Jackie Demetriou

With an interesting and positive approach, Jackie has been a great coach who has accompanied me over a few months, as I was transitioning between jobs. I have appreciated her good listening skills and thought-provoking questions. Professional employees should benefit from coaching occasionally: it helps to reconsider some of our habits and practices and make conscious decisions to review them where needed. I strongly encourage those who can, to have coaching with Jackie.

What I appreciated most in my coaching sessions with Jackie were here Thought-Provoking Questions, her Active Listening and the way she was able to adapt to my needs and the respective situation. Time very well spend.

Jackie provide excellent guidance through productive conversations. She made me feel safe to explore different options throughout our sessions together. Her professionalism is central to what she does. I cannot recommend her enough.

Excellent guidance

I partnered with Jackie under a school pilot project for coaching as a Curriculum Coordinator. Our sessions helped me to think aloud my interactions with colleagues as well as exploring more concrete avenues of how to build Team Capacity in real scenarios of difference of perspectives and possible conflicts. The unpacking of the sessions really helped frame clear and tangible actions around my role. Her empathetic stand and warmth added positive value to the interaction.

I was coached by Jackie as part of the Women’s Leadership Academy Programme (Mauritius). It was really a transformative coaching experience. Jackie was very approachable and asked insightful questions that made me think more deeply about my improvement areas. On top of her coaching skills, she has got authentic human values that establish true connection. She instilled an atmosphere of trust and openness which are essential for constructive feedback. The coaching sessions were highly productive, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to enhance their leadership or life skills. Thank you Jackie for the constructive and pleasant coaching chats.

Jackie was my coach a few months back and the experience has been amazing. Each session has been an eye-opener on the unnecessary stress I was putting on myself which affected both my professional and personal life. She helped me find ways to keep a clear mind by using strategies tailored for me. Her thoughtful questions were so pertinent and made me think deeply about matters from different perspectives. Jackie gave me the space and time to express myself freely without any judgment which allowed me to dig deep and voice out things that I didn't even realise affected me so much. I am now able to manage my stress and workload better and eventually keep a clearer mind. These sessions made a big difference and I highly recommend Jackie as a professional and caring life-coach.

It was a pleasure to have worked with coach Jackie a few months ago. Not only did she push me to step outside my comfort zone, but she also provided a safe and open environment for me to explore my goals. Her support has been truly invaluable. Moreover, her insightful questions and feedback have allowed me to reflect on my leadership ways I hadn't before. The discussions we have had have lead to my personal and professional growth. I would highly recommend Jackie to anyone looking to improve their practice or grow as as leader.

Jackie was my Coach at a very sensitive point of my journey - I was at a crossroad in my professional and personal life. She helped me reflect and think and come to an outcome I was very satisfied with. I really appreciated the fact that Jackie does not delve into personal issues when dealing with a problem. She equips you to have a wider perspective of things. This happened for me when she encouraged me to adopt the position of every other perspective that could impact my decision. This allowed me to be less subjective when considering matters. I also liked the fact that she is almost scientific in her approach - I was given concrete tools for reflections and self-evaluation. These made me less sceptical of the whole process - often coaching is viewed initially as a haphazard kind of process. To me, it proved to be a very effective process which helped me see things clearer. Finally, I would like to emphasise on the personal attributes of Jackie - she is so kind, so empathetic that you are soon at ease to speak up. She does not seem to judge at all - something I was a bit afraid of initially. She remained neutral but still managed to make me feel valued, listened to and understood. Thank you a million, Jackie.
