“I have a renewed sense of purpose and direction”
“ Our coaching sessions provided a really valuable opportunity to re-calibrate my plans for the future. Graeme helped to give shape and direction to my random thoughts and ideas. We worked up a clear career plan with a practical set of milestones and SMART objectives along the way. I now have a renewed sense of purpose and direction. Graeme was encouraging and easy to talk to, but challenged my thinking when necessary. I would thoroughly recommend Graeme to anyone who is considering new goals or a change of direction.”
“Having a coach to ‘check-in’ with while working from home has helped me stay focused”
“As a communications director, COVID-19 has presented me with the biggest challenges of my career. My workload has been at its highest, yet I have been physically isolated from my team like never before. Sarah helped me re-evaluate my priorities and refocus my time and energy accordingly. She also helped me look to the future and think about how this unique experience could positively shape my career. Having a coach has given me a much-needed confidence boost and sounding board at this crazy time.”
