Testimonials

  • Jackie is an exceptional coach who challenges you to think differently about your approach to certain situations and your own individual working practices. She adopts the perfect balance between challenging your own thoughts & behaviours whilst also encouraging you to trust your judgement. Jackie has given me confidence to drive my ideas forward whilst also challenging me to step back and assess how I manage certain situations and behaviours. Jackie is incredibly positive, mindful and assertive in her approach and I’d thoroughly recommend working with her.

  • When I started coaching with Jackie I was very overwhelmed with work, family and the impact of Covid. I felt like I was in the middle of a desert and couldn’t see a way out. I knew that what I was doing wasn’t enough to deal with the stress.

    Right from the first session I gained clarity. I was able to break through the procrastination and develop a clear plan of exactly what I needed to do, with specific actions that felt very manageable. I was motivated at the end of each session and held to account on what I had committed to. Jackie’s guidance helped me to widen my perspective and shift my focus so I could prioritise better. It felt like the clouds had lifted and by the end of the sessions I felt much more in control, was very, very clear about what I wanted and had moved a long way from where I started. Thank you!

  • I would thoroughly recommend Jackie for her business coaching skills. I found her leadership sessions really engaging and insightful. Being from a design background, we quickly found the more creative and visualisation techniques helped me evaluate work demands in a positive and meaningful way. I also benefited from Jackie's knowledge in psychological well-being and how to manage work demands at a healthy and sustainable level.
