Lucy

HR Manager

I had always dreamed of moving into a leadership role within my organisation, but honestly, I had no idea where to start. My confidence was low, and the path forward seemed completely unclear. Working with Lisa changed everything. She helped me clarify my leadership aspirations and identify the specific skills I needed to develop, as well as the strategic steps required to achieve them. Lisa’s guidance was invaluable in building my self-assurance and providing a clear, actionable plan. I now proudly lead a team, a goal I once thought was out of reach. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough for anyone aspiring to grow into leadership

Mike

IT Manager

Before working with Lisa, my interactions at work were a constant source of stress. I felt misunderstood, and team discussions often escalated, leaving me feeling frustrated and ineffective. Lisa shared some invaluable strategies for navigating difficult conversations and improving my communication style. Her professional yet incredibly supportive approach helped me understand dynamics I’d overlooked and gave me the confidence to assert myself more effectively. Now, I approach team interactions with confidence, clarity and calm, and I’ve seen a significant positive shift in my relationships at work. It’s been truly transformative!

Kevin

Data Analyst

I began working with Lisa at a difficult time in my career. Having trained and worked in a particular field for over 7 years, it had felt like my working life was stagnating. I had become unsure about what the next step would be and felt lost in my current role.

Lisa’s approach was clear and structured, in which we initially discussed my personal traits and preferable aspects of work. We then moved on to examine not only the possible alternative career paths I might take, but also how to get the most out of my current working life.

The Zoom sessions were invaluable but also challenged a me to ‘flip the script’ and think differently about my working life. The objectives Lisa set between our sessions also kept me motivated to continue thinking in an intrapreneurial way about my career.

I was fortunate that, during the course of our sessions, I was approached about a new role and the preparatory interview work I did with Lisa was also invaluable in helping me secure the offer. I was ultimately able to make a career move into a new role, which something I did not think would have been possible earlier this year. Thank you, Lisa!

Mark

Associate Director

I had the distinct pleasure of working with Lisa on my job search and transition from the US to UK this year. She provided professional, knowledgeable and carefully tailored support for me as we worked to translate my experiences in the US to suit the UK jobs market. She was passionately committed to my search and success, and I truly believe I would not have been successful in my transition without her support.

Josh

Project Coordinator

Workplace stress had become debilitating, affecting not just my performance but my overall well-being. I felt constantly overwhelmed and on the verge of burnout. Working with Lisa was a turning point. She helped me identify the root causes of my stress, develop practical coping mechanisms, and implement effective strategies for setting boundaries and managing my workload. I now feel so much more in control, understand my triggers, and have the tools to navigate high-pressure situations with calm and clarity. My stress levels have significantly decreased, and I finally feel like I can breathe again at work.

Katie

Partnerships Manager

I knew I needed a change, my work felt like a chore, and I was losing motivation because I wasn’t feeling challenged or using all my capabilities. The career coaching with Lisa was exceptional. She helped me understand my unique drivers and identify opportunities within my current role to reignite my passion.
Lisa helped me understand how I could reshape my role and approach projects in ways that now feel incredibly stimulating by using newly gained skills and reigniting old ones. Thanks to Lisa, my work is now exciting and purposeful, and I finally feel like I’m performing at my best.

Jonathan

Software Developer

I was convinced my stress was just ‘part of the job’ and something I had to endure. It was impacting my sleep, my focus, and my interactions with colleagues. Lisa helped me see things differently and develop a completely new mindset towards my work and stress. Her compassionate yet results-oriented approach guided me through understanding my own reactions and building resilience. I’ve learned invaluable techniques for managing daily pressures and proactively preventing burnout. Now, I not only feel less stressed, but I also approach my work with a renewed sense of purpose and sustainable energy. It’s been an incredibly positive and impactful journey, leading to a healthier work-life balance.

Amy

Solutions Architect

Coaching with Lisa has really transformed my professional life and personal fulfilment. With her guidance, I secured a new role, identified my strengths, and enhanced my CV and LinkedIn profile. Her support has empowered me and crystalised my unique skills. Lisa is not just a coach, but a co-pilot in my career journey, steering me toward a greater sense of purpose and personal growth. I highly recommend Lisa for anyone seeking an engaging, qualified, experienced and impactful coach.

Beth

Marketing Director

After many years working in the gambling industry and completing my MBA I was determined to make a career change that would allow me to achieve a better work/life balance and to grow professionally and financially. However, the process was harder than I had thought and I was feeling discouraged.

Lisa helped me to explore my options, considering the transferable skills I have developed throughout my life, and to find the best career pathway for me. I gained a wider perspective of the industry that I was interested in and very valuable information about the selection processes within this industry. Lisa was also very supportive in the preparation of my interviews. She provided guidance on what to do between our sessions which helped to keep me motivated in this tough process. She is a very skilled and experienced career coach with a very professional and structured approach. 

After 12 sessions, I secured a position in a graduate scheme in finance and I am really excited to embark on this new journey. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a career change because she really helps make the process smoother.

Vincenco

Accountant

Sure, Lisa can help immensely with CVs and LinkedIn profiles. But for me, she is so much more than that. She’s a bringer of career clarity. She enabled me ask the right questions of myself and then she supported me in finding the answers. Achieving lasting results is down to me, but she has provided me with the confidence to take action. I strongly recommend her services to anyone who finds themselves at a professional crossroads or who has strayed from their intended path and is now seeking a way back.

Alex

Screenwriter

I have worked with Lisa for 3 months. In that time, I found her support and advice to be invaluable. In particular, her help with polishing my CV, LinkedIn profile, and interview skills became vital in my pursuit of new opportunities. Her encouragement was essential in keeping up my morale during the dark days of looking for work. What sets Lisa aside from other career development consultants is her personal approach, tailored to you personally; i.e. not a corporate or city-style methodology, but specific to your own competences and needs. I wholeheartedly recommend Lisa.

Jon

HSE&S Manager

I couldn’t be more grateful to Lisa for her coaching and support in looking for a new job!
I wanted to change of job, but I was also looking for a career change. I wanted to be able to use my knowledge and experience but in a different type of role and more related to sustainability. Lisa’s knowledge and experience helped me to broaden my view about the different roles I could be a fit for. I also realised with her that the way they apply for jobs here in Europe is very different from the way I did it back home. As a non-European, this was extremely helpful for me, as I learned the main aspects that you should highlight in your CVs and cover letters.
Lisa is professional, very dedicated to each case, she hears you and is there to support you. She takes the time to get to know you and provides very personalised support. I also think her sessions are very organised. You get a lot from every session, including great practical tools and strategies. She is always there for you and is very accessible. With Lisa’s support, I was able to change my job in a month. I applied for two jobs and got selected for the one I liked the most. I can’t recommend her enough and I hope to work with her again in the future.

Valentina

Sustainability Project Officer

100% recommendation. I was made redundant 9 months ago and I used Lisa to help me find another job having found her via a Google search. I never forget our very first conversation when she said how she could help me and a vague outline of what she would do for me. One of the things included updating my LinkedIn profile, which drew a very sharp intake of breath from Lisa, when I said I didn’t have one and she said “Oh not to worry we can start at the very beginning then”. From that moment on, I knew I would feel very comfortable dealing with her – as not only did I not have a LinkedIn profile, I didn’t have a CV as my last job interview was over 35 years ago. Our first meeting was face-to-face, and then the others online, when we worked on my CV and my LinkedIn profile. After a while Lisa suggested looking at some job adverts, which I did, and applied for one of the first ones I saw to start off with. With Lisa’s help I wrote a letter to go along with my application and within hours of the application deadline closing, was called for an interview. Again with Lisa’s help we went through an interview process and the techniques to help me. The day of the interview dawned and I was so nervous. But armed with Lisa’s advice ringing in my ears I attended it and was pleased with how it went. Within the hour they had called me to offer me the job. I could have not even contemplated going for that interview before working with Lisa. Throughout my process, she was professional, gave me so much information, self-confidence and tools to manage finding a new job. I would not hesitate to recommend Lisa to anyone who finds them self in the same situation as I was – and should that rise again for me, would 100% use her again myself.
