“I have over the past 3 years had the distinct pleasure of working with Emilie McIver in her capacity as a coach. When I found myself moving into a new role in Senior Leadership with a new strategic plan, I approached Emilie to help me uncover my strengths and build tools to help me become a better leader. Emilie proved herself to be an excellent and active listener who was well-versed in asking the right questions to help create a plan of action for my new role. She offers useful and relevant advice and techniques that have helped me manage difficult conversations with both colleagues and senior members of my team. Through both fun and useful learning assessments, general conversation, probing questions and her useful techniques, I built confidence in my abilities as a leader and was able to set boundaries to ensure I was successful in my new role.
I am now working with Emilie on my overall career direction to determine what is the next career step and where I want to be in the next five to 10 years. As a coach, Emilie has a strong knowledge of her subject and a confident delivery that puts me at instant ease. I would recommend – and have already recommended – Emilie McIver to several of my peers.”
