I first met Valerie when she was facilitating a leadership course in my own organisation. During this time I decided to take on a more senior position. I used the opportunity to have some one-to-one coaching with Valerie, and found it to be very effective, and instrumental in my promotion success. Valerie is an highly skilled coach, and she has provided me with some important insights and some useful tools. I know that what I have learnt in my time with Valerie will continue to be essential to me as I continue in my leadership role.

Coaching
We value Valerie Fawcett’s Listening and Coaching Skills course because it presents both topics in a way and at a level that is well suited to two groups who have benefited from working together...The link between listening and coaching skills helps participants to reflect on how best to listen, and then to decide what sort of practical encouragement or information they can offer without giving advice that may be unhelpful or that they not qualified to give. The fact that the two elements of listening and coaching skills can be offered in one day is particularly helpful... Rev. Dr. Andrew Gregory, Chaplain and Welfare Fellow, University College, Oxford
