During 10 months of coaching Lynn has helped me to work through a complete career change. She has a really caring approach to what she does and her passion for me to achieve really came through in her approach.

I still use her as a sounding board on both personal and professional matters as well as staffing and performance issues.

I USE LYNN FOR PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT...

Having been on lots of training and development courses with Lynn in the past she was the obvious person to refer to when I wanted to make the most of changes taking place in my personal and professional life.

Lynn's knowledge knows no bounds. Her style is very relaxed, professional, encouraging and motivational. She continually challenges me to measure and evaluate myself in these areas.

Her coaching has been very beneficial and has helped me to utilise development goals and life balance to achieve positive results.

I highly recommend her.

WHY HER STYLE FITS ME...

What can I say about Lynn's coaching? It makes you stop being reactive and work on being pro-active.

She is friendly yet highly professional. Her informal style fits in with me. She is superb at what she does and she helps you to learn without actually teaching you. She is very knowledgeable and keeps things interesting and fast moving. I'd say she is all-round excellent.

One of the best in her profession.

HOW LYNN RAISED THE STANDARD OF MY ORGANISATION'S DEVELOPMENT FUNCTION...

Lynn Davidson has worked with my organisation since 1999. Throughout this period she has shown herself to be extremely professional and demonstrated the highest level of ability both as a Coach and a Training Facilitator. There is no question that she has significantly raised the standard of our development, to the point where we now offer a very comprehensive selection of high quality courses. These cover a wide variety of subjects, from Management Development to Interpersonal Skills, aimed at improving all areas of the business.

In addition, the introduction of personal coaching, led and delivered by Lynn, has undoubtedly helped to fast track the development of talented individuals within the organisation. It has improved their own self-awareness, helping them understand the qualities and skills required of them to reach maximum performance and as a result setting clear goals and an action plan to achieve them.

Lynn demands great respect within the business, she has great energy, integrity, drive and enthusiasm and she would be of great benefit of any organisation employing her services.

WHY I RECOMMEND LYNN TO MY CLIENTS...

I have known Lynn for over 12 years having worked with her when she joined my previous company where she developed the careers of many of our key managers.

I have met many people in my career involved in the people development field and I must say that Lynn is one of those rare people who have a vocation for helping people realise their potential. Recently I commissioned Lynn to provide one-to-one life coaching for a client and the feedback from the employee and her managers after only 4 sessions is outstanding.

Lynn has always a tremendous amount of passion, enthusiasm and integrity towards what she does and her commitment to those she works with and will remain key to her continued success. Over the years Lynn has become a friend as well as a colleague and in coaching I believe that she has found her purpose.

I FEEL LYNN'S COACHING HAS HELPED ME TO UNDERSTAND WHAT BEING A MANAGER IS ALL ABOUT...

Lynn works in a relaxed way and creates a comfortable atmosphere. She is bright, happy and approachable. I have personally recommended Lynn to many people as a trainer as well as a coach.

I have recently moved from formal training courses into one-to-one coaching as the key part of my development. I really feel this is a faster, more personal way to develop because in coaching I am tackling real life issues in real time. I am also monitoring and reviewing the responses with an independent but skilled third party.

A key part of my coaching has been about building up my management tool box and becoming very self aware via a series of profiling tools and feedback methods.

Her coaching has helped me immensely; I don't think I would be in the position I am at the moment without her. I know that when I talk with her it is confidential and I feel at ease.

LYNN'S COACHING BRINGS REAL LIFE RELEVANCE TO LEARNING - I USE HER TECHNIQUES TO COACH MY OWN TEAM...

Lynn is an excellent Coach. She is able to maintain interest with her enthusiasm and has the ability to give real-life relevance to learning. During my coaching she has raised my awareness of myself and others using a wide range of appropriate tools and techniques and various 360-degree feedback processes. She has encouraged me to widen my knowledge so that I am more rounded as a manager, to build myself a career plan and to actively benchmark.

During my coaching we have covered a range of issues, which include building my confidence to approach difficult subjects and situations, so much so that I use her skills and techniques to coach my own team. When I do this she supervises the coaching work I do with them to ensure good ethics are in place and value is added.

Lynn is enthusiastic, knowledgeable, has good presence and above all is a nice person too.

WHY I USE LYNN AS AN EXTENSION OF MY HR FUNCTION...

Lynn Davidson is flexible, involving, genuine, caring and is capable of endless positive energy.

I use Lynn in a number of ways; it may be to do a session with a manager experiencing performance issues to help them re-focus. It may be to accelerate an individual I've identified as a key player through the business. It's very often to support new managers and help them adapt and grow into their role. Whatever the reason the response is always positive and the results are measurable.

Lynn works well with all types and levels of people, and her style and approach will make you want her back.

I just wanted to take the time to thank you for the development work you did with me and my management team. You certainly added a new dimension to training with wit and humor galore!! There are many things that you taught that flash through my mind on a daily basis and help with the tasks that myself and the team perform – not least of all “feel the fear and do it anyway” you have improved everyone’s thinking mode forever.

I am sure everyone who spends time with you will continue to benefit massively – you have a talent for bringing out the best in people.

INSPIRING AND INFORMATIVE...

I am sure I speak for so many people when I say how inspiring and informative your development work is and how many people in my business have benefitted from it. Every day I use a different tool or technique you have taught me and I know thatmay of my management cohort would say the same. You are so full of energy that you almost bounce, so positive and confident and also warm and caring - a great combination.

I will always grateful for the advances Ihave made in this business because of the things you have taught me - your insight into my particular learning needs and your advice has allowed me to progress in leaps and bounds.

HOW COACHING IMPROVED MY SKILLS AS AN INTERNAL TRAINER...

Lynn is intelligent and knowledgeable and gives good value for money. She is also considerate of her learners, informal, and concerned she does her best by you.

Recently, after being coached by Lynn, I have been able to utilise skills honed by her to re-design and re-audit all of my own training courses.

I believe coaching a person on a particular task or skill set requires the coach to have 3 important traits:

1. To have patience with the learner;
2. To be able to challenge and encourage the learner;
3. To understand methodology, which means: method, line of attack, tactic, slant style and attitude.

LYNN'S COACHING HAS DEVELOPED ME AS A MANAGER AND TRANSFORMED MY TEAM AND MY FUNCTION...

I began coaching with Lynn when I first took up a managerial post in my current company. Having come from a skilled background, managing people effectively as well as tasks and costs was a challenge.

I have found my coaching sessions so helpful and I can measure my own progress against the success, stability and quality of my team members.

I recommend Lynn because I really believe she has been fundamental to my growth into what is now a Senior Management role.

She's professional, organised, enthusiastic, challenging, fun and a joy to work with.

I'VE DEVELOPED FROM A JUNIOR TO A SENIOR MANAGER USING LYNN'S DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME...

Lynn is easy to approach and is very passionate about what she does. She is excellent at making you feel at ease, recognises when you've got issues, and is a good confidante.

I think that without the time she has taken to develop me from a junior to a senior Manager and the support she has given me, I would not be where I am today.

I think that Lynn is very professional and loyal and this comes across in the way she works.

This course was fab. I am so glad I signed on to do it. The timing of the course and the subjects that it covered was perfect and the content and presentation were excellent.

Aarti Shah
Chiropractor

The pace of this course was snappy and really held my attention. There was lots of interaction and because the groups are small no one was afraid to speak out. The tools and ideas covered were excellent and I went away feeling positive and keen to do module two.

Jo Marlow
Teacher

I am so glad I came to this course; the atmosphere was relaxed fun and interactive. Lynn is an excellent trainer and a real "juicer" the work I have done with her on this and other courses has a positive effect on me and made me a much stronger person. This course was no exception - I have learned loads of new things to add to what she has already taught me and they are easy to transfer immediately into my everyday life. Excellent value for money.

Jackie Grant

The course content was great and the interaction really helped. There was enough time spent on each content area and lots of content to learn about. The fast pace keeps it interesting. Thank you for a really fun and positive workshop.

Tamasine Hickey
HR Manager

I have worked with Lynn before and was really keen to do this workshop. As always she delivered exceptionally well and covered loads of really interesting and valuable information in the time available. It was a great balance of group work, sharing ideas and learning the latest ideas in energy psychology. I can't wait to try out all the new things I have learned. Some of our group has already agreed to sign up for the next module.

Denise Raven

I was so interested in the subjects covered on this course and impressed with the way that they were covered that I have recommended it to my business. They are running it as part of the staff wellbeing week that we have every year. They were so impressed with Lynn that they have asked her to run her other workshops relating to wellbeing too!

Julie Rawling
Facilities Manager

Having had a very challenging and busy time both personally and professionally the Energy and Vitality Workshop gave me a great half day away to focus on me and what I need for my own wellbeing. As a personal coach I can also share what I have learned with my clients and will be recommending the workshop to them as well. Thanks Lynn.

Julie Jones
Relationship and Lifestyle Coach

The length of the seminar was just right. I particularly liked learning about the energy bank account, use of setting intentions and how the brain receives information. The seminar was very enlightening and thought provoking and was really well delivered and presented.

Colin Hutchinson
IPC Media

I thoroughly enjoyed this seminar. Lynn was incredibly uplifting and a positive role model for everything she teaches.

Teresa Macklin-Smith

A lot of what was said made me instantly reflect over my own life and habits and what I do right and wrong. It made me want to start changing, even if those changes start off with very small steps. Thank you.

Adele Craciun

Great course. I loved every minute and was fascinated by the way the subject areas were covered and presented. Lynn your energy was the best bit of the session. I also loved the DVD clips and resources you used to emphasize the points you were making.

I was really interested to learn about EFT because as a mother and childminder I have a wide variety children of varying age groups all of whom can benefit from this clever technique.

When my little girl was just under a year old Lynn taught me a few tapping points to help relax both myself and her when she was teething and couldn’t settle at night. I also have a 6 year old in my care who can do a full “tapping” process which can be used to help him calm down and feel in control or his own behavior management.

Emma Pilsworth
Childminder

Having had EFT with Lynn which totally cured a long standing fear of flying in just two sessions I decided I would like to attend the training course to learn more about this subject so that when I use EFT at home I have a stronger understanding of what I am doing. It was really interesting going through he structure of EFT and learning about its History. I have recommended Lynn and EFT to a number of people.

Donna Varley
Pilates Teacher

As an NLP practitioner I was fascinated to learn more about EFT as a complimentary tool in my psychological toolbox. This introductory couse covered a lot of information in a very short time and it was really helpful for me to understand the range of issues that EFT can help with.

Kevin Platt
NLP Practitoner

I came on the EFT course after attending another course with Lynn where she just touches on the subject. I have experienced extream night terrors for a number of years and Lynn thought EFT would help. I found the course a very cost effective way of learning about EFT and I have been able to use it myself at home and no longer experience night terrors which I find amazing. I also find EFT to be a very relaxing and calming process which I now like to incorporate into my bedtime routine. I feel unbelievably positive.

Nichola Button
Hairdresser

I run a Salon and I am interested in all holistic subjects. Lynn often rents a room for me when she is doing one to one sessions and I wanted to find out more about the subject for my own personal understanding. I found it incredibly interesting and now regularly recommend it as a technique to a number of my own customers.

Maxine Onstenk
Beauty Therapist

I attened this course with my partner who has had first hand experience of EFT on a one to one basis with Lynn. I found the training style and pace excellent, the delivery was entertaining as well as informative and everyone in the group was fully aware of each component part of the process before the learning moved on. Great style – great course – great trainer.

The course had a great pace and there was a good balance of time spent on each of the subject areas. It was a great course and a joy to have been in. Full of great advice and very useful information for me to take back to my school. Thank you very much.

Laura Clark
Primary School Teacher

The whole workshop was really interesting because it opened my eyes to things that I had previously had no idea about – I want all my staff to have the opportunity to attend.

Jane Cable
Preschool Head
Cambs

The workshop has lots of ideas that will be simple to put into practice with the children I work with. I thought the length of the workshop was good and I was surprised how much information Lynn could pack into two hours.

Rosemary Hodson
Childminder and childminder “Buddy”
Herts

Learning the best Language and body language to use with children was really interesting. The workshop improved my understanding of children’s behaviours and how to help them with self esteem. I was particularly interested in the EFT and Magic carpet techniques. Overall I found the workshop to be well planned with excellent references to the facilitators own experiences which I think really helps us as attendees.

Julie Rawling
Herts

I thought the pace of the course was good and that it covered a lot of subjects in the time available, all subjects were very well dealt with. I especially liked the techniques for dealing with anxious and upset children. I was very interested in the idea of EFT and will be having a go at this. I don’t think this workshop could be improved in any way and it was excellent value for money. I wish I could have attended when my own children were young.

Brenda Self
Teacher
Herts

Our baby is only 9 weeks old but I already knew Lynn and wanted to attend the workshop as I like her training style and find her courses hugely informative and helpful. My wife and I went away with so much information that has made us feel confident about our parenting. It’s also great to know that someone like Lynn is on hand if we need additional advice or support.
I would recommend this workshop to anyone. It’s a must for parents.

Ben Paramour

I have been on lots of development with Lynn over the years. When I found out I was pregnant and that she was doing a workshop on Maximising Children's Potential I didn’t want to wait. I wanted to learn things up front. Like everything she does, this workshop was packed full of great advice and information as well as being very enjoyable. I really liked the materials and resources that she showed us and the fact that we could buy them at discounted rates, so I stocked up in advance. Now all I need is the baby to come along while it is all still fresh in my mind.

Paula Gower

As a mother of three very young children I left the workshop feeling like I had lots of great things I could use in everyday life with my little girls. I am also a full time childminder and I was delighted to learn new ideas to help and support the children I look after and their parents. I gained lots of tips, techniques and materials to help me do that.

I was very interested in the information on raising and maintaining children’s self esteem because adults should always be very aware of how important this is for children and have a range of tools to help them. I was also really interested in how the brain develops in children and how I can help and support this in areas such as the speech patterns I use with them and in homework coaching in both reading and spelling.

Emma Pilsworth
Childminder

I thought the workshop was really professionally run. I was so engrossed I couldn’t believe how quickly the time went and how much information was covered. As a children’s nanny I found every subject really useful and really helpful, I also think they will be very easy to use. I usually have a really bad memory but I am finding that due to the way the subjects were taught I have been able to remember most of the information that was covered which is encouraging given that there was so much information available. I loved the resources that were demonstrated and am now enjoying reading more information in the books that I bought on the night.

Niki Button
Children’s Nanny

The information was delivered in such a light and interesting way, it was very easy to understand how to apply the techniques. I particularly liked the fact that there were lots of personal and specific examples given rather than just text book examples. I was especially interested to find out about how the brain develops. I thought the workshop was excellent I am planning to keep my notes to hand for regular reference and I am also planning to run one of these for my friends and family.

Jackie Grant

The workshop was a good length to give people an insight into all the areas that relate to children’s development. I particularly liked the areas that covered children’s self esteem and helping them with spellings.

Joanne Andrews
Childminder

I thought the course was very good at tapping into the way children think and learn in a way that helps parents. There was a lot of information covered in two hours and I am looking forward to trying out the techniques and enjoying the effects.

Helen Ogilvie

The time flew by yet the pace was ideal with sufficient coverage of each topic. It was great to learn more about building children’s self esteem as this is such an important subject. The EFT section gave excellent practical examples to take away and try and the visual spelling will prove incredibly useful. The only way to improve this course is to make it longer! I really enjoyed the course – a very productive use of 2 hours that I will certainly recommend to others!

Steve Ramsey

It was nice to hear someone so knowledgeable and discover all the great and imaginative techniques to help children develop. All the techniques were very useful and the resources very user-friendly.
