“Davina is an outstanding individual and just blew me away. Her insight and remarkable ability to get you to recognize your true values and start living your life with authenticity, congruence and on purpose is truly amazing. If you want to take your life and business to the next level, then you should contact Davina now. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

“If it wasn’t for the coaching and team facilitation work with Davina in 2010, I don’t think I would have managed to get my career with BP on track to the extent that the newly appointed CEO had enough belief in me to put me on the succession for CFO.

 

Rather than trying to change me, Davina helped me to understand and capitalise on my strengths as a leader, to navigate the political agenda authentically and built my confidence.

 

Davina was quite tough but gentle at the same time and really pushed me (past comfort zones at times) to explore unknown areas within myself. There I found the belief in a bigger agenda for myself. I saw further than my current situation/employment and to the bigger role I could play in the country.

 

I’m still on a journey and really thank Davina for the caring and encouraging impact she had on my life through quite a challenging period.”

"I can’t speak highly enough about the time I spent with Davina. I had got ‘caught up’ in certain elements of my work and home life. I’d lost focus, got confused, and couldn’t see the wood for the trees. I was in real need of assistance and I’m so grateful that Davina appeared in my life.

 

Davina is a very competent coach. She pushed me, challenged me, made me laugh and made me cry. She got my emotions going. She blew the mist away and allowed me to see with clarity. Davina helped me to see the opportunities for improvement in my life. In addition, I emerged from our time together with tools and techniques that I can go back to when I’m in need.

 

Davina help me to make significant changes that will not only affect the quality of my life experience but that of my wife, my children, my colleagues, my company, etc. It is hard to ignore, and not appreciate, outcomes like that.

 

Thank you Davina."

"Prior to my coaching I didn’t have many specific expectations and was sceptical as to the differences between what coaching would deliver for me verses traditional learning & development / training methods.  I was fantastically enlightened to the world of coaching by Davina and for me; it has been a significant step change in my way of thinking/working.

 

Even if you feel you are very self aware, I would suggest coaching can take this to another very different level, especially with Davina’s unique style. She is calm, gentile, warm, personable and extremely knowledgeable about the theories (yet you don’t necessarily recognise this due to her professional capability to mix methodology in every day conversation).  Yet, don’t think coaching or Davina are a push over, she has the ability to push you when required and take you to places which are outside your normal sphere; although if they don’t work for you, she has no problem moving on to things which resonate more with your style of development.

 

 To this day, I strongly believe I learnt so much, yet was not taught anything.  Davina’s style of open, flowing conversation finds you diving into parts of your own mind, body and soul and before you even know it, you have found inner strength you had no idea was there.

 

Like many I’m sure, coaching for me was a journey and the end of the coaching is just the start to my own personal future development as I put all the experiences and practices in to even more day to day use.

 

Make the most of the sessions and the practical application, one without the other will not work as well I’m sure, you have to put the time in to get the most out; I speak from experience.

 

In short, positively life changing, an exceptional individual (Davina) who for me, was the perfect coach who exceeded my sceptical expectations to a level I could not imagine previously.  Thank you for everything Davina."

“Davina from the start was a fantastic champion who saw qualities in me that I did not openly recognise in myself. Davina enabled me to be open, to stretch and to expand outside of my comfort zone through creating a safe and courageous environment. Her flexibility and spontaneity is a real gift and I always felt she was gently challenging and prodding to be/do more in a very focused manner. Davina is also a wonderful listener and communicator who quickly builds trust. If you are seeking more from your work or wider life and have the opportunity to work with Davina, take it.”
