Testimonials

"As an experienced business executive branching out to start my own business, working with Antoinette enabled me to translate the skills I used every day for over 20 years in business to my own business. Her observations, mirroring, and questioning enabled me to make this connection that I found difficult to do on my own. Our coaching sessions gave me the space to gain clarity to be able to mobilize myself"
Global Business Leader, Life Sciences, Munich, Germany

“Antoinette's caring, yet challenging approach helped me to start to question some deeply ingrained beliefs that were really not helpful to me. She gently encouraged me to look at problems in new kinds of ways. I found it a very safe environment in which to experiment with new possibilities and feel like I came out at the end having made very tangible progress.”
Lucy, London

“Antoinette is an exceptionally gifted and skilful coach. I had the privilege of working with her during 2009 when she enabled me to overcome some very difficult and challenging hurdles that were getting in the way for me professionally. Possessed of excellent skills and insights, Antoinette is also very personable. She displays a confidence in applying the appropriate level of challenge, which moves you out of your comfort zone to confront some hard truths, which ultimately moves you forward to achieve great results. A fantastic asset to any organisation seeking an executive coach to work with their people!”
Sue Traynor, Group Leadership Development Manager, Public Sector Company

“Antoinette brought incredible insight into the issues I was facing. In our sessions she was absolutely focused on her role as a coach, yet showed immense respect in dealing with some very personally challenging situations. Her style is open, honest and forthcoming yet she is flexible to both my needs and the issues on the table at the time.

Antoinette creates a depth of self-awareness that leads to self-evaluation and creates momentum in order to address even the most difficult of issues, in an appropriate and professional manner. Her role in my development has brought a lasting benefit in terms of personal strength and extra skills which I can use in both my current and future professional roles.”
Sandra Dee, Manufacturing Pharma Director, Boehringer Ingelheim

"Antoinette is an outstanding coach and mentor. Her style is open and insightful, helping participants to open up, identify the behaviours / outcomes they would like to achieve, find their own solutions and put actions plans in place to achieve these. After a coaching session, coachees will really feel they've travelled a great distance with Antoinette as their guide."
Rebecca Galbraith, Associate Director, Quintiles

“Working with Antoinette was incredible. Her ability to draw my attention to what was happening for me in a gentle yet direct way enabled massive change to occur quickly in both my personal and professional life and for which I am hugely grateful. What stood out for me about Antoinette was her genuine and unfailing interest in her clients' well-being together with her ability to draw on a wide range of coaching tools. When a coach can ask one question or say only a couple of words and bring you to a complete halt, that's seriously impressive. Thank you!”
Claire Whitehead, Interim Head of Marketing, Caxtonfx

“I was very impressed with how much I was able to take away from working with Antoinette as my coach. I liked how she structured the time and how she ensured that by the end of the session, we summarized what we had covered and what needed to get done. When Antoinette first told me she would not give me her own personal view or input, I questioned how this would work. As we got more into the discussion, I was able to see how her guided questions enabled me to find my own answers! In just a short time, Antoinette helped show me how to look inside for my own questions and find some of the answers to the personal challenges I am facing at work. Antoinette has given me some great self help tools that I have taken away to face challenges that I have been long avoiding in the work place. I found the time insightful and supportive and will be looking to work with Antoinette again as my coach in the future. I would highly recommend Antoinette’s services to any one of my friends or co workers.”
