What my clients say about me
My approach to coaching is to focus first on building a strong working relationship with you. I will listen to you and be guided by your interests, goals and challenges. My executive leadership experience enables me to quickly understand the context in which you are working and bring constructive and challenging conversation. I strongly believe that everyone has unique strengths and will help you to be clear on what makes you a brilliant leader.
“We had a great foundation of our finance function providing robust and timely information, but needed a shift to also push value creation across the business. Nell’s coaching made this change happen and we now have an appropriate split of emphasis between: management information, governance, statutory responsibility and very importantly value creation. Thanks for all your support”.

(You helped me to make a) ‘..major change in my thought process about what I want to be/ do/ achieve, and critically WHY. That was really all I wanted to get out of the process, but now I’m fizzing with ideas in terms of the HOW’.

I was introduced to Nell and the idea of executive coaching by our Managing Director. Nell allowed me to embrace the opportunity presented to me and encouraged me to set my goals and objectives initially which formed the basis of our work over the following months. I found Nell highly professional, challenging and provoking to work with, she stretched my thought process and left a positive impression upon me. I would happily work with her again and can happily recommend her to others thinking of testing themselves and their thinking.
TS, Finance Director
I’ve had a number of stakeholder conversations which have definitely been enhanced by the discussions and the challenge you’ve given me and this has resulted in a difference and pushed the agenda of active change. Our sessions have definitely enabled me to make a stronger and more assertive initial impression and gain considerable traction more quickly in the last few weeks than has happened over many months!

“I was lost but now I am found” – Nell helped coach me through a challenging time in my career. My career had naturally progressed into new opportunities every 5 years. Now was the first time that I had to decide what path to take next. My mind was a muddle due to my current role enabling me to operate in many different functions. Now was first the time for me to set my next path, but I was lost in terms of being able to define this. Through challenging, yet thought provoking questions, Nell enabled me to define the core elements of what the next role for me must have and must not. With this, Nell then gave great career coaching on ways to develop myself and also how to share this with key stakeholders. Without Nell’s support I question how I would have found this clarity.

I just wanted to thank you for our conversation and let you know how useful it was in reframing my thoughts and thinking about what’s right for me.
