“What this counselling with you helped me achieve was to be surer of myself and that it was ok to want the things I wanted however grandiose or simple they were. The values exercise was especially revealing. I’m very glad I did it. Thank you!” .

“The HAB was a bit of a revelation to me. My results enabled me to make connections between all the struggles and frustrations I’d had in life, and it explained a lot of my successes too. There were areas that I had strong abilities in that had just never presented themselves to me for multiple reasons – because they weren’t part of my self-perception, because my upbringing didn’t include the opportunity to explore them, because I had noticed a difference in myself versus my peers and thought some were actually weaknesses. The HAB really built my confidence to try new things and trust in myself. Denise’s advice following the assessment was very valuable, she gave me ideas on how to incorporate what I’d found out into my existing career and how to get more out of life. I have been able to plan my career with much better focus, I’m now taking up hobbies to satisfy the abilities that I don’t use at work”.

“I thought the personalized report of the MBTI Assessment was excellent. I got a lot of very insightful tips on maximizing my relationships (business and personal) and productivity which is sure to improve my businesses. In fact, it was so complete that I thought the personal one-on-one session with Denise would mostly be a waste of time. Little did I know what I did not know. The personal session with Denise filled in a lot of gaps and answered questions I did not even know I needed to ask. Suddenly, things that I had read had a whole new level of meaning and understanding.”

“Denise systematically focussed my abilities and interests through several psychometric tests, the results of which were explained thoroughly to me. I now know where my abilities lie and in which direction, I should be heading in. As a graduate it is sometimes very difficult to know what kinds of jobs are available and it is all too easy to take the wrong path. After working with Denise my confidence has soared and now I can really focus on my applications with the knowledge that this career path is the right one for me. Thank you for all your help Denise.”

“Thank you for your help and support and I am sure that completing the Highland Battery helped to give me the confidence to aim for such a senior position. It’s amazing how much others see in you that you don’t see for yourself!”

“I now know what I am naturally good at! Having a scientific base to the results has made it very easy for me to accept the results and have confidence in them. It is a great feeling to finally have a reason for falling short of my expectations. This will allow me to create more sustainable goals I the future to my abilities. Everybody should complete the HAB and MBTI tests. I thoroughly recommended and I will actively promote your services”.

"The transformation Denise achieved for me is remarkable. As a professional with 15+ years of experience, I was struggling to articulate my value in interviews. Denise helped me refocus my approach, enabling me to communicate my extensive experience concisely and effectively. Her coaching was instrumental in securing my new executive role."
