For the past three years, Novelette and I worked together on improving my personal health and fitness. She took the time to build a strong professional relationship, as well as gain an in-depth understanding of my health goals and some of the roadblocks I faced in trying to achieve them.
Novelette was thorough, extremely professional, polite, and always left me with a sense of purpose in resuming my desire to live a healthier life. During our quarterly sessions, she would recap our previous session and review goals that were set. And, at the end of each session, Novelette would repeat back three or four goals we had agreed upon, for my undertaking.
Although clear in her recommendations, Novelette oftentimes, helped me to find the solutions and articulate my goals; she was careful not to prescribe — enabling me to own my goals.
