I have been receiving coaching from Virginia in one form or another for over 20 years and it continues to this day. Navigating through the myriad of life’s challenges both professionally and personally has been made much more meaningful because of the additional perspective that Virginia had added.
I am very specific when I say the word ‘meaningful’. This does not mean easier. In fact sometimes having a person face a mirror back at you is extremely difficult to look at.
However, Virginia’s special talents is to not only look at a situation from many perspectives but to also do this in a gentle, supportive and encouraging way. As a result, you are gradually able to see the meaning in life’s lessons and work through each of the challenges to learn and to become a better leader of self and then team – a journey which continues to this day.
I have spent most of my career working in a male-dominated industry in the corporate sector. This has brought its own special challenges and many disappointments. At no time has Virginia allowed me to settle into ‘comfort’. She continues to gently challenge me to push on to the next hurdle, with my confidence growing all the time. I am so glad I have had Virginia to walk with me through my life’s journey.
