Please note, we are always happy to supply specific references should you require them.

SME’s and Business Owners:

"Stephanie has helped me to help myself. Objective and challenging, and where necessary forceful, pushing me to question my motives and the reasons behind actions. Insightful and non-judgmental she provides an excellent sounding board to make better business & life decisions.” Stephanie Horton, MD, River Canal Rescue

"Since our first meeting we have secured our current clients and increased the business by approx 30% - I can only attribute this success to my coaching. 
It has been the single most beneficial course of action I have taken for the business.” CG, Proprietor, 4Point Financial Services Ltd

“My sessions with Stephanie have allowed me to reflect and plan in a more rigorous way than I have historically been able to achieve and I am clear about how I need to take the business forward. Stephanie provides an exceptional combination of energy, support and challenge in our coaching sessions. This combined with her extensive business experience means she has been a critical part of the transition process in my business.” Kate Daniels, Managing Director, H & D Consulting

"Stephanie helped me to analyse every aspect of the business so that it would operate more efficiently. I have seen a significant increase in sales. Also, with Stephanie's support, I recently launched an e-commerce website which I run in conjunction with the Holywood boutique. I would not hesitate to contact Stephanie again, should I choose to develop the business further. I would recommend her to anyone who wishes to expand or improve their business in any way.” Fiona Wills, Proprietor, Cinderella's Slipper

Corporate and Senior Executives:

“Stephanie's impact has been immediate and far-reaching. She has taken a couple of high performers up a few gears - making them understand why they operate the way that they do and making them understand how to improve their own performance. Her ability to keep things simple and deliver high impact coaching has turned her into an integral part of our teams' ongoing success.” Denis Jackson, MD, Citigroup

“My relationship with Stephanie was very engaging. Stephanie took the time to listen and diagnose with me the root cause of my issues. She flexed her style. She demonstrated genuine interest and quickly established herself as a professional – and by doing this I felt able to trust her. The changes that I have made have unquestionably improved my performance. The coaching helped me to rebuild trust with the organisation and recognise my own capabilities and strengths. As a result I have taken on a leadership role and delivered a significant change programme successfully in the past 6 months.” Jayne Hannan, NUL, Aviva

“All our objectives were met. Pay-off started showing in the early stages of the coaching project. Stephanie Greasley is particularly clever at picking up unspoken messages, facilitating her reading of the situation and ultimately her acceptance by the management team. I would recommend Steph as an executive coach without hesitation.” Mark van Muylem, Finance Director, Scansource Europe

Coach Training:

“I thought that I would give you some feedback on the 2 day course. I’ve got to say that it is the best course that I have ever attended, the ideas are all simple but brilliant and I am so looking forward to implementing as many as I can. The standard of the training was second to none. You were professional, very knowledgeable, funny and above all extremely inspirational. You kept our attention so well that the time just flew by. I know from my colleagues that we all felt exactly the same and hope that we can have you as our trainer for the follow up sessions.  I look forward to working with you again.”  Anne Broom, Relationship Manager, Barclays

“I just wanted to pass my thanks to Steph Greasley for an excellent workshop - my team thoroughly enjoyed the experience, felt that Steph was superb in her delivery and bringing the ideas to life, and even the more critical members of my team have committed to exploring the concepts - a real success!"  Justin Moy, Area Manager, Barclays

"It was an absolute pleasure to meet with you this week and I have enjoyed the course and taken many good ideas away with me.  I found your delivery style very easy to follow and admire your handling of some of the more challenging delegates - a trait that I would love to emulate; perhaps you can share that with me another time.  With fond regards and thanks once again."  Jan, Client manager, Barclays

 

What Steph says…

“My strongest belief is in people’s innate ability, their almost infinite capacity to achieve both in business and their personal life. Coaching, coupled with advanced NLP techniques can do more to transform business than almost any other factor in the 21st century.”
