The role in my organisation I was aiming for was particularly demanding and testing and I felt I needed help to reach a significant goal at a crucial time in my career. Through Diana Parkes experience and expertise in coaching I have developed new skills and resolved some very challenging situations and perhaps most important of all regained my own faith in my own abilities. By listening and playing back to me what I had said Diana was able to demonstrate to me that I clearly had the underlying skills and knowledge to achieve that goal but I needed to reinforce my own confidence in my abilities and needed to better articulate my worth to those around me. Her balanced, well researched and professionally presented programmes really opened my eyes and renewed my determination to succeed and her guidance allowed me to approach what I needed to do in a structured fashion which proved invaluable.
