We like working with Sharpstone Skinner because the delivery is clear, precise and concise, and thankfully it is jargon free. Our students respond well to enthusiastic, confident and passionate people and Sharpstone Skinner embody all those qualities.

They take the time to get to know us properly, the sessions are a good mixture of the practical and implementable (with the odd helpful theoretical input) and because it tends to be down to earth, fun but challenging. They’re good at what they do and have helped us get better as an organisation.

Staff are more engaged and morale is consistently higher across all areas of the business.

We have worked with Sharpstone Skinner over many years and most recently have been supported by Helena in coaching THINK’s leadership team and running a number of sessions with our wider team, including approaches to new business. Her ability to navigate teams through difficult conversations and her infectious enthusiasm has made an enormous impact on the team’s understanding of how to get the best out of one another and how to reframe our thinking on aspects of our work.

Michelle Chambers, Chief Executive THINK

Helena’s transformative guidance has helped us to develop more unity within our Development Leadership Team, fostering a mentality that is focused and energised. Her excellent work has not only brought us closer together but also elevated our collective spirit enabling us to navigate challenges with even more strength and collaboration.

I approached Helena to support the Senior Leadership Team to help us work as effectively as possible, at a time when there had been some change in personnel and also when the team was overseeing a strategy review. We have worked with Helena for over a year, and as a result are working much more effectively in particular through the Insights Discovery Tool.

As well as getting the best out of the team, Helena’s executive coaching has helped us to develop new approaches to support the organisation to address cultural change and bring in changes in working practice. Helena is very skilled and adept in understanding the culture of the organisation, cutting through to where the problems lie but without making people feel uncomfortable. It has been a pleasure working with her.
