Personally I have greater confidence, which has impacted the organisation because I have more enthusiasm and drive for the role - I am therefore much better value for money!

Case Study 7: Click to read more"If you think you're at the top and think you don't need coaching you probably do! Coaching for me was like the icing on the cake, you think you know how to work but it opens your eyes to new possibilities. I saw the sessions as a valuable part of my day job and gave them equal priority to other tasks. Even though the sessions take you away from the office it is exactly this that enabled me to gain clarity in seeing the way forward and I definitely think the coaching enabled me to manage the changes more quickly and effectively." Centre Manager, Staffordshire County Council |
