I’M FORTUNATE to work with MANY great clients. Here is what SOME of them have said. If you'd like to speak to any of them, they would be happy to talk to you personally. And if you’d like to know SOME OF THE companies I work with, PLEASE scroll down to THE BOTTOM TO SEE a selection.
"The coaching stimulated me to excel & produced tangible benefits to my company"
I’ve had a number of coaching sessions through the years that I have been operating at board and Exco level. The coaching sessions with Claudia were the best I’ve ever had. They produced tangible benefits, to me and to my company. They stimulated me and energised me to excel in areas which were proving difficult. Claudia is very empathetic but with a great level of challenge. She is very quick to understand the whole situation, and to delve to the key issues, even though she has no direct experience of my industry. Her insights were invaluable, empowering me to achieve better performance, improve relationships at work, and examine my own behaviours with objectivity. We identified blockers and potential solutions. The sessions were de-stressing and overall made me feel more valuable, more confident, more in control and happier! Overall, I felt I was empowered to do my job better, and more easily.

"The impact on both me personally and the business was immediate and significant"
In the maelstrom of a crisis, Claudia provided a sanctuary I did not know I needed. She created a space where I could reflect, learn and take action. With clear direction and confidence, I successfully navigated a difficult period. The impact on both me personally and the business was immediate and significant. A huge weight, I didn’t even recognise I was carrying, vanished. The impact on the business was no less significant. One coaching conversation led to the company saving in excess of $2million on a deal. We also saved a huge amount of time and pressure for the entire team. The value of that, in a world that is rapidly changing, is unquantifiable.
CEO & CO-FOUNDER
"She is able to call out your BS and challenges you by asking insightful questions"
Claudia is absolutely amazing. She is sharp, focused, able to call out your BS and challenges you by asking insightful questions. Questions you wouldn’t think (or dare) ask yourself. She expertly builds on her own leadership experience as well as her extensive experience as a coach to help you reach your objectives.
VP, WORLD LEADING DIGITAL TRAVEL COMPANY
"Phenomenal. I feel more empowered. I achieve more in less time"
The coaching was phenomenal. I achieved all of my objectives, exceeding all of my expectations. After each session, I returned to the office buzzing with confidence and the new ways of thinking it’s given me. I feel happier, less stressed and more empowered. I’m much more assertive and direct. I achieve more in less time. Coaching with Claudia also brought the clarity and practical actions I’d been wanting and lacking in my long-term career direction. I highly recommend her.
ACCOUNT DIRECTOR, GLOBAL MEDIA AGENCY
"The perfect balance of support and challenge to unlock a better version of myself”
From the very first, I felt I’d found in Claudia someone I trust, someone who cares, someone who understands me and someone who can help bring out the best in me. She encouraged me to aim high and get really clear on my goals and tangible success measures. From there, she offered the perfect balance of support and challenge as I sought out new experiences. Now, as a direct result of her coaching, I’ve been able to elevate my role, my scope and my influence in my organisation. And, just as importantly, I’ve found fun and fulfilment along the way - both inside and outside of work. In summary, it all comes from within and Claudia did a wonderful job to unlock an all-round better version of myself. She’s a total joy to work with and I’ll be forever grateful.

"She has helped me make some incredible breakthroughs”
I have worked with a number of great coaches over the years but I’ve achieved my absolute best results with Claudia. She is hands down exceptional: energetic, dynamic and gets to know you and makes you feel understood. Her various different approaches always get the best out of me, regardless of the particular challenge. I also appreciate how she enables me to constantly make useful connections to build on previous insights. She has helped me make some incredible breakthroughs which have made a noticeable difference to my working life, my communication, my resilience and my capability. She is the just the right level of direct with a great, relaxed personal style and good sense of humour which means I always enjoy spending time with her. I don’t think there is an Executive Coach I could meet who would be better for me. I look forward to working with her again.
PARTNER, PINSENT MASONS
“I found my dream job and developed the confidence to know I deserved to have it"
I was anti-coaching until I met Claudia. I am now evangelical about it and her. I cannot actually put into words the gift that Claudia gave me through her ability to help me deconstruct challenges and understand bad habits, to see new ways of working and discover routes to where I wanted to be. With endless patience and good humour, she calmly guided me through a process of self-discovery and career development. Claudia is the reason I found my dream job and I will forever be endebted to her for giving me the tools to recognise it. Through our work I realised what I really wanted from my career and developed the confidence to know that I deserved to have it. I cannot recommend Claudia enough to those senior leaders who need a fresh perspective or are feeling a bit directionless. Coaching with Claudia is a game changer!
MEDEIA COHAN, CO-FOUNDER, CREATIVE ENTREPRENEURS’ CLUB
"I’m firing on all cylinders. I’ve worked with coaches before but none as valuable as Claudia"
After a very successful 20-year career I was still delivering great results on the outside but inside was losing my self-confidence. Claudia worked with me over 6 months. She took me apart and put me back together again. She listened carefully and gently directed when necessary. At the end of the process I’ve rediscovered my strengths, revived my voice and am firing on all cylinders. I’ve worked with coaches before but none have been as valuable as Claudia.

I loved working with Claudia. I got honest feedback others don't tell you (spinach in the teeth moments!) from someone whose opinion I really respect and value.

"Working with Claudia has been transformative...invaluable"
Working with Claudia has been transformative. She has facilitated meaningful reflection on all aspects of my work which has been invaluable. Her astute and highly focused approach has sharpened my ability to analyse and given me clarity to determine the best course of action to resolve highly complex situations. Most importantly, her support and insight have given me the confidence to develop a coherent vision and embed a culture in which others perform at the highest level, meaning that Claudia’s impact has been felt far beyond her interactions with me. Claudia is a delight. Time spent with her leaves you feeling re-energised, re-focused and resolved to positively meet the professional & personal challenges ahead.

She is an engaged, perceptive listener who consistently challenged me to rethink my personal assumptions and perceptions, push my comfort zones, and ultimately find my voice as a leader. The results have been phenomenal. I feel I’ve found “a new gear” to operate in – both in my professional world and daily life. I couldn’t recommend her more highly and hope to work with her again.

I came away from each session always feeling more self-aware and better prepared to tackle the particular conversation or scenario we’d dissected.
C-SUITE LEADER, GLOBAL ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY
"The results are so dramatic…progress was made from the very first session”
The coaching assignment was to support a Partner in the step up to a new leadership role. It is always difficult to say what results can be directly attributed to the coaching. However, the results are so dramatic that I'm confident in saying that we now have an excellent Partner and an excellent Coach in Claudia. Progress was made from the very first session on style, communication and visibility with feedback from those who work closely with the Partner feeling strongly that they now demonstrate real and credible leadership.

"Just what I needed at an important point in my career"
Even though I'd been working for more than 20 years, I had never had a coach before. These sessions with Claudia were just what I needed at an important point in my career. She was very easy to talk to but also a straight-shooter. Her approach helped me get behind the issues and progress my way through them. Thanks to her, I was able to see the options, prioritise and gain renewed strength. It made a difference to all my interactions at work and to my planning for the future.

She delved deep into my psyche to help me see what has driven me to date and clarify what is really important to me in future roles. She helped me focus on direction and the choices out there. She has given me a huge boost of confidence and courage. Everyone should have a Claudia experience at least once in their lives!'
