Testimonials
"The Coaching service offered through Sydney Education has been a truly amazing and personally transformative experience. My coach regularly guided me through my own reflection by asking fantastic, thought-provoking questions. Throughout the coaching sessions, I completed a Management Accountability Framework 360 review and the Clifton Strengths Survey, which, together with the skills of my aforementioned coach, genuinely helped me develop both personally and professionally. I not only feel more confident, but also more able to harness and leverage my strengths in my day-to-day life at work and at home.”

"Coaching enabled me to understand my strengths and helped me "find" myself again and "be me". I am much happier in my day to day working life and my personal life - as I am not taking my "issues or concerns" home with me. I can now be the positive role model for junior staff again. Thank you"

"There are many benefits (to having coaching); firstly, conflict resolution, being able to mitigate fears, grief and barriers, and support goal setting and upskilling. The biggest benefit however is having a 'free mind' that leads to being more content and productive in the workplace."

"My experience with the coaching service has been invaluable in so many ways. It was so refreshing to have my strengths highlighted and acknowledged. This was particularly helpful in supporting me to make sense of my thoughts and feelings about work scenarios. Coaching has helped me better understand myself, so I am able to communicate intentionally and mindfully. Consequently, this has had a positive impact on my productivity too. I think accessing coaching would be beneficial to staff members at any stage in their career. I have recommended many colleagues take the time out of their busy weeks to engage with the service for longer term growth and professional development."

"The coaching service provided invaluable support during a challenging time in my workplace when I was dealing with burnout and faced with major career decisions. My coach was incredibly supportive, asking thoughtful questions, helping me reflect on my feelings and thoughts, and giving me the time and space to process everything. Her guidance played a key role in helping me make a decision that I’m genuinely happy with, and I’m excited about this next chapter in my career. I’m deeply grateful for the service and the flexibility in meeting with me when I needed it most. I will always remember her care and guidance. Thank you! I’ve already highly recommended this service to others.”

"I undertook the 360-degree framework survey and completed my coaching sessions last month. I can highly recommend the process as it provides a structured process for reflection and growth; I found my coach to be extremely supportive and adept in allowing me to explore changes in my ways of working and plan for the future; I really appreciated her approach. Thank you to Sydney Local Health District for providing the coaching and to the 360-degree team!"
