This program contributed tremendously not only to my development as Director, but development of my organization. At the beginning, when this program was offered to me, I thought to myself “Another task to my huge load of work”. Starting from the first session, I felt lucky I was involved in this program. Every session gave me a new idea and reinforced my desire to do this work. This program empowered me as director of this Women’s Fund and contributed to the development of my organization. My coach was really experienced, and her work was very effective. We built an open, trusting and friendly relationship during this period.

In this world where you can look up solutions to just about everything online, it helps to have personalised solutions to your struggles. It was nice having a coach who listens and guides you to come up with solutions yourself, make you realise that you actually have the solution. My coaching sessions have gotten me to be so much more proactive in all aspects of my life and raised my self-belief to levels I didn’t think possible.

I really looked forward to my coaching sessions, which took me on an emotional but rewarding journey. I learned more about myself and how to contain any anxiety and stress with a really easy to remember strategy and came out of the sessions feeling empowered and more confident. I would highly recommend this coaching to others.

Having coaching sessions with Alexandra Montgomery via the Kairos Project was like the most wonderful affirmation of that fact – that life and leadership are indeed squiggly, and that’s ok. It made me more keenly aware of the interplay between the different parts of myself and how that impacts who I am in both my work and personal life. It re-opened some rusty routes and lessons I had already come across in the past but helped me ‘know’ them for the first time.

It gave me the tools to increase my adaptive resilience and to relish in the aim of becoming a leader embodying “a clear mind, warm heart and strong presence”. I’m now embedding coaching across my management team as it works with the individual in such transformational ways that it ripples across the organisation right across to the people whose lives as a charity we wish to change.

The Kairos Project provided flexible and responsive high quality coaching, which was positive and reinforcing. This has effectively developed and enhanced some of my working practice, and given me helpful tools to assess and respond to new opportunities and challenges.

My coaching experience was extremely positive. The process was flexible and tailored to me. My coach took the time to understand me and my needs, but also stretched and challenged me to get out of my comfort zone! A very worthwhile experience, in which I learnt so many practical tips and tools to use in my everyday (working) life.
