Wednesday, August 19, 2009 - Words to describe Hilary's Coaching

I have worked with Hilary Lochhead for the last 4 months. I have been successful in my role as a Senior Manager, but always had those "few things" that plagued me my entire career. Hilary helped me not only identify the issues, but set a strategy to change some old habits that were keeping me from moving forward. I feel more in control of my own future, I am accomplishing more, balancing my priorities, communicating more effectively, and I have more time to focus on the development of my direct reports. My results are improving and Hilary has been an integral part of that process.

I found her perspectives thoughtful and insightful, and her communication style was balanced with candor and professionalism. Hilary's practical analysis and sound advice helped me embrace a new approach within our team that encourages clear focus, innovation and leadership.

I found Hilary Lochhead's mentoring to be of great use to me in my personal and professional life.  The topics we discussed and analyzed helped me to focus on what needed to be learned, done and valued and what needed to be stopped!  It has re-invigorated me to tackle tasks and problems with a much bigger and better toolbox of skills.

"Hilary, just wanted to thank you for the your presentation last Thursday on Transitions. Transitions can indeed be trying times as we all know. Most of us did not go to for help when they happened.

You are providing a very valuable service for folk who are going through transition. A helping hand is certainly an excellent thing. Keep up the good work - things are going to get very tough for all of us during the next year or two!!!"
