Client Testimonials - The Real Results of Coaching

'We now offer coaching to anyone in our company who is going through a career change or going into a management position. Coaching has made a huge difference to our key staff. The individuals who have greatly improved are those managing a team of people. They have certainly gained confidence, and tend to approach problems in a more considered way.'
Pip Neville, Operations Director, STOPGAP LTD

'Coaching has helped me become a better executive, a better manager and a better strategist. Instead of throwing myself into a business situation, I am now able to take a step back and consider the implications before making a decision. I was always the kind of person who got very focused and channelled in business, but now I feel I have found the right balance (between my work and personal life). I am more likely to discuss things with people now, and I'm more sensitive to the way others are feeling.'
Melvin Simpson, MD, INTERNET plc

'Coaching was essential to my team during a period change, upheaval and immense pressure. At the time the senior management team were exposed to a lot more work and their staff were operating in a very uncertain environment. I found I was much better at analysing and understanding complex issues. It's really important that the coach is independent of the organisation. That way, they have a far clearer perspective. Coaching is helpful in any situation where people need to move forward and not stagnate.'
Keith Bartlett, Personnel and Development Director,
HEART OF ENGLAND TEC AND BUSINESS LINK

'Of two people who received coaching, one became much more confident in her abilities, more creative and the other more sure of her contribution and value to the business. I had feedback from one who had to keep a diary and there were specific things she had to think about and prioritise. Some time later when she went back to review it she was amazed at how bad things had been at the start. People are trying to work smarter rather than harder and if organisations can provide another method of growing their people it demonstrates their commitment to the individual - there really is more to work than just picking up a wage packet.' Linda Holland, HR Manager, SCHOLASTIC LTD

'Lifecoaching has provided me with a framework for developing a broader perspective on all aspects of my business life as well as balancing my personal life. I would recommend it to anyone who needs to achieve rapid results whilst being able to discuss options in a totally objective environment. For me, the whole process is quite business-focused it is executive coaching. My coach has great expertise on the business side and I think my managerial and decision-making skills have improved.'
Sarah Hamilton-Gill, CEO, GILMORE HOUSE ASSOCIATES

'Duncan, Thank you for your patience and expertise. I admit that I was sceptical at first. Now however, I cannot believe that I achieved all of my goals in such a short period of time, and so painlessly. You truly helped me to see that reality is there for the shaping and that my dreams really are within my grasp'.
