“I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from coaching but having recently taken up my first major leadership role, working with Siân has proved invaluable. She has helped me to think about what kind of leader I want to be and how to put those aspirations into practice,

how to manage intractable problems, how to approach large programmes of change, and how to work towards maintaining a reasonable work-life balance.

I remain a work-in-progress, but I now feel that I have a repertoire of questions and strategies which help me to evaluate a problem and devise solutions and as a result, have become more confident in my leadership.

Siân provides an insightful and non-judgemental space to explore the challenges and possibilities of a demanding role and I heartily recommend anyone undertaking a major leadership role to consider coaching with Siân.”

“Following the creation of a new Library Experience Team we were looking to organise a series of workshops to support the development of the team and to help them reach their full potential. Sian and Debs created a bespoke package of sessions which allowed space for growth and discussion as well as a clear path towards our ultimate objective of ‘one team’. They demonstrated an excellent understanding of the team and showed great flexibility in adapting the programme when different opportunities arose. 

Without these workshops I don’t think we would have been able to have supported the team in making so much progress in such a relatively short space of time. The sessions helped us to develop a new culture and a sense of empowerment within the team.

The work Sian and Debs did for us was excellent and exceeded our expectations, I would have no hesitation in recommending them.”

"Siân held the space really nicely and gave insightful reflections whilst creating lots of space for everyone to share. Personally I got a lot out of the session as I was able to work through a coaching reflection I've been sitting with for a while. I came away feeling resolved and couldn't have asked for much more."

"This was a brilliant session, I went into it feeling unsure of where I am at and what I needed to talk about, and i came out feeling inspired and motivated. The input from other attendees was really valuable and supportive and I felt like I could have stayed in that group all day if I'd had chance! Thank you for this opportunity it was really enjoyable and helpful."

“A vital course for all leaders or those who have any influence over someone else’s development”

"Principles and practices of coaching can have far reaching implications in a workplace setting. Offers fresh perspective on leadership, culture as well as a more pure coaching application."

“The programme has been brilliant from start to finish. It’s struck a perfect balance of being challenging yet supportive and covering both theory and practice”

I believe that in whatever capacity we work, we work in partnership.

I have experienced first hand the transformational power that comes from being in a safe, supportive and stretching environment. And this has been created when I've felt an equal partner with the people I work with.

So in everything I offer, from coaching to team development, supervision to coach training, I seek to work with people in that same spirit of partnership and co-creativity, where together we build a unique learning environment that enables you to grow and develop in a way that feels transformative for you.
