Case Studies
Coaching requires you to do a lot of self-reflection, ask challenging questions of yourself and sometimes to sit with uncomfortable feelings. To be able to do that, you need to have a good relationship with your coach.
Here are some examples of what other people say working with me is like…
“I found a job and organisation that fitted my values and interests and I am so much happier.”
I had hit a point in my career where I was feeling unfilled and unhappy. I didn't know what direction to go in, just that I wanted the next job to be better. I decided to go with coaching after reading about career coaching and how it could help unlock things within my own head and steer myself to the right path.
Laura was clear, thoughtful and very good at the coach role. She challenged me in the right places, guided me through the hard bits and helped me celebrate the wins at the end. I found Laura to be direct and to the point, which worked for me as that is the strong approach I needed. She was kind, and clear and I really needed that drive to find my answers that I needed.
I approached my job search in a much more direct way. I knew what I wanted and needed in the next role. The coaching helped me define that and work through the right steps to find it. I found a job and organisation that fitted my values and interests and I am so much happier.

“Laura guided me to get the answers that actually felt authentic to how I wanted to work”
I was going through a change in my career, growing a team and setting up a new service area for the first time.
Laura guided me to get the answers that actually felt authentic to how I wanted to work and the culture I wanted to create. I left every session with next steps and felt clear on how to progress. I often use some of the tools to objectively think about problems and new opportunities now.
I completely changed my approach to people management and created a great system that I can replicate for the future for hiring decisions and creating well defined roles. Since coaching I've now progressed even further by moving companies and taking on a much bigger and more challenging role.
Laura has a great personality to coach with and I felt like it was a welcoming place to explore ideas.

“I am so much more positive now”
I felt a bit stuck in my career and unsure how I wanted to progress as I have been in my role for more than 5 years
Coaching was eye opening! Laura is so calm and supportive. It was a real journey, we went down paths I had never considered and somehow unlocked that the issue wasn't progression as such but how to see opportunity in other challenges to broaden my horizons.
I feel more positive, motivated, energised and ready to hit challenges again. I have said yes to other opportunities both inside and outside of work that before coaching I would have said no to stating I was too busy. I also look at how I manage my energy and arrange my tasks to suit and fit it each day and that has kept me motivated and positive - I am so much more positive now.
