Empowering! CEO & Trustee, former Accenture
“As a former Accenture Management Consultant, I have always found our coaching sessions to be extremely empowering and enlightening!”- Zahra Shah, formerly Accenture, current CEO and Trustee BPF
Management Excellence – COO, Endemol Shine Group
“Richard and I worked together on leadership development in the context of cross cultural team and commercial management. This included managing key stakeholders, clients and colleagues. I found the time together helpful because it gave me the opportunity to re-focus my efforts on ensuring alignment between my key internal leaders and the business strategy for my areas of responsibility. As a direct result of my work with Richard I excelled both in managing my subordinates as well as improved my leadership status in the overall organisation.” – Chief Operations Officer International Operations – Endemol Shine Group
Positive, collaborative and energised culture – Kings Cross Academy
“Lazarus and Maverick began working with King’s Cross Academy in early 2017. As a brand new organisation and a brand new team it was really important for us to develop a positive, collaborative and energised culture where adults understand the important part they play in the success of a child’s life. Changing an existing culture is challenging, starting one from scratch was terrifying! We had one opportunity to get this right and didn’t want to mess up! The work that Lazarus and Maverick have done with our staff around ‘understanding self and delivering excellence’ has, without doubt, helped us on the path to reach our vision. Without their guidance and support we would not be at the point we are at today – a self-aware, confident staff body that understands the power of collaboration and the importance of self-accountability in order to get the very best for the children in our care. Thank you for all you have done and we look forward to continuing our journey with you.” – Kings Cross Academy
Outstanding – fdu Group
“Lazarus & Maverick deliver an outstanding value to anyone who wants quick results in improved performance”. David Bloom, Chief Finance Officer, FDU
Working with Lazarus & Maverick was a really positive experience. – Online Travel Brand
“Working with Lazarus & Maverick was a really positive experience. It helped us make new decisions to improve our business. As a result, we took certain steps we weren’t ready for before due to our limiting understanding of our resources, time, funding and division of responsibilities, and perhaps even our own readiness to lead the business to the next level. Coaching has shifted that perception and I am very glad we hired coaching services. It’s already paid off with our new online sales!” – Denise, Business Co-Owner (Retail)
Confidence and clarity to deal with strategic issues
Working with Alex has really helped me establish myself in my demanding new leadership role and hit the ground running from the start. As a result, I had both the confidence and clarity to deal with immediate strategic issues ahead. I would highly recommend executive coaching to anyone – it’s a very rewarding process and I found Alex to be exceptionally insightful, sensitive and practical at the same time. – Nikki Sher, Head of Brand and Buying, TO.AST (Fashion)
Farhana, Management Consultant (Global Management Consultancy)
Coaching sessions with Lazarus & Maverick made a huge difference in my career decisions, work/life balance, improved leadership, significantly better communication style and achieving the outcomes I set for myself. It would have been impossible to disarm my weaknesses and learn about my limiting behavioural and thought patterns by myself. I recommend coaching as a practical way of how to move forward.
Jess, Teacher (Education)
I turned to coaching as I felt stuck in my current role. Despite really enjoying it, there was something missing but I didn’t have the skill of self-reflection to pause, assess and decide what to do about it. Alex gave me space to look at the options I haven’t even considered before. She is intuitive and a very kind coach who really helped me feel energised again in my professional life.
Ruth, Partnership Director (Publishing)
Throughout our sessions she was very professional yet empathetic which I appreciated given the nature of my challenges as a senior director and a manager of a creative team made up of strong individuals. After 3 months, I gained a new perspective and freed myself from self-imposed limitations, and the coaching process helped me fine tune my leadership style and achieve my business objections more easily than I would have done without this kind of support.
Andrea, Legal advisor (Legal Services)
Alex was absolutely fantastic in each of our coaching sessions. She was able to help me identify my limiting beliefs and identify set-backs which I was unaware of by asking me pertinent and intelligent questions. She was also exceptionally inspiring and motivating. As a result, I felt mentally and emotionally stronger in succeeding in my chosen profession and I was able to make progress with my goals, in the absence of which I feel I would have not made much progress. I feel she is a superb coach and an excellent listener.
Rebecca, Client Relations Director (Finance)
My confidence as a team leader improved within a couple of weeks of working with Alex. She used various techniques to show me that my assumptions were wrong, had no grounding in reality and that there was a different, an alternative way to look at my problem. If fact, I can now see it has never been a problem in the first place. As a result, my performance improved and so did my communication with my colleagues.
Kate, Group Account Director (Advertising Agency)
Following my recent promotion, working with Alex allowed me to have a new perception on the issues I felt were blocking my way forward. Talking through the fears I was facing about taking action, I felt comfortable that I could do this in a culture of respect and without being judged which motivated me further to succeed. Coaching helped me gain clarity on how to improve the team’s performance and keep the staff motivated. I have taken many actions since our sessions together and I truly believe I am on the path towards what I wanted to achieve. I would not have been able to do this half as quickly, if at all, if it hadn’t been for working with Alex.
Anya, Operations Director (Creative Services)
Alex’s enthusiasm and positive mindset was contagious. Throughout our sessions she was very professional yet empathetic which I appreciated given the nature of my challenges as a senior director and a manager of a creative team made up of strong individuals. After 3 months of working with Alex, I gained a new perspective and freed myself from self-imposed limitations, and the coaching process helped me fine tune my leadership style and achieve my business objections more easily than I would have done without this kind of support.
