Client testimonials

“Thank you for your support with the team and me personally. Your agility, innovative thinking, challenge and drive has really helped us not only deliver as a Region but also in becoming a powerful high performing leadership team.”

Managing Director, Financial services

“The trust and openness right you created from the start, set the tone for our work. Your guidance in helping us define and embrace our collective purpose has unified us and strengthened our commitment together. Your counsel to me has been highly valued, insightful, and immensely enjoyable. The support you have provided to my team is equally remarkable, accelerating our collective thinking, positively impacting our internal dynamics and external relationships.”

Director, Financial Services

“I valued our sessions and have never been more motivated to learn and develop in preparation for coaching sessions before. The experience with you was so positive. You gave the impression that you were truly invested in my development. You created a shift in my thinking – whilst I was self-aware before, I never took it to the next level and actively coached myself. Now you are my very own ‘coach in my head’. I often find myself asking “what would Vera ask?” when pondering a situation – that will likely be with me forever.”

Partnership Lead, Banking

” Vera is an exceptional highly regarded coach who has been instrumental in my growth as a leader. She has coached me over multiple sessions spanning 2 years and has sharpened my self-view by continually introducing fresh perspectives and numerous pearls of wisdom which have shifted my mindset and stimulated me to discover and embrace new challenges which have proved pivotal to my personal growth. I would highly recommend her.”

Head of Business Banking Cards & Payments, Barclays

“Vera is an amazing coach, and she has helped me with my career, so that I obtained my promotion to Director in September 2023. Vera has supported me through decisions and challenges, and the group coaching sessions she organised for fellow female directors have been really useful. I would strongly recommend her as an internal or external coach.”

Programme Director, Barclays

“Vera has provided excellent coaching with fantastic results both at a team and individual level to our senior leaders and growing talent. The impact Vera made has supported with team dynamics, dealing with conflict, thought leadership and overall personal development and growth that has in turn driven better outcomes for our colleagues and customers.”
