I began looking for a coach to help me gain the capabilities and skills to make the career progression from senior leader to Managing Director when the role became available. After extensive research, I chose Heather and CommsMasters because of a discussion we had around suitability. Heather’s main concern was ensuring she was the right coach for me. That honest upfront discussion helped clarify my thoughts and gave me no hesitation in choosing to work with the CommsMasters Team.
Additionally, Heather’s extensive work in the construction and engineering sectors gave us a shared background of experience which offered familiarity, a shared language and a way to quickly build rapport and credibility. At the onset, I was really excited and inspired; I knew CommsMasters was right for me.
To achieve my initial goal meant developing other parts of the business, dealing with difficult people situations and the need to change some operational constraints. Working with Heather has resulted in gaining clarity of thought and purpose around decisions and having someone holding me to account on making these changes.
Heather has helped me understand and influence behaviours and has become an essential part of my learning process. She provides knowledge, opinions, and judgment in critical areas. Heather’s coaching has allowed me to learn qualitative insights that, coupled with strong analysis, helped us make better business decisions.
The benefits I’ve shared so far have only scratched the surface in terms of what working with Heather could bring to you and your business. In my view, the development work I’ve done with Heather has led to a more productive and engaged workforce. It has also helped me take advantage of opportunities within my own business for career development which would previously have been out of reach.
