What our clients say…

I have worked with Caroline over the past 12 months to support my development. Her style is direct, suggestive and empathetic whist striking an amazing balance between calling things out versus letting dialogue run. She’s an intent listener who works using evidence, personal experience, scenarios and theory and that combined makes for an incredibly impactful coaching style. My business performance has increased significantly since working together, personal brand amplified and I actually enjoy my job more! Thank you Caroline – you’re awesome…

Caroline, through her coaching style and techniques, was instrumental in helping me realise my potential and achieve my ambitions.  I could not have attained my Board position it without her. She has also given me valuable techniques to use time and again and for that I am forever grateful.

I would like to thank you again for your coaching sessions.  I have really enjoyed them and feel you have given me some great advice and insight into how to improve my job and place in the department.  You have helped me to put things in context and some of the exercises I have done with you have been invaluable in helping me to know myself and others around me.

I have really enjoyed working with you and feel you have a great deal to offer anyone looking for coaching.

Caroline’s unique skill is to be an inspiring coach and trainer whilst treading the fine line between giving direct and often difficult feedback to individuals and groups and at the same time, gaining the respect and following of her clients. A first class experience for our organisation, which has heralded great results.”

I feel much more confident that I can tackle personal challenges in my work (e.g. managing difficult relationships, dealing with pressure) and have the tools to do so. I am not taking personal responsibility for things all the time but I am holding others accountable and sticking within my own defined boundaries more.  I am also generally more positive about work and am focussing on the positive things rather than dwelling on the less positive – and I have more personal resilience. My team have commented that I am delegating more and others have commented that I am much more positive.

I’m a more positive role model for my team and am helping them to step back as well. I’m taking the lead on the right things while delegating more effectively.  I’m providing positive motivation and support for the team.

One financial benefit is that we have at least paid for the coaching by avoiding one set of recruitment fees for one of my team – because I was in a better position to help her survive using some of what Caroline taught me and also because I was more positive and motivated to make things work myself.  The coaching was a very positive experience and helped me survive at a very difficult time.  I would like to do it again with a different mindset in different circumstances and I’m sure I would learn different things.  It was a very important support for me at a very difficult time.

As a senior manager in the NHS for many years, and to be successful in further developments and positions, it was necessary for me to improve my interview techniques and my level of confidence.  Kynesis, and in particular Caroline, was recommended as a reputable organisation providing a high standard of coaching for senior staff in both public and private industry. The experience was terrific.  It was a period of time for me that required me to refocus on what my aspirations were, how I was going to get there and what I needed to do to make it work.  This ‘hard work’ became relatively easy with the motivational, inspirational and honest coaching support from Caroline, who was passionate about how to achieve personal best, and realistic enough to understand large public sector organisations.

I would highly recommend Kynesis for people who find themselves in the same position: experienced, keen to be promoted, know that applying simple techniques will be beneficial and most of all keen to work together with experienced coaching staff.
