My coaching supported my promotion from a technical role into a senior strategic leadership role. The coaching sessions with Marie helped me stand back and have provided clarity and focus to help me through the transition into my new role. Marie’s qualities which I find particularly helpful are her active listening skills and patience, which make me feel comfortable to share openly and honestly in each meeting. Her clarity helps me build awareness of tools and techniques to apply to my own situation and helps me understand what I can work on to improve, with concrete actions taken forward for review at each subsequent session. Marie continues to inspire me, helps build my confidence and provides invaluable guidance for my ongoing career and personal development.

Marie has helped me develop as a leader and help me be the best that I can be – not only for myself, but for the staff that I lead. Her coaching also assisted me during my promotion process, certainly around the aspect of self-reflection.
