Here's what my clients have said and experienced 

“I had recently been promoted to a management position, with more responsibility and a bigger team and needed to quickly gain some new skills and some confidence, as I was feeling rather daunted and realised I needed time management, influencing, decision making and negotiation skills to match my new responsibilities. Madeleine gave me some strategies and the support to implement them effectively, with good insight about my leadership strengths and how to develop myself.
I now feel skilled at dealing with difficult situations in a busy environment and achieve more in less time. I also enjoy my social life more because I'm in control at work. It was really helpful to have private coaching because I could be totally open and honest and Madeleine tailored the programme to my needs.” Ruth Alltree, Manager

 

'I wanted to leave my job as I felt my career was going nowhere. Madeleine helped me take back control. First we clarified what I really wanted to do. Then, we worked on strategies to build confidence, unlock my creativity and develop leadership and communication skills. Now I've got a great new job and I honestly believe I wouldn't have done it half so well without my Life Coach.' Joan Herbert, Manager

 

“I consider myself to be a successful, focussed person and resourceful person. I still found I need coaching to achieve my goals. The coaching has helped me to work more efficiently with other colleagues, manage my time better, deal with difficult situations confidently, understand others better and deal with stress. The weekly sessions have helped me to achieve my potential. I would have no hesitation in recommending Madeleine’s services.” Rebecca Wooderson, Business Owner

 

“When I turned to Madeleine for coaching, I was emotionally and physically drained and considering a change of career that I had enjoyed for many years.

Within a couple of sessions Madeleine helped me identify the negative thoughts that were stopping me from letting go of my last demanding role and moving forward.

Madeleine helped me realise a new role could utilise my experience, balance my work life balance and progress my professional development.

Soon, I had the confidence to secure an interview for a job that excited me, would enable me to learn new skills and progress but continue to utilise my years of experience.

After a short time in post, I am excited and enjoying my new role, feeling a valued member of the team and feeling very positive about the future.” Karen Winder

 

“Madeleine was able to help me quickly identify where I was experiencing difficulties in my professional life and suggest tools and techniques for addressing these.

Using the tools that Madeline provided I was able to reflect on and then adjust my approach to how I could achieve my goals.” Andy Carter

 

“I have been asked to represent my organisation at a European technical workshop. My career has taken off since we’ve been working together, that would never have happened six months ago!” J Rigby

“I wanted to share how I am now doing with my two roles (continuous improvement role and production role).

I took on a 6-hour virtual site review yesterday and Monday and I had to prepare and facilitate it – this is something a have done before but would have been dreading. The site reviews are with the highest level of leadership.

During the whole site review I was just completely relaxed and calm – it was utterly transformational and the best feeling ever, and it was very successful.

The results of our coaching sessions are truly remarkable.” Rob Wood

 

“I just got some good news today and I thought I should share it with you. I received an offer for an Innovation Manager. I am really excited about being appreciated and finally making the step to a leadership role, it still feels very unreal. 

I don't think I could have done this without you, so thank you very much for all the help!”

and all your patience during the sessions. You helped me find the determination in me and remember my true passion.”

Alison Strat

 

“Following the trauma of being made redundant Madeleine helped me see that I was capable and resourceful when I had just experienced criticism and challenge. Not only that, but she also gave me some simple tools and techniques to give me confidence in stressful situations. Thanks to Madeleine's techniques I am about to embark on a new job.”

Ann Hunt, Senior Manager

 

“I really do think our sessions helped me on my journey, and I’m actually excited about work, which it something I haven't been able to say for a long time. I am also off to New York next week on a two-week research trip and hoping to publish an article, and maybe even a book. I feel I have a plan at last and am happy to see where this takes me for the time being. Anyway, I often keep in mind the techniques you taught me, and think about things, in a much more positive way, so thank you!   A Hart

" Madeleine's coaching sessions enabled me to progress at work. She gave me tangible strategies I was able to implement with confidence and therefore grow with confidence in the workplace."  Ellie Clarke

​

"I am incredibly thankful to Madeleine for helping me to transition to a new career. I was struggling with confidence, and work was making me miserable. I knew I needed to change, but I didn't know how to make it happen. Madeleine helped me to feel more confident and establish a clear plan. The coaching was extremely beneficial in helping me to get clarity in exactly what I wanted in a new career and set me on the path to a much happier future." Steve Williams

​

“I just wanted to let you know I've been offered the job :-)

I had some lovely feedback from the various panels. I actually enjoyed the themed assessments; they were a great opportunity for me to show off my experience. I could have talked all morning!

As always, thanks very much for all your help and support.  It has made such a difference to the way I approach things, and I have definitely seen the benefits today.” Gill Pipe, Manager

 

'With several professional paths opening up for me, working with Madeleine helped shed light on the right path for the right time.  Supportive, enthusiastic and full of practical tips, I very much look forward to continuing our sessions.'  Claire Sawford

“I use the tools you provided me with on a daily basis and I have seen so much progression since my last session with you.  I have built bridges with one particular member of staff using your training and tools and its absolutely amazing how relationships can change so quickly.  I cannot thank you enough.  I am making decisions without always second guessing myself and I feel that I have more self-belief. I have had some challenging situations and have dealt with them so confidently and have got the result that I wanted.” Deb Gibbon

​

“Just to let you know that the open, curious conversation went really well with my manager. The conversation also brought us back together as a team in that we're all in the same boat looking out for each other. I’m realising the direct, confrontational approach I used to use can actually result in people clamming up... All in all, good news, thank you.” L Hall

“Having been made redundant post maternity leave and out in the job market after almost a decade at the same organisation, my low confidence levels was something I was very conscious of. Post this introduction I soon signed up to a 6-week programme with Madeleine. The program delivered in several areas. I would keenly recommend Madeleine (and in fact already have done!) Kim Branagh

​

“I went to Madeleine for coaching following feedback from employers that I was not coming across as confident at job interviews.
Madeleine was great and tailored the sessions to what was seeming to be most important to me on a weekly basis. My whole manner and confidence levels changed at interview and the feedback changed to being great.  After 6 weeks I secured a senior role and am able to start that role with confidence.
I would recommend Madeleine's approach to anyone needing some support to build confidence. Lana Plet

​

“Madeleine has been great in helping me look at my work life and working relationships from a new perspective. I would definitely recommend her if you want to get out of old patterns and try a fresh approach” H Wood

 

“My employee has come on in leaps and bounds. Your techniques have almost changed their life, outlook and in particular how they now think of challenges. I must be honest, whatever you have done has been excellent and they are feeling happy and ready to move on to their next challenge. This goal I doubt they would have pushed for without your help, so may I personally thank you for everything – you have been brilliant.” Martyn Hazelwood, Manager

 

“Just wanted you to know that your input helped me immensely.... I have just been formally offered a job, and it is thanks to you for showing me the way.” Rick Petch

 

“The help that I received from you was invaluable at a time when I felt so lost and vulnerable.  Thank you so much for your help, and for the advice; I'm sure it will benefit me for the rest of my working life.” Fran Talbot 

 

‘Just over two and a half years ago I worked with Madeleine to seek clarity in the direction my career should take.  Our sessions enabled me to make a positive step forward and took my career into a more positive and lucrative phase.  Time and time again I have found myself referring to the exercises and information she gave me to help in various situations and have found them a continuing inspiration.’ Vanessa Morris

 

“I've just been on Madeleine's 'Getting to Grips with Difficult Conversations and Behaviour for Managers Workshop' and it was brilliant. Madeleine is excellent at providing practical tools that I can implement. The material will be very useful as I am about to start a management role as part of my business. Madeleine also provided a comprehensive workbook rich in further information and exercises to help build skills. A thoroughly enjoyable and productive morning. Thank you.” Liz Lewis

 

“I realised that working in the legal profession requires more than just knowledge.  I wanted to make sure that I developed confidence and skill at communicating with colleagues and clients, to give me the best possible chance of progressing in my career. Madeleine shared with me some powerful influencing techniques that have helped me deal with different personalities, difficult situations and get the best out of myself and others. Now I feel better equipped to create great working relationships with colleagues and clients and I enjoy my work even more.” Andy Carr Lawyer

 

“Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your session this morning. Not only have I gone from 'Arrrggghhhh' to 'Ah ha' about my goal of making my website more profitable (that I've been putting off since mid-October) I've looked at what was stopping me (procrastination due to it scaring the hell out of me (!) plus lack of expertise), written a short action plan to get round it and been rushing through the morning's chores so I can sit down with a cuppa and get on with it! Which I'm going to do now. Must admit that I had high expectations from this morning - and you surpassed them. Can't thank you enough! Sarah Decent, Business Owner

​

“I am at a point in my life when I'm facing the most uncertainty than ever before (about to be made redundant and just came out of a relationship) which for many people would be a very stressful time but thanks to Madeleine I am confident about myself, my skills and abilities. All in all this has been the best investment I've ever made - an investment in myself which I know is paying off already!"

Yvona Brandstatterova, Manager

 

“Having been out of the workplace for ten years whilst bringing up my daughter, I was struggling with the prospect of a new career. The coaching I have received from Madeleine has given me more confidence as well as the direction and focus I needed.

Madeleine has lots of good advice and strategies on how to communicate better with people whether in the workplace.”

Sally Overton

​"Over the sessions I had with Madeleine I learnt a lot about myself and a lot about how to manage the challenges I was facing at work. She was very patient and helped me make a big career decision. Madeleine is warm, caring and a great listener. I couldn't have made my decision without her!" J Brewin, Teacher
