TESTIMONIALS

 

Business coaching

“Dear Kiki, This is a testimonial for you and the wonderful service you provide. You came to our shop to give us your 1 hour free intro session and the help and advice you gave during that session is spot on … you were a hit with everyone in the shop. Your consultations really are value for money, you get solid sensible advice … someone who certainly knows her job and knows how to get the best out of people. Thank you.” Marc H, Creative Flowers

“We asked Kiki to help and see if she could find the holes in the way we were doing things and identify the areas where she could improve and add value. With the first free meeting we had picked up on a number of good ideas despite working on our product for the past 18 months. We have engaged her to council and mentor the directors of the company and she is now considered a valuable member of the team for her experienced, insight and enthusiasm. She injects the meetings with her humour and fun. When you have trouble seeing the wood for the trees, Kiki is the best guide I know to get you to where you want to go.” Ron M, Totally Insured Group

“Thank you so much for this* Kiki, I found our discussion this morning extremely useful. As I think you picked up we are extremely determined to go for this and your advice is something that we would be silly not to take on board …  I also just wanted to say thank you for your straight talking shoot from the hip approach. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending your services to any businesses looking for advice/help/a KICK up the arse.” Matt S.

Career mentoring

“Within a few meetings, Kiki gave practical advice on how to deal with some specific situations …  the advice worked almost immediately. It was such a relief to know that I was no longer alone and had somebody to turn to that did not have a vested interest in the company. Kiki would challenge me on my thoughts and actions which helped me quantify them before implementation. I believe I have really gained the trust and respect of my team and management thanks to the mentoring. I will definitely be continuing my relationship with Kiki as the benefits are so powerful for both me and the company.” Karen S

Business skills seminars

Re: Barclays “Bright Marketing” “Dear Kiki … I wanted to let you know that I loved your approach and to say you’re great for the Barclays brand. Also, many thanks for the opportunity to step out of my comfort zone and chat to an audience with a microphone. I was previously terrified of the things. Sad but true. Now I can accept some invitations to speak to large groups. Hoorah!” Jessica C

Re: Barclays “Let’s Talk … Green Business” “Hi Robert … I wasn't going to go [to the event] but then R., asked me to go on his behalf at very short notice … and do him a report, so I did! I have to say it was very well run, very interactive and Kiki is just amazing - do please tell her I said so - would have liked the opportunity to get to know her better. Cheers.” Alison W

“Just a quick email to thank you for the time you spent with us at the Breaking Barriers Negotiation Workshop last month in Thame. You gave the impression of someone who has a great deal of energy, fantastic confidence, awareness and general enthusiasm. You made contact with us - or at least me!  It really does begin to make us think about awakening our own diminishing levels of the same! So, when it gets a little tough, I think about your own self-belief and your belief in us/me. Thank you.” Theresa R

“Thank you so much for the contact details, and for the really inspirational session yesterday afternoon. I left feeling so motivated, and believe it or not, managed to negotiate a refund on a train fare I didn't need anymore - I'd previously been refused the refund twice, but tried the three "yes's" in a row technique with the delightful duty manager at Brighton station ... and you've guessed it. My £48.80 paid for the train fare is back in my bank account!” Tara D

“Dear Kiki - we met yesterday in Crawley, and I wanted to thank you for your time - the afternoon was really inspiring, and I would like to congratulate you for this.  You gave me lots to think about, plus some really useful tips for negotiating … I was really interested in how you recognised very quickly the nub of my problem - namely that I have to look carefully at what makes me 'tick' and how this should help me to plan for the future in my business.  I have emailed my mentor on this very subject and I hope she will rise to the challenge!” Alice E

Inspiring keynotes

"Thank you so much for your time, energy and honest approach today. It was really appreciated by not only C, S and myself but by the others who hadn't met you before. Thank you. You are a true inspiration, even if it's without knowing it! Thank you again for spending some of your precious time with us last Wednesday, the feedback from the team was really fantastic and they went away with a spring in their step and renewed motivation for the women in business approach. Finally, thank you for the copy of the letter from x that you showed to C, as on the back of that, we have 'done a deal' with Companies House and are now contacting every new business that registers, to see how we can help. A great opportunity and thank you again.” Andi K, NatWest

 Hi Kiki … I thought I would drop you a line to say a big thank you for your help last week.  We got some positive feedback from participants who thought your presentation was very inspirational and as a result we got some very creative ideas for this year’s plan.  One of the main suggestions was that Connexions should be consulting further with young people and we should ensure that our youth board represents those that we work with (not just middle class white teenagers) … Once again, thank you for all your help and I hope to speak to you again soon. Regards” Lucy McQ, Connexions Kent & Medway
