“I absolutely loved this read - and you will too. Honestly, there are very few books in this space that I've read that are educational without being dry, inspiring without being trite, but most importantly fun, in a world of crazy chaos, and reasons to feel mopey, this read gave me everything I needed to get up and get on it.”
“Change can feel… big, scary and out of control. However, don’t worry – this book is what you need. Charlotte has drawn on her extensive experience as a coaching psychologist to help you create a practical plan for success, based on the pace of change that’s most comfortable for you… I also loved reading the stories of many other people making changes – it helps you feel that you’re not alone during this period of transformation. I found this book a brilliant guide to helping me make the necessary changes in my life. I hope it helps you too.”
I loved reading this book. What jumped out for me were the real-life case studies of people who have made… changes in their lives. I found these both inspiring and motivating. I also found the regular encouragement to complete the exercises and work on the book in small chunks useful, which helped prevent me from going for it all at once and getting overwhelmed. An inspiring and motivating guide to making change.
“This is a brilliant read for everyone who wants to bring about changes in their life and needs a bit of guidance. The author has all the experience required and the capability to write in an entertaining and really funny way. Highly recommended for everyone who might normally shy away from a self-help book, because you will learn, be entertained and challenge yourself with the exercises.”

“What I loved about this book is how it looks at the concept of change from lots of different angles. I loved all the stories of other people’s journeys, realising that I’m not alone… The author’s experience as both a change consultant and a coaching psychologist brings a unique dimension; with useful exercises, prompts to reflect and detailed explanations of why change can be feel so hard…it really digs into understanding the process of change and how to navigate it all. Such a brilliant and inspiring read.”

“This is a book grounded in listening to the life changing stories of many people, drawing out insights with empathy and appreciation, and placing them in an easy-to-understand framework. I enjoyed the gentle humour and cartoons…. A book to dip into for insight, to make you think about your own situation, and aims, and to start your own journey of change.”
“Going through change can be tough. It can be overwhelming to face it, digest it, act upon it, find direction. Swim Jump Fly is a wonderful book which asks powerful questions and helps you to reflect, get moving and find direction. It's empathetic, encouraging and energizing! It's like a personal coach at arms reach. Like talking to a good friend. It’s a beautifully illustrated, intelligently written book!”
