She was really brilliant at noticing key themes emerging in my work, and empowering me to work through them. She brought a real sense of support and challenge - pushing me to work out out my own priorities as well as my organisations.' - Matthew, Director of Comms, NEON'Fran provided a very safe and creative space for exploring ideas and feelings regarding my career''Fran was great in directing my thinking process to help me realise my potential and assess situations. I felt like there was a safe space to share thoughts without fearing judgement or being misunderstood. I always felt like I had a plan leaving a session and had a chance to reflect on it after. I especially found Fran’s skill in her follow up questions amazing – I was able to navigate different perspectives without being prompted directly to do so.' Sara, Delivery Manager
