Testimonials

"At a time of uncertainty in my career it was great to get some candid and positive feedback in a non-threatening environment. I found the tools and techniques to be spot-on, and very practical. It gave me lots of starting points and it boosted my confidence. At first I was apprehensive about the process, and I was not sure I could deliver on the list of points in the first session. However, during the process I began to feel it was not beyond me, and by the end I knew I could apply this material, and I wanted to know more. As a result of the direction the coach and I agreed on in our sessions I have become more strategic in my focus and this has ultimately enabled me to make a significant role change."

"My experience with Geraldene Callanan as an executive coach has been an outstanding investment of time that has yielded fantastic results. Rather than spending hours in management training sessions of questionable quality, I have found one to one coaching a far better value proposition as it targets individual goals, strengths and areas for improvement. Geraldene can take a massive volume of raw material and thoughts (gleaned from highly perceptive questioning) and distill this into a clear set of trends and behavioral issues within one session. Her experience and skill as a coach translates into invaluable feedback for both personal and professional development that is unobtainable from the biased viewpoint of an in-house manager or colleague. Coaching provides candid feedback and challenges you to set meaningful goals that help balance all aspects of your life. Geraldene has impeccable integrity, is highly professional and provides the tools to help you reap the rewards of executive coaching long after the formal sessions have concluded."

"I found Geraldene to be a refreshingly skilful practitioner. Her energy was focused on my professional needs, rather than a clinical paradigm. Geraldene's approach to coaching was directional, firm, candid, focused on positive behavioural outcomes, yet compassionate."
