fuller experience of looking
at my own issue and accessing the cause we identified
was very powerful. The solution is very simple and
yet I couldn't see it before, and had no way of accessing
it. We had a short discussion in the afternoon and
similar thoughts were being expressed by the guys.
I look forward to hearing of your new session and
will be definitely wanting you to return to us to
take us through it." - Tim Anderson. Chairman
ACE 15. Academy for Chief Executives.
"Totally unprepared for what
to expect I found the session a simple but startlingly
effective and calming way of realigning my sense of
purpose and long term life goals."
EJB
"Wow, what a session!
I know that both you and I went into this with a little
trepidation(3rd meeting of a new group, one new member
and one guest there......) but it worked just as well
as the previous ones with my 'old hands', and got
excellent marks (9s and 10s)
Everyone enjoyed your style
and humour, the relaxation exercise and your overall
presentation. But it was the practical session that
really made us sit up and take notice. The two members
who worked on their issues with you got a tremendous
amount of value from the day, as did those of us who
were privileged to witness the session.
I have spoken to both X
and Y since and they have been rather taken aback
at how powerful and valuable the experience has been
for them (How could so much change have been achieved
so quickly on issues that they have been avoiding/working
around for years?) A great truly life changing day.
Thank you."
Peter Pritchett
Chairman ACE group 5 Leaders Forum group 2. Academy

"I have never changed my mind
so fast and so radically about anyone as when I first
met Jessica Richards in 2001. She was the speaker
at my first meeting of the Academy for Chief Executives
and I was completely sceptical in regards to any benefits
from her presentation
involving hypnotherapy.
At that session and at each of the
subsequent occasions when I have chaired groups to
whom Jessica has presented, her performance in helping
leaders of companies exorcise deep seated problems
has bee nothing short of astonishing. Our North East
Chief executives group
was so impressed that they requested her as speaker
at their retreat only one month after her first presentation
to them.
The feedback forms from the participants
at Jessicas' sessions invariably include a clutch
of the scarce 'awesome' scores and she does it all
with great skill, insight, compassion and humour.
In addition, by challenging me on
a one- to- one basis, Jessica changed my view of myself
and hence the priorities in my life.
Need I say more?"
Nick Jackson
Group Chairman
The Academy for Chief Executives. North east.
Jessica is our most sought
after speaker. She is a brilliant exponent of her
art.
Brian Chernett

"Thanks for my last coaching
session. It's now three weeks since I was
with you and there have been none of my outbursts!
In every situation
I've felt completely in control of my emotions...
Time is a great
healer and I can already see my work relationships
strengthen as my
reactions become more constructive and focused."
Jason Kenworthy. MD SMD Textiles Ltd.
Dear Jessica,
what can I say, you are amazing.
You left me feeling so good that I forgot your card,
the cd, the sheet of tips etc. . . . by the time I
realised I had left the items with you, I was too
far away to return so thanks for sending them on.
As I said at the time, you achieved in 3 hours what
the very talented Tony Robbins failed to do in three
days, and it was in a relaxed, friendly and comfortable
environment.
Thank you. I look forward so much to seeing you again
in January. Have a fab Xmas & New Year.
You are very special & you have a new true believer
in your abilities.
Very best wishes to you Jessica.
Thanks again.
Adrian Pepin
Jessica
Really great session yesterday. Your ability to communicate the subject and to demonstrate how you coach people the way you do is quite outstanding.
The scores speak for themselves - the average was 9.2 (one 10 and the rest 9s).
Many thanks. Kind regards
Tim
What can I say Jess – another fantastic session, thank you!
I don’t think tat I need say any more – I hope that you appreciated the great feedback that the group gave on the day. Well done, you trouper!
See you next month
Regards,
Peter

Hi Jessica,
Just wanted to say thanks again for my 1:1 I have to keep smiling when something happens, and I react totaly differently (or not at all...)
It was a real pleasure seeing you again, and an inspirational couple of days.
Looking forward to seeing you again,
Paul Marshall |
