Jani has challenged me to come up with my own answers and strategies. After exploring the big picture, she helps me identify tangible steps to make improvements happen. I recommend Jani and the Sandler coaches without reservation.
We have been tremendously fortunate to link up with people such as yourselves who have built an understanding of our business which has made the rapport something quite special.
Working with Ailsa was invaluable, she helped me refine my natural style to maximise my impact in a variety of different situations.
Gerry took me out of my comfort zone and challenged me using different perspectives. He opened my mind to different avenues and ways of thinking. He helped me clarify my career options...As a result of the coaching, I have a better work / life balance, which has had a positive impact on my work.
The range and quality of the input from Catherine and her team has been second to none in making a real difference to the skills and motivation of the leadership team of our market-leading £2.6 billion business.
Jon was relentless in keeping me on track...with his help I have been really able to address the issues that were preventing my development. In terms of the impact, I can feel the growth in myself. This was also commented on by my line manager and reflected in my end of year rating.
Through challenge, discussion and feedback and the expertise of my Sandler Consulting coach I became a credible contender for a Board position and, following promotion, was far more effective in my new role.
Catherine combines sensitivity with clarity and straightforwardness - a winning combination! Her ability to absorb information, culture, issues, individuals' needs is stunning and I have been continuously amazed at her grasp of company matters.
Rachel's insightful and challenging coaching style was exactly what I needed to come to terms with issues I was struggling with. The sessions helped me to reach a crucial career decision and her continued support allowed me to follow this through.
The Sandler coaching team have made sure that they gained a full understanding of the organisational structure of the business and have kept up to date on a weekly basis on its commercial progress.
My leadership effectiveness has changed dramatically since working with Jani, which has been noticed by my team, line manager and peers. I've been promoted twice and have led a declining area of our business into growth.
I have found Jon's coaching invaluable. It helped me step back from immediate priorities and take a more strategic view. The level of challenge and insight Jon provided has been pitched at exactly the right level. Overall, the coaching has far exceeded my expectations.

Catherine has a formidable intellect, and is also a very good judge of people. She clearly has a great range and depth of experience that she can draw on to help those she is coaching.
Rachel's coaching helped me to excel in a period of transition - as a result I was able to chart a course to the top team where I now sit. The work we did enabled me to be strategic while working at full pelt and played a significant part in my success.
Catherine and her team's methodology - particularly working through personality type - has helped to build a cohesive senior team in the Division...their work is now being extended to the Group Board.
My SME's growth was being limited by its ineffective historical structure and its managers' lack of management ability. As a result of Catherine and her team's effective coaching we restructured, upskilled, and saw our firm unlock its potential to grow significantly in revenue and profitability.
The investment in coaching with Catherine has paid for itself many times over. I can highly recommend working with Sandler Consulting from both a self-development and a bottom line results basis.
Catherine's razor-sharp insights helped me to decode some difficult situations and develop strategies to tackle them with assurance. She is incisive, strategic, savvy and shrewd - not afraid to challenge yet very supportive. I also found her fun to work with and very human.
