Sheila’s style, expertise and commitment contributed to a hugely valuable series of coaching sessions. She steered me to identify, develop and prioritise key development needs and to really explore what motivated me and what I wanted in the future. The often challenging sessions of self-reflection enabled me to explore my development needs and provided catalysts for ongoing testing and evaluation of new approaches. I found Sheila’s openness and determination to be exactly what I needed in a coach to maximise my own time and ability to develop. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sheila.

“Sheila’s coaching style is supportive and insightful. She knows how to ask the right questions that will help you get to the heart of what you need to do more of or do differently! As Sheila gets to know her clients, she also understands their strengths and coaches them on how to tap into them to get the results they want.”

“The coaching sessions followed a logical journey, with Sheila’s incisive questioning prompting me to explore and review what I wanted to achieve and how I ‘did’ things, providing valuable critique and approaches that I continue to build on. Sheila’s calm and reassuring coaching style and underlying knowledge made this a very positive experience and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn and develop.”

“I embarked on coaching with Sheila after my energy and enthusiasm for work had waned considerably. I was disillusioned with my performance, frustrated with my own perceived inability to bring about change within the organisation. Sheila encouraged me to reflect on what was important to me in my role and what attributes were important to me personally. She challenged my perception of myself and asked me to consider what I valued about my job and my employers. Once I had a greater understanding of what mattered most to me, we considered what I wanted to achieve and how I could go about it. Sheila encouraged me to use my strengths to make an impact and take positive action to address my weaknesses.”

“Sheila has worked with our firm for a number of years as an executive coach. Through her professional support, she has helped individuals manage the uncertainty of change during their early legal career. We have seen impressive results, with individuals achieving re-engagement with their role and the organisation, increased proactivity and greater capacity for addressing issues. Following coaching from Sheila, people are clearer on their values, drivers and motivation, and are prepared for their transition to the next level.”

"Working with Sheila helped me recognise my own leadership style and how the differences in my approach to others was a strength, not a weakness. In conjunction with developing strategies such as being able to remain focused on what’s important rather than what’s urgent, I was able to bring my leadership style to bear with increasing effectiveness. This resulted in an unexpected promotion opportunity where I was able to take my approach to a wider audience. If your leadership style seems different to others, and that feels more uncomfortable than it should be, then coaching from Sheila may help both you and your organisation recognise the real potential your unique leadership approach can bring to achieving your goals."

"I would thoroughly recommend Sheila as a coach. She asks all the right questions, and is insightful in her feedback. Moreover, she is a pleasure to work with."
