...helping me to drive better results and refocus on more strategic initiatives
Dmitry Shymkiv, General Manager
Microsoft UkraineWhat worked well was Olwyn’s professionalism, experience and skills; coach preparation and my homework; clear objectives and regular reflections on the results. Part of the coaching sessions were focused on driving the process of identifying my successors as well as future organisation development. Today, I have a clear vision for the future organisation under the current situation as well as identified and stated coaching process for my successors. Significant focus on Executive Maturity is helping me to drive better results and refocus on more strategic initiatives rather than being tactical.
Olwyn is a really great coach. Very direct, open, honest and clear with “asks” – lots of value-add. She is a superstar! The coaching experience was a great way to pause and think about myself and take time to act based on this. You also need to be ready for coaching. I recall having done some previous coaching sessions and was probably not ready to learn and act upon it then.

NHSI genuinely find these so useful – I’m surprised how great I feel afterwards and look forward to the next.
This was so useful. It enabled me to get my thoughts about how I am feeling into a logical order, with good advice about how to tackle larger projects. I’ve already made a start with this and feeling really positive.

I start my new leadership role wiser, more confident with greater resilience to tackle what lies ahead.
Christophe Barut, Legal Director Southern Europe
DellWhen I started the coaching process, I decided to fully engage with what it offered but I wasn’t really sure what to expect. But a year on, as I look back at the time that I have spent with Olwyn as my executive coach, I realise that it was extraordinary. It has truly accelerated my learning. I took the feedback and rather than getting defensive about it, I digested it and found new strategies to deal with challenging situations and people. I have grown and evolved as a leader and feel more confident in how I lead others. I have built capability and bench strength in the team and sought ways to develop them too. I start my new leadership role wiser, more confident with greater resilience to tackle what lies ahead.
“My coaching engagement with Olwyn provided me with an opportunity to step away from the business periodically and discuss both my personal and business agenda to drive improvement in the strategy. A good example of her value to us was a workshop that she facilitated to galvanize my management team around our vision and set a clear mission for the business and this was very well done.”

Dell SpainOlwyn gave us honest feedback, came with clear ideas and she had a fantastic approach. We made good progress on my side and on my team’s side. I had a much better relationship with my team, detecting tensions and I have been able to reorganize the right way. A huge improvement in the team motivation and business results.
I really enjoy my sessions with Olwyn. I learn so much from her. She gives me space to process what I am dealing with! I end my sessions with a high and motivated once again to tackle the world! Thank you, Olwyn 🙂
