Inspirational Coaching Skills

Inspirational Coaching Skills training from Heidi. Staff took away key messages and actions that they could use immediately – a real plus with any training. The impact is reflected in staff confidence to solve problems and through being enablers for each other.

Cherished, nurtured, possibly be given a few homemade treats

Do not work with this woman unless you are willing to be asked provocative questions, held to account regarding the goals you have set, challenged about your water consumption, probed about your life balance and encouraged to reflect upon progress towards your dreams. If you’re up for that, your life will positively expand. You will be cherished, nurtured, possibly be given a few homemade treats and have a Coach for keeps!

The relationship we built was effortless

Heidi was so supportive and helped me to think more deeply about my goal and how and what steps I might take to achieve it. The relationship we built was effortless and one of trust and understanding

Safe space allowed me to achieve a clarity

Heidi’s coaching style is one of open dialogue which creates an atmosphere of relaxation, without reservation or judgement. This safe space allowed me to achieve a clarity of thought enabling me to create a path to resolution. I am now showcasing positive performance at work and have been able to extrapolate these newly-acquired mechanisms, transferring them to my personal life. For anyone else who also feels elongated periods of uncertainty and a general lack of guidance, I strongly recommend seeking out Heidi’s coaching as a way to overcome these obstacles which have personally led me to a new mindset of positivity.

An invaluable support system

Heidi’s approach is personal and has been an invaluable support system. As my Coach, she has helped me to develop strategies to managing my anxiety so that I can overcome difficulties. Her ability to create such a safe space has really propelled my recovery and changed my perspective of myself.

Heidi was invigorating, insightful and fun

Having recently been appointed to an Executive position, I found the sessions provided me with a confidential, dedicated space to reflect upon my performance.
Working with Heidi was invigorating, insightful and fun. She unquestionably held me to account for my actions, checked-in on my wellbeing and helped me to make the transformations that I identified. She was and is amazing!

Focused and invaluable

The coaching sessions over the year have been focused and invaluable, allowing me to focus on my career development whilst giving me the opportunity to develop my vision, values, teamwork and overall effectiveness.

I feel I am much more confident now!

You are to changing them according to our specific needs or areas for development. I feel I am much more confident now! I’ve been really happy with all of our sessions and I can’t think of anything that would have made them better.

A revolutionary force in my life

Heidi has been a revolutionary force in my life, I came to her at a time when I was deeply struggling with motivation and being pulled multiple directions. Even after the first session I the session the sense of direction that comes from her no nonsense approach to drawing out the important stuff in a positive and empowering way, was incredibly freeing. Since then she has been helping me build a toolkit to move forward in life finding positive goals and striding towards them, rather than getting caught up in the negatives. I have to admit before this I was a little sceptical about coaching but now I would highly recommend coaching with Heidi to anyone looking who needs help finding their direction or motivation.

Just 12 sessions has turned my life around for the better

I would highly recommend Heidi to anyone. Heidi tailors the sessions around the individual and personalises the sessions and the targets to suit you to ensure you get the most out of each session. Her warm manner, encouraging style and positive attitude makes you feel positive and that anything is possible.

Impact of just 12 sessions has turned my life around for the better.

Helped me to become a more impactful leader

The three coaching sessions completed with Heidi were highly impactful to my leadership as a new Headteacher. The opportunity to discuss current practice and to reflect, scaffolded by highly skilled questionning, helped me to identify areas for development within my leadership and also to build the confidence to introduce new ways of thinking and new strategies. As a result my confidence as a leader has grown, buoyed in part by the reassurance gained through out professional dialogue, that what I am doing is ok and how I am feeling is valid. In addition, I feel equipped with a developed sence of clarity and agency, which has enabled my to alter my mindset, reduce the tendancy I have to spiral in to panic and overwhelm and also to trial new strategies to help manage stress and workload. As a result, I feel more in control and feel that this has positvely impacted my leadership within school. Finally, the sessions helped me to identify when ‘push back’ is needed and when boundaires need to be reaffirmed, so I feel like more of an active participant in the process of leadership. This has been empowering and has helped me gain more perspective and balance and ultimately helped me to become a more impactful leader.

Heidi’s coaching and invaluable support I have secured a new role

I received Executive Coaching to support me in progressing my career and securing my next position to achieve this. I appreciated how Heidi used a range of coaching tools and strategies to  identify those that best complimented my own style of learning and personality and how she encouraged me to stretch the goals and targets I had set for myself and therefore my professional growth. 

Heidi’s constructive feedback and observations along with proactive reminders and encouragment in between sessions really supported me to stay motivated and on task. Always thoughtful and considerate to ensure each session was planned I felt at the end of each session I had made progress. 

I am pleased to say with Heidi’s coaching and invaluable support I have secured a new role and in this role am able to demonstrate my leadership skills confidently, a more professional and considered approach to delivering presentations and greater self awareness. 

With huge thanks and appreciation to the Supermagic coach!

I found myself at my lowest

I had come to Heidi when I found myself at my lowest, I had gone through a difficult redundancy process with my previous employer and was in the middle of applying, preparing for interviews. As a result of the redundancy process, I lost all the confidence in myself and my self-worth was at its lowest, I was seconding guessing all my decisions and this was having a huge impact in the way I approached my interviews. Having a session with Heidi was incredibly powerful. It’s amazing what positive energy and somebody telling you that you got this can do for one’s self confidence. Heidi not only put up the mirror in front of that once dynamic person that I believed myself to be, but also gave me strategies and tools to prepare for my interviews. After my sessions with Heidi,  I had 4 interviews lined up in one week, of which I received 3 offers!! To say that Heidi was my 11th hour calling is an understatement, you are THE key to my supermagical powers.

Fun, but purposeful and DIFFERENT

You have worked miracles!  Staff have been very tired this week and you managed to engage them all in the session!

The impact of the session was evident in the active discussions in groups about how we can implement the theory in practice.  In my group, staff really got into it!

The feedback showed that staff had a lot of action points that they can take back to their departments and into their classrooms.

I loved your booklets – they were fun, but purposeful and DIFFERENT.

Helped me to seek clarity and commitment

I completed a coaching session with Heidi when I was at a point in my work and personal life where I needed some support and guidance to identify my goals and work out a path to achieving them.  Heidi helped me to seek clarity and commitment within one coaching session, which in turn lead to me making huge decisions in both my personal and working life.

Extremely Helpful

Developed further ideas

Really helpful session. Heidi was extremely easy to talk to openly which facilitated the session and sharing of ideas.  This session helped foster the ideas I had already started to formulate.   I have a few actions to take away and continue to reflect on the session which has developed further ideas. 

Heidi was extremely easy to talk to and very encouraging – everything you want in a coach. She gave me practical support to adopt in my day to day practice to help overcome my concerns.

She was very engaging and had a really good insight into the challenges I am facing.  I felt like she listened and really understood, which was helpful and helped put me at ease.  She was very intuitive and helped me think about the challenges in different ways.  I found the session extremely useful.

‘Very helpful and very informative. It has given me a chance to learn more and reflect on the way I deal with conversations and the ways I will approach the role of being a mentor’.

‘Really enjoyed learning about DISC and how to coach the different styles’

‘Coaches aren’t there to provide the solutions, they are there to help the coachee solve their own solutions through great questioning skills’

Challenging and confidence-building

Heidi’s sessions were fantastic; they were both challenging and confidence-building, giving me the tools and skills to have greater insight into myself and help to tackle the situations I found myself facing in starting a new job as a manager. She foregrounded the importance of accountability and of breaking down the daunting into achievable steps; her teaching background was invaluable in helping us to work towards solving problems, but with Heidi instrumental in helping me to come to solutions and strategies myself.

Her fundamental focus on the importance of communication, in looking forward to manage potential issues before they become issues and in ‘taking employees with me’ have been mantras which have subsequently guided my work, and her sessions have helped me in my personal life too; her calm thoughtfulness and positivity are infectious, with her helping me to see the things that I am capable of. She has also helped me with delegation skills and empowering staff.

I would thoroughly recommend Heidi as a coach: she has a depth of experience in the professional world and this gives her the reflective insight to help her clients to gain their own. My own journey in leadership has been immeasurably accelerated by our sessions, and I know I will be using the tools she has helped me to gain for the rest of my professional life.

Streamline my thinking

Initially Heidi helped me to seeking clarity for my micro goals and held me accountable to these. After my first session I felt so much more positive and clear and the direction I was heading.   So much so that between my first and second sessions life changing decisions were made!

As we moved through the coaching sessions my goals shifted and every session Heidi helped me to focus my thoughts by asking pertinent questions and gently but firmly, ensuring accountability on my part!

Heidi gave me a number of tools to manage some of the pressures I encounter and I now have effective strategies for dealing with these.

Looking back at my sessions with Heidi has made me realise how much I had swimming around in my head before we started and how she has helped me to streamline my thinking processes and my techniques for dealing with things when I feel overwhelmed.

Throughout our sessions Heidi was always positive, robust in her approach and yet kind and utterly professional!

I will not hesitate to recommend Heidi to others or contact her again should I need more coaching.
