Client testimonials

I think your impact was extermely important at a critical time - allowed the team a safe and secure space to get to know each other in a focussed way, where we could share our foibles and highlight the positives. That professional rapport has stood us in very good stead over the past few years. The session held with you as we brought a new member into the team was also very positive and bringing Lesley into the team has been a huge success. I think that you trained us to really focus on strengths, and how the team members could complement each other - that each had value. It was a very deep learning experience for all of us. In addition, the personal work you carried out with individuals increased their self-confidence and allowed them to contribute more to the team, to recognise behaviours which were not positive for themselves or for the team. One in particular, I believe, became a better manager through your contribution - he has really contributed enormously over the past couple of years, his own team have all developed also and are very strong players now in the library.

Mary McLuskey is a unique coach.  She has the ability to put you immediately at ease and makes discussing any issue, business or personal seem the most natural thing to do.  Mary’s ability to probe issues is a neutral yet challenging way has helped me on numerous occasions to identify ways forward that I would not otherwise have found.  Her style of coaching appears disarmingly simple yet she has a powerfully persuasive ability to get you to look at the heart of the matter and come to solutions that you might otherwise overlook or dismiss.

Mary McLuskey stands out from other coaches I've used in that she is an active listener who is good at finding the underlying issues rather than simply the obvious ones.  She is good at suggesting a range of solutions, thus leading clients towards those that suit them.  I greatly valued her ability to analyse the problem and to be challenging in her suggestions of solutions, never falling back on stock solutions.  I believe that I am now better at analysing situations myself, so that her impact is far-reaching.
