The coaching sessions with Wendy have been invaluable for my professional development and confidence as a new manager. Wendy encouraged me to think more deeply about the root of the challenges I encountered, to enable me to identify suitable solutions that would work for me. Specific examples include managing and prioritising my time effectively and managing my own expectations. Wendy also recognised personal traits that were important to me, such as creativity and supported me with how I could include this within my role. Wendy’s encouragement and wealth of expertise enabled me to reflect upon my achievements and future plans and provide me with a sense of accomplishment within my new role. |
