Here is a small selection of client feedback:
"Francoise has been a great help for me in developing my leadership ability but also in giving me greater clarity about my own values. This has helped me set clear goals both in my business and personal life.
If you want a prescriptive coach who goes by the numbers then don't look to Francoise. If you want someone to help steer you on a real journey of development challenging your fundamental beliefs and goals to make you a better person and executive then she's ideal."
Daniel, Director International FMCG company
“Francoise’s insight and stealth coaching style has given me the ability to change perspectives and have real choice in my behaviour and actions. Her challenges has enabled me to take responsibility of my choices and no doubt taken me to a higher level of achievement both on a personal and professional level. Thank you.”
Brian, Director, Family business in Software simulation programmes
“Francoise is a great listener and has the ability to lead you with sensitivity in a constructive way. She has enabled me to clarify my goals and achieve them. I frequently use Francoise as a sounding board, both personally and commercially, and cannot recommend her highly enough as an accomplished coach.”
Nigel, Marketing Director of International Manufacturing company
“Working with Francoise as my coach for the past 6 months, I have regained confidence and able to really perform in my job. She has the ability to unravel stuff, which I had never thought about and helped me unstuck some real stumbling blocks. I am much happier all round.”
Geoff, Director PMO FTSE 100 Multinational Software provider
“Spending time being coached by Francoise helped me understand and tackle those areas which have the ability to take hold and prevent growth, although you never really understand why. Francoise’s gentle, but persistent style helps to create a safe environment where I felt absolutely comfortable in her support and total confidentiality.
Francoise remains objective and professional, whilst providing a ‘safe shoulder’ to lean on, cry on and laugh with, at the same time she encouraged and helped to develop my confidence and personal growth.
I absolutely recommend engaging Francoise, not only as a one to one coach, but also in helping pull together newly formed teams.”
Debbie, Head of International IT for a Global DIY company
“Your quick coaching session with me was really helpful and I have been practising and sharing these insights with my partner – and the team, we have moved into a better space as individuals and as a group. There is laughter in the office and the clients have already given us positive feedback. I look forward to our full programme soon.”
Hugh, CEO of Family Consulting and E-Learning company
“I engaged Françoise to work with me as a coach following work she had accomplished with my European IT Leadership team. Her style is both supportive and challenging, and she helped me to regain my motivation and direction. I felt Francoise had a wide range of tools that she applies in a flexible way according to the circumstances which worked very well for me.
She helped me specifically to think about my longer term goals, both professionally and personally, and to translate this into shorter terms actions and behaviour I need to portray to reach the longer term goals. Her coaching helped me to step back from my day to day activities and answer some very fundamental questions about deeper ambitions in my life. All in all very worthwhile.“
Bernhard, CIO European group of International Pharmaceutical
“The coaching has really focussed me on getting a next move - and creating that for myself. I am on the verge of finalising a move to a more influential business role in one of our bigger overseas ventures - taking on a change and transformation programme. If you had told me 6 months ago that I would be doing this I would have said you were mad - but I am really excited by the opportunity.
Françoise style was very effective. She was very supportive and encouraging - but she stuck with a number of points to really dig into my underlying views and opinions. When she did this she always explained why which encouraged me to 'go with it' and get the benefit at the end.”
Paul, UK CIO of International Energy company
“My initial request was about being coached but without much accuracy about what topic to be covered. The first positive point was for the coach to make me think, discover what my priorities were and let them explain. Then having achieved this first part, with QAs and much personal work, I achieved my goals and felt more and more confident in myself about being able to succeed in fields I failed previously. A second topic to be coached upon came then. Again, instead of leading me, I had to find myself what I was looking for and the benefits and joy were enormous. And so on for the third topic we’ve covered.
In summary : in a very short period, the efficiency of Françoise’s method has been tremendous. She’s helped me developing lasting behaviours which I had but well hidden and these developed capabilities are helping me in a very positive way as a Leader in my new position and also in my private life. She’s capable of finding in one’s DNA the small particle which exists in an embryonic status and make it develop high speed at the benefit of the owner and its environment.”
Xavier Group Service Control Manager
“I never thought it was possible for someone can change so much in such a short time. It took 6 sessions over 3 months and I was able to see a big difference in the way I understand myself and others, both at work and at home. People respond better to me and I get more things done. I now have a quarterly meeting with Francoise and she continues to challenge me and holds me to my commitments. She remembers everything. In addition, it’s fun rewarding and very enjoyable.”
John, Finance Director, E-Learning Software company
“Thank you for your powerful facilitation – your incredible focus and caring attention released such inspiration…for weeks afterwards I found my resolve strong and I am fully committed to my goals. ”
