CLIENT SUCCESSES
Working with Simona was intriguing, clarifying and challenging. I was able to explore my goals, my intentions, my limiting beliefs, and my inner thoughts. She knew well when to probe or explore to allow more insight to emerge. All of her intent was with my growth and learning and this enabled a strong bond of trust to develop in which I was able to explore many important things central to my growth and development – both from a personal and a professional perspective. Thank you for your insight and wisdom.

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 was given the opportunity to work with Simona at the end of 2016. The timing was perfect for me – the charity I had set up in 2013 was reaching a critical stage in its development and it was time for some self-reflection and preparation for the next phase.
As is often the case, I started with a very fixed idea of the areas I wanted to address but the sessions led me to different areas to consider and develop on. The outcomes therefore were different to what I had maybe expected but equally valuable. I enjoyed the opportunity to turn the lens towards me and to focus on my own development, and I found Simona to be a capable and empathic coach.
I have genuinely enjoyed the process of working with Simona and have already started to recommend her to others.
UPDATE – 12 months on : I’m delighted to say that I joined the payroll at Stripey Stork last week. I’m incredibly proud that something I created, and love so much, has become a flexible, paid role

Simona is an excellent coach who has significantly helped me towards achieving my professional goals. Her calm, supportive and thoughtful approach enabled me to reconnect with my self confidence and created clarity and most importantly action! If you are feeling stuck or frustrated with progress, I have no hesitation in recommending that Simona can help you.

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.
