Lucy’s delivery was thoughtful and well-paced, making it easy to stay engaged. The topics were relevant and the activities helped bring everything together.
I can get very distracted by lots of things and the coaching helped me to keep close to my key interests and motivations…The tools helped me highlight what is important to me.
Lucy did a great job of moving it forward and managing the swampy detail and taking on so much of the work. Really high quality work, attention to detail and open to discussion.
Lucy provided a day of training for our Board. The day started with behavioural analysis of the Board members present and advice on how to interpret and use the results of the analysis. Lucy’s knowledge and understanding of the process was outstanding and fundamental to the success of this element of the day. The remainder of the day was used by the group to assess how well the Board performed the roles of trustees and identifying actions to address shortfalls. Lucy very quickly earned the respect of her audience, some of whom were sceptical of the need for this form of training. It is a tribute to Lucy’s professionalism that by the end of the day, the verdict of her trainees that it had been a most illuminating and useful day, was unanimous.
The contracting process was extremely clear – the goals and parameters were set at the beginning. Lucy’s use of challenging questions came from a place of absolute support, and I found them particularly helpful. Lucy’s skills as a coach were all the more effective because she was able to draw upon her years of experience in business development. This gave me confidence that the direction she was pushing me in through probing questioning was powered by her knowledge and insight. I most appreciated the opportunity to talk out the issues, reframe my thinking and formulate my own solutions.
Lucy is a facilitator extraordinaire, generating partnerships and enabling colleagues to achieve potential both individually and on behalf of their organisations. Her seemingly boundless knowledge and rich experiences combine with her considerable energy to bring out the best in people and help engender a sense of confidence in those around her.
