Coaching was offered as part of an outplacement offer with redundancy – the Director had a period off with Stress-related illness and wanting to avoid this in future.
The outcomes for the Coaching were:

- Take time to reflect on their career as a whole for the future
- Create the right work/life balance from the start of their new role
The outcomes were:
‘I have challenged who I am, how I operate and what impact that has on me as a person’
‘The coaching has helped me to focus on who I am and how I want to feel when I get to the end of my career – thinking about my work, life outside of work and myself as a whole that needs planning, paying attention to and reviewing in equal measure’
‘Helen has opened my eyes to the need to re-focus and challenge the way I approach my new role. ‘
‘You have enabled me to see myself in a different light’
‘I can now maximise my energy levels and wellbeing whilst delivering realistic goals at work and supporting a happy and thriving family.’
‘I now regularly look in the mirror and take a helicopter view to honestly appraise where I am at’
‘Now I am clear about my direction, I need to establish clarity of purpose and identity for my developing organisation and be clear about the objectives and outcomes for our key business areas’
