testimonials

“I have never done anything like coaching before and was surprised at how easy it was to speak openly with you about parts of my life that I would like to change or improve on. After just 3 sessions topics that I before found quite overwhelming seem manageable and I feel positive & excited to try new ways I can work on & improve these areas of my work & home life.”

“It was great to see things from a different perspective, and I felt very relaxed about sharing my thoughts. It helped me think more about what it takes to be a good manager.”

“I believe they have played a role in allowing me to have a perspective shift, which will bode well in the future. I also believe the conversations were constructive and provided me the opportunity to have candid conversations. I would certainly recommend the sessions.”

“Pamela's sessions have been instrumental in strategically upskilling my team in the understanding and importance of empathy in business. We will continue to use Pamela’s skills as a coach for all levels of our workforce.”

Choosing the appropriate questions, asked at the right time Pamela is adept at assisting clients to make connections, join the dots and see paths forward to make the progress they are looking for.

Pamela has had a lifetime of learning the skill of deep listening. through her work as a documentary director she has perfected her expertise and gut instincts to truly hear what clients are saying. During the first “discovery” session she aims to work with the client to identify underlying hurdles or unspoken issues which may hinder the way forward.

Pamela adapts subsequent sessions to each individual client. Alongside her careful questions and guidance she sometime uses poetry as a means to unlock self-knowledge. Everyone is different, which is one of the joys and privileges of coaching. But with her background in the often high intensity world of filmmaking she is able to adapt her model speedily and successfully to suit her different clients.
