"Having worked with Hilary over a number of years and with different teams her input and advice has always been invaluable. Her insights into team behaviour and relationships has helped me structure and manage my teams to maximise their potential and drive forward strategies and initiatives. Her personal feedback to team members has enabled them to develop their skills and behaviours as individuals enabling them to work better within the team environment."
Hilary has helped me through periods of significant change. Hilary also worked as a facilitator for my senior team in various strategy and change management sessions. Hilary is an extremely talented and skilled individual who has helped me enormously through judicious listening and incisive (and supportive) questioning. One of Hilary’s key talents is to keep discussions focussed in the real world and I have found her to be an invaluable source of advice on thinking through how to deal with some very complex issues. I would absolutely recommend Hilary as a highly skilled coach and facilitator.
"Hilary has a unique talent in being able to coach and steer a team of individuals to meet a common goal or objective whilst being able to understand and empathise with the individuals’ management styles, needs, personality traits and guide them to build their own answers and solutions. Hilary also uses her experience in programme management, strategic planning and organisational structures as an excellent facilitator, whether it be strategic planning, partner negotiation, team building or bespoke programmes.
She has worked with me and my team on a continuous coaching programme, strategic planning and project and meeting facilitation. We have managed a growing team successfully through a period of rapid growth and change. In this period we have doubled the sales and broadened our product proposition and distribution, all whilst achieving outstanding staff retention and engagement – these results, with Hilary’s input, speak for themselves."
"Taking the decision to work with Hilary has proved to be one of the smartest choices I've ever made. She is absolutely outstanding in terms of her approach to coaching, listening and providing tangible suggestions for implementation. I will be the beneficiary of Hilary's coaching for the rest of my career!"
“Hilary has kept me to task - when it would have been all to easy for me to have fallen behind on delivery as I was "too busy". She has helped me unpick how to approach things and not to get bogged down and/or distracted. Crucially she has enabled me to be the best I can be and facilitated a major step forward in my personal development".
“Your role has been immense both in teaching me and keeping the team honest.”
"Hilary focuses on the strategic, offers amazingly great insight and contribution and involves her stakeholders every step of the way to deliver every time. A great talent that should not be underestimated by all work with her!”
"I genuinely appreciate all of your help – and I feel that I’ve “grown” a lot thanks to you which will help me not just here but over the rest of my career and life. Previously I have taken aggressive action or run away from problems. You have helped me to have constructive, less emotional, and more courageous conversations – this is really going to help me take the next step in my career. You can’t under-estimate how much of a key learning that has been for me, and it has given me a new level of confidence knowing that I can handle difficult situations more effectively."
“At the start of the year, I had a number of personal development hurdles that I needed to get over. With Hilary’s support, I really grasped the role, my accountabilities and delivered successfully. The support was invaluable. Hilary is an extremely open person and a very good listener - I felt comfortable with discussing any issue. The sessions were about me, time to off-load, share my thoughts, ask for advice and work with what suited me.”
“Working with Hilary has helped me gain perspective and allowed me time to think about what I want and what is the best way to achieve it. I have moved significantly from the rut I was in. I'm sure the main reason that I have got a lot out of the experience so far is her personable nature and clarity of thought. I always look forward to the sessions, which for someone as cynical about these things as I am, must say a lot for her abilities!”
“Hilary achieved superb results with our Executive Coaching Program and was asked to work on additional projects due to her focused business approach. An inspiring person and business coach.”
"I consider the 18 months of close personal and professional attention from you has been a privilege. Both me and my boss agree that it has resulted in appreciable change... "
