“The coaching sessions with Extra Dimension encouraged me to address issues that I had been avoiding, particularly delegating to others. The sessions were enjoyable and stimulating, and Alan’s challenging style helped to reveal some valuable insights which have prompted a change in my thinking about some areas of my business”. |

“I met with Alan at a time when I had lost faith in my decision making ability. It can be very lonely running a business, especially if you are only accountable to yourself! Alan’s coaching allowed me to discuss the issues that were affecting me personally and regain some focus. It’s great to have a space where you can step out of your business and Alan facilitated this for me. I recommend Alan wholeheartedly!” |

“Extra Dimension has helped me to think differently about a wide variety of situations, including personal development, team management and a career change. The coaching sessions have made me more effective at resolving issues, as well as uncovering many new opportunities“. |

Extra Dimension has an excellent talent for developing people. They are very adept at spotting areas of potential within people and using solid coaching and mentoring skills can enable people to see the potential in themselves and understand what actions to take to realise this. They provide the right level of encouragement and challenge, which motivates people to continue developing themselves.I achieved fast track promotion to Director and then Senior Director. The coaching has helped by providing the challenge that I needed to step outside of the status quo, while helping me to plan and priorities in a considered fashion“. |

“The coaching has been very useful for me at a time when I’ve been at a crossroads in my career. It enabled me to take a positive approach to covering my boss’s role when she went on maternity leave, by understanding where I could use my strengths and where I needed help and development. (The role is a board level position, which I had had the opportunity to put myself forward for a few years back, but which I hadn’t felt I was ready to take on at that time).More recently the coaching has encouraged me to focus and build on the experience gained and to set my sights on senior roles within the organisation. It has given me the confidence to convince myself and others that I am ready for the challenge that a specific role would bring, and I was recently confirmed in this new role.”

“The coaching has been invaluable in helping me transition to a new and bigger role. In particular it has helped me to consider my own needs and development opportunities, including coping with a great deal of uncertainty in my career direction. I have been particularly impressed with the support given on my people management challenges.” |

“I now have a clear vision of where my business needs to go to enable me to achieve success. The coaching style is relaxed and yet challenging, with the right direction and encouragement to move things forward.”

“I just wanted to offer my belated thanks for successfully coaching me in achieving the Institute of Customer Service awards. I found your detailed and structured (but flexible) approach very appropriate in helping me realise how best to meet the requirements of this recognised scheme. At the same time, you effectively challenged my behaviours and career aspirations. I have since re-evaluated my working life and have now completed two years of running my own business - successfully! Had you not given me the kick I needed, I would not now be having such a fun challenge - many thanks”. |

“The coaching helped me to refocus on the direction in my work rather than drift into things. By defining what success looks like for me, I am much clearer, feel less guilty and less frustrated. I am now focusing on broadening my client base, to help me feel more secure.” |
