I have had the immense privilege of being coached by Jill. During our coaching relationship I have grown into a confident, authentic and impactful senior leader. Jill is an amazing coach and has enabled me to be a more effective corporate leader, staying true to my values whilst building my personal resilience and finding my authentic voice in times of conflict. I have been enabled to move on in my thinking, how I manage my feelings and how I see myself as a senior leader. Thanks to Jill I now have my own tool box of skills, knowledge and frameworks which has enabled me to be my best self at work and in my personal life. Jill is an inspirational, accomplished and excellent coach and her insightful coaching has made such a positive difference my performance, wellbeing and resilience. Thank you Jill.

27/01/2020Jill is an inspiring Coach Supervisor. She has supported me with the development of a cohort of developing coaches. The unanimous feedback from the group is that Jill has been highly supportive and engaging in her approach. Jill has positively impacted individual development through a balance of challenge, insight and encouragement, sharing relevant models and ideas about mindfulness, neuroscience and coaching. This has resulted in great enthusiasm and a desire to share these gems more widely amongst the group! I would highly recommend Jill as a Coach Supervisor and Facilitator.
18/02/2019I find Jill to be an exceptional role model, a coach with genuine warmth and empathy who balances compassion with practical tools and encouragement. I have known Jill for many years and have experienced her work as a tutor on coach training and as a coach supervisor. Jill’s coaching sessions are insightful and well informed by her wealth of knowledge and expertise in mindfulness, neuroscience and managing transitions and she appears effortlessly to be able to introduce relevant models and ideas at appropriate moments. I also really appreciate the follow up resources that she generously shares. Coaching with Jill always sparks clarity of thought and I come away from sessions with new perspectives and refreshed confidence in times of change. I whole heartedly recommend Jill as an Executive Coach, Mindfulness Teacher and Coach Supervisor. Nicola Rowe, Leadership Development Consultant and Coach
25/01/2019I attended Jill's Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction programme (aka the eight week MBSR), around two years ago and have participated in a number of retreats & practice days with Jill since; all of which I have found to be extremely beneficial in terms of my own personal practice, within my work as a Coach and also as a fledgling Mindfulness Teacher. Jill is highly professional in her approach and her teachings shine from within; she has immersed herself in the study and practice of Mindful Living and her knowledge is both inspiring and completely accessible. Jill is truly dedicated to helping others embody the practice of mindfulness in to their personal and professional lives. Weaving mindfulness practice in to my work and my life has been invaluable; the tools and techniques help me to remain calm and grounded when things get overwhelming, enable me to manage my self-critic and see my way through the irrational habit formed thinking patterns that do not serve me. I now get to pass this on to my clients and witness how simple mindset changes and a deeper understanding of yourself can become the catalyst for lasting change. Personally, now that I have this new insight, I feel much more aligned with my own values and life vision and I am connected to what helps me to thrive rather than just survive! I find Jill's style to be gentle, empathetic, motivating and wise. I would not hesitate in recommending her work to friends, colleagues and clients (which I already have!)

10/09/2018Jill has been my supervisor for several months in my career and executive coaching practice. She is extremely well qualified and knowledgeable about all things coaching including different theories and models. Her specialism is mindfulness. I find her to be hugely insightful and helpful to my ongoing learning. The sessions are well structured and organised and I always come away from them having gained enrichment into my own coaching practice and methods. Jill is wonderfully kind and generous and she always follows up the sessions with promised materials and additional information to support ongoing personal development and learning. She is encouraging and adds the feel good factor to the coaching supervision sessions we have had so far. I would not hesitate to recommend Jill as an excellent executive coach, mindfulness teacher and supervisor. Diana Dawson. Working Career
