Testimonials:

I had the great privilege of working with Edna for several years. Edna was my coach! And a damn good coach at that.  Why?  Well, she never made the coaching about her, it was always in service to me. She challenged me to take a holistic view of where I was going and where I wanted to get to. Skillfully, through the use of various frameworks and tools, I learnt things about myself I didn’t know. And then we set about making great progress towards a “better me”.

Edna’s intuition, coaching ability and compassion are something I will always be grateful for as she has been an invaluable guide for me on my journey and one I strongly would / and have, recommended to others.           Lauren, Client

In my 20 years of corporate life, I’ve been fortunate to work with a number of executive coaches but Edna was a whole other level.  I could not possibly recommend Edna enough.  Over a period of 8 months, she not only significantly improved my development and performance into an executive role, she also simultaneously supported me through my greatest ever personal crisis.

I’m pretty sure I would not have made it through without her. She is both professional and supportive; challenging and caring; patient and determined. You will have to search long and hard to find a better coach.     Darin, Client

I began working with Edna when I was unexpectedly retrenched from a senior corporate position which presented me with big, difficult decisions about my career and how I wanted to live.  I worked with Edna to integrate the pain of that transition to gain clarity, focus and momentum in my life and work, which has taken a more fulfilling direction, aligned to my deeper values.  Edna’s guidance helped me to find the courage and clarity I needed to strike out in this new direction.As a Coach, Counsellor and Therapist, Edna has a rare combination of professional expertise, profound insight, sharp intellect and deep compassion.  Her ability to bring together therapeutic knowledge with business acumen has been invaluable in our work together.  Last, but not least, Edna’s strength and integrity generated the trust that has allowed our sessions to be profoundly beneficial.          Director, Sustainability Consulting Practice

About Professional Group Facilitation:

Edna is a very involved and enlightened facilitator

Thanks to Edna, I have a changed perspective of group work.  This was a journey of self awareness and I have surprisingly enjoyed it immensely

Edna is an excellent group facilitator.  I immensely appreciated her balance of being present and genuine, though not in the group, still able to impart and share of herself and theory where appropriate.  I think she struck this balance brilliantly.

Thank you Edna, for your insightfulness, care and understanding.  I have so much valuable new information and perspectives to help me continue my journey.

I felt the group got a little out of control at one stage, and I saw Edna facilitate the group, and myself, back to a safe place within which we could continue our work.

Edna has been instrumental in the growth of our group and has a natural way of explaining process to make it understandable.  She is very perceptive, providing a fantastic group experience.

I found Edna to be extremely grounded and clear and I felt more confident to find my real voice in the group with her holding the space in the steady way she did.

From ‘Create The Life of Your Dreams’ Workshop Retreat

I attended the workshop thinking I probably wouldn’t gain a lot out of it, yet was curious to know what it would be like.  I left having discovered some very important things about myself, which hopefully will improve my life and relationships.  The sharing and caring promoted within the group facilitated by Edna and Pam was inspiring.

A highly professional, incredibly supporting, nurturing, knowledgeable, clear and concise group faciitated approach.  The openness, encouragement, positiveness and sensitivity shown by both Edna and Pam facilitated incredible changes to occur for myself and others attending.  Everything came from their heart to the hearts of us all.  Thank you so much.
D.M.

This retreat workshop was very well run, conceived and planned in all respects.  The facilitators, Edna and Pam, were personal yet efficient and knowledgeable.  Would highly recommend each of them and their workshops.
G.S.

The thing about change is it can be scary.  This workshop was delivered in a safe and caring environment to open up personal dreams and see them become real and possible.  I am going away from this workshop knowing what I want will happen – that is extraordinary.  Thank you Edna and Pam for holding me responsible for achieveing my dreams.
