Career Coaching Testimonials

"Having Anna as an executive coach has been a really positive experience. Anna has a direct approach that I liked and she works effectively with you to challenge your thinking and get results. She is flexible and tailored the sessions to where I was, what I was doing and what I wanted to achieve. I leave the coaching with a more conscious sense of who I am, the value I bring to an organisation and the confidence to say what I am thinking and to know I can make an impact. I recommend coaching with Anna for anyone who is at a cross-road in their career, maybe a little lost and needs to reconnect with their purpose and values and then refocus on where they want to take their career."

Senior Manager, PwC

 "I had been a full time mum for 9 years and hadn't had an interview for 12 years. Anna was amazing at building up my confidence. She gave me help with my job application and coached me through interview practice. I was really nervous about the interview but she calmed me down and gave me good tools to use. Thanks to Anna I was well prepared and I got the job, the first one I had applied for!"

Mum, Raynes Park

"I would not hesitate to recommend Anna as a careers coach. She worked hard with me to understand my key drivers and gave me the space and support to create a plan of action for my future career. I am now in a new role which Anna gave me the courage to go for.  Anna was both patient and challenging which was just what I needed.  A great experience."

 "Anna was incredibly knowledgeable about the current job market and how to approach it, particularly given the circumstances that surround employment currently. The hints and tips that she covered were all useful and easily implemented and she was able to offer access to further sources of information should it be required. Her understanding and empathy towards the situation that I am in, made for a very easy and positive conversation following which I would have no issues with recommending her to friends and colleagues in the future."

Leadership Coaching Testimonials

"As a result of Anna's coaching,  I have developed an understanding of the skills people should learn at my stage of being a leader. Anna helped me identify which areas were the most important in my situation and then supported me as I created an action plan to make changes to my management style. Anna was very helpful, particularly in helping me understand the image of myself that I project – and understanding how my actions might be interpreted by others. I really felt that Anna was my companion on this journey. She was very good at listening to what I said, being simultaneously supportive and challenging. When Anna challenged me, I felt the way in which she did so was perfectly judged. I felt an instant rapport with Anna. I could be honest with her, and I was sure that what I said would be kept in confidence. There is nothing else I feel Anna could have done that would have helped me even more."

Their feedback about Anna’s skills and approach to coaching has been very positive. Anna clearly developed great rapport with them and they have found their time with her very beneficial."
