'I worked with Erica for two years when she was the Regional Manager South West for CPPIH. In any given management situation she is quick to assess the underlying issues and dynamics. Erica is extremely comfortable working in group environments and is an excellent facilitator. Her leadership and people skills are highly developed and, even after the government announcement which signalled the abolition of the organisation, her team were motivated and constructive. She has an innate understanding of people and an empathetic approach combined with the drive to achieve results even in challenging circumstances.'
Fiona Wood, Former Director of Operations (South), CPPIH

'Erica is a very experienced manager, motivated to build capacity both corporately and individually. She has a track record in leading engagement and participation, and it is her interest in this area that has taken her into NLP and personal development. She is a sensitive and reflective listener, whilst remaining professionally objective and focused as a coach.'
Elaine Green, HR Management Consultant, Former Chair of Peter Bedford HA

'Erica's coaching had an immediate effect on my self-confidence in a work and interview environment. We all harbour negative beliefs about our abilities, that we have built up over the years, which stop us achieving all the wonderful things we could do with our lives. They block us, hold us back, make us neutral or negative at work and in our daily lives. Erica helped me focus on these negative self-beliefs, helped me hold them up to the light, take a good long look at their lack of substance and then watch them disintegrate! Goodbye neutral!

'I genuinely felt lighter about life, free to express myself, happier and, of course, more effective. I now have the confidence to be myself and act with confidence and vitality. Also, having suffered job interview nerves and stress for years I attended an interview the day after a breakthrough coaching session and found it enjoyable, and I was told I had made an extremely good impression and was offered the position. Although the "little demons" do pop up again of course, you can do a quick questioning session on them in your mind, as we did during coaching, and blast them again.'

'Just before Christmas I said "OK, I want to stop eating chocolate!" Erica took me through a simple visualisation process and my desire for chocolate completely disappeared. We are almost in April and I have not so much had a square of chocolate and even curl my lip at chocolate chip cookies. As an ex-chocoholic I decided to get Erica's help in stopping smoking. This took longer but worked beautifully. Throughout the whole process Erica was great and the result simply amazing. The only downside is that I feel like a fraud - it should take more effort!'

'Coaching helped save my career … in helping me to recognise my skills which gave me the ability to use them with confidence.'
