Testimonials

Thank you for leading us through this incredible six-month leadership development program. It was one of the best investments I’ve made in myself and my career.  

- The program design of small cohorts, accountability partners, and breakouts during the live sessions fostered a safe space to practice the concepts.

- Comprehensive challenges in a variety of formats accommodated various learning styles while reinforcing the modules and “growing the muscles” of skill development

- Empathic, accessible, and engaging instructors exemplified true leadership and brought it to life

This program wasn't just about learning strategies or theories; it was about transforming the way we approach challenges, relationships, and even ourselves as leaders.  You’ve cultivated not just a group of graduates, but a community of leaders who are equipped to make an impact. You truly have defied my expectations!

- VICE-PRESIDENT - BIDS AND PROPOSALS

Highly deliberate in its sequence of presentation, the content and its delivery makes me pause more often than not and reflect on things that I may've taken for granted in the past. Quite transformative. I'll be coming back to watching the videos time and time again because they spark new ideas and somewhat unexpectedly turn on lights in my head 🙂 It's been quite a while since I would've had such an experience. Incredible.

- PROPOSAL SUPPORT MANAGER

This course certainly defied all my expectations. It solidified knowledge, filled gaps, and gave us all a safe forum to share, be vulnerable, and learn from each other in ways not a single one of us expected. Not only do I come away with the pillars to continue growing into a better leader, but I have a solid foundation of peers to continue to lean on and learn from.

- DIRECTOR

Her insightful questions and thought - provoking exercises encouraged me to explore new
perspectives and uncover hidden strengths.

- GLOBAL VP - TELECOMS

I not only developed a stronger sense of self - awareness but also learned effective techniques to enhance my communication skills, improve time management, and navigate complex situations with confidence.

- VP SALES, GERMANY

Helen helped me gain clarity about my personal & professional aspirations & provided practical strategies to overcome obstacles and achieve my objectives.

- SENIOR SALES LEADER - CHEMICALS INDUSTRY

I worked with my coach over 4 months and learnt to challenge my own status quo. He helps filter the noise so that you can find your own answers. I would definitely recommend him

- HEAD OF MARKETING AND CAP INTRO - HEDGE FUND

My coach has an uncanny ability to help me work to my own  conclusions, ask the questions which ensure I thought with precision about the challenges at hand, and ensure I learnt how to continue to do this for myself after our time together had ended

- MD, HEAD OF EQUITIES - US INVESTMENT BANK

The seminars have been wonderful; I really enjoy listening to everyone's thoughts and perspectives. We have a really diverse group of people from various industries and
at different points in their careers, and these conversations are invaluable.

- MANAGER – TECHNOLOGY AND SOFTWARE

My coach is at the forefront of techniques and principles that build self-aware, emotionally intelligent leaders. His insights into performance psychology and biofeedback are invaluable to me, and have accelerated my growth as a leader. I would recommend him wholeheartedly to my peers and colleagues.

- HEAD OF SALES ENABLEMENT - GLOBAL DATA COMPANY

Helen and Vicky have done a fantastic job of creating a safe place for us to explore difficult topics and grow together. It’s refreshing to be in a leadership academy with people that understand the unique challenges and leadership struggles of the bid world. I feel more understood than I do at my own company.

- VICE-PRESIDENT – BUSINESS CONSULTING AND SERVICES

My coach is a true expert in the field. The combination of deep technical knowledge
together with a personable and empathetic approach is extremely effective. I feel that my
coach was determined to ensure clients get the very best advice and support from someone
who is a seasoned industry professional. The help was extremely valuable to me.

- GLOBAL COO - EUROPEAN INVESTMENT BANK

An invaluable experience creating diversity in thinking and mind set, positive challenge and reflection, alternative perspective and a strong sounding board. Above all, finding chemistry and trust with an amazing coach passionate to create the right environment with open and frank conversation enables accelerated learning and development.

- COO - GLOBAL ELECTRONICS COMPANY

I worked for Pat many years ago as a middle manager and her management style was
fantastic - cool, calm and collective. Pat engaged and listened to the staff, the organisation was much the better for it. When Pat moved on all we got in its place was barking, threats and noise which lost the support of so many people. People just took the foot off the pedal and left.

- HEAD OF MARKETING

I rarely take the time to say thank you for your time and support... it is really useful, in part knowing I am going to meet with you forces the thinking and always during the meeting I am forced to confront and externalise the real issues and the ones I am avoiding. It is so easy to get lost in the day to day and not stay focused on making a difference and doing so quickly.

- CHIEF EXECUTIVE – NATIONAL CANCER CHARITY

Importantly for me, my coach’s work was extremely thorough and felt completely bespoke.
There are specific things that I have now changed and I’d have to say that my work life is happier as a result. I felt supported throughout, and knew I could call in a crisis - I’m not the sort of person to have a 2am panic, but I always knew I could have called if I’d wanted to

- SENIOR SALES DIRECTOR - INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT COMPANY

Having a coach who is an experienced practitioner was an unexpected relief. You can speak about real problems, no matter how minor or detailed they appear to be – and find not only that they are treated seriously and respectfully - but are commonly faced by others too. My time with my coach helped me make the transition from Business Unit head to Group Executive Committee. I doubt that this would have been so successful without this

- DIVISIONAL CEO – ENGINEERING SERVICES COMPANY

I have worked with my coach for about nine years. It has been personally transformational – giving me the opportunity to regularly reflect on leadership, strategy – and whatever issue is important to me at the time. She brings the perfect balance of coaching and ordering my own thoughts, together with her own extraordinary breadth of experience and sharp insight. I come into every session with seemingly insoluble issues, and leave feeling ready to tackle the world, full of new ideas and opportunities. It has changed my life – and had a profound impact on the success of the organisations for which I work
