Clare is described as disarmingly direct, extremely insightful and who has a sincere curiosity in others which enables her to build strong relationships with her clients to deliver the outcomes needed.
Clare has the ability to cut though the day to day operational issues maintaining focus on the ‘big picture’. ‘Clare is someone you can rely upon for her quality of thought, drive and determination and her sense of humour’
Clare was my one on one coach and from the first meeting, she was very compassionate and showed great empathy by listening to what I had to say. From this first meeting she allowed me to determine what I wanted to get out of our sessions, and helped plan a path forward. She had a unique ability to be able to draw out information that I had never even thought of or considered, but also let me get there myself. What I appreciated is she let me go at my own pace, but also had the knowledge and experience to know when to progress our session along so I didn’t get bogged down in one particular area. She gave me some great teachings and resources too which I use enthusiastically today – both in my personal and professional life.
