Damon Theobold TestimonialSmoking Cessation

Just a short note to thank you for changing my whole life, and to congratulate you in curing me of a 17 year old habit that has been eating away at my health.   Just by chance I was fortunate enough to win a free session with you and at first; I must admit I was sceptical on what you could do for me. By chance we arranged a one to one at your home and it was following this meeting that I realised what a powerful ability you have.  You asked me how I would like to use my free session and I could not answer that question. You suggested that I used it to give up smoking, and I laughed and said it could not be done. I said I was happy smoking, you told me you could prove me wrong. AND YOU DID. After a life changing 2 hour session with you, I am proud to say that I am now a NON-SMOKER and have been for 13 months.

• No more standing outside in the cold in the morning smoking an unwanted fag.
• No more kids telling me I smell of smoke
• No more getting out of breath when I run/walk down the road.
• No more bad breath.  On behalf of my family and I and would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving my life. Without you I would still be ignorant, instead of facing up to my demons!!  THANK YOU.  Damon Theobald

“I met Lis through our mutual interest in presenting and training. Lis is a very powerful woman of the utmost integrity. She applies a wide range of skills, life experience, razorsharp insight and big humility to her projects. With Lis on board, you’re in safe hands.”

Inspirational

Before I saw Lis, I would have described myself as confident, level headed, outgoing, organised and I had a full life. I went to Lis for help getting over a break up, but I got so much more. I am back to my happy, positive self – but areas that I didn’t think needed addressing got covered.

Lis invites you to apply logic to day to day situations you find yourself in, work out what’s missing from the ideal, from that – work out what you want to achieve, you’ll realise that those things are manageable and with some of Lis’ simple tricks you can really stick to attaining each of them. You really can do anything.
Lis said : “You know, ‘to inspire’ is literally to take a breath. Isn’t that brilliant? You can get inspired everytime you breath!”

I have never met any other person that can leave you so relaxed, focussed, excited and … inspired. And I cannot thank her enough. C T, Berkshire

Empowering Experience

What can I say about Lis? Lis is wonderful to work with because she recognises and respects the individual and their life experiences.  Many people speak of empowering others, many remark on how important it is to be who you truly are, yet rarely do they mean it. However, that is not the case with Lis. Her ability to empower is remarkable and I am very pleased to have taken the opportunity to work through my confusions with her.   One thing that I appreciated was that I could laugh and really be myself. I would realise something about an event or my behaviour and just find myself laughing. To be able to look at something that has seriously been hampering my life and just laugh is liberating.  Liberating is how I would describe time spent with Lis. You cannot be certain of what you will unearth but you can be sure that whatever it is Lis will help you polish it into a real gem, a true facet of who you are. With Lis’s support and encouragement I was able to shift my perspective and really get myself back on track. Ambitions have ceased to be ‘pie-in-the-sky’, I am no longer walking in circles and I am back in touch with my life. TB, Berkshire

I am writing this letter to thank you for the inspiration, support and motivation your recent coaching sessions have given me.
As the owner of a small business with a busy schedule, it is so easy to burn out and become ineffective.  I felt the need to get myself back in tip top condition to be able to focus on my business and get through these difficult times.  Your sessions have done just that and more. I feel relaxed and in control of my destiny and able to achieve both my personal and professional goals.   I am very pleased to recommend you to friends and colleagues who will benefit from your calm and professional approach in helping them to achieve their own particular goals.

Spider Phobia

I approached Lis a few weeks ago because of my spider phobia, following an informal chat Lis realised that spiders were not really the problem. The real problem was a lack of self-confidence and following our first meeting I was literally bouncing (a bit like Tigger!), full of confidence and eager to put into practice what we had discussed. Lis encouraged me to step outside of my comfort zone and re-assess the way I feel about myself. This has been a real wake-up call for me and where I used to really dread public speaking and cold calling, Lis has helped me overcome this and now I’m really looking forward to my next challenge, speaking on stage to a room of BNI directors at the next conference in Amsterdam in April. Thank you so much Lis.

As a business coach I meet with Lis on a regular basis to discuss and share ideas, I always look forward to meeting with her, she has an ability to communicate in such a way that I am sure any resistance to discuss something would simply melt away. I would recommend Lis to anyone who would benefit from sharing a challenge or more serious issue. However, be prepareded to thoroughly enjoy the experience as well as benefit!”

Phobia about Flying

“Before coaching with Lis I used to dread impending holidays because of my fear of flying. Hypnotherapy has really been a life changing experience and I am already planning holiday for years in advance in far off destinations that I would have never considered before.   Lis has also helped me to realise that other goals are also achievable and by leaving our comfort zones we can enhance our personal and business lives.   If you have any phobias that you want to banish forever I highly recommend Lis Allen.  Tony Gibbs

Rebuilding my life.

Eighteen months ago I suffered a severe stroke and rehabilitation has been slow and difficult, both physically and emotionally.  Lis quickly identified my needs and then set about guiding me.  Lis is full of empathy and is very positive in her reasoning.  Whatever my problems, she always helps me to set clear, meaningful goals and by the end of each session I am full of enthusiasm and optimism, and ready to meet the challenges which we have identified together. Lis has become a true friend and valuable guide in my attempt to re-build my life in very traumatic circumstances, and my progress is largely due to her skills and character.
