Testimonials

“I have known Jacqui Gleeson for several years. She has been providing me with regular coaching sessions throughout my senior career over the years. Her insight and ability to ask the right questions and not shying away from asking tough questions has always been of great asset and assistance in my decision making process and in the development of my professional career. Jacqui is trustworthy and lives by the highest standard of integrity. I would not hesitate to recommend Jacqui to anyone looking for a trusted and experienced coach to help personal development.”

Patrick Razavet

From my experience, Jacqui genuinely wants her clients to truly achieve their potential, no matter what that looks like. With Jacqui’s help, I’ve analysed where I truly want to take my career. Furthermore, she provided creative, practical advice on how and where I might apply my skills beyond my own conventional thinking. With Jacqui’s 1-2-1 mentoring I’m certainly more confident in my true abilities and the direction I want to take them, building up my core competencies and therefore turning the conversation into a positive one: “how I can build on those skills” rather than “how much time must I spend working on all my perceived weaknesses”. We focused on areas for personal development with the view of building on what I’m actually quite good at!

I have been very fortunate to work with Jacqui as my coach during 2010. Jacqui has a gentle way about her, often challenging yet gentle. She allowed me the opportunity to take a good look at what is really important to me and how I was going to achieve it. I appreciate the way she supported me and encouraged me; she is an excellent listener with the incredible ability to provide positive feedback. She is open, honest and above all very professional. With her support I have developed an action plan which gives me direction for both my professional and personal life. Her sessions are exciting, funny and very thought provoking. I continue to have monthly sessions with Jacqui which I really look forward too and I would recommend her to anyone who need to refocus.

Jacqui has been there from the moment I decided I wanted to start up my own Fashion label after I had Finished my degree. She helped me develop my ‘plan of attack’ when it came to moving forward with contacting a mentor within the fashion industry and helping me contact possible boutiques etc. for stocking my clothes. Jacqui is always on the end of the phone if I need advice or help with contacts or how to go about finding the contact I require. I keep her regularly updated with my progress and if there are any suggestions she has with progressing in the right direction she always lets me know. A lovely person who is brilliant at her job!

Having worked with Jacqui many years ago I was delighted to find that she is using her raft of talents and is also now a life coach. 7 years ago my life took a major change of direction and I went from having the security of the corporate world to setting up my own marketing consultancy. As the sole director I stand or fall by my decisions, so to have Jacqui to provide a level of sanity in the crazy and exciting world I now find myself in has proved to be a solid business decision. I would highly recommend anyone to have life coaching with Jacqui, its life coaching and so much more.
