Testimonials

RecruitAbility specialises in providing independent and professional recruitment services

“Wendy and I would like to take this opportunity to thank Coaching Dynamics for all your help and support over the last 6 months. I think it would be fair to say that I thought I was the last person in the world that needed a business coach and then I met you and I realised what you could do for our business.

Within a couple of months of working with you, Wendy and I reached goals that we thought were years away and you not only made us realise what we could achieve, but you gave us the tools and mechanism to make it happen sooner than we thought would be possible.

Since meeting you, we have successfully recruited staff, we have moved premises and have an exciting business plan and vision which I have no doubt we will achieve.

Your dedication and passion about our business has never ceased to amaze and impress me and I look forward to continuing our excellent working relationship and to seeing what else RecruitAbility can achieve with Coaching Dynamics by our side.

Thank you Tina, we cannot recommend you highly enough.”

“Having started in our new business in September 2010, 1 had been overwhelmed with the amount of work I had to achieve both behind the scenes and customer facing. I needed to pull all the strands of our new business together and start to run a more efficient and profitable business with clarity and focus.

Under Tina's mentor-ship I managed to identify the key goals I had and what I needed to learn and do to achieve those goals.

The areas we covered were diverse; refining the business systems, developing a client base, clarifying our finances, improving our customer care, developing the business image, increasing turnover, developing our marketing strategy, analysing costs. As well as lots of other tangents and tasks.

With each of the areas, we made clear, defined plans to work towards achieving the goals; identifying strengths and weaknesses and tangible activities to lead toward the success we envisage.

Tina has a calm, efficient approach but also has a very warm, natural personality which is impossible to dislike. She is honourable and has a high moral code, for which she wins my complete respect. Her energy ensures that her large list of professional contacts will always be available to her clients and further mutually beneficial connections can be made.

I am delighted with the progress I and the business have made as a result of the programme I have undertaken with Tina. We carefully monitored the progress as we went along and starting with an achievement rate of 39%, on completion of 6 sessions I had an achievement rate of 70%. I found the sessions invaluable and that they gave me a structure and organisation to my business activities, allowed me to have a clear vision and mission for the business and tangible goals to work towards.

I enrolled for further coaching and have now found that the tangible goals are being realised, our turnover has increased, and our mission statement is being realised.”

“Before I started working with Tina and Coaching Dynamics, my time management was very poor, I never had time, I was always too busy and my efficiency level was just 25%.

Our first session was time management which had an immediate impact on the way I managed my day. The results quite frankly were amazing; within a few days of implementing their ‘Traffic Light System' I was completing more tasks, and had time to plan for the next day.

My days are now pro-active not re-active which is proving to be very beneficial, not only in my business, but in my home life too. After just 6 sessions my efficiency rating has more than doubled to 53% which I didn't think was possible”

Lily Pins Ltd is the only company in the UK providing CRB checked, Dementia Trained hairdressers, beauticians and chiropodist professionals exclusively to the Care Sector

“When I met Tina, I was struggling to organise myself although I knew my business had potential I couldn't see the wood for the trees. Tina has changed all that for me and has truly “challenged me to be successful”

I really feel that Tina is as passionate about the success and growth of LilyPins as I am.

Tina has improved both my confidence and my profit margin; she has a solution or suggestion for all challenges and problems. I now have a clear positive approach to my business and truly believe that having Tina on board is indeed a necessity and not a luxury.

Tina's support, guidance, counselling and friendship has been inspirational to me over the last six months and my leadership skills have improved a great deal as a result.

Tina is professional, patient and understanding and has a very calming influence on me especially at those times when I feel a little overwhelmed by being a business owner, knowing that Tina and her words of wisdom or “Dulieu Fairy dust” is there for me is invaluable.

Thank you Tina for helping me make my dreams a reality!”

“Our initial course of six Executive Coaching sessions has been a great help to our company. We have been able to achieve goals that we had neglected and unrecognised previously. The sessions allowed us to analyse the company by dissecting it into six priority areas to tackle, we have been able to rework processes to help us to operate efficiently and productively.

Our time management has improved by implementing different strategies; we have also reworked our invoicing system to improve cash flow. Tina has encouraged us to recognise our strengths and weaknesses and enabled us to build on and address them. We are continuing to use Tina as our Business and Executive Coach in an on-going relationship to enable us to develop the company further in the future”

“Having been involved in a variety of businesses over a long lifetime, I believed that I'd have little to learn when it came to running a new SME with my son, freshly released from university. Tina has the knack of pointing out the blindingly obvious yet easily overlooked elements of a fledgling company. The old saying of being “unable to see the wood for the trees” proved particularly true when thinking about the individual dynamics, strengths and challenges posed by a family-run business.

Tina gently encouraged us to stand back and overview our sales, marketing and growth plans, encouraging us to prioritise our tasks, rather than attempting to achieve everything seemingly urgent in a reactive rush. We have already seen quantifiable results.

Her approach is deceptively laid back and she encourages a positive, linear plan to move your business forward. If you are too busy working to fully comprehend your business future then I would commend the services of Tina and her company, Coaching Dynamics”

“From a position of confusion over the direction I should move my business in order to get a better sense of satisfaction from my work, and more work of the right type, I found the coaching very beneficial. It provided a structured approach to exploring the motivations and issues and finding a way forward that feels right for me.

As an unrelated third party, Tina's coaching was very good in providing the safe and comfortable space to do this, with plenty of encouragements, skilful questioning, and friendly listening and reflection.

I have been a bit like a cat in a bag to pin down in the past and there were times I wondered whether this structured coaching was right for me but in fact it has provided the spring board to move on more effectively”

“I cannot thank you enough for all the help you have given me with the launch of our new product ‘Funglasses'. I knew nothing about marketing a new product and you have ensured everything that I have done so far has been effective and professional.

Your encouragement and support has been invaluable and as you know you are always my first port of call when I have been successful. Without you I would not have been able to break my product range into the big name zoos, so thank you Tina from the bottom of my heart. You are a truly wonderful coach and a lovely person”

“Over the past nine months, Tina Dulieu has been assisting me in developing my business. I approached Tina because I saw someone who could see clearly, identify the heart of issues and worked well with people.

Tina has not disappointed. I look forward to our sessions and always expect to go in with concerns but come out with ideas to implement. Her advice is much prized.

I recommend Tina to anyone who values thinking deeply about their business to drive it forward”

“I am delighted with the progress I and the business have made as a result of the programme I have undertaken with Tina. We carefully monitored the progress as we went along and starting with an achievement rate of 39%, on completion of 6 sessions I had an achievement rate of 70%.

I found that my colleague Sarah has been reinvented. She has retained her administrative skills and general intellect, but has added drive, confidence and enthusiasm to her skills. I can only congratulate you, Tina, on achieving the targets I requested beyond my expectations”
