"Throughout this Programme, I found Olwyn to be extremely professional and it is clear that she is a very capable coach. She is very experienced, not only as a trainer and coach, but also commercially. Her strong commercial awareness has allowed me to use her as a sounding board for a number of ideas and situations, and I have benefited significantly from this coaching experience. I would have no hesitation in recommending Olwyn as a leadership coach to others in senior executive positions."
Simon Jarman, Managing Director |
"Working with Olwyn has allowed us an opportunity to look at how we operate as a team, acknowledge our differences and strengths and explore how we work with and capitalise on this diversity. In providing a framework and space to think and reflect, Olwyn has skillfully enabled the team to clarify our values and priorities and concentrate our energies and skills on turning our vision into reality."

"Having never used a coach before, I was something of a skeptic. I am now a converted believer in the value someone with the experience and skills that Olwyn has, will help you realize the vision I have for my business."
Adrian Kelly, Entrepreneur |
“Just when I didn’t know what to do next, Olwyn lifted me and my business to a whole new level of success. In twelve months, I have grown the business by 310%, feel more assured in my own abilities and believe that I can achieve so much more now with this new level of confidence and momentum."
Graham, Entrepreneur |
"I have been working with Olwyn as my business coach since May 2003. When Olwyn first met me, I found it hard to see the wood from the trees". She encouraged me to look beyond the day-to-day tasks and to develop a much more strategic perspective to my business. I would highly recommend Olwyn to others looking for a positive, empathetic and yet experienced business coach. She brings considerable experience around the commercial realities of business life yet brings a light touch to tackling change."

"I cannot recall, from all the years of hosting training courses and Insets, a day that went down as well as your presentation on Friday.

We are a richer community as a result of your efforts."
