I just want to say thank you for the valuable input you have had in my life over the last couple of years.

As a leader of people in the electricity industry I am often challenged – where there are people there are challenges.

But as I have been learning, the issue, for the most part, is not out there somewhere, or with some other personality to blame, but with myself. You have a real gift in being able to locate what is most important… or where the real answers lay, hidden within. You are not afraid to ask the difficult or sometimes confronting question, but that is what a coach should be like.

With the conversations we’ve had, along with the “real life” assignments you have encouraged me with, I am feeling better equipped as a leader. I am not sweating the small stuff as much and focussing more on what is important now. I see others for the most part in a different light, not as part of the problem but as part of the solution. As I change, I am acutely aware that others around me are influenced for the better – higher productivity, more willing to be involved, happier workplace.

When I started working with Angela, I had just transitioned into a new role as School Principal. I knew the role would require me to operate differently to how I had previously so I was looking to Ange to help me develop my capacity to lead others effectively in this new environment.

I also had a whole new team and wanted to make sure that we were working as collaboratively and successfully as possible, to help our school be the best it can be. Angela was instrumental in helping our team navigate this transition period.

When you’re a leader, everyone is watching you. The way you respond, even very subtly, has an impact on your team. I think my team has seen a change in the way I approach issues with them. I’ve shown them a lot more trust, and that’s been good for both me and them.

They’re now replicating that with their employees. This benefit has been a direct result of my working with Angela. I can absolutely see a return on investment of time and money. I’d certainly recommend Angela’s coaching to my peers because it’s been so valuable.

A friend asked the other day, "How could you spend that much money with a coach?" And I
said, "Well, at first, it seemed like a lot of money, but from about month three, I thought, "How could I not?".
I have no doubt, without Angela's coaching, I wouldn't have been afforded the opportunities
in my role that I’ve got now. Before Angela, I would’ve said "I can't do it.".

When I was stuck in the transaction work I was beginning to think “maybe it’s time to move on?” but working with Angela has given me a different insight, more energy and more of a strategic focus on where I should be and what I should be doing in my leadership role.

The coaching with Angela has allowed me to refocus my effort into the leadership space and allowed the team to get on with delivering on their commitments. I've seen the team step up to the mark and take on the additional responsibility and they are more fulfilled as a result.

Instead of being reliant on me to make decisions for them, it's now about allowing them to make decisions and make mistakes as they progress. This has allowed for a
significant change for the team and myself.
