'Coaching has helped me develop a broader, heightened sense of perspective on my own issues and those of the organisation. I thought you struck the perfect balance for my specific needs.'
Dan Rothschild, Head of Portfolio Analysis - BT Group
‘The value in having a completely non-judgmental sounding board is priceless. I have moved from the place of ‘can I?’ to ‘I can’. It is all within myself and I know that. Just having some good coaching tips on how to ‘overcome that nagging self doubt’ is great. The experience has been relaxed and non-threatening but has made me think very differently about myself. Self confidence has given me the strength to make a real difference. Do not change anything about your coaching please.’
Sue Billington, Programme Director - BT Group, March 2007
‘I would strongly recommend receiving coaching from someone with the type of background and success that you have had. Coaching has encouraged me to be more self reliant, more optimistic and more pro-active. What I found most useful was your insatiable optimism and blind faith in my ability! I always came out of the sessions more upbeat than when I went in – that in itself is worth money.’
John Lyle, Lead for Customer Data Transformation - BT Retail
‘I learnt things about myself that I didn’t know and it really helped put things into perspective and guide my decisions. It also helped me really come to terms with my strengths and be more confident about what I could achieve. The insights that I gained really gave me the platform that I needed to be able to make some difficult decisions and move my career forward in the way I wanted. The most useful thing has been your ability to listen and also the insightful challenging questions that have really forced me to think about WHY? Both in terms of my personal motivations, my career decisions and what I can achieve.’
Jim Craig, Manager, Advisory Services - Ernst and Young
‘Coaching with you has enabled me to release my potential and achieve goals which I originally thought were not possible. As a leader, it has given me greater understanding of other people, the importance of relationships, teamwork, common objectives, reward and recognition, and the realisation that it is not just what you achieve but how you achieve it.’
Elaine Miller, Partnership Director, BT Global Services, BT HP
‘On the outside I was a 'successful' woman with a good job, a nice house and wonderful children. On the inside however it was constant turmoil. Since working with you, I have more insight and learnt tools/methods to bring about change in my negative thoughts. I have figured out what I want for the first time in my life at work and at home, and how I am going to get there. I wish I had met you sooner, thank you.’
Baljeet Ruprah-Shah, Head of Services for Mental Health & Well Being Service - Ealing Primary Care Trust
‘Since starting my coaching sessions with you, I feel that I have ta
My coach makes me realise that being talented is not something to be embarrassed about but that it is also something that should not be wasted. He has a wonderful skill - he is able to elicit all of my positive thoughts and get me to see them that way. He gives me the courage of my convictions to do what I know is right and to take the risks I want. He is able to balance personal and career desires and leaves me feeling upbeat, positive and confident. His ability to put things in perspective and get me to give myself the answer I knew was right all along is invaluable. What he does is a bit like squeezing an orange for every last bit of juice - but it doesn't hurt. A session with him always delivers answers and guidance but with his client doing all the talking - hearing yourself affirm something to yourself is definitely more emphatic than being instructed.’
Peter Duff, Group Chief Accountant - Major Railway Company
‘Coaching gives me the confidence to act on what I believe is right and to better understand (and therefore challenge) my beliefs and assumptions. It also gives me the ability to better structure discussions with individuals and teams. A key benefit is that people listen to my views and opinions and team members are opening up to me and feel able to have a candid conversation about work and other matters.’
Eddy Searle, Director of Operations – International provider of technical services
‘Coaching has enabled me to become more focused and helped in my personal evolution from manager to leader. My career has blossomed in the last 18 months and a clear contributing factor in that is the assistance I have received from my coach. Without access to personal coaching I believe my career progression would not have been as successful.
I like your approach to coaching which allows me to explore the challenges I have and through clarity of thought establish the best and most effective means to move forward. This is a very refreshing approach and without doubt enables me to become a more creative and inspiring decision maker and leader.’
