Coaching Reviews

'Greater understanding of others – Lynne helped me to understand why others think and act the way they do. It also helped me to self-reflect more on how I respond/communicate to certain situations.'

'The opportunity to be able to focus solely on myself from a professional perspective. Being challenged and guided to view situations/people from a different perspective.'

'I can’t recommend Lynne highly enough. Through skilful and targeted questioning, Lynne helped me clarify my true professional aspirations. She also got me to challenge my existing viewpoints and form new insights for much better decision-making.'

'I have seen positive changes as a result of this coaching experience. Firstly, I have seen an increase in self-confidence. I feel more confident in my abilities, and considerably reduced the impostor syndrome that used to affect me. Additionally, I've noticed a tangible improvement in the way I present to leadership teams. I now carry myself with better composure and effectiveness, which has not only boosted my professional performance but also enhanced my overall sense of self-assuredness.'

'The encouragement and support from my coach have boosted my confidence and motivation, enabling me to face challenges at work head-on and make meaningful progress. This approach has truly made a significant difference in my journey of self-improvement and personal development. It has been a transformative journey and even if this is just the beginning, I am confident the insights, strategies, and encouragement I've gained have will help me to achieve my goals. Moreover, I feel it has empowered me with the skills and mindset to continue growing even beyond the program.'

'My experience with Lynne as my coach has been really positive. Lynne played a pivotal role in helping me identify, frame, and clarify my key development objectives, but also provided practical tools, techniques, and valuable suggestions to attain these goals.

'Lynne's approach is characterised by its flexibility and objectivity, striking a perfect balance between providing support and delivering the necessary challenges. This approach enabled me to gain a clearer perspective on how to tackle leadership issues and make substantial progress toward my personal development objectives.'

'I am confident the insights, strategies, and encouragement I've gained have will help me to achieve my goals. Moreover, I feel it has empowered me with the skills and mindset to continue growing even beyond the program.'

'I found coaching highly beneficial. It is not always easy to talk about things that may seem overwhelming weather big or small, but having somebody to listen and help you make sense of things going on. The coaching allowed me to see things from a different viewpoint and to learn how to adapt better.'

'The thing I value most is having a space to talk and be open and honest whilst feeling comfortable to do so. It helped me think aloud with certain struggles and receive advice and assistance on how to better manage things.'

'Lynne offers a warmly supportive approach while maintaining appropriate boundaries and a focus on the coachee’s goals (continually revisiting these to keep the conversations on track and ensure self-awareness).'

'I gained great benefit from the sessions and could really mark the progress that I made in the confidence that grew throughout the weeks. The ‘exercises’ from week to week encouraged my ability to make considered decisions more easily and have the confidence to put these plans in to practice. I really felt that I was treated as an individual, with my own needs being listened to by someone who had patience and understanding – and the reflections and conversations were thought provoking and motivating.'

"Lynne is an exceptional L&D professional who skilfully builds strong working relationships and is one of the most talented L&D professionals I’ve worked with.

As part of her role, Lynne would frequently partner with the SLT and employees, she was comfortable communicating at all levels and was always calm, eloquent, confidential and professional, as well as an accomplished Leader. Whilst at Esken Lynne was responsible for several projects and system implementations which were transformational for the business.

An outstanding professional, and I would have no hesitation recommending Lynne to any future employer, she would add value to any organisation."

Angela Smith - Director of HR

"Lynne developed and implemented a comprehensive L&D strategy covering the entire spectrum from onboarding, to role development and career development. Lynne was also good at flexing the implementation of the strategy where required to accommodate the budget she was given, whilst always delivering significant step change outcomes.

L&D was deployed using various delivery methods including a complete suite of online modules, systemising requirements wherever possible.

Lynne was also key in overseeing the overhaul of HR systems and processes.
She took the lead on various projects which were executed in a methodical and engaging way, deploying her excellent communication skills across with stakeholders.

Arguably any HR professional could assist with the above, but what’s perhaps more important is the personal impact Lynne had in executing. She is positively infectious and very engaging. Lynne was also a key member of the senior leadership team and I personally benefitted from Lynne as a critical friend throughout our time together in the business.

I would recommend Lynne who will competently provide game changing structures and input in to any organisation to add to whatever stage of maturity the business is at."
