In their words
What it’s like to work with me, what changes, and what stays with you.
What’s it like?
“Ali is warm, structured and suitably challenging as a coach. She creates a space that feels supportive and safe, while still asking the questions that help get underneath your first answer.”
“Ali has an incredible ability to ask the questions that help you think differently. Rather than providing answers, she creates the space for reflection, helping you build confidence, recognise your strengths and take ownership of your career journey.”
“I’m usually someone who would show up to something like that and go... ‘right, cut out the fluff please - how do we get me the job I want tomorrow?!’ But her coaching journey spends time getting to understand more about who I actually am and the things I value most at work.”
“I've had an absolute ball working with you. Obviously we did some important stuff as well, but yeah, it was fun along the way.”
What changes?
“I’ve come out the other end really pleased that I’ve kind of gone through that journey and with a different view of the job I’m in, what I’m capable of, what I can do next, and sort of energy and passion for what I’m going to do next.”
“Our coaching conversations have helped me gain clarity, explore new possibilities and back myself when opportunities arose.”
“Doing it has given me a whole new sense of confidence and perspective.”
“I wasn’t able to clearly articulate what I was confident at initially, whereas I do feel that now.”
What sticks?
“All of which I take with me for the rest of my career and beyond. Rob 2.0.”
“Even outside of our sessions, I often find myself thinking, ‘What would Ali ask?’ — a mindset that has helped me rationalise and navigate many thought processes with greater clarity.”
“Very rarely does something stick. It’s a really nice in-the-moment thing or on that day or on that course. But those two things [the confidence anchors and future self visualisation] just won’t go away. They’ve hardwired me or something.”
“[The High Five test gave me] realisations that were impactful. Because some of them were things that there were kind of an undercurrent that you were kind of aware were there, but you didn't really give it any notice.”
