Developing Effective People
“I’d like to say how much I appreciate the contribution you have made both to myself and to Inspired. You have given both myself and other members confidence to take on the job of establishing our Community Interest Company. You have brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to our project that was previously missing and I am now confident that, with your on-going support, we can make Inspired into a successful, respected organisation.
“Coaching with Sophie gave me the time and tools to get through some difficult meetings, negotiate for my new role (that I have since transitioned into) and allowed me to realise that my way of doing things is valid and effective for me.
Sophie provided a framework that allowed me to work through topics so that by the end of the hour, insightful and empowering things came up for me. I would highly recommend Sophie.”

“My sessions with David were very interesting and extremely helpful. Having to promote and advertise my chiropractic business was totally new to me. David helped me to think of different ideas, processes to put them into place, and have the confidence to do it.”
“I had been struggling for some time to gain a sense of direction within my working life... Being encouraged to voice my ideas and having them received with great respect was also very powerful, helping me to see beyond my current limits and perceived blocks... The skills that I have learned through our sessions will be invaluable within both my personal & professional life.
A key outcome for me is that I've just been offered a secondment which I genuinely believe I would not have pursued had David not helped me to broaden my horizons.”
“Sophie has helped me set realistic goals in a timeframe that suits me. Once my course is complete I know what comes next and have planned for the next goals, both short term and long term. I have really enjoyed my coaching sessions.”
“Sophie has the ability to locate the heart of the issue and find the right path to resolving it. I made significant progress and achieved several goals.”
“Sophie has a very charming and unassuming manner, which makes you feel totally at ease. She gently gets to the heart of an issue and really makes you think. I found our coaching sessions very supportive and encouraging and I made a breakthrough!”
“Building a business is a difficult process and a great deal of self-development is required not only to gain new skills in sales and self-promotion but also to cope with the transition from being employed where direction and accountability exist externally & there are many other peers with whom to talk.
My coaching sessions with Sophie are enabling me to develop the skills I need to be
self-led and self-accountable. I have particularly benefited from her ability to get me to look at situations objectively and from the perspective of others. Coaching has become essential to my self-development and I would recommend the process to anyone undergoing significant change in their life.”
“My experience of receiving coaching sessions with David has enabled me to become focused on what is really important in my personal life and my career. David has supported and encouraged me to eliminate anxiety and self doubt and provided me with tools to overcome obstacles. A positive and thought-provoking approach by David has enabled empowerment, clarity about my life goals and facilitated certainty about myself.”
“I will always be grateful to Sophie. She greatly motivated me to take stock of my life and helped me to give up unnecessary, tiring schedules without feeling guilty.
