The relationship with a coach relies on honesty, trust and empathy. Janine enables this…

The relationship with a coach is very personal, it relies on honesty, trust and empathy from both sides. Janine enables this whole process to happen seamlessly, she guides the conversation, helping you to address and work through your issues and in doing so, helped me reach conclusions that I would not have reached on my own. I have developed good habits and processes that have not only helped my business but also helped me to manage myself and the way I work. I understand myself better and know not only what my weak points are but also how to avoid, correct or overcome them.

The coaching sessions left me feeling exceptionally positive and had cleared any specific obstacles

The coaching sessions left me feeling exceptionally positive and had cleared any specific obstacles so I could move forwards with enthusiasm and excitement. Janine helped me step back from the issues, allow me to evaluate what I had already achieved and give me the time to re-appraise my goals and set out clear ways to achieve them. I felt guided by Janine but not led, all the ideas and impetus came from myself. Janine’s skill is her ability to help me alter my perspective and solve the problems myself. This leads to a longer lasting solution where I have actively developed skills to help me achieve my goals.

Neither blunt nor pushy but a real facilitated experience helping me push myself to identify my blockages

The sessions were like talking to a helpful friend who kept you focussed, on topic and provided insightful suggestions. Janine was able to help me dissect the key phrases we say each day, or obstacles we see and can’t find a way around, and look at them in a new light.  Neither blunt nor pushy but a real facilitated experience helping me push myself to identify my blockages and how I wanted to work around them, or even reclassify them as mere bumps to gloss over rather than huge obstacles to divert my attention.

Inspiring coaching skills and boundary pushing questions

Despite culture/langauge difference and communicating through video call instead of in person, she impressed me with her inspiring coaching skills and boundary pushing questions. I definitely benefit a lot to make breakthrough both in work and more importantly on my personal development journey.

She challenges my thinking and always builds on my competences and capabilities

A rare mix of being a caring listener, but with a healthy dose of tough love.

Janine is a rare mix of being a caring listener, but with a healthy dose of tough love. Having been in senior roles herself, she truly understood how I was feeling. Janine helped me separate my emotional response from the business situation and channel my energies into moving forward. What I especially valued was the follow-up notes, prompts and tools she shared. Not only could I feel progress, I could see it too.

A resourceful sounding board and an action-taking catalyst

As my coach, Janine has done a tremendous job by being a resourceful sounding board and an action-taking catalyst. Janine helped me to gain clarity, think through critical issues and develop strategies to move forward. She asks challenging questions and encourages me to take risks whilst being extremely supportive. I have developed techniques that help me more effectively set expectations and to deliver feedback; and I have increased my ability to recognise opportunities to practice new techniques learnt. Janine’s approach is straightforward and goal-oriented. where results are easily measurable. I strongly recommend coaching from Janine, especially for senior leaders/managers who want to evolve to a higher level of personal and professional satisfaction

Janine inspires trust and respect quickly and from a wide variety of different personalities.

Janine inspires trust and respect quickly and from a wide variety of different personalities.
Janine has worked with our management team for the past 8 months, at a time when we have bought together two businesses and so wanted to align these two groups under common strategic objectives.
She initiated two streams of work with our newly-combined management team:
1) Understand our own and each other’s behaviours and motivations, then provide us a framework in which to interact so that we can build strong relationships with each other
2) Define common (key) objectives which underpin our business plan or the coming budget year
I’m very thankful we met Janine – we could not have achieved what we have without her. Her professional ability (proven throughout her career) is key, but her ability to engender trust from a group of strong and varied personalities is a rare and brilliant quality.

Janine empowered me to tackle uncertainty and roadblocks

Janine’s warmth, experience and skill shone through from our first meeting and I always looked forward to our sessions. Over the course of 6 months Janine helped me develop clarity on key aspects of my professional working and empowered me to tackle uncertainty and roadblocks. I will always look on our time together fondly and value the skills that she has awoken in me which will help in my future career and life in general.

Janine has a skilful, sensitive and inspirational coaching style

I was lucky enough to experience executive coaching with Janine over almost a two-year period. I can quite honestly say that her skilful, sensitive and inspirational coaching style provided exactly the right level of support and challenge for me. She was able to facilitate deep reflection, insight, and learning that was transformative for me, both in my professional and personal life. She’s also a lovely person and has a great sense of humour!

There is no appointment on my calendar I look forward to more…

I love working with Janine! There is no appointment on my calendar I look forward to more than our coaching sessions. She has an ability to get the best out of me and help me produce my best work. I don’t feel like I’m being challenged to use someone else’s style or approach, rather, I’m coached to use another of my own styles and this feels so comfortable. Highly recommended.
