The best way to answer this question is to let some clients share their thoughts.

“I didn’t think that coaching was for me. I don’t usually do those kind of things. But what I learned and the understanding of how other people respond to the things I say and do was very helpful. I can see the different reactions I now get and my team are much more productive now and step up to take things off my plate.”

T.D., Operations Manager

“Kai’s influence on myself, as well as my team of around 60 knowledge workers, has been significant. Her considered, informative, open and questioning influence has allowed me to grow in my management capacity and has given me the confidence to step up to the next role. Her interactions, whether one on one or through organized workshops has given our division the leverage for change.

On a personal level, Kai has worked diligently with me to grow my managerial capability. Her considered questions allowed me to make changes to the way I interact with others whilst still maintaining what makes me successful. It allowed me to adapt my style to suit a specific situation, and think more broadly about how I may be perceived.”

R.O., Senior Operations Manager

“Kai has helped me considerably to understand how to manage my team more effectively and get the best out of them. It makes for a much less stressful time for me and I am very grateful for that.”

B.D., Technical Team leader

“I wanted to thank you for your support. I have found it invaluable to me as an individual but also for the business in supporting a developing CFO.

Key points for me have been as follows

–        as an advisor in terms of personal and professional development;

–        as a thought provoker to widen my own way of looking at situations;

–        as a provider of informal feedback; and

–        as a sounding board.

Finally, this has all been delivered in an enjoyable and safe environment, which allowed me to open up some of my most sensitive development areas with confidence.”

C.S., Chief Financial Officer

“Kai has the ability to connect quickly and get to the point. She assisted me with achieving my goal and in the process made me think of a whole lot of new ways of doing my job. My thinking has changed significantly and besides having reached the goal, I have now got a much improved approach to a great deal of other aspects of my life. A big thanks to you Kai for your time and guidance over the last 18 months. I couldn’t have progressed without your support and direction. “

C.D., General Manager

“Thank you so much for your support and positivity through my recent job upheaval. As a very mature and stable member of the workforce I was faced with having to re-apply for a job I thought I already had or face redundancy. My interview skills were rusty/non-existent. After the in-depth conversations I had with you, where we worked on what I needed to do, how I should approach the whole scenario and what mental attitude I needed to have, I was able to interview in a calm and positive frame of mind and was offered the job. It felt easy in retrospect but could have gone very wrong if I had not had your professional guidance in what was a high stress situation. Again, thank you for your professional guidance. You are amazing.”

P.H., Health Industry

“I was out of work due to an accident. I needed to find a new job fast, as I was not able to work in my old role at all anymore. Kai helped me to look at things differently and gave me the confidence to try something new. I moved from the workshop to the office, something I never thought I could do. I also learned a lot about how to approach problems and now I manage the team of the Lower North Island. She is very knowledgeable and she races cars; how could you go wrong?”
