I didn't know what to expect from coaching, but I knew I needed some kind of guidance. Sue helped me to transition from a hands-on Manager to a Senior Executive by assessing my personality with a proven methodology - Birkman Assessment. She supported me in finding my own answers to different challenges I was facing, building my professional confidence, widening my perspective and teaching me how to create positive ripple effects. Having coaching sessions with Sue was a turning point in my career; I highly recommend her.
Sue’s coaching was inspirational, challenging and supportive helping me to remove the fog from some areas when I could not see a way forward. Her probing and open questioning was very helpful in making me reflect and question my approach to situations.
Sue provided coaching for a member of the leadership team. As a result, the Director made good progress in being more strategic, often in difficult circumstances which I recognised. Sue kept me involved from the outset, and with a mid way review and end of programme meeting, I felt engaged in the process and able to contribute to the direction of the coaching goals where necessary.
