I loved the whole course. I am so much more energised! I now have a great awareness of what energises me and what doesn't which helps me to structure my day better.
I have a much better understanding of my goals and visions for the future and the steps I need to take to achieve them.

Words from real humans
I have gained the awareness of putting in the action (work) to achieve the outcomes I want. I have also had the awareness that I can achieve all of my goals, however there is definitely other ways around achieving the same results via a different method that you might not of initially thought of, working within your strengths and prioritising what's important first. Making attainable goals and putting in the action to achieve those goals.

What results have you gained through coaching?
- More clarity / clear direction.
- More self awareness (in what my strengths are, my saboteurs, etc).
- A clear picture of my Balance - using the Wheel of life / Ikigai exercises (These are really cool little tools to help gain clarity and putting all the thoughts down on paper).

"I connected with Chrystal as I was feeling stuck in a rut, always jumping from one thing to the next and not finding the time or space to create time to slow down. Balance was only something I could dream of between being a mum, working full time, exercising every day and trying to keep everything in order. If it’s not the physical load, it was the mental load."
"I overcame many challenges in the sessions with Chrystal, including creating the time and space to prioritise myself and feel confident to press the reset button. I used to wait until my body gave me signs that I needed to slow down, now I can identify what I need before that point and focus on what is important.

I love the flexibility, the creativity, the insight and Chrystal’s ability to hold space for me to work through what I needed to. She always enabled me to reflect and find the answers within, whilst guiding me with her knowledge and experience. The group session was really helpful too, being able to share ideas and connect with others."
"I can honestly say this program was life changing. I know it may sound extreme, but trust me, I have taken so much from our sessions that I implement on a daily basis, including habits that have now formed part of my new routine. I am able to breathe and focus on self care, always working towards creating calm and balance in my life. It is such a good feeling and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to engage in this program."

The module focussed on boundaries was of most value to me, because quite frankly I didn't have enough of them. I am now able to voice my boundaries and feel the benefits to my wellbeing of establishing and sticking to them.
After this program, I feel ready, excited and driven to go after the life and career I want!

Honestly this course with you has really helped me kick off into some exciting things!
I really loved writing the letter to myself. I've connected so deeply with the emotions attached to this letter - I cannot wait to read it again in December.

A highlight of the Life By Design program for me was learning about safe problems & risky truths. Also, diving into my core values. And I loved writing a letter to myself!
As a result of the program, I feel like I have a renewed energy for my career - now & future planning. I am feeling confident & positive about going after the life & career I want.

"I reached out to Chrystal for helping preparing my CV and cover letter. I wanted to apply for a job that was a really big career move for me.
I was feeling out of my depth. I knew Chrystal has an amazing way with words, particularly around self-promotion, so I asked her for support.
Her help with writing my application made it more succinct and clear to the reader.
This application won me an interview!"

Tal
"After securing an interview for a position I felt out of my depth for, I enlisted Chrystal for help preparing.
I had 1:1 personalised interview coaching with Chrystal. She pulled apart the position description & asked me mock questions that were thought provoking & made me reflect deeply on my career so far.
Chrystal helped me to listen to what the questions were asking for to ensure that I answered them. She gave me feedback about the structure of my responses & helped me match my examples.
Importantly, she reminded me to breathe & take my time in formulating my response."
"I loved how honest & supportive Chrystal was. She gave me quality, critical feedback at every step of the recruitment process.
I now have an updated (and attractive) CV and cover letter for when future opportunities arise.
After Chrystal's coaching, I feel so much more confident to promote my strengths & back myself in challenging interview situations.
I am so, so glad I enlisted Chrystal's support & am so grateful for her brilliance. She is a natural, and her experience in this space was invaluable."

“I was so overwhelmed when it came to writing my resume. I found Chrystal and knew this was what I needed. Now when looking at my resume I am very proud of my achievements and I am so happy to put my resume forward for any job. I love that it is totally editable so I can adapt to different jobs if needed.
“With my wonderful resume I have secured a job interview in a very competitive application process. I feel confident going in to the interview that I can use my cover letter and resume to highlight my skills during the interview...”

"I really appreciate Chrystal taking the time to review my resume. Her suggestions were great and helped me refresh my resume to hopefully help improve my competitiveness in future job applications. Now looking at my resume, I feel the document flows better and highlights my skills and experience more.
It can be tricky to find the time in our busy lives to review our own resumes, but with Chrystal's support and guidance, I have been able to update my resume to make it more suitable for application processes of today.
Chrystal was extremely helpful and supportive. She showed genuine interest in me as a person and helped me showcase my skills and experience to future employers. Thank you Chrystal."

"I just wanted to tell you how valuable I found the Extended DISC analysis. I haven't stopped going back and re-reading it. It's given me so much clarity & validation on many things. I was reluctant at first, thinking it may just be another online quiz, but it's provided me with so much insight. I can attribute this past week's breakthrough absolutely to the Extended DISC behavioural profiling & our last coaching session. It's been a really great week!"
EXTENDED DISC BEHAVIOURAL PROFILING
Meagan
"My eDISC session with Chrystal was so insightful! I learned about some of the strengths that I have that I never realised. I realised that the career that I'm in and the path I want to take into the future are very much in alignment with my personality profiling so that was really great to see! Can't recommend an eDISC unpack enough for such guidance and reassurance!"

"This analysis helped me to accept myself more, and to stop thinking that something was wrong with me. It was interesting and I learned new things about myself. It's like my own personalised user manual!
The traits and motivators associated with the D energy are helpful for my work (running my own business) so I've been thinking how I can use more of my natural D energy. Understanding my natural profile boosted my confidence when it comes to being my own boss!"

Andrea
“I was curious to explore more about myself and decided to sign-up for the Extended-Disc Profiling offered by Chrystal (Balance HQ). The unpack session conducted by Chrystal was phenomenal! E-Disc is such a powerful tool as I am now aware of what exactly motivates and demotivates me and most importantly, the areas that I would need to focus on and develop. It also made perfect sense as to why I was always feeling unhappy, exhausted and unaligned with my past career. I am even more convinced that the path I am on now is fully in tune with my natural tendencies and captain energies!”

The best way to know if coaching is right for you or not is to have a chat to your potential Coach. I offer a free chat for this purpose, so we can get to know each other, I can find out what your challenges/goals/needs are, and you can decide from there.
