I have been meaning to contact you to thank you for your amazing sessions and for giving me so much help, I have really valued our time together and you have been so thought provoking and inspiring.

Rosemary Rodgers, Director, Handling Movement and Ergonomics Ltd

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you for all your kind help and support over the last six months. I have been really amazed by the turnaround since our first meeting and will keep moving forward, thanks to the techniques etc. we have gone through.

Sales Director, Lincolnshire

Since my coaching with Estelle at Beee I have been able to maintain a balance between my work and social life. I have been promoted and have received a 20% pay rise. Her coaching has also had a positive effect on my personal life; with her help I have decided to move in with my partner and bought a new car.  

Louisa Luongo, Independent Financial Adviser

Being self-employed in a small business, I could not have resolved the staff issue I was dealing with without Estelle’s help.  With her extensive knowledge and experience of personnel issues she was able to offer me a step by step route to resolving the problem as well as giving me support and encouragement throughout the process.  Estelle offered excellent strategies to help with work during this difficult situation and the support I needed to see the process through to completion.

I would definitely use Estelle’s services again should the need arise and I am very happy to recommend her to fellow business people.

Director, Nottingham

I have found Estelle to be a consummate professional with a REALISTIC approach, wicked sense of humour, and great passion for her work.

 

Estelle has restored my confidence and self esteem; I wish I had known her years ago, thereby saving myself considerable time, money and effort.

 

There is no doubt Estelle has enabled me to change from a de-motivated, disgruntled employee working in a negative environment in the public sector to being a successful director in young developing company.

Director, Derby

I called my manager and told him I wanted to be considered for promotion; he was thrilled I wanted to improve myself. Once again thank you, it was fun, interesting, exhausting but above all it reminded me I used to be a confident person and feel that person is back!

Annette Symcox, Sales Executive

I was one of Estelle’s first coachees. This must have been challenging for her because notwithstanding our friendship and close working relationship, there was the obvious challenge that she was being asked to assist her Line Manager. This was not an impediment to our coaching relationship which is a tribute to her professionalism, patience and empathy. I am aware of a number of colleagues who have also been coached by Estelle. The fact that a number of these were senior members of staff is an example for the high regard in which she is held. I am aware that she has had some notable successes with colleagues. This is not self serving testimony by Estelle but what I have been told by the colleagues or have deduced from changes in their work practices or management style.

My coaching sessions helped me to identify which of my ideas were important to drive the development of my business sector forward. It was especially useful that coaching allowed me to get to the nub of what I needed to do rather than being distracted by external factors.

Alison Neate, Partner, Smith Partnership

I would never have believed that anything could help me with my phobia of frogs; I carried my fear with me every day and felt there was no escape from it. After just one session with Estelle I was not only able to look at pictures of cartoon frogs but of real ones too, something I never thought I would do. Now when I’m out I don’t have to be scared and on the look out for frogs; I use the aids & techniques I learnt during my coaching session. My family could not believe it and neither could I. I can honestly say it changed my life!

Marketing Assistant, Kendal

I didn't really have any idea about what coaching was about. After seeing Estelle, I realise that it’s like talking things over with your best friend, but having them say sensible things rather than just joining in on the moaning! Estelle helped me turn my thought process around, made me see things from the other person's perspective and this helped me to realise, that I was deleting positive thoughts and replacing them with negative ones. Coaching has helped me look at things with a renewed perspective, and it’s made me a much happier person!!

Chrissie Porter, Director, Grapevine

I was a little cynical about coaching before my session with Estelle, and I was pleasantly surprised at how she actually made me feel good about myself - with so little effort! The skills Estelle taught me have enabled me to confidently deal with negative issues as well as build on positive aspects in both my professional and personal lives.

I must confess that when I was originally approached to consider becoming a coachee, I viewed it with Luddite apprehension! However, I am delighted to say that those apprehensions were totally misplaced. Estelle has just the right personality mix to deal with whatever mood she finds me in and the ability to approach any topic with the requisite empathy, enthusiasm and professionalism.

We have worked over the past 18 months on changing my role as M.D. from complete immersion within the business to working on the business, developing strategy, leadership, time management and coaching skills.

Coaching has benefited both myself and the business by enabling me to step back off the "treadmill", review operations and plan ahead more effectively. Estelle has a diligence and drive, coupled with a mischievous sense of humour, which makes working with her stimulating, rewarding and fun and, most importantly, effective.

I can thoroughly recommend her enterprise to anyone who wishes to engage a professional who can take an objective, realistic, and down to earth approach to enable them to appraise themselves and their business.

Alan Jones, Managing Director, AJ Floorcraft

You are such a brilliant coach your sense of fun and humour made the whole process really enjoyable.
