Orbit

As a new Sales Manager with new team the Orbit programme was very timely. The combination of coaching coupled with structured account development and workshops helped to establish a common language across the team expediting our account planning process. We experienced a number of quantifiable benefits including an increase in the number of services engagements and meetings with more senior client contacts within our target base. The process has become integral to how the team works using ongoing coaching to ensure that personal and company goals align and account development to maintain momentum. I feel the regular coaching sessions has enabled me increase my understanding of underlying team member's motivations and values giving me real confidence in the team and my ability to execute on opportunities.

Helen's approach rested upon helping me to understand my own personal motivators and values, and allowing focus on these to enable me to become more centred, confident and capable.

While I was able to make huge changes during the period of the coaching, improving my time management, results orientation and personal effectiveness and achieving Director status, some fifteen months after the coaching formally ended, I am now significantly more effective at work, and yet more relaxed and less stressed. This is because it has been so simple and natural to continue to put into effect what I learned during Helen's coaching. I would recommend her to anyone!

There is no doubt in my mind that the coaching I received from Gill, was a significant factor in me landing the job. Her excellent methods of coaching equipped me with the tools I required to be successful, I am duly grateful to Gill for making me believe in myself again. I personal recommend the services of Gill Barstow to anyone who feels that they are not reaching their full potential, or who are just a little down with their life. But I must say this, she will provide you with the tools for success, but it is down to you to put the work in after the sessions are over. If you are able to do this, then you too will enjoy success, and truly benefit from the services of an excellent coach.

I have been working with Gill with the goal of working through the pros and cons of extending and developing my training business. I find her very empathetic and supportive and naturally able to encourage trust within a coaching relationship. However I also greatly value her wealth of business experience and her ability to lead and direct the process - these are invaluable for me in terms of making me think out-of-the-box. Gill is a great communicator and really quite inspiring and motivating in enabling me to move forward, despite all the uncertainties - all of which combine to make working with her a very valuable and rewarding experience.

Jane Hyde Walsh - Business Coach and Consultant

I feel completely differently now about the people management part of what I do. I have a top performing team who are very positive and motivated. I feel I have developed a way in which I can work individually with them all - which makes it easier to run team meetings (something I have always disliked doing.) Everyone is really working to their strengths. When we took part in the company's Employee Opinion Survey our department was not only the best in terms of overall / individual scores across the different categories but considerably ahead of the next best department in each case... For me you are one of those people you meet in life who really make a difference.
