“Alison worked as a highly effective head of service in the Council and was central to delivering significant improvements in educational outcomes in the county: she was an inspiring leader with vision and integrity. 

Alison’s coaching of managers was critical to this success: engaging staff through very challenging times; reinforcing values; enabling teams to be clearer about their purpose and objectives and develop their skills to improve performance.”

“Coaching with Alison has taken me on a journey. I have been able to develop practical strategies for organisation and time management. However, most importantly I have come to understand myself better. This all happened with guidance from Alison but the reflection, strategies and goals I am still working towards are all my own. I can now see that I am struggling to make a more fundamental shift in myself. Alison has supported me to start tackling my need for outside validation in life and to start looking to myself as the source of knowing I am doing well. This is a work in progress for me but at least I have come to a better understanding of myself.”
