Could TM be Your Secret Weapon to Success?
Imagine your mobile phone could only get fully recharged twice or three times a year? Jerry Seinfeld, a 40 year meditator, recently likened his daily transcendental meditation practise to being like his charger. When you think about it, most people, only recharge fully when they go on holiday or have an extended break, a few times a year, if lucky.

Through my coaching with Ollie at SEVEN, my self-awareness has been massively expanded and elevated. I enrolled for the coaching to development my leadership skills. I was looking for practical tools and models that I could apply at work. What I got was so much more; from the fountain of knowledge that can be accessed through audio books, and all kinds of bio-hacking to supercharge my performance to gaining clarity on what I would like to achieve with my career. I feel better equipped to achieve these goals and know which resources are available to guide me along the way.read more

Coaching with Anamaria was an extremely valuable experience. She is supportive and empathetic, while her sharp sense of perception and unflinching honesty pushed me further to face the personal challenges that were holding me back.
Anamaria helped me let go of past values and expectations, and to create my own, personal yardsticks for success. I can't recommend her highly enough.read more

Anamaria gave me the confidence to believe in myself again. She created a safe space for me to explore painful feelings and emotions that I needed to accept, understand and process, so that I could go on to discover my inner happiness and authentic confidence. It has been a life changing growth experience that has given me the confidence to want to get back on the roller coaster of life, and enjoy the ups and downs of the journey. I understand myself, my values, what I want from my next career move and how to authentically sell-myself in interviews. Anamaria’s calm, caring and supportive nature throughout the last six months, made it the most rewarding and enriching experience, that I know, will only go on, to positively shape and craft future decisions and challenging times ahead.read more

I have only good things to say about Seven despite the fact that I had to stop my coaching after only 2 sessions because my career plans had changed.
The communication with the team was easy, the refund was calculated fairly and went through quickly, a very positive experience overall.
My coach Melanie was absolutely wonderful, very personable and knowledgeable. She is a true professional who has successfully gone through a career change herself. In as little as two 2,5 hours of coaching she offered me some valuable insights and suggested ways to overcome obstacles that held me back. I found it genuinely helpful and encouraging.
I would highly recommend Seven to anyone who feels stuck in their career but doesn’t know where to start. If I ever find myself in need of career coaching again, I will definitely return to Seven.read more

I had 9 sessions with Seven and my Career/Life coach was Ollie.
To say my time with Ollie was life changing would be an understatement. From session one Ollie was on a mission to change my life around and his intuitive and energetic nature made it very easy to work with him.
I was stagnant and unhappy with my life purpose and had no idea how to move forward. Ollie helped bridge that gap, by giving me realistic and practical ways to improve my life and propelling me forward using my own knowledge and skills.
Ollie was a great tool in making me realise my own potential and giving me amazing techniques that I had never heard of, whilst giving me challenges along the way, altogether giving me more confidence and positive focus to nail my goals and start loving life.read more

My coaching with Ollie at Seven was a tremendous success. He is extremely knowledgeable and supportive, and my time with him was always very enjoyable. By the end of the ninth session I had a clear understanding of where my future lies, and he equipped me with the skills to achieve it.
Ollie prepared the sessions specifically to my needs, and each session built upon the previous one, so I was continually moving forward. Ollie also suggested extracurricular reading and mini-projects which really helped me to get a 360 degree insight into my behaviour patterns and what motivates me.
I would highly recommend Ollie to anyone interested in being coached.read more

Coaching with Ollie was a blast, he really pushed me out of my comfort zone and showed me my values and my purpose. Which was always there it just needed a little help to come out. Confidence is not my forte, it seemed to disappear in my 20s. But with a few tools and techniques Ollie help my true inner self come back and also show me how to cope with negative people! I'm now on track to my true self and loved every moment of discovery with Ollie. A big huge thank you. You are a star!read more

Thanks to Ollie I now know what a life hack is! And not only do I have a “to-do” list, but I also have a “to-learn” list... and a “to-stop” list! Seven Coaching paired me with Ollie because I wanted to develop all aspects of my life- I wasn’t looking for a typical career coach. My experience with Ollie exceeded my high expectations- it was current, tailored and challenging but thoughtful. I would very highly recommend Ollie to anyone considering coaching.read more

After having an hour long phone call with a seven coach professional, I was partnered and mentored by Derek and it couldn’t have been a better experience. Working with Derek and seven not only did I unearth a lot of dark truths, but it really pushed me to my limits and to the best version of myself. It makes you ask a lot of questions about yourself and understand your WHY! I’ve gone from leaving a career and moving to a new city to finding my vocation in life. I’m now a yacht broker and living the life I’ve always wanted. It has been an amazing experience personally and money well spent. I couldn’t be happier. Personal shoutout to Derek and Jack for their professional help throughout. Invest in yourself and strive for more. Thanks Sevenread more

I had the best experience working with Nicky Chambers from Seven Career Coaching! Over the last few months she has helped me focus on what wasn’t working in my current job, understand myself better and and gain clarity on my goals for the next few years - as well as how to attain them. I feel motivated and confident in a way I really couldn’t have hoped to be without her help and support. I would heartily recommend for anyone to try this process for themselves.read more

Where to begin! I’ve just spent a truly transformative 6 months working with Oliver from SEVEN. I was feeling really stuck when I started thinking about coaching. I had a seemingly great job, lots of friends, a supportive family but somehow I was feeling unfulfilled and anxious and wondering if this was it? I had an idea of what I wanted my life and work to feel like but I felt completely at a loss as to how to achieve it. After an incredibly inspiring telephone conversation with Evelyn from SEVEN she suggested Oliver as a coach and so it began. I had no idea how empowering it would be to have someone in my corner whose soul aim was to help me become the best possible version of myself and make those daydreams a reality. The amount of energy and enthusiasm that he injected into our sessions was infectious. He provided me with endlessly interesting and helpful resources and was brilliantly creative in his approach to our sessions. Oliver has helped me work out what I need in my life to make it feel fulfilling and exciting. He has also helped me to value my unique skills and strengths and to devise a strategy for using them more effectively at work and in my personal life. As a result of my work with Oliver I've restructured my work so that I can focus on what I love, I’ve negotiated a more flexible set up at work so I can travel more and I feel empowered and more confident in my personal relationships than I ever have before. Perhaps most importantly. I now feel like I’m in charge of my life and I can achieve the things that once thought were beyond my reach.read more

I can say with utmost confidence that Oliver from SEVEN has completely reinvigorated my career, helping to open up new opportunities for the future. He did this by helping me find the core of who I am and then use these skills to the best of my abilities.
When we first started working together, I felt completely off-course and didn’t know which way to turn in my career. Through a series of engaging and creative exercises we worked together to tackle the issues that were holding me back, clarify my career trajectory, focus my values and discover my leadership style.
In each session, Oliver always had an infectious, optimistic energy that helped make this such a rewarding experience for me and each time I felt energised to take the next steps in my journey. I’ve completed our time together with such a deep appreciation for what he does. My career has taken leaps and bounds, and I’m now armed with the techniques to help me grab each and every opportunity in a way that is most beneficial for me.read more
