“Coaching with Jay was energising. I just felt that more positive and stronger afterwards, and more equipped to deal with life's challenges."

Lexie
Project Manager

"Coaching over shot my expectations. I wasn't expecting to be taken through such a vast journey of self reflection and it's given me the opportunity to see myself evolve and appreciate that. The journey of coaching surprised me, unpacking certain elements was really good and breaking down barriers into bitesize chunks, and then establishing actions that I could take to improve situations without someone telling me what I should do. I think coaching has helped me with my job and how I am as a project manager. I realised that I'm more emotionally aware than I was before and I think it has helped me to look at my fundamental core skills, strengths and values, and be able to support other people too as I've been through this journey myself. I think my confidence has grown in respect of knowing my values and strengths."

Pooja,
Project Manager

"It was during a 30 minute discovery call with Jay that I knew the Navigation Project Group Coaching programme was for me. I connected with Jay during the call and I knew we would build on that connection through coaching. Jay uses research to inform her work and this was exactly what I was looking for in a coach. Jay is approachable and compassionate in her work, but I feel she also knows when her coachees need a little nudge. She is very easy to talk and connect with, but you also know what you are discussing is confidential. Confidentiality is very important to me, and Jay is very reassuring on this side of things. I loved how Jay facilitates the group coaching sessions and the 1-to-1 sessions. Each different type of session has its merits and is effective depending on what you want to get out of coaching. I have seen myself grow and others have also commented on it as I have been working with Jay. I can’t wait to see where we get to in the future."

"Jay is a very professional coach, who dedicates her time and full attention to the client. She challenged my thinking, held me to account, and always sought to ensure that actions I had achieved were celebrated. Coaching with Jay has has allowed me the time and space to challenge my current way of thinking, and having someone there to challenge me has made me realise that nothing is impossible. She provides support and challenge through her use of highly skilled questioning. I felt so comfortable to work with her from the very first time we spoke as she empathises and listens with interest."

Programme Manager

"So far, I’ve felt like I’ve been sleepwalking through my career and recently I lost who I was. I’m on a journey to find out what is important to me and be more me. The course with Jay was brilliant!!! It was in bitesize challenges which each time pushed me slightly out of my comfort zone but also feel supported and energised. Her style is to provide information and context to each challenge and take you through a journey. The Wheel of Life was interesting - it's on my wall behind my computer and a perfect reminder of what’s most important to me. The circle of control was really interesting because I was in a bad place and I almost needed the circle to write it out and process through writing."

Emma,
Paralegal

"Had I not done all that work with Jay, I would never have even looked at law – I’d have written it off completely. I now have a bit of fire back. I was at rock bottom in my career and I couldn't make a decision about what to do. Now I have a completely different attitude towards everything. I've got direction and clarity and I know it's in the direction that is true to my values and what I am skilled at. I'm just so glad I had this coaching experience because I don't think without it, I would ever have had the courage to make this decision."

Louise
Freelance Project Manager

“I’ve always felt like I’ve had to prove myself to be worthy of something and doing the deep dive coaching session with Jay has reminded me that I do have strengths and that I don’t have to be a certain way to be successful, I can be successful in my own way. In a year of total uncertainty and sometimes complete despair, I was introduced to Jay and I have had such an amazing and insightful experience so far and I am excited about the future.”

"I don’t think I would be where I am now without the coaching, it has definitely helped me with everything that went on – it’s been a surreal few years and it was good to have Jay holding me accountable. I was feeling afloat and not feeling like I was being challenged at work. A lack of clear boundaries was preventing me from taking the next step both personally and professionally. I just felt overwhelmed and constantly guilty, and COVID and ill health meant I felt like had lost myself. I now feel more in control and confident within myself and more in charge of my life. The fear isn't there so much. I feel a lot more connected to the decisions I am making and I'm able to challenge more. I just feel more myself and I'm dealing with things in a much healthier way."

Corporate & Business Clients

"Jay played a leading change-role in helping IBC introduce its staff to a more agile approach. In particular her positivity and empathy helped the senior team stay aligned with the wider IBC team during a period of change driven by new tech. Jay showed great skill and I recommend her approach."

Michael, CEO IBC

“Jay was very personable and took the time to understand each of the team members. Prior to the session, Jay took time to understand the team and really ensure the training delivered was tailored to the needs of the group. What was great it Jay was able to navigate and pivot the training based on the team morale and mood"

Shruti Saujani, Engagement Lead, England and Wales Cricket Board

Speaking Engagements

"The Ops Nest keeps getting Jay back, firstly to talk about resilience, and more recently to start talking about rebuilding – ourselves, our teams and our industry. After every session, our members speak of just how great it has been listening and learning. The best way I can describe it is that we’ve been wrapped up in a big therapeutic rug for an hour connecting with the fundamentals that make us tick, helping us to understand what is within our power to change."

Lou Kiwanuka, Founder The Ops Nest
