"the only way to do great work is to love what you do ... don't settle ... as with all matters of the heart you'll know it when you find it ..."

Executive Career Coaching really helped me get clarity on my purpose, scope out and evaluate the next career move I made and settle into a new Executive role. I would highly recommend Darryl-Louise for her down to earth, caring and practical coaching style."

"I would highly recommend Darryl-Louise. She instantly builds trust and her open, warm and positive approach creates the right environment to reflect on the key issues and work through possible solutions. She is good at ensuring each session had a focus and outcome. Her career coaching services are based on an approach that is hugely supportive, insightful and leaves you feeling positive and inspired."

"My executive coaching sessions with Darryl-Louise proved to be a fantastic experience. Having worked for 22 years in senior management positions with 3 major global corporations, I was originally sceptical about what could be the benefits of coaching. I had recently been made redundant and thought I knew all I needed to know about my next steps in my career. My scepticism was soon eliminated by Darryl-Louise. She demonstrated tremendous insight into my career path to date and most importantly, was able to guide me to my potential future career opportunities. Her coaching was extremely professional, insightful and outshone all my previous coaching/management training.

Our coaching sessions were always very motivating for me, since Darryl-Louise always approached them in a positive frame of mind and for each session there was a clear objective and outcome. The coaching sessions were very well structured with Darryl-Louise using excellent questioning and listening skills in order to understand my key personal drivers and motivations. I can wholeheartedly recommend Darryl-Louise to anyone who has the desire to better understand what their true strengths, passions and genuine motivations are in life".  

“Thoughtful and thought provoking, Darryl-Louise  really added some value when I was wrestling with career defining decisions. 

No hesitation in strongly recommending her to anyone looking for an insightful and knowledgeable career coach”. 

“Darryl-Louise is a brilliant coach because as well as being properly trained to do the job, she is instinctive about it too. 

She understands, feeds back, adds insight and helps a client to get to the right place using their own thought processes. I recommend her completely.” 

"Darryl-Louise has provided me with the level of support needed to face some pretty major 'life changing' decisions in relation to my career.  

Her style provides the perfect balance between challenge and empathy allowing you to truly open up and develop clear achievable next steps.  

Whether it's been a long term issue or a short-term frustration, Darryl-Louise's style always delivers.  You leave the session with inner calm  and  a smile on your face !"

“I contacted Darryl-Louise through a mutual friend two years ago at a time where I was asking myself many questions around my career. I’d had several different roles, all of which I felt I had secured per chance without really asking myself where I was going or if I was building something along the way which would lead to a role that I really wanted. 

 I had never discussed my career in any depth before, but Darryl really helped me organise my ideas and form a much clearer picture of what type of company and role worked best for me and my values. Thanks to this work, within a month or so I had already started targeting a specific type of company and role, and very soon afterwards I joined a great group and had landed a great job. 

I can honestly say this is the best fit I have ever had in my career. I would really recommend Darryl to anyone looking for professional career coaching.”. 

"Darryl-Louise worked with me to clarify a number of outstanding issues that had limited my thinking.  Using various techniques she helped empower me to decide what I really wanted in a career and gave me tools to move forward.  

I was able to view myself and my achievements in an entirely different light.  

This enabled me to sell myself to my current employers.  I am now working in a central government role with the variation in work that I was looking for and a career path that fits with my beliefs and values.  

In just a couple of months, I gained a renewed confidence in myself and my abilities.  And despite a long gap without working and the current climate ... I secured a great job within weeks of coaching with Darryl-Louise".

"Darryl-Louise is a highly valued colleague and seasoned coaching professional.  

She has collaborated with me and the ImaginativeHR team on executive career coaching assignments, group facilitation and career management assignments with multi-sector clients based in the UK, USA, Italy, Poland and Belgium; consistently achieving outstanding results. She is a real pleasure to work with." 

"I have enjoyed working with Darryl-Louise as an Associate at HDA specialising in Executive Coaching and Career Transition nearly 10 years now.   

Darryl-Louise’s delivery is always professional, ethical and above all she deploys one of her greatest strength at being able to engage with individuals across all levels and background. Whilst never one to compromise on quality, Darryl-Louise also instils the importance of having fun in her work - something which is often overlooked! I look forward to continuing our working relationship."
