"I have experience of Pauline’s work as co-researcher on a major study of work/life flexibility aimed at enhancing wellbeing within our offices in Central and Eastern Europe, as a facilitator/ coach on 2 management development workshops, and as a coach to senior personnel to director and partner level.
The research project involved in-depth one-to-one interviews with some 40 managers and senior managers across Eastern Europe. Pauline worked with me on designing the research process, conducting interviews, interpreting the data and coming up with findings and recommendations. She greatly helped me organise and plan the research process, which was logistically ambitious, involving 8 different European countries.
She quickly established credibility and rapport with the research participants. This, together with her gravitas, enabled her to influence some of our most senior and challenging people to take part in the research process She provided me with a different and refreshing perspective on many of the organisational issues we were exploring, which we subsequently integrated into our findings.
Pauline quickly developed trusting relationships with those she was coaching and demonstrated an ability to work with people at depth. She proved herself to be a very skilful people developer who is good at helping people gain insights and reframe the way in which they approach their issues, finding solutions for themselves.
My experience of working with Pauline is that she is a value added consulting resource who challenges her clients appropriately and balances this with the right level of support."

"(I have gained)... more focus on the method and process and value of coaching as a competence in the roles we carry out.They (the team) seem more composed, calm and reflective. An over-ridingly positive view prevails. Reflections on working relationships and where the good points lie and an impartial observer looking into our working relationships and advising has worked for me."

“Identifying and realising how I approach work, has really helped me realise how I can better present myself. I learned to identify my skill base, which means I am much more aware of my ability....learning in small steps was really useful. Increased understanding helps me approach clients in a way I feel happier and more confident with and that is much more effective for my business. Time management has given me very practical benefits I am much better at setting boundaries. The benefit spills out into my personal life too.”

"When recently engaged in a very difficult task, Pauline provided sound, consistent and concise coaching support.
Her technique was to bring into focus what was essentially important, provide clear, non prescriptive feedback. This was delivered with the utmost compassion and clarity.
I have no doubt that her support assisted me to stay focused and move beyond the impasse I had reached with my work."
