Coaching. mountain stretch

What is coaching?

I see coaching as a unique relationship that fosters self-exploration, self-knowledge, professional development, performance enhancement and better self-management in my clients.

I have 18 years experience in this field working directly with individuals and through SMEs, the public sector and FTSE 100 companies. I am trained in various psychometric tools that can support our work.

I have particular skill and experience in helping people with

  • Communication
  • Emotional intelligence
  • Inspirational speaking
  • Job and promotion panel interviews
  • Leadership development
  • Personal impact and presence
  • Rapport and relationship building
  • Resilience and stress management
  • Team development


    "The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it. "

How does it work?

Depending on what you want to achieve, coaching can be short term (a half day, full day or 2 day programme for example) or medium term. In the latter case I would typically see a client for two-hour sessions once a month for 4-6 months, often with telephone or skype support in between.


The venue for the coaching could be my practice room, a local hotel or your work place. I have even been known to go for a country walk with a client!


Facilitation and training

I have extensive experience of designing and running training programmes, off-sites and development centres for companies such as Vodafone, PwC, BG Group, RM, McKinsey, Jobsite and EMS. looking at:

  • Business partnering
  • Impact and gravitas for women
  • Effective management
  • Presentation Skills
  • High performing team development
  • Transformational leadership

    Give me a call and we can discuss how I can design something for you.



Testimonials


"Helen has made a huge impact with me and the team and that is because she is very perceptive and empathetic. Helen has helped me understand my leadership style and has made a real difference to my personal development.

I really could not recommend Helen more. She will work with you to make you a better and happier leader."

Asim Siddiqui. Director PwC



"The coaching I received has allowed me to transform the way I approach work,and my personal life too. With Helen's guidance and coaching skills, I have let go of all those things that had built up over a number of years of change within my present organisation that were limiting my potential. The four days were hard work, but I came out of it invigorated and ready to really use my skills and energy at every opportunity. My colleagues and all those around me have noticed the change, and I know that the coaching has really made a difference that, unlike other training I have had, will stick with me. "

Steve Kershaw, Foreign Office Services



"I am always amazed at Helen's ability to assess, analyse and articulate one's character traits. She is perceptive and engaging. She quickly gets to the point, the end result always being positive and constructive thought on how you can improve yourself, whether it's capitalising on your strengths, channelling your energy, or gaining a better understanding of how one reacts in certain situations. Simple and enlightening, you'll never have a boring conversation with Helen!

Harry Oldreive, Partner at PwC



"I cannot recommend Helen highly enough. If you are looking to improve your personal presence and impact as a leader, Helen is among the best in her field - and a lovely person to work with, as well."

Ian Byrne, Managing Partner at Sequoia Change



"A massive thank you for the superb session you ran today. It was stimulating and developmental with a great balance of theory and practical activities. I think everyone got a lot from the day – in terms of both areas for improvement and recognition of their strengths. It was motivational whilst giving a lot of food for thought. What a brilliant use of half a day and something I hope we will be able to offer many other women in the Women’s Network."

Elizabeth Straker, Ex-head of Executive Development BG Group



" I regard Helen as a highly credible, insightful and effective coach and facilitator/change consultant. Helen builds rapport very quickly, & has a fantastic ability to understand others and support them to make change. I highly recommend her.

Anna Skelton, Head of HR at Jobsite
