“I engaged Barbara as a coach as I moved into a new leadership role in my organisation. I had a new constellation of colleagues with whom I would be working closely, and I would be leading a multi-national team largely virtually. Barbara was a highly skilful listener and helped me articulate what were the priority challenges that I was facing and what assets I had to hand to address these.
I really appreciated the before-and-after discussions and reviews linked to significant events – it created an overall narrative of progress that linked together all of our conversations.
For me the biggest impact of her coaching was a rejuvenated sense of ambition around my own performance. I appreciated her flexibility within the sessions: her default approach was to act as a companion for my own exploration, but I also asked and received her advice around some specific challenges in terms of team leadership. She drew on her many years of experience in this area, and I found her advice to be highly relevant and effective.”
