CLIENT SUCCESSES

Simona has been coaching me since mid-January. It was difficult at the beginning as I was actually wanting to stay away from setting goals. Simona found a way to get round this and we set aspirations instead. This felt a lot more freeing, which is what I needed at the time.

Like many of us I’m sure, I lacked self-belief which can sometimes be crippling and I really wanted to see a way past this.

Simona has worked with me over the past four months to bring me to a point where I have self-belief; I am more confident in my decision making (and I’m not
seeking approval for my decisions as often…);

I am taking more time out, even if it’s just ten minutes with a coffee and my book, just for me. I know how I want to lead, and I know that I am already doing a good job. And I am continuing to help people when I can.

Simona has given me the time and space to think for myself and provide the answers, but she has also challenged me at times (with my permission), which I’ve needed.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Simona to anyone who has a challenge/sticky point they want to get past, as Simona will work with you and get you through it.

Hannah Holland, Head of Marketing

I have worked in FMCG for the last 25 years, predominantly food businesses in a sales and marketing role, latterly in General Management and Senior Commercial roles. I decided 5 years ago to cut loose and start my own business as an entrepreneur, unfortunately things did not go to plan which affected my confidence and belief in myself, this made me question what I wanted to do for the next 20 years.

Working with Simona helped me focus on a plan and set of practices that gave me my confidence back, motivated me again to establish my core values and help my mindset of never giving up. I have gained greater clarity and focus and a better regime of working practices that have enabled my business to thrive and allows me to enjoy quality family time and work life balance.

The best coaches encourage a positive mindset and ask probing questions to help individuals make the best of themselves in business and their personal lives, Simona certainly does this, she has a friendly engaging style and is very knowledgeable and supportive. I really enjoyed working with Simona and with the work we have done together I feel motivated and extremely positive about achieving my business and personal goals going forward.

The Titan brands website will be up and running by the end of 2020 and I have never been busier.

I am thoroughly enjoying helping challenger and purpose driven Food and Drink brands on their journey and can put my years of experience to good use and help brands be successful. I would highly recommend Simona to anyone looking to gain greater clarity and direction in their business and personal life.

Gavin McLean – Founder Titan Brands

I cannot stress enough just how incredibly valuable your coaching has been for me as I have negotiated the first 3 months of my new and exciting role. I have really valued your time and commitment to me, your supportive and encouraging approach, but equally challenging when required! – and the insights and clarity you have given me has been more than I could have imagined when we started out.

It really has been incredibly helpful and illuminating, and I will take from our sessions a number of key insights, which I carry with me in my day-to-day work. I must admit that none was more powerful for me than your words, “Be kind to yourself”.

THANK YOU so much!

Laura Thurlow, CEO, Community Foundation, Surrey

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 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.
