I would like to thank Flora for her support throughout the 5-month programme. She not only gave me advice on how to improve and prepare myself as a Department Head, I think the most important thing is that she helped me to tidy up my thoughts and helped me understand myself more. Flora was a great listener. She would also ask questions and ‘forced’ me to rethink and view myself from a different perspective. I am really grateful to have Flora’s support in my first 120 days as a new Department Head.

Flora was a great coach. She was very engaged, perceptive, knowledgeable and creative with different ideas and techniques to help me in areas where I wanted support. She provided positive and constructive feedback, which demonstrated the progress I’ve made this year. This was backed up by comments from my manager. Personally, I found the programme very beneficial and would highly recommend working with Flora.

Flora, I can’t thank you enough for the time you spent with me. We started at probably the lowest point of my working career and finished on a high! I have no doubt that the time we spent together and your guidance played a huge part in getting me through that. Fantastic support and I would highly recommend.

Flora was a great coach and really helped draw concerns out of me even when I wasn’t able to pinpoint them myself. Flora was very easy to chat to, I felt that she understood me and was good at nailing down practical ways for me to tackle the things I wanted to address, in a way that made sense to me and felt good. I’m very grateful to have had this opportunity to work with Flora and know that she has made a positive difference to how confident and successful I am in my role.

I asked Flora to help improve the alignment and working relationships between a number of department heads with quite different skill sets. Flora quickly gained the teams full buy in and developed and delivered a programme that has had a real, tangible impact on the team in terms of morale and efficiency. Flora was a great mix of sunny, professional, detailed and fair in delivering a great result for us with a light touch approach.

Working with Flora has had a huge impact on me both personally and professionally. She has taught me how to deal with pressure, how to delegate and how to not let things get on top of me. She has changed my outlook on work, management, and my personal life as a whole. I am more confident, more in control and more able to deal with awkward situations as they arise. When I first started speaking to her, I was in a bad state both professionally and personally and I honestly don’t know where I would be without her!

My sessions with Flora have been instrumental to my success and growth, each session was tailored to my current needs/situation which I found particularly helpful. Flora was encouraging and brought a lot of energy to each meeting, I am incredibly appreciative of all the support and guidance Flora has provided me.

I think Flora was a really great coach for me. We were fairly structured in our sessions, often outlining what we wanted to cover and objectives at the start, and following up on next steps at the end. On top of prompts and questions, Flora also sometimes provided recommendations (books, techniques) and examples which I found really helpful. I enjoy structure and direction so this style worked particularly well for me. Flora was also a great listener, and challenged me the right amount!

Flora has been so helpful. Prioritisation, creating space to reflect on progress I’ve made and areas that I want to focus on. Really helpful to continue to circle back to the original goals set to review progress on this, but Flora also ensured that the sessions had time to go through other topics that had come up in the time that had passed since our last session. She has also shared really helpful materials and tools with me. All in all, I have really valued our sessions.
