Testimonials
I recently had a DISC Report and some coaching with Claire, and I was impressed with the outcome. Firstly, the DISC Report itself helped me to understand my personality traits and how I can use these to my benefit, whether personally or in my business. It was also really useful to see how my traits change when I’m under pressure and any differences between my behaviours in private and in public. Having the coaching with Claire afterwards to discuss this was very insightful, but Claire’s DISC offer went well above my expectations. Secondly, having discussed how I should interact with other personality types, we were able to identify who my ideal client might be (or not be!). We then took that even further to think about how my marketing messages can tap into the strengths and challenges for these clients. I mean, that’s gold-dust. The session gave me so much to think about, and having already given some thought into adapting my communication style, and I will also be using the insights into re-thinking some of my sales copy too. On top of this, Claire delivers the report and insights in a way that made me feel confident that it’s OK to be me – it doesn’t matter what type of personality type I am, I have strengths which should be admired. I felt very empowered after my session with Claire and would have no hesitation in recommending her to any business owners wishing to delve into their personality with a DISC profile or with leadership and confidence coaching.

Over the past two years at work, I was gradually noticing high levels of disengagement and a lack of motivation and confidence. This led to a breakdown in communication between myself and my manager. The situation escalated due to the national lock-down and I began to feel isolated and unhappy at work.
Luckily, my manager recognised my decline, and reached out to Claire for external help.
Through coaching sessions with Claire, we identified various contributing factors. This included a loss of direction in my role and a job title that did not properly represent my responsibilities and contributions to a small but growing team.
Claire used my DISC personality profile, SWOT analysis and motivation outcomes to improve my self-awareness, which has enabled better communication with my manager. This has allowed us to openly discuss my situation and we are working together to address the issues identified through my coaching sessions.
I have regained confidence and motivation, and finally feel more like myself.

I was floundering with the business side of my practice. I had little focus, direction, interest and confidence in the business admin, processes and general day to day running of my business.
I had tried coaches before but Claire was different and offered more than a sounding board and telling me to sort it myself.
We met monthly initially and then further apart as the business came together. Our meetings kept me on track, at my speed, with a bit of a push here and there.
The business has had it's best year for income and I feel my work is where I want it with possibly too many clients now. A good position to be in. Claire has helped me clarify my focus and purpose which has taken a lot of strain out of pressure as to where I am, what I should be doing and where I am heading.
