“Charlotte was a great coach. She helped me to set achievable goals and kept our sessions focused. We worked on short and long term plans, both tangible quick-wins and longer term aims about returning to work after my maternity leave. Charlotte was empathetic and kind, and the sessions made a real difference, both in terms of practical actions, and my confidence. Highly recommended.”

Helen, Communications Manager

 

I wanted to consider a path forward that allowed flexibility and part time working hours. Charlotte sent me some activities ahead of our first session which allowed me to focus on some of my values and skills. During our sessions, I appreciated her supportive style, which was a great balance of gentle and understanding as well as firm and unyielding. This helped to keep me focused with high expectations, without the fear of failure. She was able to ask challenging questions and she questioned my statements and pushed me to think deeper into whether they were self-limiting. Charlotte was excellent at sending follow up questions before our next coaching session. This was particularly helpful to me in terms of accountability. I will use the experiences I have gained as a result of the coaching to take my next steps career wise. Thank you Charlotte.

“Charlotte has helped me to narrow down priorities at a time of transition in my professional life. Focusing on these, her targeted questioning and attentive listening has helped me to identify goals and specific actions that I can take in working towards these. I am very grateful for the support her coaching has provided.”

“I’ve found it really useful to work with Charlotte as I transition back into work following my maternity leave. She helped me to clarify the big picture goals I wanted to aim for by posing the right questions to get me thinking, challenging some of the assumptions that were holding me back and providing a safe but stimulating environment to enable me to think effectively. Charlotte ensured that I left each session with tangible and realistic action points that would move me further along the route I’d mapped out. I feel much more motivated than I did at the outset, as well as more focused and more confident that I will succeed. I’ve really appreciated the integrity and commitment Charlotte brings to her coaching and it has been great to have her support during this important time.”

” Having had a somewhat unexpectedly problematic end to my maternity leave, the coaching was invaluable at supporting me through this time. I found that setting aside the time to talk through the issues and solutions was such a relief and a source of help. The coaching also enabled me to see where my strengths are and gave me purpose and clarity and also helped me see how I could use a string of relationships better to support me. I would recommend this coaching to anyone.”

Helen, Teacher

 

“Charlotte supported me and helped me to focus on one area with real clarity. She worked with me to create a structured approach, which suited the way I work, having quickly developed an understanding of what would work for me. As a result of this support, I have taken various steps in my current employment, and will now be working in a new role which I will find far more fulfilling on a professional level. I am certain that the session gave me the headspace and the practical strategies to enable me to take this step forward.”

Nicola, Teacher

 

“I have found the sessions extremely useful to break down my thoughts and feelings into focus points which we were then able to look at in more detail, and especially establishing action points I could then take to make changes. Charlotte’s approach and manner is very calm, trustworthy and personable which instantly put me at ease and helped me to relax and open up more. I now feel I have a clearer path and direction which I am in control of, and that I have the capabilities to do so.”
