“I cannot recommend this programme highly enough, yet, I shall try!
Elev8 was one the best investments I made on myself and for myself. I vividly remember coming in contact with this amazing opportunity one late evening while scrolling through Facebook. I had been praying for weeks for some sort of help, for some guidance in how to quiet that very unkind voice in my head and empower the go getter in me.
In theory I knew it all, hours and hours of reading, following successful women in a variety of fields, listening to podcasts and following all the 5, 7 and 10 step programmes to unleash your potential! But I was missing something. I knew where I wanted to go but when it came to taking actions and ripping the benefits of my hard-work, I would fail short. I would convince myself that it was too soon, I just needed another Diploma or certification, if I just read a few more books and, worked a little bit harder...
Pimmi and, her team supported me in visualizing, creating and maintaining a bridge between my Higher Self and the physical world. Long story short, I went for being over worked and under paid to having two jobs offers from major companies within my field. I knew my worth and was driven to let them know it too. I was honest and straightforward with what I had to offer and the compensation and benefits that would match my input into the company. Each recruiter and HR representative thank me and offered me what I asked for and, sometimes even more!
It works. It really does. Fight the fear, trust Pimmi, she will be by your side. She will deliver every day. She will make sure you elevate to the point that you will not accept anything that does not match your worth!
Plus, the benefits from the programme are lasting, it is an investment for life that will repay itself tenfold!
Be brave, honour your dreams and, see you soon on the other side!”

“Pimmi posses the unique ability to guide professional women in very profound and impactful way. Her toolkit is packed with the right balance of empathy, business acumen and professional knowledge to address any immediate and/or long term roadblocks. She is the type of work-life coach that will support you on your journey to success every step of the way.”

“I don’t think words can explain how much Pimmi has helped me in the sessions with her. My self-esteem and confidence have improved vastly, she is a natural healer with great intuition and someone who is very easy to talk to. My view of myself and my interactions with normal daily life have changed for the better just by her book recommendations, confidence techniques and being open with her.

I first started having speaking sessions with Pimmi but what I found was that it was my inner critic that needed working on the most. After working on my inner core I found confidence not just in speaking but everything else too. I view the world differently now and for the better. I have made improvements on thinking for myself, having boundaries and I also don’t feel as anxious anymore simply by knowing that I don’t need to. Pimmi comes highly recommended by me!”

“Pimmi is an outstanding coach who worked with me over a number of sessions. Her sessions are focused and she provided exercises and techniques to improve my voice along with encouraging and constructive feedback. Thank you Pimmi for giving me the confidence to find and own my voice. The learning with her has been enjoyable. She was empathic and honest and I found the sessions were practical and specific to my needs. I have learnt a wealth of techniques and I am no longer feeling the fear I once felt around public speaking. ”

“I have finally landed the role that I so badly wanted…The sessions I had with you have been pivotal for me… Making a dent into the glass ceiling is difficult in tax if you are a foreign woman, but perseverance (and a great coach) are key.
”

“Pimmi has been instrumental in helping to kick start my professional career. As someone entering the working environment for the first time, I found myself struggling to adapt to my surroundings. I found it difficult speaking in meetings and interacting with my colleagues. Pimmi has really helped me find my own voice and realise that my opinions and suggestions need to be heard. Through her career coaching, she has instilled a confidence in me which I did not have before and I cannot thank her enough for all of help. I am always recommending her to my friends and family because she is simply brilliant. ”

“I thoroughly enjoy my sessions with Pimmi as I’m given an insight into aspects of my life that I hadn’t understood/ learned of before. The sessions therefore give me a much richer perspective on my life, goals and relationships. Pimmi is a very astute life coach and regularly suggests reading material and activities to help incorporate a new perspective into my life. With her experience and knowledge she is very good at contextualising my mindset and life experiences. She furthermore uses this to suggest how I can channel my energy into having a more constructive outlook on life, which in turn enables me to become more productive. I generally find that I have an epiphany with every session, as we touch upon points that had not been mentioned to me before or were not emphasised enough during the course of my life.”

“Pimmi is a fantastic coach. She helped me to identify blockers that were holding me back in my career, particularly my inner critic. She enabled me to look back over my career and my life to understand where this self-doubt was coming from. Having identified what was causing this, Pimmi introduced me to techniques that helped me to recognise when the inner critic was appearing and how to deal with it to enable me to move forward with my career.

I would recommend Pimmi to anyone who has come to a stalling point in their career and needs help to identify what is holding them back and stopping them from progressing to the next level. Pimmi will not only help you to identify these blockers but will provide you with techniques to help you break through them. Having someone independent from my work environment made opening up easier and I plan to continue working with Pimmi to further self-develop.”

“After having just a few career coaching sessions with Pimmi, I felt much more confident. We went through some interview questions that I was not feeling confident about and she explained the meaning behind these questions and helped me craft eloquent answers to the ones I found particularly challenging.

We also reviewed my CV and changed some parts so it went from being task based to achievement based, which really highlighted my personality and what I’ve done. I was looking for a job in a slightly different field, but didn’t think I had enough experience - Pimmi helped me to convey my passion through my CV. I was able to see my strengths, which were not obvious to me before and change those on my CV.”

“I first reached out to Pimmi because I was keen to get some help to improve the clarity in my speaking, whether in an everyday work discussion, crucial pitching situations or when having to do audience based speeches.

I was instantly captivated by her approach to coaching where she aided my speaking sessions by making each one feel very natural thanks to her professional and well researched methods.

I’ve remained one of her clients because her methods have improved my communication significantly, so much so, that I have decided that all my employees, current and future ones should be provided a coaching session with Pimmi, to help them with their communication challenges. She is that good.”

“The sessions I had with Pimmi enabled me to approach the Interviews with much more confidence and it gave me the tools I needed to do well. The role play helped to think about how to behave and answer in different situations and I was given some tough questions I didn’t expect. Afterwards I definitely felt ready. I am so pleased the interviews went smoothly and I did actually get the job as well! I warmly recommend Pimmi. I definitely learnt a lot.”

“Pimmi was my coach for several sessions and I found her to be a very warm and pleasant person. As a result, I looked forward and enjoyed the sessions immensely. She was very good at building my confidence... and after various sessions I was a much more confident public speaker. I used to find speaking in groups daunting but now I am happier with myself in the way I feel sharing my opinions. Pimmi was instrumental in guiding me and finally helping me understand that my ideas and my views matter. I have noticed great changes in the way I communicate with people now. Pimmi is always so focused on your learning process and her methodology is very holistic. She is a good listener and is always very professional. I would highly recommend her.”

“I would strongly recommend Pimmi to anyone who is looking to gain greater confidence in public speaking. In a very short space of time I now feel much more confident when presenting to an audience. This is down to the way that Pimmi is able to work alongside me to structure my presentations. Now when I do the ‘live’ presentation I know that I have prepared something that the audience will be able to follow easily.”

“When I first initially contacted Pimmi, I was immediately drawn into her approach into vocal coaching and was convinced by her holistic approach and methodology.
Though initially apprehensive about lessons via skype/FaceTime, as opposed to real life, my scepticism was quickly dissolved within a couple of sessions; the interpersonal interaction as well as clarity of sound was not lost at all via the internet.

I believe in learning anything that honest feedback, a personal connection with the teacher and a psychologically supportive environment are vital factors. As my lessons progressed with Pimmi, I came to appreciate more and more of her professionalism, expertise and noticed good progress towards fulfilling my objectives; always moving closer to the desired goals and results.

I find Pimmi’s holistic approach to be very logical, personal and very effective. Not only have I gotten over my impediment, but I have also been able to transfer the learning skills acquired into my daily life; gaining more confidence in my other endeavours beyond vocal elocution.

On a personal note, Pimmi is a very easy person to get along with; she is genuinely patient, empathetic and her ability to make you feel at ease, whilst learning something new are signs of a good teacher.”

“There are coaches and then there are true coaches: Pimmi Pande is one of the latter. She has the technical knowledge and personal skills to help you achieve your goals. Her coaching helped me achieve mine.”

“Pimmi is an incredibly nurturing coach, whose encouragement and support helped me through a presentation I was dreading. She was skillful at picking up areas where I needed improvement and offering useful techniques in public speaking. I really appreciate the progress I have made and happily recommend Vocalise.”

“Pimmi was immediately able to pick up on my areas of weakness, but also my strengths. In just a few sessions her sessions helped me to improve on the former and make the most of the latter. She has given me useful techniques to deploy when speaking publicly, and also provided the support and encouragement that I needed to grow more self-confident when doing so. I very much recommend Vocalise.”

“I would highly recommend Pimmi as a vocal coach. She is experienced and motivating and a pleasure to work with. From the very first session she put me at ease and has been inspirational since in helping me achieve my goals. Each session has been personally tailored to my needs, picking out just those things I need to focus on, while leading me in a step-by-step progression of improvement. She is never short of ideas to help overccome difficulties and has given me many useful techniques to help me get around certain communication difficulties I’ve encountered.”

“I am amazed how quickly you tuned into my son’s personality and captured his interest. I am grateful that you put so much heart in the lessons, and that you made the lessons energetic and fun for a teenager. He has made tremendous progress with his speech, and that has had a positive influence on his self confidence and his social interactions. Had I known the process would be so much fun for him, I would have started years ago.
Thanks again!”

“Just to let you know the good news following my recent interview for Outreach Manager, I’ve been offered the position! I’m really pleased and thanks for your support. ”

“I first went to Vocalise when I was put at risk of redundancy owing to cutbacks and restructuring in my organisation. Due to my more mature years and not having done an interview for at least fifteen years I was very apprehensive. I had already had number of interviews, but with very little success.

Pimmi put me at ease straightaway. She showed me several steps and processes which helped me address my barriers and develop simple strategies. She was understanding, very helpful and made me feel positive about my abilities. After just two sessions with Pimmi, I had another interview and was successful in securing a new position.”

“I would warmly recommend Pimmi as she is really experienced and motivating. She could quickly understand my specific needs for public speaking, presentation and communication purposes, and come up with useful training exercises. I was very satisfied with the progress made during my training, and the improved quality of my performance as a public speaker at conferences and round-tables.”

“The sessions I have are structured well and I always have a good time. My Coach is very experienced, helpful and encouraging and quickly adapts her style according to my ability ...”

“My Coach has reinforced my self esteem, working with my strengths ... public speaking is one area that we have worked extensively on with extraordinary success ...”

“Pimmi was excellent at coming up with a tailored programme for me. I found myself significantly improved in writing and giving presentations. I highly recommend Vocalise.”
