"Having spent 20 years 'perfecting' a number of quite poor working habits I didn't realistically think I was ever going to improve in these areas - despite having worked with other coaches on these issues. However as a consequence of Olivia's honest coaching style along with her supportive and pragmatic approach I have finally started to make significant progress in improving my workplace performance." Chief Advisor to Government, MET Office
Olivia is a wonderful coach.. Guides you perfectly through your own mindset and helps you to overcome obstacles you never thought you would get out of your way! Lawyer, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer
"Thank you doesn't even begin to convey my gratitude! I have to admit that originally I was more than a little sceptical about how a block of coaching sessions with you could help me, but as they say, "the results speak for themselves . . . I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone seeking to undertake some coaching, as I have no doubts whatsoever as to the benefits they would gain. Thank you once again." Manager, Grant Thornton
"Olivia was great at pushing me to improve, to think about how I should be working and to practise what we had discussed. She helped me tackle specific issues but did so by giving me approaches that could be used in other circumstances. The practical solutions were invaluable particularly as these could be applied to other problems. I built up a range of techniques to support me." Civil Servant, DTI
"Olivia adopts a friendly but challenging style and makes sure that I do the work of thinking through issues myself wherever possible, which I find very effective. Most useful session was when I needed help dealing with pressures on my time. She helped me to tackle my stress and suggested some useful coping strategies." Civil Servant, DCSF
"I found my coaching programme hugely beneficial. Olivia’s outcome focussed approach has challenged me to identify and take specific actions to address my development needs. As a result I have been able to unlock potential in a number of areas and have much greater confidence moving forward." Civil Servant, MET Office
"You are currently working with one of my team to very good effect - thank you. I attach details of another individual who I would like you to work with." Partner, Grant Thornton
Personal Coaching Testimonials
"I am extremely grateful to Olivia for her help with my career and my lifestyle. I arrived at the start unhappy with my job and unsatisfied with my work and social life balance. I left with the confidence of knowing what career area I was going to get into and far happier in my general lifestyle. Crucially, I learnt where my talents lie, which previously were not being used. Also, I learnt how to get things done in a structured manner." MLP
"Thank you so much for seeing me in my hour of need the other day. It was a great help . . . Anyway I thought you would like to know my job search has come to an end, for now. I start tomorrow, April Fool's Day - I hope that's not an omen!" CB
"Thanks so much for your encouragement (boot in the backside, what ever way you look at it), it worked, and it is something I love doing which seems to have really struck a chord with people!" AM
“Thank you very much for your time and help this afternoon. I found it a rewarding experience and a much needed kick in the pants.” DT
I made it to the gym for the yoga class (… no stopping me now) it was brilliant so I now have two classes to get to each week! Definitely wouldn’t have persisted without your coaching and am so pleased I have – thank you! CS
