During the time I have known and worked with Vicky, she has brought strong, kind and compassionate support. She brings strategic focus when it is greatly needed and has the ability to translate this into practical plans and goal setting.
I have learned so much from Vicky during the time we have worked together including how to be a more effective leader and manager whilst looking after and protecting my needs and those of my family. I fully endorse Vicky as an expert executive coach who will work with you to define and achieve your personal goals whist improving and preserving your career in the service of others.

Vicky supported me through a very tough time, I was working extremely long hours, travelling the country for my work on top, not sleeping and permanently exhausted. I was not fully productive at work and my performance started to slip despite putting in more than enough hours! I had no time for my relationships and when I did I was too tired and preoccupied to enjoy them. I gained weight and my health and fitness fell away to a routine of driving, working, driving, drinking, bath and bed - only to sleep 4-5 hours before starting all over again.
Vicky helped me prioritise and be kind to myself, reversing the spiral I had found myself in, to one that built my life rather than eroded it. With my balance restored I was able to spend quality time with my loved ones, get out on my bike one again and was able to eat healthily. My sleep then improved (surprise - turns out what they say is true!) and I felt on top of my game at work. I am now enjoying a happy and balanced life with an employer that appreciates me and won't take advantage (partly because I know my worth and won't let it happen again). Thank you Vicky for helping me turn my life around!
