What I like about the programme is, it's more than just a simple coaching programme. There are other elements to it, such as the habit tracking app and the connect sessions, which really help you think outside of the box. The great thing also about it is that it can be tailored to you. I'm very busy and I chop and change my diary all the time. Daniel is very flexible to accommodate that. It isn't a one size fits all approach.

What I really love about the programme is how it's really tailored to the individual - because every individual is different. Everyone has different needs, different strengths, different areas that they need coaching in. What I like most about Daniel's approach and coaching style is that he really listens to understand, even when I didn't really know what I needed or the type of coaching I needed, he managed to ask me the right questions, to answers that I didn't even know I was looking for.

I'd say my biggest success having been on the programme is really around sort of keeping my mindset focused on controlling the controllables. Dan works really, really well in terms of steering and coaching you in such a way that you sort of discount the things that you can't control, and really focus on the things that you can control and have some agency over.

I learned on the programme that a lot of the academic elements that I spent reading and educating myself on, were really powerful tools, but implementing them in a specific way was the key. So how do I phrase and use the language in the right way? How do I make sure that I am leading by example? How do I make sure that I am not judging individuals based on myself as an example? Daniel coached me through those to understand that it starts with you as a person, and then you can then distill that down into your teams.

The things I wanted to achieve by entering the programme with Dan was around personal development. But, ultimately, I believe that we should all be looking to improve ourselves in work and out of work, and that personal development is really important to me - engaging someone that I don't know, outside of the business that I work in - really provided a fresh perspective.

I think the biggest impact that the programme's had on me is certainly developing my confidence in certain situations. Being relatively new to my role and interacting with more senior key stakeholders within the business, being able to talk to Dan about certain situations and him reaffirming that what I believe I'm doing is correct, has really helped grow that confidence.

What I liked about the coaching programme is it felt like an integrated approach. There are lots of different elements combined, but it felt like everything was working towards my own goals in a seamless way. My biggest success with the coaching programme has been the confidence to get out of my own way and set my own goals and achieve them. My experience with the 360 feedback was very positive.
