TESTIMONIALS - Business Coaching

Developing and maintaining competitive advantage is all about collaborating with talented individuals to create enhanced business performance. In the complex 21st century business environment, our ability to create and sustain relationships based on trust and mutual respect, is at the heart of our ability to deliver real value. This is a selection of comments and testimonials from those I have worked with:

 

'I value the confidential and supportive coaching process, which we built together.'

'Our sessions helped me to focus. They explored exactly what I wanted to address.'

'You recognise and understand my business environment and how it impacts on my ability to perform.'

'Your living coaching record really helped me to keep track on my objectives and the steps I have taken to achieve them.'

“Sincere thanks for giving me the tools to make a leap into the unknown. I was able to devise a blueprint for my way forward and am excited about the future direction of my career.” Sinead Critchley, Director of Governance and Assurance, The University of Kent .

"Anna has a great coaching style. She is warm, supportive, and challenging when necessary! Through a series of focused discussions and valuable thinking time, she guided me to achieve some much needed clarity about the role I wished to fulfil within my organisation. While effecting change in business relationships is rarely achieved without some effort, an understanding of the dynamics involved certainly helped me to negotiate the territory. Anna's insight into the nature of change and its complexity was invaluable during this process." Operations Director, Business Consultancy.

“Anna enabled me to consolidate my goals and prepare a plan to apply my learning. She touched my life in a great positive way. I understand myself better and look for opportunities to play to my strengths, spend my energy wisely and embrace opportunities." Nihal Mashaki, Professional Trainer & Board member, Turkish Corporate Governance Association

" I have personally benefited from my business mentoring programme and now undertake a wider strategic Director role within the overall business. Anna's style at all times has been motivating and encouraging and I have the confidence to expand in my role as a professional Director within the business." Rachael White, Group Finance Director of IXION Holdings Ltd

 "I found my coaching relationship with Anna useful and helpful, because it allowed me reflection time and challenged me in a ‘safe’ environment. We met for face to face sessions and talked by telephone and email between those sessions. We discussed my goals and the environment in which I needed to achieve them. Once we had reviewed the feedback from my 360˚, Anna enabled me to identify and develop options for achieving my goals." Managing Director, Quoted Financial Services Group.
