Reviews from coaches, psychologists, careers advisors and other professionals
“It’s just an amazing resource for coaches!” Supervisor, Coach and Consultant
“I'm loving Swim Jump Fly and have just recommended it to one of my coaching clients. We talked through some of the models, and she was able to bring much needed perspective to something that had initially felt overpowering.” Leadership Coach
“This is a great toolkit for coaches, containing easy to use processes and metaphors for supporting clients and can be a resource or gift to share with them. Theoretically based but deeply human in its execution, the book draws on extensive research and a diverse range of stories of personal change, from people across the globe, industries and stages of life. This breadth is not that common in books like this and keeps the stories fresh.” Executive Coach and ex Director of Coaching at global Management Consultancy
“Swim Jump Fly is a treasure trove to help anyone wanting to make a change but unsure what direction they want to go in. Charlotte Sheridan seamlessly uses psychological concepts and coaching tools and exercises in an accessible and easy to implement way. I have recommended this book to a number of coaching clients looking for a career change as a way to make progress outside of the coaching sessions. It is written lightly, but using deep psychological expertise. A great book for anyone feeling stuck on their change journey. Executive Coach
“This is so unlike the other books that I have bought to enhance my professional knowledge… It has humour, real stories and fab cartoons throughout! Underpinning this readable book are coaching theories and models and I found the summary section of each chapter very useful… It's definitely one to include in anyone's 'must read' list.” Career Development Professional
“Swim Jump Fly is a great read – its informal, yet informative, style illustrates the depth and breadth of the author’s experience - psychologist, coach and change management consultant. It's fun too – a very easy and accessible read for individuals needing support, as well as being a wonderful toolkit and resource for coaches. I’ve therefore recommended it to a number of my own clients.” Coaching Supervisor and Executive Coach
“I love the author’s style of writing. She beautifully knits together the concepts of change and the reality of human experiences. The whole book is full of concepts and thoughts and examples like a delightful buffet of change ideas.” Coach, Supervisor, Facilitator
“It is honestly fantastic… There are so many different levels for engaging with it and the writing is so clear, so engaging… It’s both light and powerful, a real achievement.” Health Education England Training Programme Director
“I have offered this book to friends and recommended it to clients… It is very informative, well-documented, well-written, fluid and engaging. I really like the cartoons and the wide range of real stories. It offers a great guidance to navigate uncertain times and changes or to simply work on what's next… Charlotte's genuine passion for people and her delightful sense of humour make the book really easy to read. For me Swim Jump Fly is a great source of inspiration and resources and I would highly recommend it. Executive Coach and Hypnotherapist
“I loved the tone of this book. It's simultaneously challenging and supportive, very kind and at times gloriously humorous. It feels like a conversation with a friend who will ask you all the right questions, challenge your thinking, and support you to the end… a resource to plan and make personal change, and a resource for those who help others through change.” Executive coach, Leadership and Change Management Consultant
“I absolutely love this book. I've recommended it to a few coaching clients already. It’s a great book to think deeply about your 'what next', what change you really do want and how you might go about achieving it in the best way for you as an individual… The book explores change… gently and curiously working with you at the pace that’s right for you.” Supervisor, Coach
“Swim Jump Fly is a fabulous resource for coaches working with people or organisations in transitions, or as a guide for anyone going through a personal transition." Chartered Occupational Psychologist, Leadership Consultant, Executive Coach
“Swim Jump Fly is brilliant. I’m already hooked! The author’s voice, energy and humour come across so clearly. You can just imagine her gently prodding you to do the right thing - to keep reading and making changes to improve your own life." Director of Performance and Change
“I loved the style, warm tone and all the stories in this book. It’s accessible and helpful with really practical tools to help anyone through personal change.” Consultancy CEO and Coach
“The author's background is in Change Management, Psychology and Coaching and this breadth of knowledge/approach shows up consistently throughout the book. There are the disciplines, structure and models of change management, but these are combined with a deep understanding of the emotional and practical reactions people encounter when wishing to make changes in their lives. The numerous case studies, quotes and references add colour and relevance.” Change Management Consultant
