Nice things other people have said.

We’ve left all the names out of these testimonials, but you’d expect that, after all coaching is a confidential process.

If you’d like any more information on any of the comments made (including translation), give us a call - we won’t always be able to say yes (the confidentiality of our coachees is priority number one), but we promise we’ll ask the question!

The testimonials:

“Coaching has far exceeded my initial expectations and I thank you for recommending my coach to me and for your flexibility in extending the timeline beyond the initial deadline.  It would be a great pity if the programme becomes a permanent casualty of cost cutting.  If it survives, I suggest you use some of the positive survey feedback quotes to communicate to others how valuable a process it really is, as I expect many would have been somewhat sceptical like me initially.”

 

“She has all the requisite skills of a good coach; thoughtful, emotionally intelligent, perceptive.  A warmth that draws you in and makes you comfortable trusting her which allows you to be open and honest with her and ultimately with yourself.  She has helped me apply a forward-thinking focus to balance the demands of the large group of stakeholders I have to consider.  As the CFO in a JV developing first of a kind projects for a challenging shareholder group while also supporting independent project work for the CFO of a parent company  it truly has been a changing, demanding environment.”

 

“The sessions that I’ve had have been a great way for me to air all of the various issues that I’ve been facing inside, and outside, of work.  Crucially, my coach hasn’t told me what to do or how to do it but rather she’s asked me the right questions so that I figure out what’s best for me.”

 

“We’ve focused on the medium term, what do I want to gain from this experience over the next 3,6,9 months so I can look back with no regrets and forward with the satisfaction of knowing and appreciating what I accomplished and how it has prepared me to face the next set of challenges.  Facing reality, leading not just managing and controlling my destiny; faster and more effectively.”

 

“More than just feel-good sessions, they’ve helped me deal with possible some of the most complex organisational scenarios I’ve had to face in my career.”

 

“Good to see my company doing something like this.  It’s been a valuable source of support for me.  When I started the programme my first meeting was along the lines of “I’m likely to leave the business in the not-too-distant future, so I’m curious about how you can help me” but I’m now thinking about how I can be more valuable to the business for as long as I stay here.”

 

“Coaching helped me address some key issues I was facing, find / identify solutions and get to know tools that are useful for daily business life. The exchange with a “neutral” partner was extremely useful and her coaching approach of great value. It’s been a great pleasure to work with her.”

 

“I greatly appreciate my experience with my coach. She is really capable of helping myself find the answers and never pushes me in a direction of her choice. Besides, her international approach leaves room for cultural differences without any judgment. She also has many practical examples for day-to-day improvements that are easily applicable and thus highly motivating. Her strive for balance between work and life (at least in my case) is another element that I do appreciate while working with her and that shows that she is a very human person.”

 

“As a coach, my coach has provided me with invaluable help in handling change. Her perfect mastery of the coaching tools has helped me defining precisely both my personal and professional objectives. Her expertise and her listening skills have allowed me to develop my “personal branding”. She always approaches things in a very motivating way and brings real added value.”

 

“Grâce à son écoute, mon coach a su mettre en évidence les sujets à travailler. Des sessions courtes et bien ciblées ont permis d’adresser en peu de temps plusieurs thèmes me permettant d’être plus efficace dans le domaine professionnel et personnel.”

 

“When I started being coached I had several goals in mind, but needed to define them and work out how to achieve them. I also needed help with my motivation and commitment to these goals. my coach helped me to achieve all this and much more.”

 

“My coach is patient, understanding, intuitive and supportive. Her coaching enabled me to get really clear on exactly what I wanted/needed to achieve. She listened powerfully and heard more than just what I was saying.”

 

“I needed someone who would stretch me and get me to commit to more than I would do on my own. I needed someone to keep me on track and hold me accountable to what I said I would do. My coach was this person.. I knew I could trust telling them anything and for me this was also very important.”

 

“My coach has a great capacity for listening and particularly for hearing what is unsaid.  Her ability to ask exactly the right question at the right time helped me to find solutions that I would have missed without the benefit of being coached.  She enabled me to sound out new ideas and to admit that, at times, I didn’t have all the answers”

 

“Coaching has helped me define my objectives more clearly, analyse my leadership styles and expand them.  My coach is also excellent in developing interpersonal skills;  willing to challenge and stretch and is able to take you outside your comfort zone so that you can grow”

 

“Coaching has proved valuable to me in my career and in my personal life, and my new thrust for work-life balance is my next opportunity.”

 

“I would strongly recommend my coach to anyone. They are a powerful, motivational and intuitive coach. I have achieved so much more than I thought possible. Thank you for everything.”

 

“Ce coaching m’a permis de confronter mon approche “intuitive” en ce qui concerne la gestion de mon temps et des priorités ainsi que la conduite du changement. Il m’a permis d’obtenir des outils pour la prise de décision et de mettre des mots et d’organiser ma pensée autour de mon “personal branding”.

 

“Executive coaching provides me the ability to reach levels of performance faster and more effectively than if I was going it alone.  Working with my coach has helped me to focus on a forward-thinking approach to where I invest my time and effort to work more effectively, efficiently thus with far more impact within a changing, growing environment.”

 

“I’m bound to say that I was a little scpetical about executive coaching when it was first suggested to me. I thought it would be a bit abstract, rambling and remote from my real day job. The reality was quite different. My coach was down to earth, spoke in terms I understood and used a range of simple techniques that really helped me understand how I was coming across and how a few straighforward changes could make a real difference. He was honest. Too honest sometimes! But it was this honesty that made me believe there was only one agenda: helping me perform better and therefore feel better about the job I was doing.”
