Testimonials

“Big sigh - THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCHHHHHHHH you helped modernise a man that thought he was modern! Our coaching sessions have been so helpful in putting the pieces of the puzzle together. I have recently achieved my ambition of becoming a Head of Service and I’m so grateful for Emma supporting me on that journey. Emma is a really great coach and it’s been a real honour and privilege working with her”

Daniel Ferlance, Head of Homelessness, Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea

“I felt I could benefit from coaching, but wasn't 100% sure what I wanted to get out of it. Emma helped me to uncover and articulate what was important to me, enabling me to clearly set out my goals. Emma was really open and easy to talk to, providing the right balance of support and challenge to help me reach my goals through coaching. I always looked forward to our sessions and found the six months we worked together to be empowering and rewarding.”

Nora Cooke O'Dowd, Head of Research and Intelligence, Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority

“Emma was my coach for six months. Using her coaching skills she helped me to identify an inspirational goal and then set out a pathway to achieving my goal, developing strategies to remove barriers on the way. As a result of my coaching sessions I seized an opportunity when it arose and got an excellent outcome as a result. I’m now well on my way to achieving my goal. I can’t thank Emma enough for her support on this journey!’”

Rebecca Towers, Director, Southwark Council

“I came to Emma feeling a little weighed down with frustration and anxious about my work and career. My coaching sessions with Emma helped me explore aspects of my personality that impact on the way I approach things and gave me practical things to think about and put into practice. They have helped me work out what is important and given me a greater sense of clarity about my future goals and ambitions.”

Tim Weetman, Head of Performance & Service Improvement, Lambeth Council

“I was lucky to have Emma coaching me a few years ago when I reached a crossroads in my career. Over a number of sessions we worked together, she supported me to identify my career goals and the steps I needed to take to reach them. Emma was very encouraging at a time when I needed some support and I really benefited from working with her, I have no hesitation in recommending her.”

Karen Lucas, Director, Islington Council

“When I began coaching, it was at a difficult time in my career where my confidence was low and felt my performance could have been better. Emma’s questioning style was thought provoking and helped me reflect a great deal on what I needed to do. Since then I feel healthier, have a better work life balance and I am confident in work and I am more self-aware. I have recently been promoted and I have no doubt the coaching sessions have helped me achieve this. I have found the coaching truly life changing and would highly recommend it.”

Faz Shaikh, Temporary Accommodation Manager, Southwark Council

“I didn’t really know what coaching was about and did not expect the process and the outcome to be so revolutionary and touch all areas of my work and personal life. Emma is an excellent coach helping you focus on the future and make steps towards a better you. It has re-energised me and helped me take very practical steps to manage the present and look forward.”

Yvonne Ely, Head of Special Educational Needs & Inclusion, Southwark Council

“I recently completed coaching with Emma and found it extremely useful. I found Emma a very good listener, who gently challenged me to think and act outside my comfort zone and bring about the change which I wanted to achieve. She was very skilled at empathising, whilst still pushing me to think differently about situations. This helped me achieved the goals we identified and to put into perspective what was important to me and what reflected my values. I would definitely recommend Emma as a skilled coach.”

Sally Chin, Head of ICT Clienting & Applications, Brent Council

“Working with Emma has really changed my outlook on life. I felt like I immediately connected with Emma and through her powerful questioning techniques she helped me get to the root cause of what was holding me back professionally. Since achieving my transformational goal, I feel like I’m focused, I have more confidence at work and have gained more respect in my professional life. I am more balanced, have a greater sense of purpose and understanding of myself which has helped me being a better mum, wife, colleague, friend and friend to myself.”
