I would recommend the Sandler Lanz coaches unreservedly.

The range and quality of the input from Catherine, Kate and their team has been second to none in making a real difference to the skills and motivation of the leadership team of our market-leading £2.6 billion business.

Catherine has a formidable intellect, and is also a very good judge of people. She clearly has a great range and depth of experience that she can draw on to help those she is coaching.

I would highlight the personal concern shown by Catherine and Kate's executive coaches for their clients. I have been pleased to award them work.

Through challenge, discussion and feedback and the expertise of my coach I developed a more sophisticated understanding of what outstanding leadership is. Consequently I became a credible contender for a Board position and, following promotion, was far more effective in my new role.

Working with Kate has been career transforming. Her approach was nuanced and subtle. The feedback she collected from my colleagues was artfully extracted and then gently delivered back to me. I continue to use her advice to this day.

The Sandler Lanz team's success in the coaching of our executives is based on its practical and pragmatic approach, supported by exceptional psychological expertise.

Our senior executive group now demonstrate much greater self-awareness as a consequence of the development workshops they have been through with Catherine, Kate and their team, while individual coaching has lifted their self-confidence and strengthened their ability to lead others most effectively.

Kate was absolutely sensational, intuitive, thoughtful and – where needed – challenging.

The Sandler Lanz coaching team have made sure that they gained a full understanding of the organisational structure of the business and have kept up to date on a weekly basis on its commercial progress.

We have been tremendously fortunate to link up with people such as yourselves who have built an understanding of our business which has made the rapport something quite special.

Executive coaching with Sandler Lanz has accelerated my development – I found that the inherent discipline of reflecting on my achievements in the role regularly enabled me to quickly identify what had worked well and build on this.

Catherine and Kate's methodology – particularly working through personality type – has helped to build a cohesive senior team in the Division…their work is now being extended to the Group Board.
