“Gaining
an understanding of your personal values is astonishing!
I had spent my whole life accumulating money and
power-and discovered that they don't really matter.
The things that matter more to me are creativity,
intellectual stimulation and purpose”.
Gary Miles
Former Management Board, PA Consulting
"The exercises and
network of contacts were important in helping me
to progress, however more important is the level
of support and trust that’s been established.
Next Step helps me set clear goals. I always feel
like my coach is there to support my success"
Susannah Kingsmill
Director, Ernst & Young
"Next Step has made
me much less stressed and much happier at work.
I negotiate what I want, I worry less, I deal with
everyone I work with better and I make better decisions.
It's very supportive and I like the regular and
ongoing nature."
Margarita O Malley
Partner, Watts & Partners
"Working with my
coach is hard, but fun. I didn't expect it to be
fun. I was resistant at first. But when I look back
I see that we've come a long way in a short space
of time. It's a bit shocking."
Jane Shankster
Senior Manager, Ernst & Young LLP
"A converted coaching
cynic, this was worth the investment - and you have
to be prepared to invest a lot of yourself! My organisation
has benefited and so have the people around me.
My life at work and home are richer for being coached.
My coach also trained me to coach myself so this
is a lasting benefit."
Cate Kemp
Group Operations, Lloyds TSB
" 6 months working
with my coach and I have written up a PhD thesis
I thought was not doable, and been appointed to
the job of my dreams I thought was unobtainable.
More than this I have gained a belief in myself
that I can work to make a difference both in my
own life, and in the lives of my family, friends
and patients."
Hospital Consultant, NHS
" I knew I needed
a change, but it was very hard to work out exactly
what I needed to change and how to do it. My coach
helped me to understand what was important to me
and to clarify what I needed to do in order to achieve
this. She challenged some of my preconceptions about
what was reasonable and possible, and offered the
support that I needed to face the challenge. She
also gave me valuable space and time to think about
what was right for me rather than focusing on what
other people expected or wanted me to do. She helped
me to find the courage and impetus to see what needed
to be done and then to do it, and as a result my
career is about to take an exciting turn into a
new area."
