Lorraine immediately put me at ease, and this helped me open up about my development ambitions and sticking points to date. Within the first session Lorraine helped me realise that there were several avenues to pursue and all were within reach. I left the session with an actionable list of people and resources to connect with in order to help me on my journey. At subsequent coaching sessions, Lorraine helped me to readily explore new ways of approaching my opportunities and challenges, all the while making me feel motivated and invigorated about what lies ahead.

 I received a promotion at work into a senior role.  Shortly after taking up the position the business underwent an internal restructure and began to explore different business avenues.  I arranged a series of sessions with Lorraine to help me through the transition.  She helped me break the issues into manageable chucks, gave me confidence when engaging with the executive committee and allowed me to step back from the detailed issues to see the overall picture.  At the time these coaching sessions were invaluable and I continue to use the methods she shared with me.  Thank you for all you help.

  Lorraine's coaching was invaluable providing me with confidence in my new management role to problem solve independently and to clarify what I wanted to achieve and how I would do this.
 

  Thanks Lorraine, for helping me to make some much needed changes and restore my self-belief 

I've had the chance to work with Lorraine over the past year to deliver a programme of courses to build our managers' coaching skills. Not only has Lorraine been a pleasure to work with, going above an beyond to be flexible and accommodating to changes in the plan while making sure she delivers on what we agreed, her course has been delivered to a high standard with the majority of our managers saying they would recommend the session, some even mentioning being keen on an extended session with Lorraine given how engaging she is and how well the session was facilitated. A big thank you to Lorraine! I look forward to our continued work together.

I found the coaching workshop Lorraine ran for us to be really informative. It did a great job of giving staff the key principles behind coaching and the value it can bring to both them and their team members. It also gave our employees some useful tips and techniques they can use when trying to upskill and coach their line reports, which is particularly useful for line managers getting to grips with supporting and developing talent. I’d definitely recommend using Lorraine’s services in the future.

I really enjoyed my initial Group Coaching session with Lorraine and another HR professional taking part. Lorraine's style was warm and encouraging, and the Group setup was really beneficial. I feel that it helped me reach a realistic solution to my end goal, putting various actions into place to achieve milestones along the way. All with the added accountability to the others in the Group. Thanks Lorraine!

I had a group coaching session today for the first time with Lorraine and it was a positive and thought provoking experience. She helped me to understand more about what coaching is about and I got an opportunity to participate as the "coach". She was warm and encouraging and it was a great opportunity for growing my HR network. I look forward to hopefully participating in future sessions.

Lorraine's group coaching session this morning was a positive and valuable experience and helped me to re-assess some goals. Lorraine made us feel comfortable from the start, setting clear boundaries and expectations at the outset. She maintained flow though-out the session with insightful and clarifying questions. I found participating in this method of coaching productive and motivating. If you haven't tried it yet, I would definitely recommend Lorraine.
