I have completed two coaching courses with Hannah; one was as part of a small group and one was paIred leadership coaching programme. Both were amazing and have had a significant, long term impact on my development as a professional and an individual. Hannah provided an excellent balance of support and challenge and the coaching she provided has without doubt, developed both my leadership skills and my confidence. I would absolutely recommend Hannah to any leader who wants to grow and develop themselves.
Laura Youngman, Headteacher
One of the best investments I made in my professional career was to have Hannah as my coach. What I value most about Hannah is that she is genuinely interested in me and my progress. She celebrates my wins and skilfully guides me through my uncertainties by giving me ideas to think through and the space to make decisions. Hannah is an expert in her field and has opened my eyes to a wide network of resources and support to help me achieve my career goals. One such resource was the Resilient Leaders Element (RLE). This was an excellent tool that helped me identify my strengths and provided me with solid feedback on what I could do to develop resilience as a leader. If you are looking for a coach who will challenge you, support you and is who is skilled and knowledgeable in their field of work- then I would highly recommend working with Hannah.
Elizabeth Walsh-Iheoma, College Leader
Hannah is an authentic and inspirational coach- her values driven approach is a breath of fresh air! She goes above and beyond to support and empower others to rise to challenges; overcome setbacks; develop resilience and to reflect. She is a gem – an absolute pleasure to work with.
Hidaya Hallak, Middle Leader
Hannah and I worked together over a period of 6 sessions and I found my personal growth and resilience goals consolidated through Hannah’s guidance. Hannah created a safe space within which I felt listened to, was able to tie together past progress and learning milestones, and integrate these into a plan for who I needed to be for my new stage of life and work.
It felt validating to give concrete shape to certain long-standing aims that I had temporarily put on pause, and to do so with a values-base that best suits who I am. Hannah’s supportive and empowering frameworks and questioning helped me to craft a plan for growth that I am staying true to in the months ahead.
