Paciva
My name is Pavica and I am a Case manager at Community Care (Northern Beaches)Ltd. I got in touch with Margaret Lagoni through The Practice Room Program, a 12 weeks training and practice development program organised by Zakumi Consulting Group. As a part of this training we had 2 coaching sessions with Margaret. I was really excited about this as my initial thoughts were that coaching was only available to executives and corporate people. I found my time with Margaret really good and beneficial as it helped me to clarify some of my professional goals and dilemmas. It has also enabled me to establish some clearer goals in future and to motivate me to work on some of my personal barriers which we identified together. It was good to work with you Margaret. Thanks.
...more testimonials"I had very little understanding about the coaching experience before engaging Margaret. I knew that is was about me doing the talking and the coach doing the listening and reflecting what was heard.
It turned out to be much more than that. After 2 sessions, I walked away with a profound sense of clarity and a greater understanding of myself, my reactions and how I had channeled my energy and focus at work. Attending coaching is a safe, secure and confidential manner to get to the heart of any self perceived problem. I look forward to future coaching sessions with Margaret as I realise my potential and ability to provide positive outcomes in my workplace."

What is Respite?
Everyone's situation is different and so are their needs for respite.
Caring is a rewarding experience, but it can also be very demanding and sometimes carers may need help and support.
Respite helps you rest and recover, build resilience and find the balance between caring for others and caring for yourself. Respite helps you care for longer and is essential to your wellbeing.
Respite means different things to different people and can take many forms according to the needs of individual families.
Respite is a chance for everyone to have a break, including sometimes the person who is being cared for. Whether the break is for a few hours or a few days, Riverlink’s respite provides a positive, enjoyable experience for the person you care for as well as a rest for you.
As families and carers have different respite needs, there are many different types of respite services available including: respite provided in a person’s home, or in a range of community settings or outings or weekend camps.
