“When working at the individual level, Elaine has an uncanny ability to ask the ‘right question’, which enables important personal insights and the start of self discovery. I have both experienced this and observed her achieve it at very senior levels within the organisation. She does her work here with a frank, challenging style coupled with a deep sense of care for the human beings she is connecting with. Once you have worked with Elaine, it will be hard to let her go!”
“Elaine is always keen to use a range of approaches through the course of our coaching conversations. The coaching constellations (creating maps) approach provided real simplicity and key insights into the working dynamics of my team. Specifically, I was able to understand and explore the relationships with individual members, if this relationship was where I wanted it to be and what corrective actions I should explore in order to create a thriving and enjoyable environment for everyone to succeed. Since working in this way our team has become stronger, more aligned and more supportive of each other, which has enabled us to bring more value to the wider organisation.”
