What People say about our Coaching Services

“My work with Fiona played a big part in giving me the clarity of purpose and the confidence to be the manager I wanted to be. I felt a direct benefit in terms of my ability to manage myself and the organisation. I also received very positive feedback from my manager and my peers about the change they had noted in the way I was working and I am certain that the coaching has helped me to improve the results achieved by my department”.

”By the end of the coaching period, I felt much more confident about my performance both within the management team, and with partners. The difference was evidenced by feedback from my peers and manager, and was recognised as a valuable element in helping me achieving goals set in my appraisal.’’

“Fiona has the ability to recognise the organisations needs, communicate them in a positive and sympathetic way, opening the doors to allowing me the space and time to think creatively and identify, then test, my own inner thoughts. I feel that I am better equipped to understand and assess the influences in my work environment. Fiona has developed my range of skills to explore options and possibilities that were previously lost in a cloud of uncertainty”’

“Helped me to focus on the bigger picture and not to be so hands on. Helped with deciding on strategies for dealing with some specific difficulties”.

“I am much more self aware and feel this had had a direct impact on how I relate and react to situations and circumstances at work”.

“Provides an uninterrupted opportunity to focus on practice issues and plan for personal development. Between sessions I have been able to practice new behaviours/techniques. I have been able to recognise and establish methods to manage some of my responsibilities differently”.

“It has helped my personal development and I have picked up some useful tips, especially with regard to staff supervision and managing two bosses. It has also complemented the Living Leadership Programme I have been doing; some interesting cross-overs”.

“I think it is absolutely invaluable for the coachee to have this time every six weeks to enable him/her to devote some quality time to thinking about the objectives, working through some of the barriers with the coach and also some practical tips and models to help and support the coachee”.

“The coaching encouraged and enabled me to move out of my comfort zone, and definitely into the `stretch area`. It helped me identify the need and the process to tackle some difficult people issues by practicing scenarios and developing sound action plans.”

“Self awareness - being able to hold the mirror up and identify my own strengths and weaknesses.”

“The coaching helped me to act on issues that had been festering for some time”

“It helped me to recognise and use my support network (including coach, peers and staff)”

“Setting up a new meeting structure to enable the use of coaching has been well received. Now I am spending time with individuals on more than just the day to day business.”

“Leaving the business in a healthy state by focussing on the issues that are going to make a big difference.”
