“Looking for a complete career change was a very daunting prospect, especially since I never went to university. Trawling through various job agency websites with little success was making me doubt my own skills and ability to do anything different to my current role. After just my first session with Jacqueline I was beginning to realise I had much to offer and it boosted my self-confidence. After not knowing which path to take I have now been offered the perfect role, enabling me to work and learn at the same time. I could not have achieved this without Jacqueline’s help and support, both in and outside of our sessions. She helped me to improve my CV and prepared me incredibly well for interviews, giving me an insight into exactly what employers are looking for. I’m ecstatic and very excited to begin my new role and can’t thank Jacqueline enough for achieving something I never thought I would be able to!”

“I would highly recommend Jacqueline Heron as a presenter. The event she ran for the CFA UK members entitled " A good day at the office - how to build positive pressure and build Resilience " was excellent and the feedback from attendees complimented both her delivery and the content of the presentation. Jacqueline managed to combine both the neuroscientific theory with a multitude of practical steps you can take on a day by day basis to build and maintain your resilience in a fluid and entertaining manner.”

“I contacted Jacqueline after reaching the final stage of assessment where I had been unsuccessful previously. Jacqueline is both professional and personable. We focused specifically on the parts of the assessment that I had struggled with previously in which Jacqueline identified where I needed to improve. She helped me tailor my interview technique and come across confidently in both my competency based interview and group interview task. I found Jacqueline’s coaching absolutely invaluable and would not hesitate to recommend her – with her help I was successful in securing a job in a highly competitive industry after being unsuccessful previously.”

“When considering moving from one position to another during the year after graduating university, I knew that I had little-to-no interview experience and a very outdated CV. During our sessions Jacqueline made me feel at ease enough to really get to discuss at length the kind of environment, company and position I wanted to work in, and from our very first Q&A she helped me to recognise specific skills I already had that would help me to get there. Jacqueline helped me to prepare for position-specific interviews and coached me in how to approach existing contacts and how to make new ones. I have no doubt that I will carry the skills I learnt with Jacqueline into future positions and job hunts, and I’m very grateful for the objective insight she provided during this
stressful period.”

Rory Draper, Executive of Family Office, Luxembourg
“I found Jacqueline to be most adept at helping me structure and provide clarity to “my story” enabling people to better identify what I want them to know about my career and achievements. She helped translate my previous experience into a strategy/consultancy professional skill set and worked at figuring out what types of work I was good at and enjoyed, and what fields and specific job titles would therefore be a good fit. She then helped with rewriting my resume and in particular my profile statement to fit the types of jobs I was seeking and be more accomplishment-oriented. Her honesty, supportive nature, and willingness to help have allowed me to find greater clarity and understanding of both myself, and my career goals. She is highly knowledgeable and expertly motivates, challenges, and supports with a natural style of inspiring and coaching and is very personable. The sessions I spent with Jacqueline ensured that I maintained focus on maximising my potential and achieving the improved performance I was looking for.”

“Jacqueline has been absolutely instrumental in both my personal and career development. Acting as a neutral sounding board, she helped me to find my strengths related to my profession, as well as dealing with difficult conversations in my personal life to achieve my goals. Jacqueline has a real gift for asking the right questions to hone in on what it is you want out of life, providing advice on how you can get there and giving you the confidence to believe you can achieve it (whilst at the same time being realistic!).”

“I spoke to several coaches each of whom I could have worked with, but Jacqueline stood out from the others with her incisive observations and lines of enquiry. We explored a number of themes around relationships with colleagues and communication style. In these sessions there was always an ‘Aha!’ moment when a realisation crystallised and progress was made. The work with Jacqueline has given me the head space to work on my way of thinking and communication style. I’m using this to develop a framework for stakeholder management, and feedback from colleagues indicates that engagements are becoming more effective. Jacqueline has helped me to move onto the next level in my development, and I have no hesitation in recommending her for professional coaching.”

“With an outstanding ability to help steady the mind and guide you through complex and potentially life altering decisions, Jacqueline not only helped me with the topics discussed during our sessions but taught me valuable skills for the future - other ways of approaching situations and techniques to apply to both my work and personal life. Jacqueline encouraged, questioned and challenged skilfully and appropriately, ensuring I independently came to confident decisions and clear courses of action. I would not hesitate to recommend Jacqueline as a coach.”
