Our clients

We have coached many individuals from a wide range of professional and managerial backgrounds and from a variety of cultures to develop more satisfying working lives. Examples of client feedback from each of our practice areas are given below:

Career Change

Julianne's ability to identify my key skills and offer creditable career alternatives has proven to be pivotal in my work life. The models she used to identify my passions in life and how they correlated to my work preferences helped me to isolate the core skills I excel in. Her guidance for my work preferences were never leading, her facilitation supported me to find a new industry to work in. My new employer utilises my key skills in a job I have great enthusiasm for. I credit Julianne's guidance as a major influence to my current success.

Work-life Balance

The coaching gave me the chance to spend time thinking and talking about my issues and I appreciated Julianne's empathetic listening to my thoughts. Her coaching style was very supportive, but professional, with an excellent combination of discussion and exercises. She encouraged me to talk about specific instances and to seek feedback from others.

Thanks to the coaching, I have been able to achieve a much better balance between work and non-work activities. I have trimmed out a number of unnecessary tasks and focussed more on priorities: that has allowed me to spend less time on working and more time on other important things.

Career Management

Julianne was my touchstone through a difficult transition period through her ability to challenge my thinking and help me to understand my strengths and my abilities.  The coaching programme has strengthened my confidence and has resulted in me securing a job that was written for me (focusing on my strengths) with a salary more than double that of my last position.  More importantly, the coaching has given me the strength to make changes in the rest of my life.  I do not believe I could have done this without Julianne’s encouragement and support.

I got to a stage in my career where I wasn't quite sure whether I was in the right role or moving in the right direction and what my next steps might be. A friend recommended Julianne as someone who could help. We had a number of meetings during which she helped explore what I wanted out of my career, using a number of coaching techniques. She asked reflective and probing questions to help me to identify and appreciate my strengths as well as my development areas.

We put together an action plan which focused on the next steps, as well as long term aspirations considering my newly gained understanding of my career and what I wanted to achieve. Julianne's professional and personalised approach helped me to understand and acknowledge my strengths. Since the coaching I feel I have a much clearer idea of what I want from my career, what my next steps are and I can now use my strengths in a more focused way and with confidence.

Return to Work

Career coaching was exactly what I needed to help me focus on what I wanted out of a career when I decided to return to work after a 10 year break. Getting the balance between family life and work and having a worthwhile, fulfilling career is never easy. Spending time with Julianne before taking this step in my life gave me the confidence to make a career change, re-train and ultimately take on a demanding and rewarding management role which still gives me time for my family.
