Customer Reviews
Beats having a coach hands down
I spent £000s on a coach. We scratched the surface of what I’ve done since discovering this podcast, podsheets, PodPlus, and of course the books from Helen and Sarah. And it’s all FREE. Not even a donation / membership. The richness of the topics covered is the best personal development I’ve received and I worked at a very good firm where they gave us brilliant resources. I can’t recommend setting your schedule up for Tuesday (listen to the Podcast), Wednesday (work through the pod sheet), Thursday (PodPlus) and borrow some brilliance from these amazing women!
Changed my life
I’ve worked in Customer Services for 12 years in my industry and I’m about to do a career pivot into a more tech role and I never would’ve thought this was possible without this podcast. So so grateful to have found you - 110 episodes in!
Helping me to become a better person as a whole through their inspiring work
Can’t rate this podcast high enough. The work by Sarah and Helen and all the team behind Amazing If is invaluable. From the topics, to the quality of the materials produced, their warmth and sense of humour. This podcast and all the other resources they share on their LinkedIn, website, YouTube etc, are my best companions, not only for my career and personal development, but for my self-awareness, relationships, and plenty more. I have discovered their PodPlus recently and I thoroughly enjoy their insights and participating in those sessions. I listen to the podcast when I go for a run or a walk and I come back double energised! I’m forever grateful to Helen and Sarah and Amazing If for their work, as I’m learning to become a better person as a whole through their inspiring work. Claudia
