I’ve worked with Oakridge’s coach over the last six months to further develop my leadership abilities and help me focus on some key aspects of my leadership approach that I wanted to improve. My Oakridge coach had an inclusive, positive focused style of coaching which allowed me to explore some challenging situations in a supportive one-to-one environment. Working with her provided me with the opportunity to reconnect with some aspects of my leadership style that I was not making the most of and to come away from our time spent together, feeling more energised and future-focused, ready to take on more challenging opportunities – which I subsequently have been able to do. I would definitely recommend Oakridge’s coaching offering if you have the opportunity to work with them. Head of Digital Learning, Nottingham Trent University
I met Oakridge’s coach a couple of years ago and had the great pleasure of working with Oakridge for a year on my personal development and career planning. The coach was warm, engaging and made me feel at ease immediately. Oakridge’s professional coaching knowledge is extensive, and they were thoroughly prepared always with the resources they share for the duration of our coaching journey. The exercises I had with Oakridge’s coach prepared me to push myself out of my comfort zone and learn about myself. As a result of the great coaching, I took control of my development, was more empowered to network with purpose and I was able to articulate my passion to others.

Oakridge’s coach is an extremely competent coach, who I have worked with as a participant on a leadership development programme. Her coaching style is very supportive and she makes a real effort to understand the environment and challenges of the person she is coaching. Oakridge is excellent at assessing performance, spotting gaps, and providing effective tools to enable leaders to make a step-change. This appropriate use of tools and techniques instills confidence and unlocks the potential of the person they are coaching. My coach had a very purposeful and targeted approach which was instrumental in enabling me to successfully influence the right stakeholders within my organisation. This, in turn, allowed me to deliver multimillion-dollar value through the implementation of an industry-leading solution. Director, AstraZeneca
Oakridge’s coach is an excellent personal coach and consultant on management practice. Having worked with large and small organisations at senior managerial and board level, she has a broad perspective of business practice, implementing change, and approaches to personal development that I have found invaluable. I would recommend Oakridge very strongly in particular to anyone looking for excellent 1:1 coaching. Vice President, AstraZeneca
I have known Oakridge’s coach for several years. It is always a pleasure to work with her: I have found Oakridge to have the highest standards of personal integrity, professionalism, and expertise in creating the right climate for people development to be really effective. Oakridge is also highly personable; this helps in building a strong relationship quickly, and in turn, that helps the coach to better get to the core of the issues and context of those she is working with.
