Case Studies

“What I’m doing is enough. I don’t always have to be beyond that.”

Anna Wood · Photographer and business owner · 1:1 coaching

Anna’s business looked fine from the outside and ran on quiet panic underneath. The work started with one question: are you allowed to make mistakes? A year on she works less, earns more, and protects a full day off a week.

“Never has the clichéd expression ‘you don’t know what you don’t know’ been more relevant.”

Bevan Yates · Cactus IT · Business Owner Group Programme

Bevan built his IT business on trust and carried every bit of it himself. Three sessions alongside other owners taught him the difference between handing over a task and handing over ownership. He now runs a four-day week, and his North Star is written: enable the business to grow without me.

“They will save me at least three days per month.”

Heidi Pattison · HP Cleaning · Business Owner Group Programme

Heidi’s team of eighteen trusted her with everything, and everything is what she carried. The programme moved her from control to trust: the work phone now goes down on Friday and stays down, and the senior she trained carries work that was always hers.

"Big shift away from troubleshooting and being the final answer, and moving towards focusing on sales and building the sales engine."

Dan · Connect It All · Business Owner Group Programme

Dan came to the programme to optimise, not repair, then found what was actually holding the business back: he was its only salesperson, and the person his team waited on for every green light. He held the team meeting he had been avoiding and was honest with them about his own impact. A new business plan and sales engine are now underway, and his team makes the day-to-day calls without him.

“She asked the questions I didn’t always want to answer, but they were exactly the questions I needed to hear.”

Kerry Smith · White Rose Training · Business Owner Group Programme

A year into running her training business, Kerry was teaching, doing the admin, serving the customers and holding the strategy in her head. Always firefighting. Now she finishes at eight instead of ten, weekends are hers again, and no less gets done.

"You unlocked areas of me that I already had in me, but I wasn't able to unlock. Like waking up after your first workout and finding muscles you didn't know you had."

Qasim Akhtar · Chairman, Bradford City Women & Girls · 1:1 coaching

Qasim has chaired the club since he was twenty three, with no training and no playbook behind him. By last November he was firefighting, absorbing everything himself and doing jobs his people never got the chance to grow into. Eight months on he talks about leading the club rather than managing it, and the first team went up at the end of the most successful season in the club’s history.

“I’m never going to be loud, but I can be quietly confident.”

T · Senior leader · 1:1 coaching

T moved fast into a senior role and privately questioned whether he was ready for it. Six months of coaching anchored him in his own values instead of an imagined standard. Decision-making confidence went from three out of ten to seven, energy from two to seven, and he backs his own judgement in rooms where he used to second-guess it.

Testimonials

"Jasmine Clarke spoke at our Quarterly Business Bees networking event in January 2026 and was absolutely brilliant. Her session on Choosing a Word for the Year was engaging, calm, and incredibly well pitched for business owners and senior leaders. Jasmine has a natural way of creating space for reflection while still offering practical takeaways. The session was thoughtful, accessible, and energising without being overwhelming. Attendees left with clear insights, prompts they could immediately use, and a renewed sense of focus for the year ahead. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jasmine to organisations or leadership groups looking for impactful, engaging sessions."

Craven Consultancy Services

"Jasmine attended our conference to provide sessions for our franchisees around mindset and they were really well delivered and received. She listened to exactly what we wanted and we received some great feedback. We would not hesitate to recommend Jasmine and have since asked her to provide mindset training for all franchisees!"

"Jasmine is fantastic. I can't remember the last time I met such an inspiring, authentic and engaging trainer. Having spent an evening and day with Jasmine I am inspired with renewed purpose and practical tools to achieve my goals."

"Jasmine is an excellent communicator whose passion for empowering people is evident from the very first word of her sessions. Blending humour, vulnerability and experience, Jasmine makes her sessions fun and practical. I always leave with an achievable plan. Book her - you won't regret it."

"Super-practical, with lots of sound advice backed up with scientific evidence. Jaz is really engaging and delivers it in a relatable way."

"Thank you for a great training session today - I got twice as much done this afternoon using your tools than this morning!"

  Jasmine has such a wonderfully gentle way of coaching. You enter the session thinking you know what you want to talk about but something always unearths itself - something I’d never thought of in that way or a lightbulb moment appears. Clear action points and a great summary was received afterwards to refer back to. Everyone needs a bit of Jasmine in their life!

  Jasmine Clarke from Zest Ex Coaching spoke at our Quarterly Business Bees networking event in January 2026 and was absolutely brilliant.

Her session on Choosing a Word for the Year was engaging, calm, and incredibly well pitched for business owners and senior leaders. Jasmine has a natural way of creating space for reflection while still offering practical takeaways, and the concept of using one word as an anchor for clarity and direction really resonated with the room.

The session was thoughtful, accessible, and energising without being overwhelming. Attendees left with clear insights, prompts they could immediately use, and a renewed sense of focus for the year ahead.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jasmine to organisations or leadership groups looking for impactful, engaging coaching-led sessions.

  It is amazing how much clarity you can get in an hour when you have someone asking the right questions. Thanks Jasmine for a super productive coaching session last week. So many "Aha-moments" and a realistic action plan. Looking forward to implementing what we talked about and to the next session.

  I really enjoyed coaching experience with Jasmine.

From the start of the process, Jasmine created a comfortable and safe environment to explore my challenges and development needs.

Jasmine offered insight and guidance to help me work through roadblocks and look at challenges and obstacles in the round, this helped unlock different approaches and also helped me identify areas of personal achievement and capability that I had not previously recognised.

I would definitely recommend coaching to anyone seriously looking to improve their own outlook and performance, and I cannot imagine working with a better coach than Jasmine.

  I approached Jasmine at Zest when my son was having a few life challenges, he has had fortnightly sessions with Jasmine and the difference in him is amazing, she coached him into setting his own goals and working towards completely changing his mindset and outlook going forward.  I would not hesitate to recommend Zest Coaching, it has made a real noticeable difference to my son and he now has set plans looking ahead to his future.

  I had my first session with Jasmine and I’m already feeling so much clearer and more focused. In just one call, she helped me get unstuck, organise my thoughts, and see a better way forward in my business.

I left the session feeling motivated, supported and like I actually have a plan I can stick to (without the overwhelm!). Excited to put everything into action and highly recommend if you’re needing a productivity boost or just some clarity on what to do next.

  We had the pleasure of working with Jasmine to redesign our training program, and the results were fantastic. Her innovative approach and deep understanding of adult learning principles transformed our outdated program into an engaging, and effective system.

Jasmine demonstrated exceptional expertise in tailoring the curriculum to meet our unique needs, ensuring it was both relevant and impactful.

Communication was seamless throughout the project, with clear timelines, proactive updates, and a willingness to incorporate feedback.

We wholeheartedly recommend Jasmine to any organisation seeking to progress a project effecitvely and efficiently. Her professionalism, creativity, and dedication is excellent.
