|  | | “Helen is career/specialist coach providing services that help individuals/teams develop their soft skills. I have worked with Helen on two team building events in the last 18 months. On both occasions, Helen excelled in providing the right level of coaching. Helen's approach is pragmatic with real life examples provided. It has been a pleasure working with Helen and I have great pleasure in recommending her to those who may be looking to use her services.”
Dr. Anil Dhiri, Management and Change Consultant, Norgine

| | “Helen is insightful and a creative thinker, coming up with effective ideas to deal with most situations and help people move themselves forwards, whether in career or social situations. I can wholly recommend her as a coach.”
Sarah Chapman (no relation!), HR of PR, Dig for Fire
| | | “Helen consulted with me and a small team I led on how to bring about behaviour change; this led to delivery of new identity and values as part of our developing values-based culture. She introduced fresh creative thinking and ideas, helped us to face up to, tackle and move away from our traditional ways of trying to bring about culture & behaviour change (in the nicest, most supportive way possible) and provided me with individual coaching and contacts to navigate building support for the new identity and values. The bottom line is that change is now starting to be seen with identity and values we developed with Helen's help being endorsed, adopted & used at senior levels in our company across multiple business areas, promoting the behaviours we need. It will continue to be quite a journey towards implementation, but Helen's creative thinking and insights, flexibility in interactions, honesty and humour in dealing with challenging behaviours were highly impactful and were, I believe, the single factor that made the difference in delivering on this work. I would definitely like to work with Helen again myself and have no hesitation in strongly recommending her to others.”
Michelle Cotter, Director, GSK
| | | "Helen has a wonderful style that brings the best out in people. She has had great results with the coaching she has done for a significant number of people of all levels at Gilead, as well as team building events and training courses. I have no hesitation at recommending her.” Emma Walters, HR Director, Gilead | | | “Pelican worked with a team of managers on team skills / awareness and on change management coaching. They are supportive and able to provide flexible training to a group with a different range of prior experience where all in the group are involved and gain benefit.” Caroline Smith, Manager, Roche
| | | "You were both supportive and encouraging in helping me to stay with my goal of not over-committing myself. The consequence was that I was doing half the amount of work for the same money, which freed up time to get on with the book I was writing, have a social life and “stand and stare” occasionally. I commend you as a coach unreservedly.” David Buswell, Owner, The Financial Marketing Consultancy
| | | “Helen is nothing short of amazing! She immediately had me set solid objectives (though I originally thought they were impossible to address in the short amount of time I'd be meeting with her). By my last session I had either met full on or was well into moving forward with traction on each of them. Each session was invaluable and like dozens of lightbulbs going off (a year later I still refer to my session notes). Helen has unique skills, perspective and insights to anything I'd read or heard before. I began to see results immediately and started on a path of change that continues to this day. I had been feeling a little adrift, overwhelmed and lacking direction in my career path, but working with Helen was like the clouds lifting and clearing. Better yet, my manager noticed immediate results! It has been a year now and I have been promoted to Director and have just moved into a new field (just accepted a job offer within my company). Externally, I was just asked to take on the role of VP Communications and join the Board of Directors for a chapter of the National Charity League. I now manage my workload, feel more in control of how I allocate my time and energy, and am doing a better job at balancing personal and work life. I have much more joy in my life, personal and professional satisfaction and am even tackling that goal of improved physical fitness because I can now manage time for the gym! Forever indebted to Helen - she's wonderful and the biggest change agent I've had in my life. Thanks Helen!” Robbin Saffron, Director, GSK
| | | “Helen was an amazing resource to us in many different situations and I had the pleasure of working with her in the following areas just to name a few: 1:1 coaching for senior level management, team building and providing training and resilience coaching to employees. I am always confident in Helen's abilities. She is honest, creative and her work always produces excellent results. Helen is also has a great sense of humour, making her a pleasure to work with on a personal level.” Denise Parsonage, HR Manager, AVEVA
| | | “Helen is an inspirational coach, who in a completely professional, supportive and relaxed way probed and encouraged me to really understand what was important to me in certain phases of setting up my business. The clarity and focus she created with me and for me ensured that I achieved exactly what I wanted, with an incredible sense of excitement and satisfaction. I would, and have, highly recommend her.” Kate Adam, Director, Meredith Marketing
| | | “I was priviledged to have had Helen as my coach over a few months. Her insight, gentle yet probing questioning and her genuine curiosity and desire for me to achieve the results I wanted, were refreshing and very effective. I would not hesitate to recommend her services.” Sonia Gavira, Managing Director, ValueU | | |
“Helen is an intuitive and empathic coach who quickly makes you feel at ease. Her capacty to ask challenging questions with compassion is the key to gaining real and lasting change in your life. Helen is equally skilled in helping executives understand their professional capacities and leadership qualities, and will provide insight pivotal to your ongoing success. I would happily recommend Helen as an executive coach, life coach and expert facilitator.” Adam Farrell, UK Client Services Manager, Xenergie
| | | “I invited Helen to help bring together a group of individuals who formed a unit but not a team. As I had taken over as their manager, it was important to me, that they understood me as a manager and I gained their trust quickly. Through facilitation, Helen helped present me and gave the team an opportunity to ask any question they wanted. Over 2 days, the team began to gel and the fruits of that effort were observed within 2 - 3 months, when each member of the team through a survey stated they were happy to be in the role and ore importantly our customers saw the high quality results we were providing. I would have no hesitation in recommending Helen.”
Hasit Bakhda, IT Director, GSK |
