Life Coaching

have yet to make meeting ,still have to convince daughter to get involved ??

25 April 2023

I found Rhonda, the brilliant mind behind Our Minds Matter, the same way many have. Rhonda has a chain of glowing references strung together by unique interactions, revelations, and praise for her insight. By the time I began my first session with her, two other directors in my network had recommended her to me at a time when I needed to evolve beyond my circumstance.

My first point of contact with Rhonda was walking down High Street in Auckland City, which was a symphony of construction noise on the day she returned my phone call. A scene which emulated what I was experiencing in my business life. I remember Rhonda asking, ‘Are you burning toast?’, as I tried to step around a reversing truck violently beeping at me. There are many small moments amongst the more profound work we did together that I remember vividly and fondly. Like many who come to personal coaching for the first time, you find yourself sitting in the chair not quite knowing how you got there. Yet that choice is still deliberate and powerful, which is how I felt at the end of every session. Admittedly, I had made a very conscious decision to seek coaching as my construction company that I had owned from the age of twenty-three, came to a close. For me Rhonda served as a bridge between worlds, reflecting on past endeavours and using the momentum gained from those exercises to plan and become excited about the future. For others I know she is something entirely different, fluid and adaptable depending on what the client requires or where they are in their personal business narrative.

As someone who values substance, which is the only understatement I have used here, it was important for me to work with a coach who did not only offer theory. Young directors are very good at finding information because we do not know anything and have to have answers for everything. The real service on offer here is making the connection to self. Rhonda’s credibility stems from her time in the corporate trenches as a leader. Therefore, she was able to speak to me from a place of deep understanding despite my lived experiences feeling very specific to my franchise. A framework was tailored for the way I preferred to work during my first block of sessions which blended seamlessly when we moved beyond or discussed topics adjacent to the set work. I always felt accountable for making progress but never like I was out of my depth. Rhonda’s support and direction had a way of making the unknown feel familiar.

Rhonda is extraordinary at what she does. I feel a sense of comfort when taking future risks in business with the knowledge that I can return to her at any time for perspective, guidance, or simply reassurance.

In the sessions we had, I had walked away with so much inner strength.
That strength opened me up to a whole new me that I never thought I could access.
I dropped my walls that I struggled to get over and even when they popped back up, I felt safe sitting with Rhonda and letting her in.

Thank you for being kind, warm and allowing me to be heard. Thank you for your compassion and understanding in each session. I walked away with so much and wanting to thrive to learn more about myself.

I’m no longer rowing my waka alone. ☺️

I partnered with Rhonda through a period of wanting to work towards being the best version of myself, living with intention and and discovering more about my purpose. I am so grateful for the encouragement and empathetic approach Rhonda provided me on this journey. Rhonda has a real gift in creating a safe and trusting space, and I felt so supported and heard throughout our sessions. I notice myself using several invaluable tools in daily life that came from our conversations, allowing me to feel well equipped in approaching future situations and challenges in both my personal and professional life with intent and clarity. I am hugely appreciative for the opportunity to have worked with Rhonda, and highly recommend her services to absolutely anyone in any season of their life! More...

Working with Rhonda has allowed me to step away from the noise of every day life and look at all the aspects of my life, from health to relationships to career, and see what needed a bit of attention and direction. What I love about the sessions we had together was how non judgmental but also practical it was. I always came away with AHA moments and learning new things about the way I'm wired. I think my family and friends may have got sick of me calling them with all my new insights haha! but I really am more self aware from these sessions and look forward to continuing work with Rhonda.

Rhonda really cares for her clients. I was fortunate enough to be recommended by a friend after a career change. My weekly meetings with Rhonda was something I look forward to and her subtle and caring way of thinking outside the square helped me with a huge transformation in my personal life along with my career . Rhonda's guidance was invaluable and really helped me define my values and life goals. What a fabulous lady! More...

I have had multiple sessions with Rhonda over the past 12 months and would highly recommend the Our Minds Matter programme. Rhonda creates a very safe space to talk through issues and gives you coping strategies to tackle them head on. She lets you come to realisations yourself in a supportive environment and still follows up with me even to this day. Thank you Rhonda! More...

I started working with Rhonda just over 6 months ago and believe my life has positively improved since. I was at a standstill with what I was doing in life, and she guided me through a self-discovery journey that led me to become a more confident and positive version of myself. I learnt a lot about my core values, and how to best apply these in situations that would benefit not only myself, but also those around me. Rhonda's uplifting energy and spirit made each session inviting and warming and I always signed off feeling more in touch with myself and where I was headed. I now understand the importance of taking a step back and approaching/looking at things with a more open and empathetic mind, while also remembering that my own values, opinions and decisions will always be relevant. The world would be a calmer, kinder and happier environment if we all got to conversate with Rhonda. I could never thank you enough Rhonda!!!!! More...

Rhonda is truly amazing. Her calm and understanding demeanor immediately puts you at ease and creates a safe space for you to open up and share your thoughts and feelings. Rhonda has a wealth of knowledge and provides some amazing tools to help deal with everyday stresses, emotions, and problems that we may come across.

One of the things that really stands out about Rhonda is how easy she is to talk to. It's like talking to a trusted friend who genuinely cares about your well-being. She listens intently and offers insightful and practical advice that you can implement in your daily life.

Rhonda's approach is very personalized, and she tailors her coaching to meet your specific needs. She helps you identify areas of your life that may be causing you stress or hindering your progress, and then works with you to develop strategies to overcome those obstacles.

One of the things I appreciate most about Rhonda is that she doesn't just give you advice and send you on your way. She provides ongoing support and accountability to help you stay on track and achieve your goals. With Rhonda as your life coach, you can be confident that you have a partner in your journey towards personal growth and self-improvement.

Overall, I cannot recommend Rhonda enough. She is an amazing and truly cares about her clients and provides valuable guidance and support. If you're looking for someone to help you navigate life's challenges and achieve your goals, Rhonda is the perfect person for the job.

Rhonda, not only are you an absolute beautiful soul, your smarts have changed my life.. forever! I cannot thank you enough for helping me find a work-life balance, confidence in my decision making, dulling the self sabotage, teaching me ways of thinking, helping me articulate my thoughts and emotions. .. the list could go on forever! 12 sessions and I am a completely different person, for the better. This isn't the end of our journey together but I just wanted to say a big thank you and that I cannot recommend Rhonda's coaching enough. Why can't I give you more than 5 stars?! More...

I was stuck in a rut and struggling with old habits that were not helping my mental health. Rhonda guided me in reconnecting with workability. She helped me shine a light into my blind spots, revealing my blockers so that I could dismantle them. I now feel free to live meaningfully and purposefully, where before I felt like I was just going through the motions. More...

I have been lucky enough to work with Rhonda for 2 years now, she has changed my life in so many ways. Personally & professionally I have been able to bring a more positive attitude and clearer perspective to my life. I am more present with the people in my life, have grown in confidence and continue to enjoy growing with the help of Rhonda. More...

The goal of my sessions with Rhonda is to get the most out of my current job role, and set myself up to capitalise on future opportunities when they arise.

The three things that I value most from our interactions are her depth of experience in finance and management roles (we speak the same language), her ability to make me step back and think about how my colleagues might see the world, and how to navigate complex and sometimes uncomfortable conversations.

As a result of our regular sessions, I've been more resilient and more adaptable to a changing work environment. I'm less stressed, more productive, and feel like I'm making a positive impact in the workplace. I hope you can benefit from working with Rhonda as much as I have.

I started working with Rhonda around two years ago. She has helped me so much both personally and professionally over this time. As a young new business owner her knowledge and experience has been invaluable in guiding me through the various challenges that have presented during this journey. Rhonda has provided me with the skills and tools to grow as an individual, manage difficult situations and focus on the bigger picture. I will always value Rhonda’s wisdom and advice. Thanks for everything Rhonda 😊 More...

Rhonda is AMAZING. She has made such a difference to my mindset regarding past experiences I've struggled with for 10 years, and every single time - without failure - I walk out of our sessions with a HUGE weight off my shoulders. I cannot recommend Rhonda enough - I strongly believe everyone needs her. Even if it's just to get more clarity around how your own mind works. Highly, highly recommend Our Minds Matter :) More...

Rhonda has offered me so much advice and support in my professional journey, I couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone looking to advance in their career or work on their personal development

12 November 2021

I have the absolute pleasure of reviewing Rhonda from Our Minds Matter. She has provided 3 outstanding sessions of guidance and insight to help me better navigate the personal challenges I'm faced with. Her persona was relaxing, calming, and engaging. She uses a questioning style that draws the answers from within, yet backs up with fantastic case studies and theory. I would gladly recommend Rhonda to anyone in need! More...

11 November 2021

I was lucky enough to enjoy 2 sessions with Rhonda recently. My experience was excellent and Rhonda's strengths are genuine compassion, acute listening skills to really hear what is going on for someone, and an intelligent yet down-to-earth summation of the challenges and blocks followed up by practical, easy to do solutions. I would book another session with Rhonda or recommend her in a heartbeat as a quality investment in keeping the machine that is you as healthy as possible:) More...

Q&As

So easy: seeing the aha moments in my clients, having my clients start to take charge and live their life by design, shift the roadblocks and move from depressed or languishing to thriving :) Gets me out of bed EVERY DAY!

25 years living a life to meet others' expectations. I became burntout, stressed and wasn't the mum I wanted to be.
I saw too many people - including myself - punish themselves in that 'pursuit for profit', and live with regret because they aren't being who they want to be, or even who they really are. Too busy trying to be perfect, avoid rejection or make themselves better than others. Rather than simply being better, happier, more courageous in themselves every day.

I am approachable, non-judgemental and practical. I listen generously, like I REALLY listen, to look for how you're relating to the situation. That's because I take my promise to ‘transform’ seriously, literally, practically. I move beyond just giving you information hoping you’ll change ‘something’. Instead we help you answer the question: “why do we do what we do when we know what we know?”. Which means you fundamentally change your view of the world and transform the way you communicate, behave and act. That’s transformation!

I can zoom and meet face to face, where geographically possible :)

We have a QR code on site and we use zoom when lockdown levels require physical distancing.

Services

I can help you transform from stressed, disconnected, even numb, to calm, deliberate and empowered through mindfully led and evocative coaching. I coach to empower you to have deliberate thinking and create your life by design.

When ‘life happens’ we can resort to retail therapy, giving up, or a 10am martini. But shoving it down, sideways or to someone else doesn’t help! Transformational coaching can.

I help you expand your mind to gain awareness on how you are perceiving and therefore experiencing your reality – that’s illuminating the perceptions, feelings and values that sit lurking under the surface of your behaviours and choices.

I assist you to unravel the mystery of yourself, and help you discover your own unique-ness. And when you have awareness, you know where to place your attention.

Sessions are normally 1 hour, fortnightly apart. In blocks of 4, 8 or monthly ongoing. In other words - what suits YOU!

It's my privilege to partner with you. xx
