Client Experience

Needs Identification

Should you choose to work with me we will invest time identifying your needs, clarifying your expectations and agreeing on the outcomes you expect from our partnership. The specific behavioural change you want to achieve for yourself or your team, will lie at the heart of the agreement between us. Needs identification can take different forms from self-relflection to 360 degree interviews, to assessments, to customer surveys. At the heart of the needs analysis whether personal or professional, is a set of appreciative questions to help you think through what specific outcomes you want to achieve from our time together.

Getting to Know You

The first step in us working together will be time focused on ‘getting to know’ you, your team or organisation. This helps me as your Coach or Trainer, understand the context for your behavioural change and gives me a real-time understanding of the challenges you may be dealing with in achieving the kinds of outcomes you have identified. In ‘getting to know’ you, I try very hard to get to as deep a personal level as possible. Whether we are working one-on-one or in a group, I always try to get to know each person as an individual and tailor the experience personally.

In the words of one of my wonderful clients:

“You make a great effort to get to know your clients and demonstrate a genuine interest in their progress and well being.”
Tracey Graham Regional Technical Escalation Manager, VMWare

Contracting for Agreement

Every client will fully understand the agreement contract between us, whether that is one-on-one or involving a number of people or team. Coaching Clients (and their Sponsors where applicable) sign an Agreement which includes the specific wording on the behavioural change outcomes, what they can expect from the experience, the Terms and Conditions as well as guarantees on confidentiality and data protection.

“To be kind is more important than to be right. Many times what people need is not a brilliant mind that speaks but a special heart that listens”

“Anne Marie supported me when I was at a cross roads following redundancy after 14 years of service to one company. She worked with me to identify my key strengths and rebuild some of the confidence I had lost in my own abilities. Anne Marie was careful that any considerations suggested in terms of developing my next career were taken into context with my life circumstances. Anne Marie was further instrumental in reviewing my résumé to ensure I presented my skills and interests in the best possible manner. Her method of coaching is personal and direct but thankfully devoid of any spin. She takes the time to understand her client’s requirements and life ambitions before responding with pertinent outcomes. I would highly recommend Anne Marie as a Coach and Trainer in these important areas for life and work. It was a pleasure to work with Anne Marie and I retain her contact details because life is full of change and is an on-going project.”
Johnerick Leach Senior Project Manager, Stryker

‘I just wanted to let you know that I found your module on ‘Leadership and Management’ really interesting.  Your style and delivery was fantastic and helped keep me engaged throughout. So much interesting content, which I am still reflecting on.    Your balance of slides and breakout sessions were really good as I think the key to learning is the breakout sessions and coming back to discuss as a wider group. You also have a lovely manner which makes it easier for the people who don’t like speaking up  to bring their voice, so thank you for that’.
