Coaching
MBTI
Jackie has had a huge impact on our company culture, both on a company-wide and individual basis. She has led company training days and continues to coach our senior leaders in self- and line-management. Her calm, open style suits our diverse team membership, and her self-evident knowledge and experience has helped all of us grow as individual professionals.
Working with Jackie during my time as an Operational Leader has been transformative.
Jackie’s coaching enabled me to self-reflect deeply and identify my true purpose, significantly increasing my confidence and communication skills. From our very first session, Jackie’s professional yet enjoyable approach made me feel comfortable and motivated to
delve into areas I had previously overlooked.
Jackie’s ability to facilitate self-reflection and purpose identification was remarkable. Through Jackie’s guidance, I was able to pinpoint what truly drives me and how to harness that passion in my leadership role. This clarity not only boosted my confidence but also
enhanced my communication, enabling me to articulate my vision and ideas more effectively to my team.
One of the most impactful aspects of Jackie’s coaching was Jackie’s skill in helping me form ideas and strategies to bridge the gap from where I started to where I wanted to be. Jackie provided an incredible level of resources, tailored specifically to my needs, which supported my development and growth. These resources were invaluable in helping me achieve my
goals in a structured and effective manner.
The results of Jackie’s coaching were realised organically through each session. Jackie’s ability to blend professionalism with a genuinely enjoyable coaching experience made each meeting something to look forward to. The progress I made under Jackie’s guidance felt natural and sustainable, integrating seamlessly into my day-to-day role.
I am deeply grateful for Jackie’s support and expertise. Jackie’s coaching has not only transformed my professional life but has also had a lasting impact on my personal development. I highly recommend Jackie to anyone seeking to enhance their leadership skills and achieve their professional goals.
Jackie has a rare talent for coaching that is super practical, real, and that makes a genuine difference to one’s performance. She is highly adaptable, pragmatic and crucially, is able to fully challenge your thinking / behaviours in a clever way, that leaves you feeling positive.
You can see that her intelligent and sensible approach is grounded in having been a senior level operator herself. She has certainly played a major part in me successfully navigating through a challenging 6 month on boarding period into a major new role and hence I would unhesitatingly recommend her.
I met Jackie when I was new to a formal Operations Management role and hand on heart, her expertise has supported me through a significant period of change. She has nurtured and challenged me from feeling like a ‘rabbit in headlights’, to the calm and authentic manager I am today.
Jackie has a profound ability to decode my ‘ramble’ in a manner that I leave each session with an effective plan of action, which adds real value to my personal development and which has culminated in the long-term and transformative change in my behaviours as a manager (that both the business and my team have benefitted from too).
I thoroughly enjoy working with Jackie.
Jackie is simply wonderful, her ability to help you shape your thought process and control your passion to direct it in a positive way, are impressive to say the least. Jackie helped me to control and empower myself convince to better my professional self. For anyone looking to develop look no further, Jackie is all you need.
I found myself in a rut having retired from one job and found it difficult to transition to another full-time career. Jackie has a unique ability to tailor a conversation in such a way that it brings out the best in you, reinforcing your own capabilities. I was not only successful, I managed to score top marks in all the competencies. I know that I would not have achieved this without her support and guidance. I would highly recommend Jackie
I worked with Jackie whilst transitioning from a role in Singapore to a corporate career in the UK. Jackie was hugely valuable as a coach, providing both high-level coaching support as well as technical advice and skills. Ultimately, Jackie played a major role in helping me find a great position in the UK. I would recommend anyone looking for coaching and career support get in touch with Jackie for a chemistry meeting.
I felt trust for Jackie early on in our first meeting, and over our 3 sessions I really was able to open up about my challenges. I never felt like I was been given advice, the opposite was the case. Jackie’s skill for progressing a ‘line of questioning’ made for really helpful dialogue after which I left with renewed energy and action to focus on.
I look forward to working with Jackie again.
I completed a year of coaching sessions with Jackie to support and improve my management.
I would definitely recommend working with her. It was a pivotal year for my company and my team grew from 3 to 9, most of them experienced scientists. Jackie did an outstanding job helping me through this successful process.
Jackie has materially improved my ability to empower, develop and challenge my team, my time management and my ‘personal brand’ – in short, to become a better leader. The results have been evident both to myself and my team.
Jackie was always flexible, has an objective approach, with the right balance of support and challenge, enabled me to see a clearer path both in solving leadership issues and achieving my personal development goals. I believe that the techniques and approaches practised and developed with my coach (and the confidence gained) will enable me to continue to improve, even after our coaching programme.
Jackie is a highly professional, positive and talented coach who helped me enormously with planning the next stage of my career. Her challenging yet friendly approach forced me to question myself and explore all possibilities. Jackie helped me to focus on what was important and helped me build an action plan to achieve my goals. If you think you might benefit from having a coach then I would heartily recommend giving Jackie a call for a chat.
I started working with Jackie after a year where I had performed well but couldn’t see it for myself. I had a lot going on in work and life which made me feel overwhelmed. Jackie took me on a journey across that next year where she coached and supported me in resolving some issues in my personal life while helping me see the good that I was doing on a daily basis. I started to appreciate myself more and take more ownership for my life. Jackie has a style that is positive and supportive, plus between sessions her prompts were invaluable in helping me refocus on what’s important.
I always looked forward to my sessions with Jackie and I believe that she helped me grow into myself, build my confidence and take more control of my life.
Jackie was a wonderful facilitator. She spent a lot of time upfront to understand the business and was therefore able to cater her workshop to our team and deliver a very impactful MBTI workshop.
Our entire team left the session feeling energised and empowered to use the learnings and take action. She brings a lot of energy to her work and it’s clear she loves what she does, which in turn inspires those around her. I would absolutely recommend Jackie to anyone looking for this type of service.
Jackie is an expert in MBTI – not just the theory but how to make it come to life so people really get it. She ran an excellent MBTI workshop for the team which provided huge insight for the attendees that is remembered years later. I cannot recommend Jackie highly enough and would choose to work with her again without hesitation.
I recently did a Myers Briggs Profiling session with Jackie which I found invaluable. It brought me great insight into the way I like to work and highlighted areas where I may not show as much interest in.
As a business owner, this insight has been a great tool in helping me identify areas I need to improve on so I can deliver the best service to my clients. I would highly recommend Jackie who is very knowledgeable in the area and I can really see the benefit in Jackie’s expertise for organisational and team development.
Thanks Jackie!
Facilitation
When we were facing challenges in our team at work, we knew we needed an independent outsider to take a dispassionate view and Jackie came very highly recommended.
We were not disappointed. Jackie set up separate meetings with the partners and staff where we could talk completely openly about our feelings and the problems we thought we faced.
Once this was aired, Jackie then turned a negative situation into a positive one, asking searching questions and allowing us to come up with the answers rather than telling us what to do. This gave us far more ‘buy in’ to the solution and way forward.
Jackie checked in with us regularly to ensure we remained focussed and were achieving the actions we had agreed with her. Jackie provided a balanced view and was very calming and measured at all times. There were no rights or wrongs, just a different way of viewing the world from the other persons perspective.
I would recommend Jackie wholeheartedly to any team who feels they are in a bit of a rut and need some positivity and help to move forward.
Jackie provided two services for me at AstraZeneca. Firstly, a ways of working session with a diverse project team, and secondly a facilitation day for an extended team.
Both days were researched very well and execution by Jackie on both days was excellent with very positive outcomes. Jackie is very personable and can relate to people at all levels in an organisation. She has a fantastic positive attitude.
Coaching
Jackie has supported me in an executive coaching capacity during a period of significant corporate change. I value her ongoing support very highly, including her positive and robust challenges, and knack of making me look at problems from different angles. This has helped me gain fresh insights into how I work, whilst increasing my effectiveness as a senior manager.
Jackie has coached me through what has been a tumultuous year from both a work and personal perspective. She is one of the most positive, pragmatic and patient individuals I have had the pleasure to meet and her approach to our meetings and discussions flexes each time we catch up. Jackie is agile and allows me to take whichever direction I want with our discussion.
Being new to my Director role, she encourages me to think more strategically, consider my leadership style, find the right answers for me and my team and to recognise how my behaviours impact others. I always come away positive and focussed after our sessions benefitting me and my team.
I appreciate Jackie’s honesty and practical suggestions. I can honestly say that I wouldn’t have got through the last twelve months in such a positive way without Jackie’s support and encouragement. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Not knowing what to expect from our time together, my initial meeting with Jackie was a detailed outpouring of everything that had happened over the preceding period, current and future challenges; with hindsight, what Jackie must have thought is beyond me, however, it was a fair representation of how I was feeling at the time.
Our meeting time soon became much more focused, where I felt confident to share my core challenges. Jackie challenged my thinking, and reflected my thoughts back to me for consideration. The meetings often went off-piste, which Jackie would allow to happen before bringing us back on track.
Jackie continued to stay in touch outside of our meetings, and sent me regular prompts to ensure I was still focusing on the areas I had identified – predominantly to create some headspace, and take a step back from the consuming day to day activities and focus on my team and key stakeholders.
Jackie provided a balanced and safe environment, and was a calming influence throughout. The time and effort spent here will be long-lasting, and I would not hesitate to recommend Jackie.
Thank you!
As someone new to the role of MD, I was keen to invest in my development and leadership skills. Having approached Jackie about Myers Briggs, she suggested a chemistry meeting (completely free of charge!) to understand what I wanted to achieve and how we could work together. I haven’t looked back!
Jackie is a real expert in her field and has a natural style to encourage you to find the answers. She has helped me to think more strategically, have faith in what I do and importantly to recognise my behaviour traits and their impact.
I love working with her and have really benefitted from our sessions together and so have my team! Thank you!
