Have you ever been bullied?  Do you lack self confidence?  Would you like to know how to stand up for yourself?  This case study tells the story of a young woman who was in your shoes...

I was approached by a young lady, I will call her Susan (not her real name) who had been bullied mercilessly since she was very small.  She wanted some confidence so that she could stand up for herself and start college to study art, her favourite subject.

I coached Susan for 6 sessions, each about an hour over a period of about 8 weeks, and we explored what had caused her to be bullied and what she could do about it, what she could let go of to be able to move on, how to anchor her confidence, how to respond to her bullies and how to move into her new confident life.

Susan particularly enjoyed the visualisation exercises, and what she visualised was amazing.  Not only that, she was able to draw what she had visualised in minute detail and put it on the wall so she could see it every day.

Susan not only managed speaking to the bullies and asking them why they did it, but she got them to apologise to her and to agree not to do it again.

Susan went to college, she stood for the local youth parliament as a candidate - she didn't win but she had the confidence to stand.  She is now ready to leave home and start her own life and is one of my greatest success stories.


I am Maggie Currie, The People Magician, The confidence coach who works wonders.  I trained with Newcastle College, The Coaching Academy, INLPTA and Dawn Breslin Academy.  I have hundreds of hours of coaching experience in the personal and corporate arenas.  I am passionate about coaching and believe that although you can't go back and make a new beginning, you can start today to make a new ending.  

My latest book is in the final proof stage with my publisher and will be on the bookshelves in August 2010.  Look out for it - the title "What you believe creates your reality" - read it and let me know what you think.
