But Jeni will admit that quite a lot of thecredit is down to her succession of cats, from whom she has pickedup a great deal about how to handle the ups and downs oflife.* One of the things Jeni likes best about being a coach is that shefeels she always gets as much out of the experience as her clientsand she can't thank them enough for the honour of seeing themmove themselves from frustration to power.
