Inner Success Testimonials

“The Inner Success programme was exactly what I needed in the moment I embarked on the journey. Having read Tara’s articles and her book, I quickly realised how much I had suffered from my own impostor syndrome. I was using so much personal energy to cope with imposter syndrome, regardless of my high performance at ‘C’ level and career leaps forward.

The programme equipped me with tools I can always go back to, I gained resiliency and a much better understanding of myself and my triggers for my impostor syndrome. 

I’m grateful to have completed the programme. Tara was throughout very supportive, patient and adjusted the programme to my personal needs.”

“I recently completed the Inner Success Programme and am so thankful for the tools that Tara has given me to help me gain confidence and believe in myself.

I have seen a huge shift in the 90 days in my ability to handle stressful situations and a quietening of my inner critic.

I was close to quitting my job for something less stressful or less ambitious but now I can see myself thriving.” 

Jason N. Head of Portfolio Management

…

“It was a great pleasure to have worked with Tara.  She has a great coaching disposition; is patient, flexible and non -judgemental, while able to follow through on the important aspects, as she held the mirror for me. 

The Inner Success programme is life-changing and I am inspired by the self-awareness I have developed from the programme. 

This is already making a difference in my relationship with myself and others. 

I feel like I have a new lease of life, as I am now equipped with the tools and understanding to pursue my goals and have more positive and fruitful relationships.”

Elaine W. CEO

“I found myself in a situation where I had some extra time on my hands to do some reflection. All my busy commutes came to a standstill, and being proactive and growth-focused, I pursued Tara’s Inner Success programme.

Inner Success appealed, as it had structure and a timeframe and Tara’s general approach very much put me at ease from the onset, and she absolutely cares and invests in her clients.

The exercises gave me insights into many aspects of my relationships and how others communicate, moments of profound enlightenment too. Tara guided and coached me on track to optimise my learning and growth.

I could feel the personal growth and a sense of being unblocked too. The freedom that could come from this enhanced layer of self-awareness minus the self-doubt was happening in real-time.

The letting go exercises that Tara introduced me too in this programme have been fundamentally life-changing. I managed to let go of emotions from setbacks and I reframed so much of the natural part of growth and being challenged.

Professionally, personally and what happened to my circumstances during and after Inner Success?

Measurably impactful! Oh my!! Matters that seemed mountains have been addressed by getting the help I needed for my business to flourish and accepting that assistance instead of beating myself up for not fitting everything in to my schedule.

I’ve had some great new projects come to fruition since and opportunities seem to be everywhere I look. Most importantly, this art of self-acceptance, putting myself first and finessing a new kind of Emotional Intelligence that’s steeped with self-worth and compassion.

It was great, and I’m doing great too.”

Simon C. Government Consultant

…

“I am a partner in a global professional services firm, and in my role I interact with people at the most senior levels in client organisations.

In doing this I have struggled with my confidence and feelings of self-doubt.
I found myself procrastinating and reluctant to speak up in meetings even when I had something important to say.

These issues made me increasingly stressed as I could feel them holding me back in my professional life and affecting my ability to be present in my personal life.

The Inner Success programme built an understanding of the beliefs and behaviours that had led me to question my worth.
It developed my skills and tools to confront these beliefs and let go of the unhelpful ones.

I feel more confident, able to comfortably move on from events that previously might have knocked my confidence and eaten away at me.

I feel more in control and authoritative with my clients and with my team.

If you are struggling to find the key to unlock your self-confidence and self-worth, I thoroughly recommend Inner Success.”

Stuart N. Partner

…

“The Inner Success programme helped me explore areas of my belief system and behaviours that would previously have gone untouched, and equipped me to overcome habits and thoughts that were limiting my ability to succeed.

Since completing the programme I am more resilient, creative and confident in my ability to progress, through applying the knowledge it has given me”.

Adrian M. CMO

…

“Everything I saw in the videos and read in your book I’m identifying with. It’s an eye-opening experience. It might be the first time in my life I am understanding myself better.”

Darren B.  CEO

…

“I started the program with Tara after my business lost a contract and I had some time to focus on myself.

I’d read up about Impostor Syndrome and had identified it as something I managed, not always very successfully.

Working with Tara over the 8 weeks of the course, the second half of which coincided with me starting a new contract role, meant I not only had the theory and exercises Tara taught me, but was able to apply them in a practical way as I started work with my new clients. 

Tara’s attention to detail and practical tips and approach made all of this possible.

I regularly review my notes from the sessions, have worked out which of the exercises work for me (about 95% of them) and feel much more stable, consistent, and confident in my approach to both business and personal challenges.”

Alan C. COO

…

“I felt I was constantly “faking it” and the next phone call or meeting was going to be my undoing,  

Sleep on a Sunday night was difficult to say the least.

A level of stress accumulated that permeated every aspect of my life. The Inner Success programme got to the underlying issues of these feelings and the perspective they gave me on the world, in effect re-wiring my thought processes to unlock the negative narrative and create a positive and affirmative self-image. 

The more you put into this course the more you get out of it. I dug deep and I now have a life and career free of the stress, negativity and the emotional rollercoaster that imposter syndrome brings.

I cannot recommend Tara highly enough.”

Jim H. Director of Business Development

…

“I can’t say enough how helpful your programme was for me. I will always be grateful to have chosen to invest in myself. 

The Inner Success programme has been the most effective development I’ve undertaken, benefiting both professional and personal life.

I now have practical techniques to manage situations that were previously challenging and I have an outlook that is calm, positive and confident.”

Alistair S. CX Director

…

“Before starting the Inner Success programme, I worked very long hours and felt constantly against deadlines. This was mixed with long periods of procrastination as I was only able to accept perfection from my work and presentations.

Following the programme, I now have time to enjoy time with friends and family. I can allow myself to only prepare to a suitable degree for work and meetings.

This has allowed space for others around me to contribute more.

Feeling much calmer is the new normal for me.

This course is very accessible and Tara is very good in her role! It will, at its simplest, teach you to be more at peace with the work you do and consequently, yourself”

Matt C. Managing Director

…

“I started Inner Success because my self-doubt made me feel like I wasn’t reaching my potential.

The nagging self-doubt is now gone!

It is so good to take this time to examine how you think.”

Andy F.  COO

…

“I had imposter syndrome constantly, which was making me feel very anxious at times, particularly where I was the centre of attention.

I certainly feel more confident now, and less concerned about being in the spotlight.

It was an enjoyable process that has given me some invaluable tools to work with.”

Stefan G. CMO

…

“Before  doing Inner Success, I was frazzled and in a very bad place with my work and some work relationships. I didn’t feel like I was in the right job and I was facing a lot of stress

The process was amazing! I found the structure really good because it allowed me to focus on the weekly tasks both actively with the exercises but also I found that I spent a lot of time internalising and thinking about the outcomes and processes during the week. This was then nicely tied together in the weekly coaching sessions which were often very powerful and sometimes profound.

I am much more relaxed about my work. I feel more empowered and I am on a mission to bring the real me to work every day.

It has been an amazing experience to discover greater freedom.”

Dan J. COO

…

“I decided to do Inner Success because I increasingly freaked out at the prospect of negative feedback, particularly from my direct manager with who I have a longstanding friendship but complicated work relationship. I tended to feel like a failure most of the time and that nothing I did was ever good enough.  Despite being very successful on paper.

I liked the structure of the process. The insights particularly in how our brain works makes acceptance much easier, since you are not just victim to an overboarding mind, but there are “real” tangible effects in and on your body that you can work with.

I found real closure on some emotionally painful topics in the past and found calm in in looking forward, instead of worry.

If you’re thinking of jumping in to do the programme – jump! It’s totally worth it. It’s much more tangible than therapy and even though people might take different things out of it, I’m sure everyone will find something valuable for themselves.”

Leslie W. CDO

…

“Something had to change for me, I needed to feel more in control of what I do and become happier and confident in all aspects of my life but I wasn’t sure what that was at the time.

I always felt like I wasn’t good enough to be in the room, in the role I am in, surrounded by older more experienced Board Members I always felt like an imposter when I sat in executive meetings and it made me feel uncomfortable and embarrassed at times, I felt child-like.

The process was great, it was planned in the right order and was fantastic from beginning to end. The structure was ideal and helped build my confidence and knowledge week on week but did not push too far between learnings.

I feel at ease and like a weight has been lifted. I feel more peaceful within myself and my confidence in myself has increased massively.

There are not enough words to explain how this programme will change your life. Put your trust in Tara, she will help you become the best you and support you every step of the way. It has changed my outlook and helped me in both my professional and personal life.”

Susan Z. COO

…

“I was preparing ahead of a new job and I wanted to dispel my imposter thoughts and behaviours. I had a sense of anxiety when approaching new challenges. Plus persistent thoughts of not being good enough and not deserving of my achievements.

I liked the steady, structured pace of the programme, with chance to really understand the theory behind the practice

I am now so much calmer, with clarity of what drove my imposter behaviours, feeling deep self-acceptance  and I also have the techniques to manage any new challenge with calm confidence.

Trust your judgement – give it a go. It’ll be the push you need.”

Luke P. CTO

….

“I was feeling a lack of confidence and frustrated I couldn’t seem to shift it.

The process allowed me to shed the old belief and the baggage that came with it that was holding me back.

I’m now more able to speak out, more confidence, not hard on myself and enjoying my work immensely.

I would encourage anyone feeling like an imposter, or not worthy of their role, to give this process a try and commit to it. It’s unlike any other coaching process I have been through and way more effective.”

Ed F. Managing Director

….

“My willingness to speak up and express my opinions had been dwindling over a several year period while working at several large corporations. I thought the change in my behaviour was caused by my lack of skills and expertise, and that I wasn’t appreciated because of this despite having been recruited for and holding the most senior role in data.

Most helpful was the way Tara allowed the development and learning process to evolve based on my ability to accept the changes and discoveries we were making.

I can now detect very quickly when I’m off balance and put that in check. I am able to let go of negative reaction to situations as and when they occur. It’s a process that I can now control.

Inner Success has made me feel like me again, wanting to take the lead, share ideas and not feel like my worth is threatened.”

Julie M. CDO

…

“Before Inner Success I was having intense imposter syndrome feelings, making me have irrational feelings of job insecurity.

The belief change process was the most powerful part, hugely transformational!

My biggest shift is self confidence, I just don’t feel the same way I did before. I don’t feel like I have anything to prove or need to “fit” with anything.

I loved working with Tara, and I’m really happy with how it’s enabled not just my work but my life too.

My advice: It’s completely transformative – do it.”

Shelley N. COO

…

“My self esteem was getting low, I had one big project I kept procrastinating and I felt inferiority in relation to my work colleagues. These were making me feel like I want to quit, that I cannot continue to work in this place.

The Inner Success process worked very well for me. I enjoyed Tara’s flexibility to adapt to my rhythm. So many of the exercises were very, very useful to me.

I had lots of improvements, some appearing very subtly in my life: from the disappearance of migraine headaches, to the courage in speaking up, saying no and having my self esteem increased.

It’s changed the way I relate to my colleagues, partner and children in a freer, happier and more comfortable way.”
