“Returning to work after maternity leave and joining a new team was a daunting task. Someone then asked me if I wanted coaching and I jumped at the chance. From the very first session I felt the benefit of coaching. Time away from my desk yet in an office environment gave me the freedom to express my frustrations, search for practical solutions and most importantly take time out. By making a few changes to my working day I now feel balanced and in control with a clear direction on where I am heading." R. Hunt, Finance |
