“I cannot stress enough just how incredibly valuable Simona’s coaching has been for me as I have negotiated the first 3 months of my new and exciting role. I have really valued her time and commitment to me, her supportive and encouraging approach, but equally challenging when required! – and the insights and clarity it has given me have been more than I could have imagined when we started out.. I will take from our sessions a number of key insights, which I carry with me in my day-to-day work. Thank you! ”
New CEO, Laura Thurlow
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
“If you are looking for someone to really help you overcome all those annoying habits and traits that are preventing you from implementing your tasks and maintaining progress towards your goals then I cannot recommend Simona highly enough. She really gets down to the nub of the issue to come away with actionable strategies and workarounds, in an empathetic and approachable manner. Huge thanks to Simona!”
Piers Clayden, Law Firm Founder, Clayden Law
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
“I was introduced to you at a time when .. 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.”
New CEO, Sue Murphy, Catlalyst
