Sally Ann changed the way I thought, communicated and operated by using challenging questions, making observations and providing me with a useful armoury of tools to apply in difficult situations. Tools and behaviours that I frequently use to make a difference.

Finance Director

I first engaged Sally Ann to work with a number of “high potential” managers and young partners in my group at BDO. The objective being to work with these individuals to help realise their potential. I am pleased to say of the group of 4 managers 2 were promoted to partner.

Sally Ann quickly understood and appraised the needs of each individual and developed a tailored plan against which she set their goals and reported on progress. I appreciated the quick personal bond she established with each individual and the efficiency and integrity of her approach.

Perhaps the greatest testament to the quality of her work is the fact that many years on those individuals recognise the assistance given to them and remain in contact.
