  Thinking deeper about values and drivers

I was somewhat sceptical about the impact of coaching would have on me, but from the first session with Glynis I knew I had made the right choice. She got me thinking about my deeper values and drivers, reminded me of tools I hadn’t used for years and let me talk through various possibilities. I always found Glynis to be amenable and flexible with sessions, cheerful and welcoming, always finding a way to get me to delve deeper than the surface issue and has helped me reframe my current position as well as my future career options. I cannot recommend Glynis as a coach enough and have done so to many colleagues in the local system already.

  I have received 6 months of coaching with Glynis and can honestly say it has been a wonderful experience. Despite working in the NHS for 7 years I have never accessed coaching- believing I didn't need it or that it just wasn't for me. Spoiler alert- I did need it and it was so USEFUL. Glynis is a fantastic coach that thoughtfully challenged my ideas about myself, what and where my gaps were and what I needed to do to bridge them. Glynis was consistent and reliable when planning our 1-to-121s.  While by no means has my imposter syndrome disappeared I often hear Glynis's voice in my head asking 'where's the facts?' When I start to overthink. Glynis has helped me appreciate all my great qualities- especially the ones I was not aware of or took for granted.  Glynis created a coaching environment where I felt safe and open to share my thoughts and feelings.  My takeaway from my coaching experience is to be brave, to step out of my comfort zone and I can do and be more than I am now (whilst also appreciating my strengths and areas of focus where I am currently.) I would not have been able to achieve this without Glynis challenging me to be both introspective and also completing a 360 degree feedback to build a well-rounded understanding of what I do well and what I need to work on.  Thank you Glynis for all your support and I feel more confident to take my next step in my career.

 Self-esteem and confidence 

I just want to say thank you so much for your support over the past few months it really has assisted in my approaches and my overall self-esteem and confidence, so much so that I have now spoken to at least 2 other colleagues in the Team to share my experiences in a hope that they will also gain some valuable tools and insights from the coaching and mentoring support training sessions you offer.

I wish you all the best for now and the future Glynis and again can’t express my gratitude enough for all the support you have given during our sessions together.

 I have not forgotten how you helped me get through my difficult time and I'm very grateful. I am in a much better place since the last few months and my confidence has grown so much that people have commented on the change in me.

  The coaching Glynis provided was invaluable. It has given me not just a fresh perspective, but a set of approaches with which to evaluate how I work, how I can achieve the things I want and need to, and be cognisant of the value I bring. 

While I am an assistant director, this was my first formal coaching programme. Coming into it as a very experienced professional, I was interested to see if I had traveled too far in my career to reap the benefits, but that has been far from the case. I have come away reinvigorated and very positive about the rest of my career.

Assistant Director of Communications in the NHS. February 2024

  Glynis and I were matched in 2023 and I was immediately at ease with her, her communication during our sessions was always supportive and inspiring.  I found Glynis to be a compassionate, insightful coach who was able to guide me to identify where I wanted to assert myself in my role.  I really enjoyed our sessions together and found myself able to reflect on many different areas.  Glynis also really helped me recognise that coaching is certainly something I really want to pursue in my own career and I was really inspired by her coaching style and feedback.  It was a pleasure to spend the time connecting professionally and I really hope we can work together in the future.  

Thank you again Glynis, I honestly feel like our coaching happened exactly when I needed it.

  I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible impact you have had on my life. Your unwavering support, encouragement, and guidance have been instrumental in helping me overcome some of the most challenging times of my life.

When I first came to you, I felt lost and uncertain as I was new to [the organisation] and was facing some challenging behaviours which made me question my self-belief. However, with your expertise and compassionate coaching, I have been able to gain a deeper understanding of my values and the things that truly matter to me.

Your approach to coaching is tailored to the individual, and I appreciate the way you took the time to get to know me on a personal level. Through our conversations, I have been able to identify my core values and align them with my personal and professional goals.

One of the most valuable exercises we worked on was the Wheel of Life. This tool allowed me to evaluate various aspects of my life and identify areas where I could improve and create balance. Your guidance helped me to develop a plan to address those areas and make meaningful changes in my life.

Your approach to coaching is also strengths-based, which has been a game-changer for me. In the past, I often focused on my weaknesses, but you helped me recognize my strengths and leverage them to achieve my goals. This shift in perspective has been incredibly empowering, and I am now more confident in my abilities than ever before.

What sets you apart as a coach is your ability to tailor your approach to my specific needs and your ability to create a safe and non-judgmental space where I felt comfortable sharing my thoughts and feelings. You are an excellent listener and provided thoughtful feedback and insights that helped me gain a deeper understanding of myself.

You recognized early on that I needed a coach who could challenge me to grow while also providing emotional support. You struck the perfect balance of pushing me outside my comfort zone while also creating a safe space where I felt comfortable being vulnerable.

Your commitment to my success has never wavered, and I can always count on you to be there when I need you most.

Your expertise in the field of coaching is apparent, and I have learned so much from you over the course of our time together. Your knowledge and insights have helped me gain a deeper understanding of myself and my place in the world. You have taught me how to set realistic goals and create actionable plans to achieve them.

But beyond your expertise, what truly sets you apart as a coach is your kindness, compassion, and genuine care for your clients. You have a rare ability to connect with people on a deep level, and your empathy and understanding have been a source of comfort and support for me during some of the most challenging times of my life.

In closing, I want to express my deepest gratitude for the positive impact you have had on my life. You have helped me to believe in myself, to see my own potential, and to pursue my dreams with confidence and determination. Your coaching has been transformative, and I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with you.

Thank you for all that you do, Glynis. You truly are an extraordinary coach and an amazing human being.
