Create the Life and Work YOU LOVE

I have had the pleasure of working with Lena alongside our business with regards to full team training, smaller dedicated team development as well as personal coaching. Lena is a very kind, considerate and action / goal focused coach who has been accepted by all team members through her focus on listening to understand and support each colleague in each environment as required.

Lena supports my personal growth and development as well as being a key part of our continued business development.

I have come away from the coaching experience understanding and seeing my own potential again. It has enabled me to think more clearly about my next steps and by clarifying what my goals and values are, I know what I am looking for in a job role and organisation. It will make a difference to how I feel approaching interviews.

Working with Lena was great! She listened carefully to what I wanted to achieve from the coaching journey, where I felt I was at the start and where I wanted to be. She worked with me on solutions and checked in at the start of each session to ensure I was happy with progress, happy with what we had done previously and the plan we had for the upcoming session. I would recommend Lena without hesitation, she is flexible and creative in her approach and I believe whatever the reason for accessing coaching, she will have a lasting impact.

Lena gave me the confidence to become vulnerable in our sessions allowing me to delve into parts of my insecurities so that I could face those challenges with new ideas and greater assertiveness.

Some weeks have passed now since we last spoke however, I recall the questions and strategies Lena shared with me. These sessions have allowed me to continually improve all areas of my life – something I don’t think I would have been able to do without Lena’s guidance and support.

One of my main aspirations for the sessions was to feel ready when applying for a new, senior position. I have formally begun this interview/selection process and, because of Lena’s support, feel ready for this next phase – something I don’t think I would have been without her.

Lena was so easy to talk to in the sessions. She was warm, approachable and professional. She was able to ask difficult questions and navigate her way through challenging situations and emotions, yet always with sensitivity and diplomacy. She put me at ease so that I felt completely comfortable and was able to be honest and open. I felt empowered to have strategies that I could go and try after each session and I really enjoyed the opportunity to reflect on these in the next session.

Through working with Lena, I have regained my self-confidence and self-belief. I also feel equipped to deal with situations and emotions that I used to struggle with. I read over the session notes frequently and use some of the ideas as a mantra now. It’s no exaggeration to say that I feel like a different person to the one who sat in front of Lena in our first session. Thank you Lena
