'Absolutely brilliant'
I knew from personal experience that Andrea was a fantastic coach, so when we were looking for someone to support our daughter to prepare for multiple interviews, we had no hesitation in contacting Andrea. In only a few sessions Andrea helped our daughter gain confidence and secure the job of her dreams - absolutely brilliant. Andrea, we just can’t thank you enough for the help you gave our daughter and the difference the coaching has made. This is life changing for her. I hope you realise how special you are. Sarah, Lancashire.
'An invaluable experience'
This was my first experience of coaching and mentoring and it proved to be an invaluable experience. Andrea breathes enthusiasm into every session which made me feel very positive about my development needs. Andrea helped me face my challenges with a calmness and worked with me until I felt confident in an area before moving on. At the start of the sessions I was feeling low in confidence but Andrea instilled in me a `can do’ attitude and I have taken this with me now the sessions have ended. I can highly recommend Andrea as a coach and mentor. Team Leader, BwD Borough Council.
'I believe in myself'
The coaching I had with Andrea around confidence issues was invaluable. The time, patience and understanding that Andrea showed me was superb. I used to feel like I wasn’t really worth anything at work, my opinion didn’t count for anything, that I had nothing to contribute and was only fit to arrange a meeting or take minutes. The tools that Andrea provided helped me to work through those feelings of anxiety and self-doubt and turn them into a positive and value myself as an individual. I now believe in myself far more than I did before. I will confidently walk into a room, sit with confidence, take the lead on discussions in meetings and I feel confident in myself to challenge things. Andrea has made a positive impact on me in so many ways, I feel really blessed to have met her; she really has made a difference. Project Officer, North West Clinical Commissioning Group.
'Improved well-being'
Andrea has been instrumental in supporting our health and wellbeing agenda for employees.
She has developed bespoke workshops for our health and wellbeing months, sessions for adult social care employees to support their wellbeing though own self-care, lunch time mindfulness and wellbeing Wednesdays. I personally have gained a lot from working with Andrea, attending workshops and it has helped me to improve my own wellbeing, when I have predominately supported others. HR Consultant CIPD. MHFA Adult Instructor Member.
'Remarkable'
I found Andrea to be a very experienced Coach, with a fantastic approach in coaching. At a time, when I was going through a very difficult period, she really helped me to focus on what goals I wanted/needed to achieve, her ability to challenge and ensure that I truly explored my options was remarkable. Andrea created a very safe environment, where I felt able to openly explore, she also bought a sense of firmness, but done in a very subtle way, which I really needed at the time. HR Consultant, North West Local Authority.
