Asma Maya Joseph-Hussain
Director of Business Development at Willen Hospice
“Zena is an insightful, thought provoking and stretching coach. Her guidance through the Cranfield School of Management’s High Performance Leadership Course was invaluable.”
Sinead Healy
Founder at Marmalade Development & Fanclub Recognition
“Where to begin, where we started was definitely a long way from where we ended up and that was a very good thing.
Zena is an outstanding coach, her wisdom and ability to see into the heart of the issue, the way she connects different areas of your life to help you understand yourself better & the skills she has in terms of constellations and systemic coaching, means that you’ll go far deeper in sessions with Zena than you would with other coaches.
In terms of style, genuine, compassionate, caring & courageous. If you’re thinking about having coaching with Zena do it, you absolutely will not regret it!”
Alfie Booth
Director at Head Sheet Ltd
“One of the biggest surprises to me about starting my own business was the realisation that I appeared to be sabotaging my own progress with procrastination. When you are deciding in which way to ‘steer your ship’ it can come as quite a shock that you become estranged from your values. I found that I had lost my way as to what my ‘goals’ were. I made no progress at all, largely because I didn’t want to make BAD progress.
Working with Zena was a revelation. She quickly connected me with the mindset I had when I started my endevour and I soon found what felt ‘right’ to me again. Since then I have been much more able to make (and stand by) decisions for myself and for my business. Thank you Zena.”
Tumikilani Banda
Associate Director, NHS
“Zena was my tutor for a leadership programme for High Performance Leadership. What stayed with me from working with Zena was her analytical approach which was on point about me as a leader, the organisation and their relationships. Zena brought that to life, making it tangible by using a systemic approach. Learning from Zena has been a privilege, if you ever get the chance grab it, it will be fun, memorable and life changing.”
Katharine Bollon
Head of Capability & Talent, The Law Society, Former Organisational Development Consultant, Churchill Insurance
“Zena was hired as a coach to an internal group of OD consultants supporting a large scale integration and cultural change programme for an insurance company.
Her group work and individual work was tailored to the needs at the time. She also gave us an extra stretch taking us to the next level by challenging us in a constructive way to come to terms with the ambiguity and uncertainty that allowed us to be more objective and creative. At times there were some uncomfortable ‘politics’ to deal with and she demonstrated great facilitation skills in helping us to move forward in a constructive way.”
Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, High Integrity
Gordon Farr
Director at Green Circle Consulting Ltd
“I have had the pleasure of working with Zena , twice and for different organisations with different issues but both times she provides an excellent understanding of the cultural climate with real practical solutions that bring about change.
She is at all times honest in her feedback regardless of her paymaster and I would recommend her in any organisation that really wants to achieve step change.”
