What have previous clients said about working with me?

I have never had any form of coaching before. The experience has been truly life changing. Anne-Marie very skilfully asked probing questions which made me not only reflect on myself and my professional role, but affirmed my abilities, capabilities  and demonstrated that I am actually a manager and rightly deserve that title and position.

Anne-Marie helped me to realise how other people perceive me. The exercise using the ‘wheel’ was not only visual, but impacted on me as I had to confront my feelings of  being undeserving and learn to acknowledge and appreciate compliments. 

I found the process of just being given time to discuss and think critically was invaluable. Given the business and demands of life, it was a privilege to work alongside someone who is interested, boundaried, focused, intelligent and knowledgeable.

Initially I had a clear idea of what I had wanted to focus on, this theme was allowed to evolve more organically and became something else. Anne-Marie did not allow us to feel as though we had strayed from our initial goal;  instead she evaluated what we had covered thus far, and asked my permission for us to work on the theme which was emerging as more significant to me right now.

Anne-Marie was able to capture my thoughts and feelings and articulate them back to me in a way that was logical and sensible and extremely encouraging. Her interpersonal skills are excellent and she is brilliant at what she does!

Anne-Marie is an incredibly supportive and insightful coach. Her coaching has helped me to understand what type of leader I want to become. Our coaching conversations were always driven by the needs and goals of the coachee, Anne-Marie asks appropriate questions to guide the conversation, always encouraging the coachee to think meticulously about their strengths and areas of development. The thought provoking sessions would be structured, tailored and professional consistently. 

Anne-Marie's ability to evoke professional and educated responses to thought provoking questions has really helped me to establish myself as a middle and now hopefully senior leader. I would most certainly highly recommend Anne-Marie as a coach.

Having the opportunity to have Anne-Marie as my coach over the past year has been very valuable. I was unsure about my next steps, and I was putting pressure on myself to decide; our regular meetings provided me with the platform to discuss my concerns/hesitations. With Anne-Marie's listening skills and questioning, I have reached a point where I feel more confident about my strengths and the next steps in my career development.

Conversations have always felt non-judgmental and friendly and therefore the atmosphere has always felt welcoming which means I could be open with my thoughts/concerns. I find it difficult to be positive about myself, Anne-Marie encouraged this regularly in our meetings which I appreciate as it has helped me to improve my own confidence in my ability.

Anne-Marie's communication and understanding of my goals helped me to set clear and realistic goals. This has boosted my confidence and I am now nearly halfway towards achieving my aims.

I found our conversations really useful and supportive. You have a great way of listening and asking questions that helped me think things through without ever feeling like you were telling me what to do.

Talking things through with you gave me more clarity and helped me feel more confident about the decisions I was making. I always came away from our conversations feeling that I’d got something from them, which I really appreciated.
