Testimonials
" We regularly use Elaine to coach middle and senior managers at UCAS as part of their leadership development. Elaine takes time to understand the workplace context and current challenges and successfully coaches our managers , helping them address the issues of leadership which are unique to them.
Feedback regarding their personal growth has been consistently positive and has included improvements in self-awareness, an understanding of their impact at work, a clearer focus on what they need to do to be more effective and a renewed belief in their talent and potential.
We believe in the value of coaching and have introduced it as a complementary element of our existing leadership and talent programmes, and can highly recommend Elaine for coaching individuals who are either emerging, middle or senior managers.
HR Director – UCAS
"I was coached by Elaine during my transition to a new management role. Working with Elaine over a number of sessions has been a transformative experience. She has helped me to understand some really important things about myself on both a personal and professional level.
Elaine was friendly, straightforward and non judgemental, allowing me to feel comfortable and brutally honest with myself, so that I could use this insight to help me develop as a leader. Since working with Elaine I can already see and feel the improvements that coaching has made to me.
A consummate professional who knows how to challenge and support her clients and bring out the best in them, I can recommend Elaine without hesitation."

This is down so some excellent coaching…”

“I have experienced Elaine’s coaching on a number of occasions. She has the ability to get you to open your mind to the situation you are facing, encouraging you to see it from different perspectives and supporting you to get back on track with your thinking. This is done in a way which is professional, unobtrusive and reassuring. Her ability to listen and challenge me respectfully helped me uncover pathways, options and solutions."

Manager - Smart Works Birmingham
I was offered a programme of coaching with Elaine at a time when I had hit a blocker in my personal development. Elaine helped me raise my awareness and see what was in my gift to change and really encouraged me to take action on the things I could do something about. I'm pleased to say I've broken through those barriers that were holding me back and gone on to achieve my development goals. I have no doubt there is a clear link between the coaching I experienced with Elaine and the success that followed.
