“Following the Interview Coaching I successfully attended 5 interviews with 2 companies and was offered both jobs!! I truly feel that the interview preparation I undertook with you was the defining factor as I approached each session thoroughly prepared and with anticipation. I know that the prep I did with you set me apart and really was the difference. Thank you again money extremely well spent as far as myself and my family are concerned. Brilliant.”

“I contacted Denise at a time when I needed a fresh approach to my career path. By creating a tailor-made package, I was able to work with Denise in an open and relaxed environment, gaining a variety of options that I proceeded to explore and get excited by. I look forward to my continuing work with her and gaining that confidence and positive outlook that I need to progress in my career”.
Meg Reid
“Doing the Highlands with you is definitely one of the best choices I have ever made. I think everyone should do it, young and old, just for the sake of self-understanding and acceptance. Same goes for Myers-Briggs”.

“The effort you’ve put in on my part, with the support you offered, and continue to offer, after all our scheduled meetings had taken place, has been above and beyond my expectations. I doubt I could have found such professional and caring guidance or such a comprehensive approach, in that you go way beyond what is available elsewhere, and I did a good deal of research before choosing you”.
George

Unclear graduate to an Advertising graduate scheme
“Throughout my time in your graduate scheme I have learned more about myself with each passing week, and with each meeting my confidence in my own worth has grown. The personality tests you assigned me made me realise that elements of my character that I thought were flaws are, in fact, highly desirable qualities in the right place of work … I cannot thank you enough for introducing me to the methods by which I have come to be here. Not only were our sessions educational and useful, but they were also tremendous fun.”

Temp to Drug Safety Officer
“Your professional experience and qualifications made a big difference in my search for a coach, but from the sessions I was pleased to learn that you had made a major career change and had real experience of the challenges faced in doing so – I felt that I was working with someone who had not simply changed career to become an “instant” coach, as was the case for many coaches that I researched”.

“I thought the Highlands Ability Battery was amazing. It tested just about everything there was to test, and it is impossible to be happy in your career until you understand yourself. This brought out aspects of myself that I had ignored, were latent or were well known to me, making me laugh when I recognised myself. Well worth it and the whole programme of careers analysis really gets you thinking”.
