Testimonials
Director of Finance
Commercial Sector
“I had not participated in 1:1 executive coaching before and I approached the sessions with a degree of both nervousness and scepticism, but Ruth immediately made me feel comfortable by creating a safe environment. Ruth is calm, a good listener and doesn’t judge and I was surprised how quickly I was able to open up and talk about personal things. Importantly, Ruth doesn’t tell you the answers, but her skilled approach means that by getting the coachee to dig deep into all the factors at play, she helps you see the light. The process ultimately led to me seeing a path forward and I left the coaching sessions with a clear strategy of how to work on the issues I’d been facing.”

“I have found the experience of working with Ruth very positive, not only in helping me to identify, clarify and prioritise personal and developmental objectives but also in offering practical tools, techniques and suggestions to achieve them. I believe that working with Ruth, with her flexible and objective approach and the right balance of support and challenge, had a positive impact both to my professional and personal life. Ruth was an excellent active listener to what was being said as well as unsaid and asked the right open questions. Ruth’s coaching has been really both energising and rewarding and I couldn’t recommend her more highly.”

“I remember walking into the room for our first coaching session feeling lost and overwhelmed with anxiety. Ruth quickly managed to distil my wondering thoughts into focused structured thinking and helped me to express clarity of purpose. I felt that she listened with respect and were not judgemental. Ruth’s calm nature led me to open up in a way that I had not done before. She helped see things differently. I am now aware of my contributions and am able to accept where I need help. I will always be grateful to Ruth as I now feel a lot more confident in my new role.”
Operations Manager

“The process of coaching has enabled me the space and time, to think, reflect and review myself within my role. The most valuable thing for me, was the way in which Ruth helped me to draw on the parallels between my person and professional life, in order for me to get the best possible insight into my capacity and capability as a leader. The process has undoubtedly supported my progression and development.”
