Clients: what clients say

I’m back at work for the first day after the team building day and I feel differently about the team and what we can achieve. We developed more of a shared understanding of how we want to work with each other and what we are aiming towards. As a team we have changed the way we work and communicate with each other. Ana has been incredibly supportive and skilled in keeping the team focused on dealing with difficult issues. She has also given me really useful feedback and inspiration. A brilliant result!

I’ve been working with Ana as a coach for the last year. I’ve found her coaching style very productive in both my work and my home life planning. Her methods are positive, creative and non-judgmental – and have proved really beneficial to me.

Just wanted to drop you a line to let you know how I am getting on in my new job. I have to say it’s one of the best things I have done in a long time. I feel so much more engaged in work and my whole outlook has changed. I am almost 3 months in now and I am really settling in - so thank you again for your help!

Ana was able to help me explore my approach to difficult conversations, finding what worked and what doesn’t. As a result, I was able to navigate some thorny people performance challenges, and now have a much more effective team.

Ana is an accomplished coach, and I really liked her flexible style. She asks extremely thought-provoking questions, and when I didn't have the words, has me draw it out instead! It worked very well, and now not only do I know where I need to focus professionally, and I can picture it. Very powerful.

Ana was the perfect coach. She helped me work through concerns and reach positive outcomes. I will now be able to carry out my job more successfully, manage situations and people in a better way and feel more confident doing the job.

Ana was the best listener one could’ve hoped for! As a result of our coaching sessions, I have changed my approach to staff and their problems and concerns. I am also able to manage my own workload and personal stress better.

I found Ana’s help invaluable as I settled into a new role managing a news team for the BBC. What was of particular help to me was talking through with an independent person issues I was facing and solutions to them. As a result of Ana’s help I am more decisive and hopefully considerate of people’s opinions and feelings. In the few months I dealt with Ana, I feel she really understood me and the problems I faced, and the aspirations I had to be better.

I found Ana’s sessions to be amazingly enabling, allowing me to quickly find my own way to answers for the questions I had. Ana’s gently challenging style worked extremely well for me.

Ana has a very effective manner, gently guiding me to solve the issues myself and steering me in the right direction. It genuinely made me question how I act as a manager and deal with both my peers and my staff. Ana’s coaching made me a more effective and confident manager – which is good news for my company and my staff.

Ana’s depth of experience, and her breadth of knowledge in management, psychology and relationships, helped me tap into resources I didn’t know existed. Not only was she able to help me with some immediate professional challenges, she has equipped me with long term tools, models and thinking that have sparked my growth into a better leader.
