Testimonial
I joined Allison's coaching a couple months ago with a little bit sceptical "what she can tell me" attitude, but she has been great in
enhancing part of me that I never thought I had and that shortly helped me to start influencing people around me, get visibility, presence and get more control over
my destiny. Allison's coaching came just-in-time for me as - without me knowing - I needed professional coaching to cross from managerial to director level and Allison
helped me a lot in that sense. Shortly we developed mutual trust and I found Allison always friendly,
highly professional, effective, very focused and an empathetic professional coach. She is using her light touches to make big impact. Highly recommended.

| About me |
| I am over 40, based in Hampshire with my husband and two children. As a child I believed I was
heading for a career in the RAF but with a twist of fate ended up in Financial Services! I’ve had a
varied career working mostly for Blue Chip organisations like Royal Insurance, before its merger,
and more recently Prudential UK PLC spanning the best part of 20 years. |
| Operational responsibility for a highly regulated product, I understand the complexity of balancing a
fiercely competitive future with the moral and legal obligations of the legacy business. I’ve been part
of senior teams designing, negotiating and leading successful cultural change initiatives. As a
process owner I successfully streamlined processes across multiple product, system and
geographical location, and tackled head on the cultural diversity, and resulting retraining and restructuring. |
| Whilst up to my neck in my Masters Degree, a friend convinced me to take a couple of days out for
an introduction to the world of coaching. Within 30 minutes of the course starting, I knew this was where
I was heading – I took the plunge and negotiated my way out of the organisation when I realised I
had filled my diary with coaching and not the Pension Strategy role I was carrying out…. The rest, as
they say, is history. |
