We’re designed
to change

Not long ago, I realised my life was in a recurring pattern. I’d change jobs (every five years on average over the last 25 years), do well, get promoted, give it my all – and then burn out.

I wanted to break the pattern but first that meant examining why it was happening. I started a long process of looking at my behaviour and analysing my responses. It helped me find the confidence and self-belief I needed to make the changes I wanted.

I’ve come to realise that many problems within the workplace are caused by people experiencing anxiety, frustration, boredom, low self-confidence and lack of self-esteem. If we can break these unhelpful patterns of behaviour, then we’re in a good position to achieve more.

I’ve changed my career now and I love what I do. I work with people from all walks of life to help them identify and overcome issues that are blocking them emotionally and stopping them from achieving their potential.

I wanted to get to the next level in terms of career progression – I had plans to grow my team and I wanted to develop my own personal skills too. One of the most vital skills I’ve developed as a result of coaching is communication. I mix with peers and senior leaders in a different way now. My confidence has improved beyond belief – I’ve upped my game completely.

Vicki is easy to talk to and extremely supportive. Coaching has helped me prioritise, and it's equipped me with ways of coping with situations, both in and out of work. As a result, my confidence has improved immensely.

I had reached a point where I needed to gain some strength to make the changes necessary for the next chapter in my life. Coaching helped me look at myself and question how I react in certain situations. I feel stronger and more resilient and better able to cope with life’s ups and downs. My confidence and self-esteem have grown and I’m able to see things clearly again.

It's the small throw away comments - picking up on this detail and challenging it has really changed the way I think and feel.

Coaching does not have to change your life if you do not want it to. Having a coach who is focused on you, your business and your role, creates opportunities that become so much more available and attainable.”

I wanted to maximise my working day and create a better work life balance that worked for both me and that of my employer. It was refreshing to work with Vicki, and it felt comfortable. With the right amount of empathy, guidance, and prodding to find my own solutions, I have the decision-making skills to have better balance in my life now.

As a result of coaching, I’ve made sustainable changes to the way I think and how I approach situations.

Una Doyle, Contracts Manager, Global events agency

I was feeling stressed, worried and quite anxious about work and those feelings have gone. The absence of these has enriched my life and has freed up space to enjoy my work, time with my family and being more present. Coaching helped me to rebuild my confidence.

Lee Ong, Internal Communications, UK Civil Service

At a time of significant change within the organisation, coaching helped me to create a new perspective and work through how to achieve the best results. I have been able to rethink strategies to manage the transition.

One-to-one coaching is a partnership that helps you discover yourself and develop new skills and behaviours. It encourages you to explore your future possibilities and find your potential from within. It challenges you and inspires you to achieve lasting results.

How do I work?

  •  The first step is an introductory call – This initial call helps us establish if we’re the right fit for each other as coaching relies heavily on trust, communication and rapport. When we talk, we can agree our goals, expectations and the direction we want to take.
  • A programme that’s tailored for you – We co-create the programme to suit you, you’re in control and we’ll always go at your pace. We’ll have regular feedback and reviews to confirm our objectives and our focus. 
  • Ongoing support – towards the end of the programme, we’ll look at how you can continue to progress and where to find the ongoing support you need.
