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, NEONFran 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 ManagerFran helped me to unpick how my self-confidence had depleted and therefore was making me feel nervous about returning to work. The coaching sessions gave me practical techniques to continue working on my self-confidence in the workplace. Fran is a kind and patient listener and thoughtful adviser.
