CLIENT SUCCESSES

I cannot express enough the gratitude I have to you during the past 3 months.

I was introduced to you at a time when tragedy had struck the Charity, and I stepped up to take on a senior role, as acting CEO, sooner than I had anticipated.

Over the time we have worked together you have encouraged me to grow beyond limits I never could have expected, with the ultimate goal of becoming CEO for Catalyst. You have been quick to point out that this was all within my grasp but the reality is the reinforcement, the insight and the patience you gave me encouraged me to have belief in myself which has changed my perception of me, my colleagues and how I present myself externally.

I wholeheartedly recommend Simona and coaching as a necessity to challenge yourself in your role against the backdrop of you being at the centre of everything you do, it is an incredible journey with no limits.

Sue Murphy, CEO, Catalyst

I found the opportunity for coaching with Simona useful and she enabled me to gain clarity on my priorities and interests for my ongoing career. Simona makes use of her own instincts and reactions within the coaching conversation which I found helpful for me to reflect upon.

I can whole heartedly recommend Transforming Meetings training provided by Simona.

Not only was the training tailored for the benefit of the Charity to provide thought provoking topics for the Leadership Team, it transformed the thinking of the team.

The pandemic has created a heavy workload and the team made comments of “I was dreading taking the time out of my day” to “this has transformed my thinking and given me permission to take time out to “think” and work very differently”. Not only that, it was bonding for the team, it provided humour in a much needed time of work overload.

The simplicity of the tools effectively used and breaking into pairs to do the “thinking” was inspiring and gave the opportunity to starting “thinking” and sharing the thoughts that we often have in our mind. It was clearly recognised that this technique was not only valuable for using in meetings but was valid in giving ourselves permission to take time out of the working week to collaborate.

Implementing the training was appreciated by the Team and we appreciated Simona facilitating our training sessions.

If you want to transform, inspire and transition your team, I recommend you participate in training for Transforming Meetings.

We have now booked additional training days for the other Management Teams.

I worked with Simona during the final months of my degree, which was a particularly challenging time for me due to family illness. Whilst determined to see my degree through in spite of my circumstances, completing work had become difficult and very stressful. Simona enabled me to get clear on the end goal, develop a healthy mindset to overcome some personal barriers that were getting in the way of my success, and shared practical tools for taking action.

Simona was honest and fair – striking a perfect balance between the tough love that I needed whilst remaining empathetic and sensitive to my personal circumstances throughout.

I went on to graduate with the First Class Honours in my degree and feel strongly that Simona’s coaching and professional support in those last few months finally got me there.

Simona’s coaching extended beyond my academic goals too, providing emotional support and a friendly ear. With a focus on my personal development and genuine best interest, Simona has since continued to support my growth through ongoing coaching and guidance to clarify my career choices and self-development.

I was curious, and a tad cynical, about the benefits of coaching but following on from 3 months with Simona , I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the process. Simona’s insights have had a hugely positive effect on both my professional and personal life and the ‘homework’ I received during my time spent working with her has put me in good stead for the road ahead flying solo.
