What Clients Say
“First of all let me say great thanks for yesterday’s session. It was very helpful and inspired.”
“Olivia’s coaching helped me see my way through a very tricky business performance issue. Her insistence on clarifying what I wanted to achieve meant that I ended up with four key goals for a difficult meeting – and achieved them all.”
“This session was really timely for me and I got a huge amount out of it. Olivia has sent me further useful information since and although I don’t know what the cost is, it seems to me this is great value for money as you get so much out of a really concentrated one to one session”.
“. . . Olivia’s approach to the session has helped me already to step back and review how I can work better, and to manage a difficult work situation much better for my staff and myself”
“Thank you so much for your help in the session, I really felt like it helped a great deal and made my options a lot clearer.”
“Thanks so much for your encouragement (boot in the backside, what ever way you look at it), it worked”
“Olivia’s style with me was a very light touch. She let me do all the talking and only contributed when explicitly asked or if she felt a gentle nudge would be helpful. She was very good at the silent treatment waiting for me to say something. The result of the hour was several pages of notes I took for myself. All of the notes are valuable and relevant”.
“. . . I can’t begin to tell you how immensely grateful I am to you – yesterday’s conversation left me totally drained emotionally and also incredibly empowered! I felt emptied and re-filled at the same time! Since things have moved into place so quickly, and since I feel very comfortable and confident with the strategy outlined above, the ‘objective’ is in sight as it were, and as we said yesterday it would be great if I could call on you for the odd ‘Power Hour’.”
“I discussed my personal concerns and issues with Olivia in far more depth than I would have been comfortable discussing with either a line manager (no disrespect to my current line manager) or a permanent staff member. Olivia was able to ask really deep questions to make me consider options outside my previous thinking and showed me a couple of models that I haven’t seen before. Olivia showed a real interest in me with no ‘company’ agenda and after an hour session I have a number of specific actions which I intend to carry out over the next few months.”
“I found our session very helpful in terms of the influencing skills. I have already started the ‘coaching’ approach with my reportees, managers and with my wife as well. It seems to be working well.”
