“I have worked with Lise for over a year now and in my opinion she brings all the skills and abilities of a professional and more importantly inspiring coach. Lise clearly knows her specialism and delivers above expectation during our sessions, transferring her knowledge openly and informatively. She applies her natural transparent and caring personality to her approach which adds credibility to the delivery and is really impactful. As a result, she has during our time together made a substantial impact on my own development and is truly inspirational. Of equal importance, is that she really cares and her passion for her field shines through. Lise is a delight to work with.”
“Lise was my coach for approximately one year.
During this time Lise challenged my perceptions and my thinking in a positive and constructive way. As a coach she is extremely self aware, was always prepared for my coaching session, allowing plenty of time to explore issues and was then firm in setting clear expectations. She was an excellent listener, and gained my commitment to ideas/suggestions, pushing me when appropriate. Agreed actions were followed up at sessions and alternatives were explored when things had not worked out as planned. This allowed me the space to develop at my own pace and with more confidence.
As a result of the coaching, I have been more assertive in my approach to particular issues at work and I have been able to adapt my behaviour where beneficial and appropriate.
On a personal level the coaching allowed me to explore issues in a safe but challenging environment and gave me the opportunity to question my perceptions and those of others. Lise created an environment that was ‘comfortable’ but very focussed and I benefitted significantly from the opportunity. I would positively recommend Lise as a coach to future clients.”
“How many of us avoid offering feedback both as a giver and receiver because of feelings of uncertainty and insecurity about the quality and robustness of our relationships?”
