What people said about HG coaching:

"Renée has a unique ability to raise a client's awareness of both left and right brain (IQ and EQ) qualities and the major benefits of the integration of the two.  Such an integral approach appears to be a critical success factor in leadership/personal development in order to be in tune with the accelerating complexity of the business environment.  Personal effectiveness can be significantly enhanced by this integral approach, as the energy, typically wasted in being "stressed-out", can be constructively applied in business endeavours and shaping a sustainable future."

"1. The coaching was bespoke, rather than a general programme. As such, we were able to quickly focus on the areas where I believed I would extract most benefit, validated by the answers to the Human Givens questionnaire. Hence, a very efficient use of time.
2. 'Leadership courses' offer general off-the-shelf leadership training. They could be viewed as a 'Shell clone development scheme'. The Human Givens programme on the other hand asks soul-searching questions that make you think more about your behaviour from a personal perspective. The difference is that the leadership development comes from within the individual, not from a textbook or model.
3. I learned some very useful tools to help with specific areas. For example, the use of questioning when dealing with conflict, team building tools, relaxation exercises for dealing with stress. These are all practical things that can be easily implemented, and will certainly help my leadership and management style.
4. Our sessions were also helpful to reinforce positive leadership behaviours."

"It fills a void in the personal development training.
Why am I positive about the Human Givens approach? Sessions are non judgemental and give you the tools and skills to be able to handle situations and difficult issues. This helps reduce anxiety and negative energy that can be channelled into more productive work, it helps with learning to trust oneself more and to understand your inner strengths when in difficult situations. It also helps you explore the bigger picture and allows a gradual realisation of the solution, rather than drilling further down into problems."

"I enjoyed the sessions very much. I felt quite sensitive and thoughtful about it all afterwards. I have definitely become less sensitive towards previously perceived injustice, and this helps me to relax. I have also felt more tolerant towards others not necessarily having a good day either, a principle that I think is easy to extend to one's family and friends, but often is less likely to be applied to someone at work or particularly in a position of authority. It is important to remember the human factor in all things, which can be easily forgotten I suppose."
