Testimonials

One to one Coaching

Margaret - Global HR Director (Growing self-confidence, managing imposter syndrome)

"What was a very painful career timeline session with Henny has already paid off. I’m giving a 30 minute ‘inspiration’ speech to our first group of women on our brand new women’s development programme and I find myself so enthusiastic and positive about what I can bring to the speech because of the work we did! I do believe I needed to exorcise a few demons to allow me to be able to tell my story with joy and pride and am so grateful for the help Henny gave - amazing coaching.”

Dale - Team Leader (Developing self-belief, role transition)

"Kerry is a skilled and knowledgeable coach – she is empathic, mindful, astute and has an incredible awareness of others. I started our first session feeling overwhelmed and didn’t know where to start in achieving what seemed like a mammoth goal. Kerry and I quickly built rapport and trust; she wholeheartedly invested in our sessions and I felt she really wanted the best outcomes for me. When I drifted or lacked self-belief Kerry reminded me of my original goal that helped me stay on track. She recognised when I became stuck and helped me unravel the issue and regain clarity. She really listened and asked challenging questions that sharpened my thinking and helped me work through some difficult decisions. I particularly enjoyed the strength’s and values work we did because it made me feel strong, confident, energised and uplifted.Kerry created an environment where I could take time to think, explore my options but always pinned me down to actions to keep me moving forward.  By the end of each session I was very clear about my next steps and motivated that I was making progress. As a result of my coaching sessions with Kerry I now feel I have a clear sense of direction and plan for the future. I would highly recommend Kerry as a coach. " 

Katie - Business Founder (Growing clarity, business focus)

"Working with Henny across three sessions brought about life changing results for me. It wasn’t easy – far more challenging than I anticipated as I think on reflection I wanted someone to give me the answers. In retrospect the important thing is to trust Henny and her process. I can honestly say I feel happier and clearer than I have for a long time and know how to use the coaching sessions in the future to keep me on track.”

Sophie - Operations Leader (Building confidence, career transition) 

“Imtiyaz was able to bring me back to life in not only in helping me to realise my own worth but in relighting the fire in my belly for leadership and strategic plan of how to accomplish. So much so that I surpassed my original career plans and landed something even bigger. The coaching he provides is like putting together a puzzle, each session a new piece would fit into place for me and now I know how the pieces fit together I can apply it to any new situations. You can go in looking for an answer to a question and by then end of the session you realise Taz has facilitated the session in such a way that you’ve answered it yourself.  He is able to help you unlock the potential within yourself in such a way that it inspires such confidence to go after whatever it is that is that you are striving for be it career orientated or personal.”

Tina - Business Manager (Managing career and transition)

“I worked with Imtiyaz for 6 months as part of a Leadership Development Programme at Aviva. Imtiyaz is an excellent coach, facilitator and trainer. I found Imtiyaz's coaching style exactly what I needed; supportive, understanding and empathetic but also challenging and encouraging action. He really helped me to channel my development needs and come up with solutions to drive change in myself and my team. I highly recommend Imtiyaz as a coach and/or facilitator for leadership programmes and development.”

Team Coaching

Jon - EMEA Leader (Developing high performance, growing awareness)

The Proposal: Jon asked us to create a development programme to grow interpersonal awareness across his remote European team. Working closely with each team member, we provided 1:1 coaching sessions and motivational analysis as a basis to design and facilitate a team session. The aim for the group was to identify strategies to further build team collaboration.

Client Feedback: “Parity Executive Coaching delivered a session for my team on Growing Awareness – Developing High Performing Teams.  Having experienced two years of disrupted/hybrid working I wanted everyone on the team to understand their own motivators and demotivators as part of growing self-awareness and also inter-team awareness.  Kerry and Joy were highly responsive, extremely knowledgeable and brought together scientific research, extensive experience and personal accounts of situations where common challenges/opportunities exist.  My team all found this a highly valuable use of time and are actively applying their learning currently, leading to greater team cohesion and understanding.”

Pascale - Global Leader (Develop well-being for well-working)

The Proposal: Microsoft approached us to design and facilitate a series of interactive wellbeing group sessions for their global leadership team. We worked together to create content to support individual wellbeing, mindful leadership and team collaboration. We created an informal space for action learning and reflection. The aim was for the group to leave the session with refreshed personal strategies to support their wellbeing for well-working.

Client Feedback: “The team has now had two highly valued wellbeing sessions with Kerry and Henny. At a time where workplace wellbeing has been stretched on every front due to COVID, taking time out to connect as a team and focus on the importance of mental and physical health has never been more important. While taking a team afternoon off is a significant time investment, I can honestly say that it has been well worth it! With sessions designed to understand the importance of balance, how to manage our human reaction to situations, share relaxation techniques, and then provide practical, pragmatic tips on how to integrate these into our lives so that they become second nature is critical to changing behaviours for the long term. With team feedback scores of 4.6 out of 5 consistent over the two sessions, I know that my team is really getting value from the time spent with Kerry and Henny. We love their approach to session delivery tailored to exactly meet our needs, their delivery is exceptional and worked very well in a virtual environment. I would not hesitate to recommend Parity wellbeing events to anyone who wants to help keep their teams healthy and focused through a balanced approach that helps them manage today’s stressful work environments.”
