Who is Coaching For?

Do you see yourself here? Pen portraits to give you an idea of the kinds of people I’ve worked with.

Jane

Tired, exhausted, overwhelmed. She has ‘two jobs’. During her London based office hours she runs a full-on transformation project as her team transition to become the in-house service provider for one of her company’s most important clients. The rest of the time she is chasing around trying to herd her family which consists of two teenagers, a dog and a partner. There is never enough time.

Peter

He’s going places but he is frustrated. He’s works for a large consultancy firm who supported him to transition to hybrid working - living in Surrey, and working in London a couple of days a week. He’s worried about the lack of actual in person ‘face-time’ with key decision makers - relevant because he’s ambitious for promotion, he thinks outside the box, and has a clear vision for his division. The ‘problem’ is that his peers and stakeholders don’t buy in and he can’t work out why.

Dave

A sophisticated thinker, and able to hold lots of complexity, Dave is also a bundle of nervous energy. Fortunately weekends spent outside enjoying the countryside help him to relax and unwind a little. He’s excellent at regulatory affairs able to grasp the bigger picture and finer detail. He’s not however, as competent leading his team. Although he’s actually quite sensitively in-tune on the inside, he just doesn’t know how to relate comfortably with people.

Beth

Full of flair, creativity and entrepreneurial spirit, in her early 30’s Beth has built and runs a business employing 20 people with a turnover of £10m. To the onlooker it seems like she has everything going for her. She’s the one who ‘knows the truth’ though. In many ways her drive is what has got her here, but inside she’s fearful that it’s all built on very unstable foundations and that one day, it’ll all come tumbling down and they will all know.

Over the years clients have worked for the following companies you might recognise and, more besides.

“I have learned a huge amount and have a new self-awareness that I make better use of. I can recommend coaching sessions with Beverley as a wholly positive and enriching experience!”
