Hilary Jeanes

Hilary offers sound advice and support in a timely manner, and knowing I have someone in my corner to discuss anything with makes me feel far more confident when facing challenges at work. We've discussed everything from time management to long-term goals, difficult conversations to interview preparation, and much more. She has read many a difficult email for me before I've sent it, which has been so helpful. Hilary is so experienced that any situation I discuss she has seen many times before and it has been a great help over the years. I also really value working with Hilary because it forces me to take stock of my career and make space for my development, especially when I'm busy and wouldn't usually make it a priority. If I have a meeting booked with Hilary then it means I have dedicated time pre-planned in my week for career development work, which is incredibly helpful in the longterm. I also really value having someone in my life to talk to about my career outside of my family and friends (although I've recommended Hilary to everyone so she's met many of them by now!). It means that I'm not 'dumping' work problems on my partner or friends, and I can work through the tricky things with Hilary's professional advice, which helps free up my leisure time. Overall, I love working with Hilary and highly recommend. H.J.

Hilary has been an excellent coach for the last 4 years of my financial services career. I had reached a point my career where I had struggled to move any higher. Hilary provided sound advice before even being taken on as a client in order to make plan for promotion. Hilary helped me address and overcome my imposter syndrome that was a serious hinderance to any further progress up the management ladder. She has been instrumental in my development of my management skills and helped me grow in a role that does not always come naturally to me. The materials, articles and continual support she provides are very insightful and extremely helpful in my continual professional development. Beyond the professional coaching she is a wonder person, very understanding and joy to work with. She has also helped me in a few very difficult personal issues that have tested my resolve. She has helped me work through the issues while making an action plan to deal with them. Without her coaching I would not be in the position I am on a personal and professional level. G. A.
