Founder of GRIP Corporate Coaching 

Coaching is a dynamic process of change that is unique to the individual. The progress we show from former clients is an indication of the results you can achieve with coaching, however, coaching is not a "done for you" service. Therefore, your progress may look different from others, however, it will be entirely appropriate given your individual needs and goals. Our mission is to present our research and insights into both personal and professional coaches so you can make an informed decision. Each coach that has a hosted Credible Coach webpage has agreed to be continuously held accountable by instilling a continuous feedback loop. Credibility is established by examining a coach's past client success, their experience, training, and the ethics of their sales and marketing techniques. Because the coaching industry is largely unregulated, anyone can make unsubstantiated claims without any accountability. We create a barrier to entry and make the process easier and more transparent for anyone interested in hiring a coach..

Coaching is unlocking your potential to maximise your own performance. It is more often helping you to learn rather than teaching you. As experts in behaviour change, coaches help leaders more accurately examine their weak points, gain better perspective about their abilities and how to better make use of them. It can help those in leadership positions learn how to empower themselves and those of their teams. Everyone has unique strengths and abilities -- a coach can help you tap into your core values so so can reach your full potential.

 If you are a new leader or an existing leader in transition and would like to feel more confident in your role and how you interact with your team, Lisa's coaching will be extremely beneficial for you.

LinkedIn

What was your biggest challenge prior to working with Lisa?
My biggest challenge was struggling with my current career direction and low self-esteem.

What changed after working with Lisa?
Working with Lisa gave me some great ways to understand and overcome, my current career direction dilemma and low self-esteem.

What specific results can you share?
We evaluated my previous roles and careers to identify what I liked and disliked and what skills and behaviours I had grown and developed. Then identifying what I would like out of my next role and where can this role be obtainable. Addressing then how I would look to apply for a potential role and what steps I could take to ensure success.

What would you say to someone on the fence about purchasing Lisa's services?
It has benefited me in my professional and personal life. It has provided me with a better understanding of myself and how I can overcome future problems that I may face in the next role or career and then being able to put in place what I was taught by Lisa, to ensure success.

What drew you to Lisa's services?
Lisa was running the My Coach Academy at the company we worked at together. I saw her do a presentation about the power of coaching one day and I was hooked. She has an incredible way of building instant rapport with people.

What challenges did you have prior to working with Lisa?
I wasn’t sure if coaching was right for me and if I had the magic to become a coach myself.

What changes after working with Lisa?
I am now halfway through my coaching accreditation and have coached lots of people in the process. She helped me to see that I can do anything I want to achieve, I just have to believe in myself.

What specific results can you share?
After one coaching session with Lisa, I had signed up with the coaching academy, built up a few clients and started working on the theoretical side of understanding coaching.

What would you say to someone on the fence about purchasing Lisa's services?
Lisa really helped me to see past all the negative self chat I had about not being “good enough” and encouraged me to give it a go. I would say try it and if it works for you then you have gained a lot, if it doesn’t you have only given up an hour of your time.

What drew you to Lisa's services?
Our company regularly holds forums for people managers (usually 3 x 1-day sessions per year). In one of these, they mentioned coaching, the benefits of it along the fact that the company would support these services if people wanted to use them. I was a little uncertain and may be sceptical about it as I’d not done anything like that before. I did however recognise that I was really busy at work to the point that on some days I didn’t feel I’d really achieved anything. I reached out to Lisa see what the coaching could offer and took it from there.

What was your biggest challenge prior to working with Lisa?
I was struggling to manage my time effectively (managing at the time 14 people directly). I also felt pressured with a variety of activities, deadlines etc and often felt it difficult to say no to others in the senior leadership team.

What changed after working with Lisa?
Through the coaching sessions (4 in total) I was able to get to the bottom of the issues. I likened it to peeling back layers from an onion, strange I know, but each session explored a little further into what made me function rather than just task-orientated prioritisation.

What specific results can you share?
Each session culminated with creating a small action plan to test and learn from some changes. It made me challenge existing ways of working and build confidence that I had the opportunity to create a change so I could be more effective. Following the coaching sessions, I was able to focus on some key goals and structure my time more effectively, I was confident in the delegation of the task along with challenging others but doing so with respect and honesty.

What would you say to someone on the fence about purchasing Lisa's services?
This was my first time at coaching and would explore this again. For anyone unsure I would say give it go, embrace the time to focus on yourself and using Lisa’s help to understand what you can do differently. It will feel strange trying to take a step back from the chaos of the day to day but the fact you’ve thought about coaching suggests it’s something that you would benefit from. Lisa is a very engaging individual who respects that you may not feel fully comfortable with the process at first but she asks some simple questions to help build the picture of the support you need. Ultimately it's down to you but Lisa can really help facilitate some deep learning to make a difference

What drew you to Lisa's services?
Feeling a sense I needed to establish what my personal brand was to help me widen my network and find my next career move.

What was your biggest challenge prior to working with Lisa?
My own confidence and self-criticism

What changed after working with Lisa?
My confidence came back and I felt so much more focused and clear about what I needed to do and what career direction I wanted.

What specific results can you share?
I’m more career-focused and have been able to widen my network internally. I’ve been really open about my personal brand journey with Lisa and this has actually really helped me raise my profile.

What would you say to someone on the fence about purchasing Lisa's services?
It’s been the best career investment I’ve ever made and I got real value for the money I spent. I now look at Lisa as my personal career coach.

What drew you to Lisa's services?
I had previously worked in the same company as Lisa so felt connected and had really enjoyed her LinkedIn content over lockdown.

What challenges did you have prior to working with Lisa?
Proactively chose coaching support to help me make my biggest career move to date, intention to be the best version of myself, without imposter syndrome and the move having a personal impact on me.

What changes after working with Lisa?
The job transition has been the smoothest it possibly could be despite changing company, seniority and people managing for the first time. The most confident I have been in my career and achieving fantastic results.

What specific results can you share?
Lisa supported me to make the biggest impact I could moving onto Leadership role (nominated for various internal awards due to impact), helped me work through specific challenges on people management (highest engagement result within accounts team and team engaged with PDPs despite facing into some stretching feedback) and supported my continued journey on confidence in self and self worth (no tears during transition!).

What would you say to someone on the fence about purchasing Lisa's services?
Coaching is an investment into yourself to be the best version of you in and out of work, it really helped to have somebody who is on your side with no ties to the place you work so you don't have to 'sugar coat'. Lisa is open, approachable, fun to work with and you feel safe and encouraged to be vulnerable. I really enjoyed the little messages on the side to keep encouraging me or she became my go to person to share a challenge/success in between sessions.

Over 650 private coaching schools exist around the world, offering training in a variety of coaching methods. Some courses can be completed online in a few hours without any end assessment; others require hundreds of coaching hours and supervision. At the bottom on the page we've included a list of the professional bodies and coaching registers that exist to promote professional coaching standards globally.

We initially collect proof of coaches' training certificates, conduct an online and background check, and probe deep into the areas where their past clients most likely reside to find their feedback too. We then personally gather feedback from past clients and do further research on those types of clients to discover who works best with the coach and what they are recommended for.

We want to give you all the information you need to make an informed decision. The industry has become more advanced in terms of sales and marketing, so it can be difficult to know who is providing quality work and who isn't. We'll only work with coaches who provide proof of their claims, which have been checked and verified by our team. We want to protect you and ensure you only work with coaches who stand out from the crowd by providing exceptional coaching experiences to their clients. 

Yes, this is why each coach has a link to our website, not a PDF report. As a result, we can continually ensure that coaches are held to a high standard and maintain a continuous feedback loop. If a complaint is received, we will investigate it immediately.

It is our role to research and present our findings objectively. We aren't affiliated with any particular coaching body or school. By doing so, we remain impartial.
