“For years I was unhappy in my profession but was never brave enough to speak to someone like Denise. When I finally did, it was such an eye-opener and enabled me to realise that staying in my job would have only meant continuing to be unhappy with what I was doing. I found the Highlands Assessment particularly useful since it gave me the answers to my two main questions: (1) Am I suitable for the job I am currently in? and (2) Am I suitable for the new job I am proposing to take up? With Denise’s help, I have now decided to quit my old job and start my 3-year training to become a golf coach… and, whilst this will result in a temporary financial set-back, I am confident that this will lead to me being happier with life in the long-run.”

“I would highly recommend Denise’s Interview Coaching sessions. I decided to try them after making it to interview stage but no further on several occasions. Denise was able to quickly pinpoint where I was going wrong and provide me with the confidence and skills to break the pattern. I put these into practice at my next interview and was offered the Job!”

“Thanks for your help and discussion following on from doing the Highlands and Myers Briggs tests the other week. I’m pleased to say that I have recently been successful in getting been successful in getting another physiotherapy job, and am sure that some of the stuff we did helped my confidence and presentation of myself at interview. It also helped my decision making regarding the job itself, and my options, and I am happier that I am going into a job that suits me, and that I will find challenging and stimulating. However, I have decided only to do half the working week in physio, and to pursue some other options in the rest of the week. I am hoping to enrol on a garden design course, something I was toying with before, but which I have more confidence with pursuing following the work done with you. It may or may not turn into a career, but even if it turns out to be something I do for myself, and just engages my brain in a different way it’ll be a good thing.”
