Praise for Dr Rebecca Stafford's work: 'SUE', PART-TIME UNIVERSITY STUDENT, BUSINESS OWNER, WIFE, MOTHER, TAURANGA A+! I'm pretty chuffed with that!!!!! I am very proud of getting more life balance along with study and getting an amazing result! Thank you Rebecca, understanding what was behind my procrastination and self-sabotaging behaviors was like turning the light on. I am now able to move forward with confidence (and less fear) knowing that I have an amazing toolkit of learnings and techniques to help keep me on track. You're a star! COLLEGE STUDENT, 16 YEARS, AUCKLAND Rebecca helped me improve my motivation and study skills when I was sitting my level 1 NCEA exams. I think what helped most was understanding that I procrastinated because I was scared of failing, not because I was lazy. Rebecca also showed me how to study more effectively. My time management and concentration are much better. I'm pretty sure she helped me get a merit endorsement. It was good being less anxious around exam time too. TERESA NAGEL, M.Sc., WELLINGTON I was privileged to have Rebecca's guidance at the time I was struggling to complete my Master's thesis. By encouraging me to practice [psychology] strategies, I was able to manage my anxiety and overcome my procrastination. Had it not been for Rebecca, I doubt I would have been able to continue. I owe the completion of my thesis entirely to her intervention SABRINA GREGORIAN, WRITER, LOS ANGELES Within a few minutes of talking with Rebecca, my puzzling, frustrating behaviors made much more sense to me. She provided me with enlightening information as well as with the tools to apply the information to my life, and with her help I've made some great changes. One of which I know many people struggle with... exercising. This had been a struggle of mine for years, but within a month of working with Rebecca I now exercise one hour a day, at least five days a week.. and I absolutely love it. This has impacted the quality of my life in ways I can't put into words. I've also become more efficient overall - in time management and work productivity.
