“I came into the coaching feeling stuck, overwhelmed and unsatisfied. I'm leaving feeling on top of things, happier in myself, and more focused on excelling at the things that matter most.” Alex Beard, Teach for All

“I loved it. Alexandra has been fabulous at managing the balance between pushing me out of my comfort zone of beliefs and behaviours and supporting me on the journey. It’s been a great experience which has helped me to unravel a significant number of knots I have tied myself in. It has been powerful to address barriers and stresses with a focus on body, emotions (and language) rather than just thinking, talking and analysis." Astrid Walker Bourne, Director, NGO

“Even in an entirely virtual meeting environment, Alexandra was able to build rapport, connection and understanding with me very quickly, and I found our sessions immediately useful from day one. I ended each coaching session feeling lightness and clarity, and with new resources, tools and ideas to take into my life and work in ways that I have found really helpful ever since. I would highly recommend Alexandra to any friend or colleague, near or far, who is looking for an experienced and skilled coach to support their ongoing growth and development in work and life.” Edna Novak, Head of Asia Pacific, Teach for All

“Alexandra coached me on personal development and leadership. Starting with very set self-opinions and ways of operating, Alexandra helped me develop a completely new perception in terms of how I approach tasks and deal with people. I came away from each and every session with something new and valuable to work on and improve.” Bernard Mulkerrins, Actuary & Head of Product Development, Generali Worldwide

“The value of understanding other cultures in a business context cannot be underestimated. Alexandra’s tuition and guidance has helped our team understand as much about our values and drivers as those of our foreign colleagues.” Anne O’Donnell, TechGroup Europe

“Having coaching sessions with Alexandra made me keenly aware of the interplay between the different parts of myself and how that impacts who I am in both my work and personal life. It re-opened some rusty routes and lessons I had already come across in the past but helped me ‘know’ them for the first time. It gave me the tools to increase my adaptive resilience and to relish in the aim of becoming a leader embodying “a clear mind, warm heart and strong presence”. I’m now embedding coaching across my management team as it works with the individual in such transformational ways that it ripples across the organisation right across to the people whose lives as a charity we wish to change." Debbie Geraghty, Executive Director, PMZ

“Experienced and excellent presenter with a breadth of knowledge. Certainly different (in a good way) from your usual management courses. Informative and enjoyable.” Gerry O’Doherty, Business Transformation Manager, Generali International

“La experiencia de coaching con Alexandra ha sido un aprendizaje sobre mi potencial y mis limitaciones separando el ámbito personal de lo profesional al tiempo que generando las conexiones entre estos dos ámbitos. La técnica de mindfulness aplicada por Alexandra me ha permitido comprender mejor la importancia del lenguaje corporal y de técnicas para controlar el estrés.” Laura Señán Cagiao, Fundación Avina

“Through our time together I gained more awareness and understanding of areas of my thinking and behaviour, and their effect on outcomes, than any course or number of courses are ever likely to give me. I had moments of enlightenment from exploring items I had previously cast aside as irrelevant, such is Alexandra’s astuteness and ability to pick out nuggets to explore from a mass of information. It’s a journey, it’s hard work if you do it right and you have to want to do it. But if you do, then I can’t recommend Alexandra strongly enough to be your travel buddy.” F. Sexton, Founder, IT Industry

“Mon expérience de coaching m'a vraiment permis de mesurer qu'au delà des compétences, les dimensions psychologiques sont très importantes dans la gestion d'équipe. Elle m'a permis d'assumer mes responsabilités de leader en toute sérénité - et beaucoup moins de stress.” Aby Sarr, Directrice, USE

"The first time I heard about coaching or leadership development was when I got this fellowship opportunity from the Global Greengrants Fund to take a coaching program. I was wondering what it was all about, especially taking into consideration that it was going to be done from a distance. My first session cleared a lot of doubts as I discovered a very great coach, putting me at the centre of my very development, I talked about my problems and she supported me in finding solutions in a very friendly manner. As the program went on I looked forward to every appointment. I now listen more to my body and this helps me to be more effective." Samuel Nnah Ndobe, Agro-Engineering Consultant, Cameroon

"Alexandra exudes a feeling of being grounded and calm, and inspired me to emulate her.

Head of Business Unit, Guernsey

“I have worked with Alexandra in her capacity as a cross-cultural corporate facilitator.

I recommend her work to anybody who is inquisitive and willing to step out of their comfort zone and embrace their learning, with fun, curiosity and determination.” Selma Harrington, President, Architects’ Council of Europe

"When I started my coaching journey with Alexandra, I hoped it might provide me with a few useful insights into things I might change to make me more effective as a senior leader. I truly underestimated the impact that being coached by Alexandra would have. Alexandra’s approach has provided me with a deep understanding of who I am in different situations in my work and personal life and how I can use that understanding to be the best version of myself for the context. Alexandra’s great skill has been her ability to bring together my immediate reality with the most useful theory to enable me to see my day-to-day interactions from a totally different perspective and that insight has improved my professional relationships and overall effectiveness. I would unreservedly recommend Alexandra as a highly-skilled, challenging and at the same time empathetic and warm coach." Mark Lawrie, CEO, StreetGames
