My new role is accountable for all aspects of the Australian and New Zealand businesses including P/L reporting to the Chairman. Given that my boss is based on the East Coast of the USA and I only see him face to face about once a year the role of the coach is particularly important to me.

Oona has helped me to be clear about my longer term goals and to hold me to account in achieving them. In addition she has allowed me to talk through situations as and when they have arisen at work. By allowing me to talk it through she helped me to find the answer in myself rather than give me the answer. She has helped to reenergise me when things have not been going so well and I could not see a way through. She has not shirked from giving me tough love when I needed it but I always felt I had a sympathetic hearing.” As the coaching has been done by phone over many time zones her excellent time management has been much appreciated.”

Through your help Hay Group Pacific has grown its revenue by 70% in 3 years when previously it had been static or declining. The team around me has grown in competence whilst its composition has changed over time. I personally have gained confidence in becoming an effective MD and I am now ready to take on a bigger challenge in the near future.
