I had Rainbow as a coach for a handful of sessions. Rainbow was really easy to talk to and I appreciated how clearly she could convey complex concepts. She introduced to me new mental tools and behavioural awareness in illustrative ways that made it super easy to grasp the ideas and quickly start utilising them in my work life. I was left with a lot of good insight to digest after every session with Rainbow, and I would recommend her as a coach without hesitation.
Rainbow Chow is a very special coach! She is not only highly skilled in professional coaching, but she has a way of sharing positive energy into the conversation that a client is able to use to build and work themselves out of anything. I have been her client for one month now and already I feel I have mental barriers broken down and I am more empowered to embark on the journey that has seemed out of reach for me before. I have better clarity of thought even my creativity that had been blocked is more free flowing. I would gladly recommend her for the role of a coach. Thank you Rainbow.
All employees deserve to get an attentive, committed and improvement focused coach, and all businesses deserve to get improvement from investing their employees. This coaching experience delivered on both those things - it’s the easiest decision you can make
The six sessions I had with my ECC Coach changed my perspective of coaching. I was initially uncertain (and possibly sceptical) about the benefits of coaching but my coach read me very well and knew when to coax a response out from me by being encouraging and when to firmly push me to see the benefits of reframing some of my previously held positions.
I found my ECC coaching sessions incredibly valuable – for the unique and necessary space I was seeking as a sole proprietor to feel heard, understood and connected to a peer in business. My coaching experience provided a safe space where I could be the real me, and provided a relationship I could truly trust. Thank you ECC.
