Vice President, Mining Industry

“Our coaching sessions helped me to clearly define my strengths, my blind spots and to establish a vision for the short and long term.  The work you did with me enhanced my self-esteem and the changes I have implemented have positively impacted my team.”

Director, Banking Sector

“Looking back over my entire career I was unsure of what I wanted and in a sense, of who I was.  I used to be quite changeable and I felt restless.  With the self-understanding that you facilitated everything has fallen into place and has started to make sense.  It feels really good.”
