"Lee Chalmers, one of Britain's foremost personal development coaches and possessor of more charisma per inch than any woman in northern Europe."
Guy Browning, The Guardian, Nov 2004


"I needed to take control of my life but I had lost my focus on how or why to do that. The first step to change this was to arrange to see Lee. Within only a few sessions I had found myself a great new job, with fantastic prospects and a good salary. I also decided to move house and I am now incredibly happy where I am living, which I hadn't been previously. This has been one of the most worthwhile things I have ever done and I have been recommending Lee to everyone I know."
Kate Rees, London


"From session one Lee was an incredible inspiration. When you're so wrapped up in your own beliefs of what's possible and what isn't, you vastly limit your enjoyment of life. Lee has an uncanny ability in being able to find your loose ends, tug at them and unravel the knots, with patience, determination and enormous enthusiasm. In our period of six months, I progressed greatly in my career, my fear was removed from my decision making and my self imposed limitations ceased. Truly wonderful stuff. Thanks Lee!"
Phil Askew, Photographer. Flare.uk.com


"I cannot praise enough your intuition of business and willingness to make me come up with my own solutions such that I now have a clearer idea of what I want to achieve and how to go about it. With your penetrating questions and encouragement I would not have got anywhere near where I am. The goals you helped me set are attainable and you also helped me plot how to achieve them. You have been practical and inspirational. I shall recommend you wherever I can with a view to obtaining referrals because the people under your tutelage will be most fortunate."
Lynne Brooke, Vizards Tweedie


"In a sentence, Lee has taught me how to live. In 3 months, Lee's approach has developed in me a level of self-confidence that is absolutely unprecedented in my experience. There is no magic button to press here, I've been working very hard and more work is afoot but gosh is it worth it!!! At 33 I feel excited about life again because it finally has a purpose; MY purpose."
Joe Medici, IT Consultant


"When I came to Lee I was frustrated, unfulfilled and working in a career where although I was successful, it just didn't fill me with passion or inspiration. But, I had no idea where to start or where I wanted to go. 6 months later, I now have a clear purpose for my life and have already put actions in place to realise my new goals and new career! Lee was the enabler for this process, through her continuous belief, inspiration and ability to help unlock what was already hidden within me. Thank you so much! It was a rollercoaster journey, but always a pleasure to work with you."
JD, Managment Consultant


"I decided to take up life coaching as I was unsure of what to do with my career and it had been recommended by a friend. It didn't really end up being about my job, but more about my life as a whole, and I really feel that I have got my priorities sorted out in my head, and I am in control of what is happening. I also feel that I have got a more positive outlook and all 8 most important areas of my life have improved."
CJ, Area Manager, Surrey


"When it comes to living your life on purpose, Lee Chalmers is your best role model! She brings her unique authenticity to her work with her clients. I knew what I wanted to do, but hadn't given myself permission to do it. Lee helped me focus on what I needed to do to achieve what I wanted; and with that gave me renewed confidence, vigour and energy, enabling me to give myself permission to realise my goal."
Liz Woods, Communication Consultant, Kingston


"Lee, you are the best example of your own methods; you believe and it happens. Whether one has personal dreams or business goals, you instil in others that rare ability to believe. You replace disorder, confusion, and uncertainty with calm, understanding, and clarity. You listen, you understand, you inspire and you guide towards conclusion. I can't think of anyone more qualified to take on the responsibility of mentor and coach."
Marie Bowdler, Advantage Computer Training London


"The greatest value I found in working with Lee was in her ability to become the personification of my conscience. Rather than the easy-to-ignore little voice in my head keeping me on course, Lee was a hard-to-ignore voice at the end of the phone line. My goals - through Lee - gained the the same level of priority as my clients', which, after 10 years of putting clients' aims and deadlines before mine, was quite something."
Jeff Fuge, Director, Objective Ingenuity Ltd


"Every now and then, you stop what you're doing and think, surely there's more to life than this? I made a change, I jumped into the void. But I found myself a particularly comfy ledge to sit on about half way down and I was properly stuck. This is where I met Lee. She pulled me up, pushed me off and then jumped after me. We plummeted, soared and I eventually touched down in my new life. 

Lee Chalmers has an infectious and unshakeable belief that everyone has what it takes within them to live the life they deserve and if somebody believes in you that much you can't help but make the leap! Thank you Lee."
Neil Humphrey, Graphic Designer, Chimera Design


"Lee Chalmers...more wise friend than guru..."
Serena Mackesey, The Times Body & Soul, July 2005


"Four weeks was all I had to achieve my goal. I really didn't think it was possible and thought Lee only thought it possible because she hadn't seen the whole picture of my circumstances. I did achieve my goal in four weeks and so much more! I realise now that Lee didn't think it was possible she knew it was possible because she has learned to let go of the self limiting beliefs which hold us all back. Lee's overwhelming positive attitude is thankfully infectious."
Gemma Taylor Apache Tears


'The management coaching I have received from Lee Chalmers has been invaluable. Her mentoring has enabled me to make significant improvements within my team. I have seen incredibly positive effects through the implimentation of Lee's practical and insightful coaching. Targets are now being met regularly, team morale is high and I now feel that I have the necessary tools to continue to develop a highly effective team.'
Paul Sartain, Argos Superstores


"Lee Chalmers has been an excellent coach and instrumental in helping me to drastically change my working and personal life. I have now been able to re-evaluate my priorities and have realised that my 'make up' was more suited to my new career path. I am happier, fitter and more productive than I have been in 5 years. A big thank you."
Andrew Vicary, Tastebuds Cleaning, Kingston


"Many thanks for your coaching, it was more than sufficient to help me prioritise the important elements of the very complicated issues I am currently facing. I would have no problem recommending your services and 'structured' approach. Thanks again."
Mamita Woodward, Chimera Design


"Lee Chalmers is one of the UK's leading personal development coaches. She has changed my life! I work for a major supermarket chain but lost my dream of becoming a Radio DJ when I was a child. Lee has opened my eyes to my dreams and now I live my life how I see fit and not how others think I should live it. Thanks Lee"
James Henning, Freelance Radio DJ


"Lee Chalmers is an inspiring coach in the truest sense. She believed in my abilities when I didn't and always strived for me to give more of myself than I felt like on any given day. Lee made me remember what I hold important in my life and then challenged me to reintroduce my favourite aspects of myself back into my day to day living. I began to think more positively about all aspects of my life. I have since carried on her belief in me."
Nancy Doan, US Retail Manager


Lee Chalmers will change your life if you want it to change. My aim was to sort out my debts. Through Lee, I am more financially secure. Lee is generous. She will give you 110% of her time, no matter when. Lee is conscientious, caring and fun to be with. Book now to get a new life."
Matt Barrett, Entertainment Specialist


"I just want to say a big thank you for waking me up to the actions and steps that I must perform to obtain happier life for myself and my family! You have been a great help." Duong Tran , Simple Edge Ltd "Lee's input throughout her coaching sessions were, frankly, a revelation and she highlighted to me a number of bad practices which I wasn't even aware of. I believe I'm now a better listener, a better delegator, a better boss, I'm working less hours and I'm achieving more of my business and personal goals (e.g. playing tennis). She's thoroughly recommended."
Guy Fallows - Fallows & Company, Chartered Accountants


"Whilst I was intially dubious about the whole life coaching thing, Lee was very good at being just the sort of coach I wanted. She wasn't too pushy and helped me to come to my own conclusions. She's an inspiration to those who want to follow their dreams."
Ellen Joy, Borders UK


"Working with Lee Chalmers had given me the courage and energy I needed to start to realise the goals I had suppressed for so long. If you need to rediscover what you are passionate about and find a way to make it the main feature in your life, I highly recommend a session with Lee. I now start my day with renewed vigor, knowing that I can achieve whatever I set my mind to. Lee has empowered me, let her do the same for you!"

Delusions odf Gender Delusions of Gender

Dr Fine argues powerfully that the way we raise our children is the basis for gender differences, not structural differences in the brain. Controversial and compelling.
