WHAT WE DO
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Thank you! I’ve learnt so much from the things that we have reflected on and gained confidence.
– Law firm Senior Associate
Caron is an excellent coach, she is an effective listener and takes time to understand you and your role. Her techniques have helped me to motivate myself and make changes in the workplace. We have seen an increase in turnover by 25% over the last six months. I would highly recommend her as a career coach.
– Owner SME
Taking the time to reflect on a wide variety of work related matters was something that I would not have done absent the opportunity to be coached by Caron. I have already changed some working practices (for the better). This has already positively impacted my confidence, my efficiency and my overall job perspective. I am hopeful that I can continue to make further changes when I need to, which will prove valuable to me and the firm.
– Law firm Senior Associate
Caron is a straight-to-the-point kind of coach, and will ask direct questions to ensure her clients put in the self-reflection needed to make change and move forward with their objectives. Kind, compassionate and patient, and with the career experience and coaching expertise she has, I thoroughly recommend booking in a session with Caron.
- Digital marketer
I have more confidence to implement the goals and changes I set myself and now able to delegate tasks more often and more effectively.
– Law firm Partner
It was of great benefit to me to take time to reflect on my working practices and discuss them with you. I had worked in the same way at other firms for a long time and it had become clear that I needed to make changes for both myself and for the benefit of the firm.
I would definitely recommend your coaching sessions to others. I believe that many members of staff would benefit from taking stock and finding alternative ways to approach things.
- Law firm Senior Associate
Caron was supportive but also challenged me to consider both the positive and things to work on. I will miss our sessions!
– Director Not-for-profit
I found the process to be relaxed and informal, which I greatly appreciated. I had misgivings before starting that the process might be overly ‘Americanised’ and that I would be bamboozled by jargon which had little practical application in my day to day work. I could not have been more wrong! I felt that Caron was very focused on real issues which I encountered rather than generalisations, and she really helped me work through these in a way which had practical application. I found her to be very easy to talk to and I really felt that she was listening and challenging me.
– Law firm Senior Associate
Caron listens thoroughly, asks incisive questions and reflects back and crystallises diamonds of ideas. In a short session, she was able to cut through my myriad of thoughts and get straight to the heart of the matter. I'm now re-energized and re-focused.
- Strategy facilitator
I am more positive in my perspective about both myself and the organisation and my role within it as a result of the coaching. I would say that I also feel I have more to offer others than I might have acknowledged previously. In addition, I was able to identify areas for improvement in a constructive way. I hope that I will continue to put into to practice some of the tools discussed and, in particular, the broader, calmer way of thinking that Caron instilled in me.
– Law firm Senior Associate
I found this to be a very useful and timely opportunity to reflect on where I had reached in my career and what was standing in the way of me moving forward. I would recommend it to all, and indeed I hope I can repeat the process again in a few years time!
