Testimonials
Chief Executive,
NHS Trust
“Working with Siobhan, one of our top team said it was like being driven in a BMW – you have been on a significant journey through tough terrain, but it’s passed remarkably effortlessly.”
Permanent Secretary
“Siobhan helped me to see where my strengths lay, accept them as strengths and develop the skill to apply them in the best possible way. As a facilitator, Siobhan manages to stimulate constructive consideration of new and difficult ideas in a group unfamiliar with constructive discussion.”
CEO,
Engineering Company
“The coaching with Siobhan was my first opportunity to really consider and deal with my own psychological make-up, to make sense of why I feel how I do under certain circumstances. And how, as a Chief Executive, I should deal with those feelings. Siobhan helped me overcome my self-doubt. I now enjoy the challenge rather than dread confronting the issue. I am much better prepared emotionally to lead.”
Director,
Home Office
“This coaching has landed me with 2 or 3 nuggets – things that I have not really thought about in 24 years. In dealing with stakeholders, I am better able to step into their shoes and understand them. I am more resilient, and I come across as less ’embattled’. It was really, really helpful just to have Siobhan to talk to, and she was so supportive.”
