“For many graduates, the concept of coaching could be quite an intimidating prospect. Lisa has successfully engaged with our graduates and put their minds at rest. We have received excellent feedback and I would definitely be happy to work with Lisa in the future.”
Diane Richardson
Quality and Information Manager (Lancaster University)
"Lisa is a very motivational and friendly coach who has greatly contributed to my career and recruitment. Having graduated with very little idea of where I was headed, Lisa guided me through choosing a career path, highlighting my talents, and remaining positive despite setbacks. Lisa made all of the coaching sessions personal to me, and made sure to get to know me as a person, rather than simply a client. This became very useful in keeping me motivated and positive during the job search. This also meant that we shared the celebration when I did get a job!"

"Lisa is incredibly passionate, with a real drive to helping develop individuals both professionally and personally. I initially turned down Lisa’s offer of coaching – having graduated in July 2017, I had already landed myself a dream job working in the environment sector – so felt that I wasn’t suitable for graduate coaching (after all wasn’t coaching just about getting a job?!). However, after giving it careful consideration, I decided to take Lisa up on her offer. What I learnt from coaching was more than just techniques; Lisa helped me to realise my full potential by identifying my strengths and helping me to map how I would like to shape my career moving forward. Overall my self belief and confidence grew as a result of our discussions, and it helped me to articulate what I want from my life, professionally and personally. Lisa has shown me that, whatever stage you are at, coaching can be for you. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with someone who is as positive and as ambitious for her clients as Lisa."

"Lisa has been coaching the CEO of my organisation for some time, and is clearly having an impact on helping to clarify the vision for our organisation. She recently did some team coaching at an SLT meeting, where we were able to explore some of our challenges, and think about ways in which we can lead the organisation collectively."

“Lisa is a very friendly and effective coach who consistently strives to develop a positive relationship with her clients. While my time working with Lisa was short, I could tell almost immediately that Lisa cared deeply about my interests and potential. Lisa is an effective coach who approaches clients with a clear strategy and it’s clear she’s an expert in her field. I felt very confident in her ability to coach and nurture potential talent.”

“As a recent graduate, I have found the individual careers counselling sessions with Lisa to be invaluable. She provides great support in a particularly trying and uncertain time (the post-graduation job search), in which a lot of graduates, myself included, find themselves disheartened at the difficulty of finding suitable employment. The sessions with Lisa ensure that when a suitable job comes up, I feel prepared not only for the interview but for the job itself. From my own experience, a particular strength of Lisa’s was helping me discover my personal brand.”

"I have found the time spent meeting with and talking to Lisa extremely valuable. It has given me an opportunity to spend time stood back from the day to day work I do in the organisation and take an holistic view of what has been working but also the areas that need development. Lisa has provided some great insight into systems and methods that will have an instant impact and even in a short period of time we have had some very clear wins."
