Testimonials
“Sceptical, yes I was too. I had met some life coaches before I met Noelle, and they were pretty ordinary people. Noelle is extraordinary to say the least. Noelle, just helps you see your future more clearly without taking the baggage of the past with you. I had two sessions with her and it helped me in more ways than I could imagine, the bad feelings have left me forever, I cannot even think about them any more. You just have experience Noelle, to appreciate what she can do for you. I have now had some pranic healing sessions with her, what a great experience. You just have to try it. Noelle I love you!!!!”
Thank you so much for the session on Sunday. I have to say, I have started to feel a few changes. Firstly is probably my appetite. Im feeling much healthier, only craving good things like salads, healthy sandwiches, fruit, etc. No more hot chips and gravy!! Secondly, Im definately feeling much more in control of my emotions. Im not feeling the pressure to make do or die decisions reight here, right now. Im getting more clarity on what I want to do. This change is something that Im finding difficult to put into words, but as I find the direction, I will update you.
After just one coaching session with Noelle, I began to observe the limiting beliefs which were keeping me separate from that which I desired. From this new awareness and observation I was able to powerfully shift my perspective in a way that enabled me to actually become and therefore attract what I truly desired. Just this one thing gained from just one session changed my life in a very powerful way. It was like I finally "got it" and was able to facilitate changes in my thoughts, patterns and belief systems! Noelle is truly an awesome coach and an inspiring human being.

Hello Noelle, It's now 2 weeks since I met with you & I am happy to report it is also 2 weeks since I have had a smoke. Not sure wether to congratulate you or me - maybe we can both share in the glory. I feel fine, have not been angry or depressed and most importantly do not feel like smoking its almost as if I never have. Noelle, I can't thank you enough, still can't believe how easy you have made this for me. I will certainly sing your praises to all and sundry & keep you informed. Again my Thanks, Kerrie
Noelle,I can advise you after our session on Tuesday 28 May 2009 I stopped drinking mid week, that is I did not drink Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of week one (1). Week two (2) I did not drink Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and now week three (3) I did not drink last night Monday and I've no intention of drinking Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday either.I do not feel like a drink mid week. I confirm I've felt more relaxed than I've felt for a long long time, I went for a surf last Sunday for the first time in ages and I had a momentum session with a good mate. You ask what has changed for me and I can tell you ; LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN, MY LIFE HAS CHANGED AND IS STILL CHANGING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I continue to grow and develop and people at work have noticed changes in me and my family the same. My partner can't believe the change she has seen and is inspired with my commitment. Once again, I thank you for the time you have committed to me.
Thank you Noelle, you are exactly the coach I was hoping for and "expecting". Strong, direct and with the right amount of soft! With your guidance I am able to work through whatever is needed in each of our sessions with total confidence and the right level of support I need to get my butt into gear to do what's needed to be done. I know that with your help I am heading in the right direction - FORWARD - and closer to achieving my goals. Thanks Noelle, you're the best!
Prior to meeting Noelle, I was confused about my path in my life and my vision was affected. In the coaching I not only created clarity where I wanted to go, I also made the connection that not knowing where I wanted to go was linked to not being able to see very well, and as soon as I noticed this, my eyes cleared up, the redness subsided , the itching stopped and I could see again. This was a real eye-opener. Thank you Noelle for being a persistant and supportive coach.
Just a quick note to advise you I've felt better since our appointment and didn't feel like a drink Wednesday or Thursday evening after our session. Also my partner noticed a difference in me when I arrived home after the session with you, and we had a good talk about my experience. Thank you.
Despite having owned several successful businesses, my financial life had had been causing me problems for many years. It was only when I had a coaching session with Noelle did I realise that I was actually the cause of these problems. Noelle helped me identify the root of the problems and has helped me, through implementation of her techniques, to 're-program' myself. My self- confidence has increased, I feel more empowered in who I am and feel much stronger to challenge any other unhealthy attitudes that I have."
" Wow! Our discussion has brought a bright light to my situation."
"I had just been retrenched and feeling realing stressed and lost. Every area of my life was being affected by my career and financial situation. I couldnt find any solutions or see a way out so I picked up the phone and called Noelle. Noelle helped me take stock of my attributes and passions and I realised I had been on the wrong career path at any rate. We rewrote my resume and she re-injected me with loads of motivation and a sense of purpose. I am now working in the industry I love, my job is so much more exciting and I was employee of the month last month! My life is completely back on track and very happy. So is my wife and family. "
" As a business owner I am skilled at problem solving and seeing the big picture. However, with the constant pace of business, it is difficult to take time and see answers for your own personal situations. Working Noelle Chuck allowed me to step back from the demands of work and life and focus on the real issues at hand. I was amazed at the clarity it provided and the sense of control and focus that I obtained by the end of the session. Her questions and input caused me to look at things from a different pint of view and showed me variables that I had been overlooking. I would recommend her services to anyone looking to grow and find answers."
"The session was supportive of my vision to create a stronger sense of inner peace and more positive interactions with those individuals in my life that create inner turmoil and strife. The awareness of the connectiveness of the issues made something which seemed so "large" become so "small". I now embrace similar situations and feelings with the strategies I learned from life coaching and have come to realize I can have peace in my life!"
Thank you for the Bubbles, what fun and I will keep them for a while to remind me of how far I have come. I was soooo relaxed on saturday night but I don't think Mark believed I was really free. On Sunday we had a lot of things to do and at the end of the day when we relaxed he said that I was back to the same person he liked to sit and talk to each evening.............And anytime I thought I might get cranky he told me he would touch my right knee and calm me down.............I hate renovating. Thank you so much for sorting me out, I feel so good and haven't had any cravings since I saw you on saturday. I will be happy to recommend you to anyone. Thanks again for everything you have done for me..................the smoke free me. Regards Gay
Noelle gave me a level of self-awareness that took me to another level with my personal goals. I wanted it all but continually hit brick walls. In the past I had been too focused on my business and the success of it all. Now I still have the successful business but I also have a balanced, happier and more fulfilling life. I didn't know I had so much time on my hands!
Amazing, excellent!
Noelle, THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE STRENGTH AND FREEDOM TO BE ME. Noelle helped me overcome several hurdles that were preventing me from achieving everything I can as a young woman in my self, my relationship with my partner, in my studies and now in my career. Noelle, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. I came to Noelle with no idea of what I could get out of being coached, and I got SO MUCH and have not looked back. Since being coached by Noelle, I have been employed into a position that 6 months ago I would not have believed was within my reach. And it wouldn't have been without the strength and power I got from Noelle. My relationships with my partner, family and friends have improved as I feel more confident in my views and as you always told me Noelle, I have lightened up! So much! I asked for help in public speaking, something that I used to dread and I now use the techniques Noelle taught me almost daily in my current work place. I came to Noelle filled with passion for an organisation I regularly volunteer for and asked for help in spreading my passion and getting the most out of those around me, and the results I have created with Noelle's help have been amazing. Not only have you permanently impacted on my life Noelle, you have helped to create wonderful opportunities for youth around the world. Noelle, you are a truly amazing woman and although I have never met you face-to-face, I feel that I have made a connection that I will never forget. So once again, THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE STRENGTH AND FREEDOM TO BE ME.
I was made redundant in November 08. But seeing as I really didn't enjoy my job as an insurance sales man, at first, I was relieved. Then, as the weeks went by I became so stressed and almost depressed as I kept getting doors slammed in my face. Enough was enough and in January I booked myself in for an Inital Consultation with Noelle. I told her everything including my passion for photography and marketing. I've now made the transition in to my own freelance photography business and I am back at uni studying it (photography) too. I am already getting small photogaphy contracts and my "real" business is slowly shaping up. I know I am going to make it. It (coaching) was the best investment in myself that I have ever made.
Hi Noelle, Just checking in - It has now been 1 week since I became a non smoker............still can't believe it. The first night I woke about 3am and if I had any cigs in the house would have smoked them all........however none to be had. A patch for the Wednesday and now just carry a patch in my handbag.......but think that will not be necessary. My doctor was very impressed and I gave her your email address.........hope she isn't driving you crazy!!! Anyway thanks for everything...........the verandah at Bellingen beckons and not a ashtray in sight:) Cheers Gay
Noelle is an inspirational and motivational coach who challenges you to realise your full potential in all areas of your life. She challenged me to set career goals that were at the cutting edge of my competence and has helped me enormously to have the courage to try to achieve my career goals, and supported me and inspired self-belief to help me actually achieve thofse. While being a charismatic and inspiring person, Noelle has a listening soul and ability to understand and help define the big picture of your goals, she is also able to break down the steps needed to achieve these goals and give practical and insightful advice on how to take that all important first step towards your goal, whether it be a new course of study, defining your career direction, realising personal goals and achievements, resolving family and relationship conflict, or taking charge of your life.
Noelle is one of the rare people willing to take risks to follow their dreams, taking up the challenge of living life to its fullest potential. Noelle is an incredibly inspirational, self-motivated woman. Her self-determination, courage and persistence, her exceptional communication skills, an effective social work background give her the ability to motivate and encourage people to attain their best
Noelle is a compassionate and genuine person. She has the ability to listen intently and absorbs the information being offered to her. Noelle is trustworthy and makes you feel like a friend within minutes. Noelle had the life experience and knowledge to help me find my qualities and solve problems. She has a very calming effect.
Noelle has a way of making others feel comfortable. She accepts others for who they are but encourages them to change and believe in themselves. Importantly, she is honest with me - she challenged me to be honest with myself and make difficult choices when needed. This combination of gentle guidance, encouragement and honest challenging and questioning when needed seems to come naturally to Noelle and makes her an ideal life coach.
Before I didn't know what self worth was or that I could achieve my goals. With Noelle's help everything became clearer in my life. It was very liberating. I developed the strength to overcome obstacles in my life and took 100% responsibility for my life and my actions. Now I'm studying at university - achieving what I thought was impossible.
I was immediately drawn to her honesty and her passion for life and for working with women. She listens to me without judgment for as long as I need to talk. There is something about the way Noelle listens to people that empowers. The respect and warmth she shows strangers is the same as if she were talking with her own family. She accepts people, giving them the space to be themselves
The end of my 16 year marriage three years ago began an enormous process of personal change. I welcomed this change yet was very surprised to find that when I started pursuing fulfilment of other life dreams the smell of self sabotage was in the air! For all my conscious efforts it seemed the busier I became pursuing peace and harmony, the more chaotic things became. My finances became more limited and business projects that I could normally manifest at the click of my fingers would lead to dead ends and more financial restriction. It was at this point that life reintroduced me to my old school friend, Noelle. Noelle has worked with me in several sessions to uncover a carefully baked strudel of limited self-belief: layer upon layer of concepts and belief I had unconsciously adopted that limited the road to self realization. Noelle definitely used her skills as a coach to dig deep and unravel the woven layers of self misbelief. Her ability to listen, to be compassionate yet firm in supporting you in your commitment to your goals are exceptional and without judgement. I am grateful for her commitment and passion to her work and look forward to continued guidance in the evolution of my life.
In 2008 I had a series of breakthrough sessions with Noelle and I never really realised the true value of my investment until half way through the sessions. This was surely the best thing I've done for myself all my life. I was in the middle of a career change and realised that in order for me to truly forge forward and realise my dreams to the fullest, I needed to unlock some of the limiting beliefs I had held. Doing coaching with Noelle has completely changed my life. I used to look at others who were confident and happy and want what they were on, now I'm the one who walks around with my head held high wondering what great opportunities are going to come my way next. I'm so excited about the rest of my life, it's so nice when things just work out for the best. Thank you Noelle, you have truly helped me reach my potential, there's no limit for anything now!
There have been several times during the past year when I have had difficult decisions to make. Each time I have felt that I needed to speak with Noelle. She has allowed me to talk and cry and truly express myself. Without judgment, Noelle has gently asked me questions which have helped me to clarify:
- What it is I am actually confused about
- What my priorities are and
- She has asked me to think about who I truly am
Noelle has encouraged me to be true to myself and to believe in my dreams and chase them, even if other people disagree with my choices. An example of this was six months ago when I had to decide whether to accept an offer into medical school for 2008. I had been deliberating for over two weeks about whether to take the position or not and was getting nowhere. Studying medicine didn't feel right, but I didn't know why and I was unsure about what I would do with the rest of my life if I wasn't a doctor.
I called Noelle and she allowed me to talk without interruption for over an hour. Then she gently guided me to think about where I wanted to be in ten years time and what my priorities and beliefs were in regards to work and life. I found that I began to talk about my dream to work in developing countries and make a difference but that I didn't feel that I could make the kind of difference I wanted as a doctor.
With a little encouragement and the right questions from Noelle, I came to realise that I was feeling unsure about being a doctor because I wanted to work more closely with people and be involved on a different level in their lives than helping them with their health. I saw clearly that although I wanted to help people, I didn't want to see them through a health framework but through something different. Noelle then encouraged me to think more about my dream of working overseas and to think of it through the perspective of what I found most enjoyment in when I was currently helping people.
She listened as I shared my thoughts on life and my future and I came to the decision to reject the offer of studying medicine and explore study in other 'helping' fields such as psychology or social work. Importantly, Noelle encouraged me to think about what I wanted and not what I felt my family or friends or society wanted from me.
I am now studying social work and working full time at a women's refuge. I feel a sense of fulfilment and happiness with what I am doing in life. I also have not forgotten what we spoke about and have kept my sights fixed on the hopes and dreams I shared with Noelle. Remembering my dreams gives me the motivation to keep working and studying. I know that without Noelle's listening or her insightful questions or her encouragement, there is a strong possibility I would be studying something I did not enjoy this year and working towards something I did not truly want.
Without exaggeration I can truly say she has made a tremendous difference to my life!
My whole life has completely changed, and I now realise that I don't have to hang on to the garbage that I had, and I can let it go and I have let it go. I feel like a new person and I look at life differently now. I now have clarity for the future and for the first time in my life, I have goals and dreams. I appreciate and am grateful for what I have now, instead of whinging and complaining about all the things that I thought I didn't have. And I just feel renewed and new. Without Noelle and her guidance and coaching, my life would have stayed the same. But because of her caring and coaching style, she helped me change my life. No amount of money will ever be enough to pay Noelle for her work and what she has helped me do. Can I recommend Noelle and her amazing change work - YES.
This is my second coaching session with Noelle and whenever I come into conflict I know that Noelle will be able to help me straighten it out. After finishing my last session I realised my objective has been met and I now understand what people mean when they talk about balance in their life. I have slept the best ever in two years and my mind is clear and able to function and think pragmatically instead of being overwhelmed by what I want to achieve. Noelle's coaching session enables me with the tools to keep moving forward and know and aspire to achieve more great things.
Hi Noelle, Thought I would email you to follow up from my session a few weeks ago. Everything is going really well. I have not bitten my nails since that Saturday and I have no intension to either! They are growing long and are quite strong and I will probably get my first manicure in a few weeks. Thanks again for everything!
Dear Noelle, You have literally changed my life in a matter of weeks! Thank you with all my heart for helping to find the new Me and setting me on the path to a new life, for giving me the tools to be the person I always knew I could be. After 4 sessions, I now have a wonderful new path in front of me, thank you, Noelle for everything I can only recommend Noelle Harb in the highest possible way. With her warm, professional manner, she has shown me the way to a new and happy future. Thank you Noelle.
Team Leader Coaching Program
Team Leaders who are selected to lead the WYI Overseas Action Programs each year receive intensive training from management in Adelaide in the months leading up to their departure. The role of Team Leader is an important one, and an honour and a privilege. Team Leaders manage relationships, handle conflict, balance budgets, lead sustainable projects, create miracles and face many more challenges - all in an unfamiliar environment. This role entails great responsibility, personal awareness, humour, commitment, energy and vision.
Congratulations goes to our sucessful Team Leader applicants Danielle Robst, Cindy Angel, Adam Whitefield, and Natalie Mendez who were selected to lead the Nepal, Cambodia, Kenya and Peru Overseas Action Programs departing in November 2008 and January 2009. These four leaders were selected from a large number of highly skilled and experienced applicants. Thanks also goes to all who applied for these positions.
To assist these leaders in preparing themselves for this demanding role, seven professional coaches have volunteered to provide each leader with 12 sessions of coaching leading up to their departure. Our administrative staff in Adelaide will also receive coaching, free of charge.
These amazing coaches are: Barrie Burns, Kim Davis, Sandra Groom, Noelle Harb, Julianne Hughes, Eugene McGarrell and Lisa Rubinstein
This is a very generous donation of their time, skills and money and we want to thank them for the contribution they are making. Whilst on the surface, it may look like individual coaching - the work they do will have untold ripple effects on our leaders, their participants and the community in which they work overseas. We want to acknowledge you and the difference you are willing to make in the world!
In the three months that I have been working with Noelle, she has become a person that I trust and can communicate openly and honestly. Noelle has offered great leadership skills to suit the style necessary for me to become aware of what I can achieve. I have already started to achieve the goals and refocus on what is important to me under Noelle's guidance. I have found her coaching sessions to present themselves at a suitable time for myself and I really am looking forward to the continuing relationship/life coaching relationship in the future.
Noelle at Power and Purpose Coaching gave me a broader perspective by helping me put strategies and actions in place to achieve my goals and reach my potential both professionally and personally.
At a time when I had a chronic illness, coaching helped me re-establish my creative focus. I moved from being blocked to producing a sustained series of paintings. I have now uncovered my own personal style and clarified the themes that really motivate me.
When I first heard about the concept of having a personal coach I knew that it was for me. There were some obstacles I needed to overcome in my life things that I knew were holding me back. I'd tried to tackle them on my own for over 6 years but found myself going around the same old mountain. Many times in frustration I thought that I could never achieve my goal and became dissatisfied thinking that this just must have been my burden to carry. When I contacted Noelle I was determined to give it my all, I went in with the attitude and commitment that this time I needed to have a victory. A big thanks to you Noelle....you helped me to put my goal into perspective, provided me with strategies, stood by me when I needed to be encouraged and celebrated with me when I finally overcame that hurdle that had stood in my way. You made me accountable, pushed me when I needed it, pointed things out to me that I couldn't see and drew things out of me that I didn't even know were there. Once again, thank you so much, I am a better person today, equipped and ready to take on other challenges.
I know that our coaching sessions together has helped equip me for all situations. Thanks for your input. You would be amazed at the positive impact your sessions have had on my life. My family is transformed, as if my life.
When I first started the sessions with Noelle I was in a general state of confusion, on the surface everything was fine, I had a well paid job, two (reasonably!) well adjusted children, a new house and a man I loved and was about to marry - so why wasn't I content? With Noelle's knack of asking exactly the right questions I was able to peel back the layers of my personality and the real me re-emerged. As a consequence it became apparent that the job was the real 'problem': as it gave me no avenues to pursue an inherent creativity. Noelle helped me recognise (or at least verbalise to someone else) that what I really want to do is write. Life, children and paying mortgages pushed this ambition aside in the past but never quashed it entirely. My perceived responsibility for others had, in the past, always taken precedence over being happy in a job but now I see that if I'm not happy it's actually very unlikely that the rest of my family will be either! Talking to Noelle has made be see that doing things just for me is not necessarily a bad thing (something all mums should take heed of!).
Having been somewhat sceptical of all types of life coaching in the past, I now take back any negative things I have ever said or thought about it! Everyone should have an Noelle to help them sort out their lives, she doesn't tell you what to do rather she enables you to make any necessary changes by arming you with the tools to help yourself - confidence, self belief and the ability to continually reassess thoughts, dreams and ambitions. The past weeks have been invaluable for me and I wouldn't hesitate to contact Noelle again in the future should I need her gentle guidance.
Noelle has guided me to realise who I am and what motivates me. Although I am not an ambitious person I have usually done well in life, something I previously put down to being in the right place at the right time. Through Noelle's coaching I recognise that I have a goal orientated, conscientious and determined personality. Some of the things I set out wanting to change I have since realised are a part of who I am & after reflection decided that most are actually quite desirable qualities now I know how to channel them better. Some of the others I have started to change. I have personally found some of the smallest changes have made the biggest differences and coaching for me was a very pleasant and illuminating experience. I found Noelle easy to work with and would recommend her to anyone considering coaching.
When I first spoke to Noelle, I was in a terrible frame of mind. I was totally overwhelmed with life, work, my family, everything! Everything was an effort, and everything got in the way of everything else. I couldn't see the woods for the trees. The slightest thing would send me into a spiral of negative thinking that would result in worry, sleepless nights and general feelings of despair. I do not really know how or why I got to where I was, but I got there anyway. Noelle is easy to talk to, is an excellent listener and above all is non-judgemental. I felt comfortable talking and expressing my feelings to Noelle in a way that I could not have done with my family or friends. In just four sessions, plus a free introductory talk, Noelle made me see that the negative thinking into which I had almost trained myself could be reversed by applying simple but hugely effective techniques. After just four weeks I find myself looking at life with a different perspective. I would never say that I am cured, because I wasn't ill in the first place. What Noelle has done is shown me the way to a life of self improvement that I could not have found without him. She really has shown me the Pathways to a better life!
