I accessed coaching with Amber when I was approaching a time of change and uncertainty and as a senior manager. I wanted to really take some time out to make sure that I was at the top of my game. Amber and I had a series of executive development sessionstogether where she listened, asked good questions and introduced tools which gave me the freedom and opportunity to explore at a deeper level what my barriers were and how I could achieve the goals which I had set. Following the success of my coaching experience with Amber, I have highly recommended coaching to several colleagues.
Senior Leader Barnardo’s
Working with Amber has been a transformative experience for me both personally and professionally. Amber is an expert at holding space, providinga supportive and non-judgmental environment that has allowed me to explore and understand my strengths and areas for growth deeply. Her ability to challenge my perspectives has been instrumental in opening my thinking on crucial aspects of my self and my role within the organisation.
