The following testimonials come from projects carried out in 2011 and 2012:
Senior SHE manager : international engineering and construction company
“Navigating around organisational politics and adversarial relationships at work can bring your personal progress to a grinding halt and hinder business opportunities. Through Aryanne’s unique coaching and guidance I was able to bring reason and understanding to an adversarial situation I found myself in, and which I was partially oblivious to. Aryanne’s support has enabled me to develop skills which I have used to great effect. She is an expert in her field of work, and I would certainly recommend Aryanne Oade as a coach to any business professional needing this type of support.”
HR Director: large public sector organisation
“I have worked with Aryanne over a 12 month period in her capacity as a coach. During this time Aryanne has supported and helped me, through her questioning and listening skills, to work through a very difficult time both professionally and personally. Without Aryanne’s insight and excellent coaching skills, her genuine interest and concern for me both professionally and as an individual, I would not have been able to move on in my life in the way that I have. Aryanne has restored my self confidence, has provided me with insight and reasoning and given me the ability to de-personalise situations and see the world from different perspectives. Aryanne’s coaching programme has been inspiring and life changing for me. I would certainly recommend Aryanne Oade as a coach to help individuals through challenging periods in their lives.”
Specialist consultant : an NHS Trust
“I am a doctor working at consultant level in a busy district general hospital. I had an unfortunate upsetting experience at work that knocked my confidence and made me question my choice of vocation. Aryanne was able to identify the issues that I hadn’t recognised myself and systematically work on those issues until I could view the situation differently. She used a number of assessment tools to evaluate my personality and behaviour in the workplace and thus used techniques that would be most effective to my behavioural style. She was also able to give me tailor-made coaching as to how to manage future stressful events should the need arise. I now feel that although the sessions were planned as a solution to a problem, for which they were very effective, they have been proactive at preparing me for the rest of my career. I would not hesitate to recommend Aryanne as without her, I would no longer be working in my chosen profession.”
The following testimonials come from clients who have worked with Aryanne for a number of years:
Senior executive : international financial services industry
“I have been working with Aryanne for many years and I have found her support as an executive coach and as an author of books on key managerial topics extremely insightful. Not only was she instrumental in improving my managerial skills at a crucial stage of my career, but she has also helped me regularly to understand myself better and to develop my career in a personally fulfilling direction. Finally, I really value the fact that she has always been open and available to me over the years as a key sounding board and committed to maintain a long term client relationship.”
Elizabeth A Wood, RN, ONC, NDN, SPCPHN, PGDip, MBA : Head of Occupational Health & Wellbeing Services, York Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
“Having used Aryanne’s services on a number of occasions, I can say that her advice and support, actions and delivery have proved beneficial to my organisation and specifically to my service delivery of health care provision. Her clarity of thought and careful management of the personalities involved assisted me in building a really efficient and capable senior team whose understanding of each others personality traits enhanced our team dynamics and work delivery. I cannot emphasise how much assistance her work with us was, and on a personal front her support to me as a senior manager has been invaluable in developing an efficient and cost effective team approach to our business development and productivity. I would recommend her services specifically in the arena of team building, team dynamics and use of personality trait analysis to enable better understanding of how your team functions individually and as a whole unit. We all benefited from this work.”
