What our clients say…
I’ve been lucky enough to work with many executives over the years, and have received numerous testimonials which I share here.
The reviews speak for themselves and hopefully give you a flavour of the level of satisfaction they have achieved, and the progress you can look forward to making should we work together.
With thanks to my lovely clients for their kind words.
Caroline has supported me on my transition into a new role as Group HRD in a FTSE250 organisation.
Human Resource Director, Connaught plc
Caroline has supported me with a particular focus on my transition into a new role as Group HRD in a FTSE250 organisation. She was particularly valuable in helping me to negotiate my way around the Boardroom and the relationships with key stakeholders
Caroline has helped me realise my potential and achieve my ambitions. I could not have attained my Executive Board position without her.
Jackie HalawiSenior Advisor for Education Scotland
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 Executive Board position without her. She has given me valuable techniques to use time and again and for that I am forever grateful.
I approached Caroline for coaching soon after I started a promoted position in a new organisation. We reviewed my initial goals during my last session and it was gratifying to see how much progress had been made.
Alison TurnbullDirector of Development & Partnership, Historic Environment Scotland
I approached Caroline for coaching soon after I started a promoted position in a new organisation. For me, I needed to focus on scoping my new role as well as the key steps towards this. Caroline used a variety of tools and techniques to assist with my goals. I really enjoyed our coaching sessions which was focused, practical and with a good dose of humour as well. We reviewed my initial goals during my last session and it was gratifying to see how much progress had been made.
As a result of the work we have done together I made my next move to a more challenging role and now count Caroline as one of my “trusted advisors.” Caroline is someone that I would not hesitate to recommend.
Nicky RidingGroup People Director, Royal London
Caroline supported me when my career was at a very important crossroad. She helped me to reframe my mindset at that complex time so that I was able to look forward with confidence and clarity whilst still delivering in the current role. I really appreciated Caroline’s pragmatism, creativity and wisdom. Not only was I able to talk through and resolve some challenging issues, Caroline was also able to suggest some great tools and approaches that helped me gain resolution. As a result of the work we have done together I made my next move to a more challenging role and now count Caroline as one of my “trusted advisors.” Caroline is someone that I would not hesitate to recommend.
I feel much more confident that I can tackle personal challenges in my work and have the tools to do so. My team have commented that I am delegating more and others have commented that I am much more positive.
Jane ForsterDeputy General Counsel, Centrica
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.
Our discussions have helped me uncover blind spots and I have certainly gained in confidence and learnt to hold my coaching tools more loosely to bring a calmness to my coaching style.
Bev KeoghDirector, BK Consulting
I really value the safe space of supervision with Caroline. Our discussions have helped me uncover blind spots and I have certainly gained in confidence and learnt to hold my coaching tools more loosely to bring a calmness to my coaching style – the results are speaking for themselves.
