I'm delighted to recommend Ildiko Thot-Foote as a coach. I attended two of her programmes in the past and learned a lot from them. She really knows her subject matter and encourages her coachees to dig deeper, to improve the quality of their thinking through questions and exercises, and to stretch themselves. Her genuine warmth and wish for her coachees to succeed and be the best they can be shines through in every conversation. I found Ildiko’s recent Positive Intelligence/Mental Fitness programme very useful and I would recommend it to anyone who feels that they are holding themselves back through self-critique and other limiting beliefs, whether this is in a work setting or in personal life. You learn to intercept self-sabotaging thoughts, and change your thinking and outlook, and then move forward in a positive way. More...

I have been coaching with Ildiko for about three months now and it has been an experience that helped me a lot to grow and get clarity around a lot of issues. My life is very fast paced and busy, having the opportunity to coach with Ildiko, has given me a space to just stop, take a breath and discuss my struggles and make decisions on what to focus on and what to prioritise. She has been indeed a CALM SOURCE OF ADVICE and has helped me a lot with balancing my life, bringing structure into it and take my life to the next level. She has a wealth of experience - personally and professionally. I highly advise coaching with her, especially if you need a space to just take a step back and put yourself in the drivers seat of life, rather than always fire fighting. Not only will she help you make better and more balanced decisions, but also help you increase your ability to act with calmness and get to steady and sustainable results in a way that is more natural to you. Thank you for everything, Ildiko :) Love working with you! More...

During the beginning of the first lockdown (which lasted 4 months for my business) I was in turmoil, filled with ideas (too many) and a need to do something to optimise my chances of making my business a success as at the time it was just 6 months old.
I discovered Dee (Ildiko) and her coaching course "3 Steps to Success & a fulfilled life programme" and it was a game changer. I was suffering with overwhelm but the deep, guided reflection exercises and support Dee provided gave me crystal clear clarity which allowed me to lay foundations for future plans and have a clear vision of what I want and how to get there. It was intense and required a lot of work and self reflection but is so worth it. Life has a habit of getting busy and so I know it is a resource I can revisit when things start to build up and "reset". Discovering my "Ikigai" was a revelation and re-enforced my conviction I'm on the right path for professional and personal areas.
Dee clearly cares about her clients outcomes and will go the extra mile to find solutions to address the individual. She has a gentle, patient demeanour and is highly intelligent. Be prepared to go on a self discovery journey that will inevitably lead to a clear path and professional confidence for you.

Working with Ildiko was simply life changing for me.
She was my business mentor and I worked one on one with her on a weekly basis.
I learned a lot through her mentorship from the first session to the very last one. She was always digging deep to understand the major obstacles I was facing with my business and offered me invaluable tools that helped me see things more clearly and improve the skills and mindset to help my business thrive.
She is very organized and very attentive. She is always listening to you and trying to really understand what is going on in order to offer you tools and to guide you to solutions and new ideas.
I was very sad when our program came to and end because I felt like she really cared about me and about my personal growth and the growth of my business.
I highly recommend her services and feel very fortunate to have had her as my mentor. You will love working with her and will never regret making the choice to do so.

Ina
With the Life Coaching programme by Dee, I actually really enjoyed the free time I was given to reflect on what I have achieved so far and where I want to be.
This was a godsend time which I really needed.
I have never done a coaching programme before and I did not regret taking this program for a single second! I think it’s definitely worth the money and I do believe it will help others like it helped me. The structure, information, worksheets were all very good. I enjoyed having the time to go on analysing myself, my values and discover so much more about myself in the process. I definitely did not expect that there was so much more I didn't know about myself, my inner drives and reasons why I do or think in certain ways. I enjoyed the group sessions we had, the support was amazing and everyone was super nice to each other. It was a great environment for self discovery!
As with all programs, you will only get out what you put into the program. Make sure you have the time and dedication, the desire to change something in your life. No one will chase you to fulfill your goals, except yourself. The material is all there for you to expand and develop on.
Now that I have completed the programme, I can really see things happening, things moving in the direction I want them to move, I can see my goals that bit closer and I have my masterplan step by step of how to get there!

Jo
At the start of Dee’s online coaching programme I knew I wanted to make changes to my life, both from a personal and business perspective, but I lacked focus and didn’t know where to start.
Within the first few weeks of working with Dee, and using her tools and techniques, I gained both clarity and focus in the areas I needed to work on. Previously overwhelm would lead to procrastination which meant I was always busy but getting nowhere fast.
Learning to say no has been a major obstacle in the past; I now realise it is perfectly acceptable to say no, even a no without any explanation. In addition, by learning to flip my thoughts I accept that I when sharing my knowledge, not everyone would want to listen or be my target audience and that's OK.
Thank you Dee for your guidance throughout the programme. I really did have a few lightbulb moments.

Kris
I joined Ildiko’s coaching programme as I knew I had to change my mindset in order to be able to live the life I envisioned for myself and my family.
I needed guidance and help on how to manage negative self- talk, limiting beliefs, low self-esteem and fear. I needed to become more confident and positive.
I didn’t feel fulfilled at current job either and I wasn’t sure what to do with career. Although, I have found interest in surface pattern design lately, I was still lack of confidence in myself and did not see the end of the path.
Working with Ildiko helped me in many ways. She helped to understand which areas of my life need changes to create balance, clarified what I need to do and how to achieve my goals. I learnt how to manage limiting self-beliefs, negative self-talk and fear. I got more positive and confident day by day through the tools and exercises she introduced.
It is great to be part of a supportive group, where we can help each other to overcome similar challenges in life. Thanks to Ildiko, now I am able to open up and talk about myself.
Ildiko creates a friendly, fun, engaging and relaxed atmosphere, yet still professional. She is well prepared with course content, creates easy to use and valuable course materials, workbooks, etc. She genuinely wants to help everyone and works hard to tailor the course to their individual needs to achieve the best outcome.
My biggest achievements upon completing the course are that I became more positive and confident, more mindful. I gained clarity on the actions I need to work on to achieve the balanced life I envisioned. My road to success in private and business is mapped out!
Now I am working on building my dream design business!
I highly recommend this course to those, who would like to create a successful and fulfilled life, who are fighting with lack of clarity, negative self-talk and generally think that something is missing from their life but not sure what is it. I experienced positive results after just a few sessions! It is truly amazing!

Hi Bee! Thank you so much for the lovely note. It’s been a pleasure working with you and so exciting to see such great progress even after a few sessions! Fantastic work! Look forward to our next session!
What do you love most about your job?
I love the ability to help and have a transformational impact on my clients’ success and happiness on a highly personal level. Witnessing their growth, their personal and professional development, self-confidence, wellbeing and mindset fills me with excitement. I love being their guide, their constructive friend, reflecting mirror, cheerleader and confidant and I love to be able to build deep and open relationships with them. And most importantly I just looove seeing them succeed and the impact my support is creating !
What inspired you to start your own business?
During my 16 years in the corporate world as senior HR professional I had the pleasure of working with and supporting hundreds of leaders and high potentials in a wide variety of ways. My main passion is in talent development and helping people on a more personal level - supporting their growth and development by utilising my experience, skills and tested methods of coaching.
Why should our clients choose you?
In my 20s I moved countries and started a completely new life, alone, with about £100 in my pocket. I then obtained a number of higher qualifications (incl. PGrad Diploma), built a successful career, become a chartered member of the CIPD and now committee member for the Kent branch; I’ve built a property portfolio, and then started 2 businesses. My life experience plus 16 years in HR supporting organisations and talented people provided me with a wast array of knowledge and skills, and the full understanding of what it takes to grow and fulfil one’s potential.
I have spent years researching these areas so I can help others save time researching and trying to figure things out on their own.
I know how tricky it can be to see the forest from the trees sometimes, especially when those trees are routed deep down and perhaps invisible at first.
I can help you clear your sight and see what really is going on, and what are the most impactful steps YOU can take towards success, in your own way.
In my practice I offer highly tailored coaching support, utilising a range of different skills and techniques (from career coaching, to mindset work, life coaching to leadership skills development and so on).
We may focus on finding your purpose and clarifying your goals one day, or creating your professional development plan or getting you ready for an interview, or might work on building your confidence or leadership skills on another. It completely depends on your needs and priorities so you will have your own personalised coaching plan.
If you are truly ready to move forward in your life and fulfil your potential, then give me a call. I’d love to help you.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I work online. I can also do face to face in the SE of UK
