Testimonials

Isabel, your consulting was right on point. I thought I went into see a Dr with a problem and you gave me wings with no prescription, but just what the Dr ordered. My speech I wrote literally right after our session carried the right message “from the heart” as you said and many members after the event came and congratulated me. Thank you. Your professional listening skills and assessment of the situation was a real success. Much appreciated.

I found Isabel during a challenging time in my career, when I suddenly became the interim head of product and had to lead our team through a difficult organisational change. My initial coaching goals were practical, mainly centering around how to do a job I felt completely unprepared for and not messing up the next 6 months. Isabel helped guide me through this period and I emerged more confident in my abilities. What I am most grateful for however, are the new ways to understand myself, others and the world. All of which has manifested in better habits, a greater sense of empowerment and agency, and feeling more content in life. Isabel is astute in her observations and has an uncanny ability to help you connect the dots and have those ‘aha moments’ where your perspective shifts. She does this with humour, compassion, and infectious energy. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a holistic way to become a better leader at work and in life. 

I am a “doubter-turned-believer” in Leadership Coaching. I am grateful that my friend connected me with Isabel during the time when I needed to find clarity in my career and my life.

Through Isabel’s coaching, I have developed a better sense of who I am, how I think, and what I value. Isabel taught me an invaluable lesson on becoming aware of my “3 brains” and the way they interact with each other. I now know the feeling of having achieved clarity, which is the key to reaching peak performance. I also comprehend when I do not have clarity or when my 3 brains are not aligned and how to adjust.

I have also learned various self-check exercises to stay focus and on track. The lessons learned will benefit me for the rest of my life.

“Dear Isabel,

I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your input and contribution to the MTCD Management Retreat.  You provided very good insights and have given my team quite a bit of food for thought on navigating change but more importantly that change is not an event but an intrinsic part of management and its needed if we want our teams to grow and remain relevant.  I received lots of good feedback and more importantly it was really great for me to see how the team was weaving what you presented in their inputs for their respective work plans and key initiatives that they have to work on this year.  There was a lot of focus on the people and developing capacity and this resonates my constant mantra of making sure that you not leaving anyone on the platform.  

Once again Isabel thank you so much and also for being available at such short notice.  Both me and the team benefited a lot from your input.”

Almost 3 years ago, the Universe sent me an angel. Her name is Isabel Valle. When I first met Isabel, I was battered, bruised and probably at the lowest point in my life. Life had no meaning. It was everyone’s fault that I was feeling so miserable and depressed.

Isabel and I would meet once a week for face to face meetings during this time. But she moved away to Bangkok after a few months of us starting our coaching sessions. I didn’t think Skype appointments would work but I must say, that it really hasn’t affected the quality of her coaching or what I’ve been getting out of the sessions with her.

It is fantastic to be able to do Skype now cos I don’t have to travel to go see her and she doesn’t have to make room to accommodate me in her home. And even when Isabel and I were away on holiday, we were still able to have our coaching sessions when it was necessary, from afar. It works perfectly for us.

Meeting Isabel is the best thing that has ever happened to me. It is as if I had come out of a coma, and I am now awake. Awakened to my own consciousness. Awakened to who I am. Awakened to my mind that had me trapped for so long. I am nowhere near who I was 3 years ago. I am still a work in progress but now I know.

Isabel asks the tough questions and she makes you connect with your inner self. She has taught me how to identify when the mind has taken over and when the heart is doing the talking. This differentiation has been one of the most important tools that I have right now because it helps me work through the maze of my thoughts, decisions and issues. It provides me more clarity. It has helped me make decisions based on my inner truth and not on my ego, or what my mind makes it out to be.

This journey with Isabel has had so many ups and downs but I’d say, more ups than downs. But it is a worthwhile journey for which I will forever be grateful.

Isabel is an exceptional coach. Her awareness, sense of humour and keen intuition kept me moving forward–toward the best version of myself. Throughout our time together, I made measurable progress in reaching my goals which is, I think, the defining measure of a great coach. Without a doubt, when I need another perspective or help moving through some major challenge in my life, I will choose Isabel.

The ASM Management Team finished our Accelerated Leadership Program with Isabel Valle yesterday after a brief break due to Covid. It was great to get a deeper level of knowledge, training and appreciation for leadership in the 21st century. It was a welcome break from the office having the ability to do offsite training days like these without interruptions. Also a great team building day I feel. For anyone looking for some coaching and leadership training I could not recommend Isabel enough.

Isabel was recommended by a very good friend of mine, during a time that I was feeling a bit stuck in a crossover. I had never done any sort of coaching before, and to be very honest, I had no idea what to expect. Our energies matched from day one, and all I knew is that I owed it to myself to give it a shot. Working with her has had a huge impact in my life, both in my personal development as well as in my career. She knows when to hold space for growth, but also when to nudge you towards your goals. Her ability to see your personality traits and values and bring out the best part of you and also how to express it in what you do was really what captivated me the most. I’m so glad to have given myself the gift of working with her – if you are considering it, don’t hesitate. You are worth it.

Dear Isabel,

Thank you so much for the wonderful coaching sessions. They were nothing but amazing, I found. I cannot find the right words to describe just how wonderful and meaningful these sessions were to me professionally and personally.

Most importantly, I want to thank you for your time to meet with me and to help me to better know myself and my capabilities. With you I have really learnt to take time to reflect on things to understand what I can do and what I want to do, and to believe in myself more. Thank you so much, you have been so inspirational to me, so these days I really keep thinking about you and all your advice when I need to take actions at work and in life.

United Nations Leader, Spain

The 3 sessions I had with Isabel were nothing but amazing. She guided me to connect the work-related issues with the resources I didn’t know I had deep within myself. These were very empowering experiences for me. Her ability to ask very pertinent questions to me that I was not able to ask myself. These key questions led me to discover solutions. I was very impressed by and extremely grateful for her to ask me these key questions. The solutions found during the sessions were immediately implementable and actionable.

Afer 3 sessions with Isabel, I received great encouragement from her and found confidence in me (with her help and guidance!) that I will be able to face other, possibly more difficult work-related issues in the future. I am convinced that having a great coach to walk alongside you can help me to continue improving leadership/managerial ability.

Yuko, United Nations, ESCAP Thailand

I was going through a particularly challenging time professionally. Nothing I did seemed to work and I just could not quite put my finger on why so I decided to invest in a coach. By chance I was able to meet Isabel in person as her meetings are often online. I was a rambling mess in the first meeting. I was so stressed but not ready to give up. I instantly felt supported and like someone was on my team. We met weekly for 3 months and every week was significant. As we built trust Isabel challenged me not only professionally but personally. Her guiding advice was you need to find your true authentic leadership style that can be adapted in any environment. She was right on so many levels, I hadn’t built a solid foundation. Through many self discovery sessions I was able to discover what I was and what I was not. This takes some honesty and ownership and is still a journey. When our sessions came to an end it felt sad but stangely right. I grew so much and can honestly say the impact of Isabel’s support was life changing. Recommend 100%. Isabel goes where you want to go and just that little bit further so you can discover your magic and everyone has magic to discover. Thank you Isabel.

Isabel has been the secret ingredient to a successful launch of my new holistic healing business.

With her special blend of enthusiasm, inspiration and experience, Isabel guided me through a profound personal journey that took me from merely wanting to fulfil a dream of being a healer with little idea of how to realise it, through to launching my healing business on a solid foundation of practical business strategies and impactful marketing tools. With Isabel’s wealth of marketing expertise and business mentorship, I have been able to grow my business much faster and more effectively, especially as I still carried the memories of a previously failed business when I began this time.

Along the way she helped me to perceive the value of my offerings, and to overcome my blockages to abundance and putting myself “out there”.

Thank-you Isabel for an amazing journey!

I was doing coaching for a while, when I noticed I was stuck with some topics that I felt more comfortable to discuss with a woman than a man. I was in one of my worst moments, when I decided that I want to try and was in a very nice group of coaches that I found Isabel. I clicked with her automatically, I loved her personality and the way she expressed herself about coaching. We talked and we started the sessions. OMG it was incredible the way she handled all my dramas and difficulties of that time. I had many deep issues that she handled beautifully and helped me to come out of the hole and back to life again. She helped me to become the coach that I’m today, she believed in me all the way and mentored me in the moments that I most needed; she walked beside me through the tough times and helped to build my confidence to the point that I can inspire others. My writing was never good to express myself, but I hope this referral will be a clear message for you, she is an amazing professional and I hope that you, who are reading this now, will have a chance to try her services.

Our three sessions felt like a week! So much happened. I was transitioning into a new career and felt very insecure about how to rebrand myself and show up impactfully in the industry. Following our coaching, in my first roadshow, I was offered to join a project series based on a book about Bangkok. I also received interest about filming a documentary and a feature film about gemstones, which I’m developing right now. Aside from generating great interest about my new line of work, the biggest outcome I got out of this experience is the confidence about myself! I can easily approach people and tell them about myself and my projects. And I’m super grateful for your support in boosting it Isabel!

While this was not my first coaching programme in UN, this has been the first time I really felt the coach was useful and helping me to progress on my goals.  Isabel was able to ask me the right questions that triggered the right emotions and reflections to improve on the topics we discussed. She was able to use the active listening and ask the right questions that made me react and reflect. The tools that Isabel gave me will help me on my day to day and strategic work. After the coaching sessions I am more efficient on how I manage my time and the team strategic communication. 

United Nations Leader, Spain

Isabel is intuitive, encouraging, nurturing and challenging. She was able to balance encouragement with challenge and was always on point. What I learnt from being coached by Isabel is to trust my instincts. My life is extraordinary after Isabel’s coaching.
She is an exceptional coach. I would highly recommend her and I have already. Her ability to challenge in a supportive way, to use her intuition to address what really needs addressing is amazing.

Isabel is a superb coach with the ability to open and relieve your mind and deal with the complex issues of leadership and personal performance. With her guidance and exceptional knowledge Isabel has transformed the way I process information enabling me to be a more creative and dynamic leader. I now approach my colleagues with improved confidence with a focus on empowering them who in turn empower me and ultimately move me forward to “simplifying” end enhancing my life.

Isabel has a wonderful ability to truly listen and hear you. She builds a safe container and is able to challenge you look further, deeper, higher and stretch. But hold you safely. During our coaching sessions I noticed that my overwhelm and emotions subsided to a place that I could begin to make sense and then use them as a springboard to move. This was the power of her coaching. I felt like a trapeze artist and she was the safety net calmly holding the space for me. I am so grateful to have been coached by Isabel, she came into my life just when I needed her. She was gentle but powerful, She listened and asked powerful questions. And I was able to stand up and face the war. Amazing coach, I would recommend to anyone.

Molly Kain, ICF PCC Coach, South Africa

Isabel is a wonderful energetic coach. She really worked very well with my energy and rhythm. She was a wonderful champion of me and helped me develop my ideas by reflecting back my words and use of metaphor. She has inspired me and motivated me to speak my truth and has held me accountable to write my story, to bridge the gap between the past and the future by really bringing me fully into the now. I always left our sessions uplifted with a renewed sense of purpose and energy. Isabel works as a coach on many different levels. She is fantastic at noticing moods and energy shifts and created a magic in our sessions that led me to connect with my purpose again. Thank you for holding the space for me to explore some difficult parts of myself. Isabel coaches with grace and ease and the time I shared with her has been powerful and significant for me.

Julie Rice, ICF MCC Coach, Australia

Isabel is full of positive energy and lightness. She sees the big picture and asks powerful questions that help you forward. I loved how Isabel always saw the bigger picture and asked me to make the connection to where I am now. Even though I thought that I have been through every aspect, she saw that there was still something brewing that needed addressing. As a result of our time together, I was able to understand what was holding me back and find the enthusiasm and lightness to start and finish projects that I had been postponing for a long time. Isabel helped me connect my bigger picture to the next steps effortlessly and with enthusiasm. I also learned how effective positivity, curiosity and acknowledgement are!

A Testimonial Letter to Global Room

The measure of a good speaker is whether or not she could keep the audience engaged for the duration of the talk. The measure of a great speaker, on the other hand, is whether or not she could spark the audience to take action long after the talk is over. It has been three weeks after Ms Isabel Valle coaching session with our team. One of the staff members resigned yesterday. The others who remained, the energy they possessed has been somewhat different since the training. They are more focused, excited and purposeful when they step into the office.

What Isabel instilled in us was a set of principles in finding our own direction and learning how to see the trees from the woods. Perhaps it was the same reason why our staff resigned; to search for her true calling.

Being professional aside, Isabel struck a chord with so many of us because she didn’t just give us case studies; the stories Isabel shared were straight from her heart with true convictions, you simply cannot fake authenticity. Her experiences from her rich corporate background gave her the depth and credibility- especially when it came to Q&A, and her personal triumph against her physical setback inspired us all to climb higher.

With this testimony, I don’t think I am just speaking for myself, not am I merely speaking on behalf of my teammates. But all those audiences who’ve been lucky enough to be coached by Isabel can testify to this.

For those looking for an Executive Coach to transform your company, I cannot provide a higher recommendation.

Gratefully,

There’ a time in your life

When the world is on your side

You might not feel it

You might not see it

But it surrounds you like a light

Makes you stronger for the fight

Never letting go, believe in yourself.“

This is the result of coaching with Isabel . She helped me remove the fog in front of me to become myself. But also understand my operation and move forward without wasting time now . The chrysalis has become a butterfly.

Isabel is an amazing coach and mentor with immense energy to give and full dedication to her clients. She generously shares from her extensive expertise whilst mentoring you. I really enjoyed every single one of our sessions together. Whilst she helped me find my niche and develop my brand and business proposition as a business owner, she also empowered me to reconnect with my authentic self and express myself freely. I highly recommend Isabel to those who are trying to develop their business and find their true self.

Isabel Valle…. An angel sent to me when I was at my most desperate. From anger and resentment to peace (there are still ups and downs), acceptance and tools to deal with what is going on around me, these are the wonderful gifts I have received from Isabel.
Isabel was always listening, asking questions that made me shuffle in my seat (on a weekly basis), guiding me, comforting me, holding me when I couldn’t hold myself together anymore. So many lessons learnt from Isabel. She is the voice I still hear in my head, probing me to think, breathe, focus before I react. I always remember “gremlins”, “my responsibility”, “lessons will be sent until I have learn them”!
I am a better person now because of her. She let go of my hands after six months because she believes that I can do it on my own now. She has more belief in me than I could ever have for myself.
She is never about the money, she’s always about the heart. Her heart is always 100% there when she is speaking to me, her listening is always 100%, her questions are always 100% TO THE POINT!
I have learnt to ask myself the same types of questions she would ask me, to challenge all my previously held (perhaps misconceived) notions and paradigms. She has made me aware of the importance of listening to others and understanding the real person whom I am listening to.
The human person isn’t just a physical form but a combination of the spiritual and emotional form as well. I get it now! It makes sense now! It is a concept that is so hard to explain. Isabel never lectures, she never forces me to “Get it!” because I couldn’t. She knew exactly when I needed to hear certain things and would say them at exactly that time. This idea of a complete human form had to be experienced. Isabel helped me do that and I “got it”! I must say that this is one of the biggest revelations of my life and probably the start of my own journey towards transformation.
Because of Isabel, I now try to do my small part to make changes in the lives of teenagers, albeit in small ways. As Isabel always says, just plant the seed, some day it will be used.
Isabel has been truly a God send to me. I cannot even begin to imagine where I will be without her. She gave me the confidence and the tools to continue in life. Most importantly, she gave me the courage to search for my own happiness and my own place in the world. It is a journey that I hope I will learn to enjoy and keep getting better at. Isabel has been the instigator of my journey towards transformation. I know she will continue to make changes in small but wonderful ways wherever she is in the world.

Sophia Lim, Education organisation Director, Brunei Darussalam

If you have reached the point in your life when you realise you want to change your life one way or the other, seeing a coach is the answer.  I had heard of coaches before, but never thought it could help me or that I needed one to truly believe and discover what I wanted to do in my life. Isabel has been a fantastic person who gave me a complete different perspective on coaching, and has really helped me on my journey. I would recommend Isabel to anyone! I miss going to see her already!

Thanks again.

Coaching was a bit of an unknown entity to me and I really wasn’t sure what to expect when I had my first session with Isabel. Hocus Pocus? Counselling? I really didn’t know, just thought it sounded “interesting”!

That was six months ago and I’m now 24 sessions down and can’t recommend Isabel highly enough. The experience has been nothing short of amazing and the growth and knowledge I have about myself and what I’m capable of is wonderful.

Her ability to tap into and bring out the best in a person is remarkable. Not only did we spend some time on my strengths, but also most importantly developing my own mind weaknesses. I have seen my imagination stretched and those thoughts turned into dreams, which have in turn been made goals, which are, now being achieved faster than I ever thought possible.

Both my personal and professional lives are thriving and I feel more confident and stronger than ever.

Thank you Isabel, you have a natural ability to help people grow and I have loved every minute of it, thank you for helping me get to where I am and I look forward to going further in the future! I’m not finished yet!

Isabel was more than I expected from a coach. Not only did she support me on my journey, she challenged me where necessary and listened to me when needed. She let me laugh and rant, complain and celebrate and was always there at the end. Her personality and coaching style fitted me perfectly and anyone else has some big shoes to fill. She is your biggest supporter and you feel sincerity in her believe in you. Nothing is forced or played, and you feel very comfortable for the start. I would highly recommend working with Isabel as her added value to anyone is indescribable.

I am so honoured to have you as my coach. You have brought about such change in me. You have pushed me to places I was reluctant to explore in order to release my best self. Most importantly, you get it, you actually get it! No one else has understood fully the far-reaching implications of coaching, especially in an area like this one. Even my family and closest friends do not understand why I’m coaching and how it fits into how I want to see the world. So thank you for understanding and for pushing me to the core. “

Isabel is a POWERFUL laser coach who walked with me through the chaos of my life and career and helped me pinpoint exactly where I needed to go. She really held me accountable for my action and inaction and inspired me to live my dreams. She exhibits all the abilities any coach should have and so much more. I would recommend Isabel to anyone who truly wants results. 

Dear Isabel, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate what you are doing with your coaching. What I have learnt from you is invaluable, changes are dramatic and I am honestly surprised that I feel like the real woman has emerged!!

Thank you for listening, chatting and sharing with me your thoughts and spirituality. I wish you many blessings in the future. Many many thanks. “

KK – a truly remarkable soul on her path to make this world a better place with a clear sense of inner peace and happiness.

“I am writing this to share my deepest gratitude and respect for her efforts and intentions in helping me to change. I’m proud to say that CHANGE will not be a hard word for me now because of the transformation assisted from her. It was a great experience!!

Working with her had opened up opportunities that could never be reached with others. Uniquely, the time and effort spent for my attention from her was beyond expectation. Her inspirational commitment, leadership ability, and considerable personality in those sessions were unquestionable. Being able to assist leaders to become firm and flexible at the same time is one of her great strengths in those coaching sessions.

She is very motivated, a great learner and listener, and a person who respect people’s opinion in any ways possible regardless of her clients’ backgrounds and beliefs. Her involvement was amazingly without doubt, always focused mainly in leading people to make great decisions in life and potentially help others achieve their best throughout the own strengths and weaknesses.

She is non–judgmental, inspirational, and determined for any potential leader that she develops to go forward. A very motivated coach who helps people be focused to reach their goals with confidence and accountability. An experience that can never be acquired by others without her words of wisdom and emotional intelligence.

She changed me into a person that I could never imagine to be and helped me be that person I chose to be and the person that I am now!!… And it was a great opportunity to work things that influenced my surroundings into a positive community and ongoing success. It made a huge impact in everything that I do!!!

I am proud to be in those memorable, meaningful and measurable (realistic goals) sessions that have influenced my work and life routines for the past 3 months. She is a person who is equipped with authenticity, honest and flexibility, being able to be genuine in her opinions and beliefs. She has the ability to make learning reflective and significantly meaningful with relation to real experiences. Clients admire her realistic and honest acknowledgments she shared, and they see her as an idol of success and door of opportunities.

The completion of the sessions turns out to be the beginning of more successes for my future endeavours. I highly recommend her for a global coach for leadership and self development, as she can help you reach beyond your limits, with her positive energy and her coaching style. She is a great leader herself and she will lead you through thick and thin to reach your goals collaboratively towards success.

Coaching with Isabel Valle:

The truth is that I was not convinced about the coaching value before I started.  I also thought that it was not for me, I considered myself just too pragmatic. But I decided to give a try because at that time, I seriously needed someone to help me tidying up my messy daily schedule.

Being an expat for eight years involved with many freelance projects and a family of four, I was starting to loose my self-confidence. I had the feeling that I was sinking when I met Isabel Valle. I had two big on going projects and I felt completely stuck with anger, disappointment and many other emotions. I was always looking for some kind of gratefulness that I never reach.

I was only expecting Isabel to help me organising my life in a very practical way. I also asked her to be supportive. I was ready to pay someone just to hear that I was doing great! It sounds pathetic but it’s true. She made so much more. She managed to understand my hidden leadership and to get rid of my dark side. She brought back my lost confidence. Isabel simply helped me to think in a different way.

Every session, I had the feeling that she hit the nail right in the head. With simple conversations and some great ideas, she empowered me so much that my whole mental world changed. She gave me the tools I always had inside me but I never used.

She also helped me to regain my assurance regarding my parenting. Because I was lost in this lack of esteem crisis, I found it really hard at that time to deal with my two boys (4 and 8). In this area, she also gave me amazing tips to regain my authority. I am not lying : from one fortnight to another, our whole family atmosphere went up side down! And we are all much more happier now. It’s priceless.

It has been six months since I stopped my coaching session with Isabel Valle and there is not one single I don’t use one or several of her “fabulous mental tip”. I will definitely recommend her coaching session.

I had 6 sessions with Isabel as part of my Peer Coaching exercise. Even though the coaching duration short, I learnt a lot. She helped me to realize my goals and streamline the same. The Core values exercise I have done gave me a lot of insight within me. It was a great experience. With simple ideas she helped me monitor the food I take and that helps me to focus on my goal of staying fit. I originally felt that I couldn’t coach people on several areas like financial planning etc… She helped me remove that mental block and helped me to get more clarity. I will continue use the metaphor she gave me that is “The Driver and the Navigator” whenever I am struck with any mental blocks. Thanks Isabel for those 6 wonderful sessions…

“Over the 12 weeks I learnt I can use my personal skills to get the career in Occupational Therapy I want. I realize now that I do have skills and life experiences to guide and help people in the way I want to. Before Isabel I never heard of Occupational Therapy or that it would mold so well with my ‘talents’. I am 100% committed now to get to where I need to be with regards to my career and before I started coaching I was so confused as I what I wanted to be and how to get it. A surprise for me was how well I took to the visualization techniques and how much I enjoyed them. I have never meditated until I met with Isabel and she has shown me how quick, easy and how much it can help my mind. I will definitely continue with these techniques.

I would like to say a massive thank you to Isabel for her patience and kind words. We discussed some very personal and emotional things and she never passed judgement or did I have ever feel judged. The 12 sessions were like a big breath of fresh air and I felt within that hour I could say or do anything. Isabel made me feel very comfortable and also very special as an individual, as I have previously said she told me my talents are not the norm and not everyone would want to care, nurture and give love to people outside the family network. Without Isabel I would not know what I have truly been destined to do with my life and how to get there. I owe this to Isabel and will always be grateful for her friendship. Thank you again Isabel.”
