My coaching style is calm, thoughtful and authentic. Clients view me as a trusted partner.
Working together is safe and confidential, although it may not always be comfortable. I sensitively blend challenge and support to create a transformative space that enables learning, clarity and insight.
Our conversations will be natural and free-flowing and I may include a variety of different approaches, depending on how we have agreed to work together and what is emerging during the session.
Here is what previous coachees and colleagues have said about my style:
As a coach, Harriet’s strengths are building trust and credibility fast, which creates instant value from the coaching relationship. What I appreciate about Harriet when she coaches is that she actively listens, uses a variety of techniques relevant to the challenge and she notices themes and patterns. What I enjoy about working with her is that she responds to preferences in terms of degree of support or challenge the client is looking for in a given context. As a coach she brings humanity, depth and upmost professionalism, she is an outstanding coach and I do not hesitate to recommend her.
Global Talent Business Leader, Pharmaceuticals
Harriet has been an excellent guide in my professional development. She is astute and insightful, offering light for those blindspots and patiently working through things with me. As a result, I’ve made lasting change in my effectiveness as a leader and manager.
HR Director, Environmental Charity
Harriet is a consummate professional and coaches powerfully with head, heart and guts. She is a highly respectful and intuitive coach in team settings as well as one-to-one.
Executive Business Coach and Therapist
Harriet brings calmness to her coaching and creates a trustful relationship that ensure her clients are really putting themselves into each session and get the most in return. When I asked my colleagues what was the most developmental initiative in the year then these coaching sessions are ranked at the top level. Especially worth mentioning is that in our global work she has to bring a high sense of cultural diversity to each conversation as she enables talents from Asia to US, Europe to Middle East to become the best person they can be.
Development Manager, Pharmaceuticals
It was a pleasure (and a blessing) to meet Harriet at a time in my life when I had important decisions to take. She helped me to understand what I really wanted and pave the way to get there, session after session. Her strengths are her (i) attitude: understanding and making an Italian feeling fully understood is not an easy task, and (ii) flexibility: she helped me in taking career and life-changing decisions but we also touched on various personal topics (those little secrets you tend not to tell anyone). When she coaches, I appreciate how she guides to find your answers through her questioning and her honesty.
Director, Leverage Finance – Private Equity
Harriet has exceptional presence as a coach and maintains this capacity, connecting with individuals and groups irrespective of numbers. She is always attentive and notices the fine detail of how people are, and this is a vital skill to make the most significant coaching interventions. She is always deeply authentic and willing to share back without judgment what she experiences. ‘Speaking the unspoken’ is one of the greatest skills of a coach, and Harriet demonstrates this ability repeatedly and readily.
ICF Master Certified Coach
My team and I have been working with Harriet in order to bring the team closer together. As a coach her strengths lie in developing people and teams further around empathy and a joint alliance for individual team members. What I enjoyed about working with Harriet is that she’s interested in people, what motivates and aligns them, and brings them all together so that our journeys were much more unified and synchronised. Harriet has brought a deeper and more meaningful dimension to our offsite coaching event, and allowed the team to flourish as individuals pursuing a single goal.
