Helping you to work smarter not harder

Zoe has been my mentor for the last 5 years. Zoe has a sales background so she was able to teach me the importance of customer service and how to approach different situations, its true to begin with I was a bit of a cheeky chappy with everyone I came in contact with but Zoe taught me that this would not always work well with everyone and the need to adapt my approach  Zoe has been instrumental in not allowing me to fail in stepping it up and managing others. I am now Branch Manager at 26 and feel so proud of what I have achieved but realise none of this would have been possible without Zoe’s help and guidance.

The coaching and mentoring sessions have been really helpful . They gave us the chance to step back and look at things more clearly and we have picked up practical ideas that we can implement within our business. The support and advice have been very encouraging, and it helped us feel more confident about the direction we need to take. Zoe made the whole experience very relaxed and enjoyable.

I feel we have really benefited from the coaching sessions. It;s been a great opportunity to talk through our ideas and challenges and get honest, helpful advice. The sessions have given us a new look on things and helped us to focus on what we need to do going forward.

I had the pleasure of working with Zoe when we were both involved with a project within Tarmac. I found Zoe to demonstrate the skills of an excellent project manager. She has great communication skills and was able to convey some challenging messages to both clients and team members. She demonstrates leadership and vision and is highly organised and efficient. Her background in sales also means that she is adept at negotiating and her experience of managing and leading teams was a bonus to the group. In summary I found her to be highly trustworthy, motivated and tenacious.

Zoe was my Business Coach for the last 3 years. I ran a small garage and was very competent at fixing vehicles but will be the first to admit I knew nothing about running a business. Zoe provided processes and advised me on rules of being compliant as a business, she also helped me with my marketing and social media to make others aware of my business and what I offer. We spent some time talking about the business and the work that was profitable for me and how to do more of that. We discussed some challenges I had too in dealing with certain situations and I found this useful as Zoe not only encourages you to explore options but helps you with how to go about making it happen.

We have used Zoe for the last 5/6 years and she always goes above and beyond to understand your business. We are proud to be associated with Zoe and her help with coaching of our apprenticeship scheme. Zoe is of a supportive nature and we will certainly remain doing business with her as she believes in helping businesses and understands our ethos

Zoe was recommended to us by a mutual business contact to deliver coaching to a member of the management team to enable them to perform at their best. The member of staff found the support from Zoe very enabling and empowering, giving them confidence to tackle some difficult issues which had become a source of concern.  Zoe’s very approachable manner makes her incredibly easy to deal with, but don’t expect an easy time as she expects high standards and makes sure you give the input required to achieve them.  The whole team and business has benefitted from Zoe’s knowledge and expertise and we would definitely recommend her for supportive coaching which achieves results.

I engaged Zoe as my life coach to help me with some anger and emotional issues that I was struggling with .. I found her to be very professional and she has a calm and non judgmental approach to her coaching . I found that she gave me quite ‘ lightbulb’ moments of thoughts that I had never considered before and this helped me to think differently at many points when I was about to ‘ lose it’ over some issues with people and situations.. it is always good to be open to new ideas and methods of expanding your mind and ways to handle your inner turmoils . I highly recommend Zoe as someone to encourage ‘a better version of yourself’ which is exactly what I was endeavouring to achieve with this lady . 

“Zoe’s advice and help was invaluable to me from our first meeting. It was great to meet someone that talks my language as we have many synergies working in construction and it was useful to find a coach that actually runs a business so therefore understands some of the challenges. Zoe and I spent some time talking about finding the ideal client for my project management consultancy business”

I was coached by Zoe over a period of six months using 2 hour monthly sessions. I think it is important to find a cadence which works for you in your sessions but feel this gave a good balance  of time to try to implement some of the strategies discussed before coming back to debrief on what worked and what didn’t. Zoe is a kind and generous coach who really takes time to get to know her clients to enable her to use their strengths to work on the target areas identified for the coaching. As with any coaching you will get more out the more you bring to the table but Zoe’s positive and gentle attitude encourages a spirit of openness within the room in confidence of total discretion. Her experience and her self- motivated training lead her to have the tools that she needs to be a very successful coach.

Working with Zoe has greatly accelerated my personal and professional development and has increased my team’s performance year on year by an impressive 35%. 

We have increased our market share in key areas and have a better understanding of our customers and where further growth will come by using customer profiling and targeting accounts better. With the support of my company, I was given the chance to work with Zoe for 12 months and I use the Zoe’s methods and processes every day from the simplest of tasks, such as presenting to a team and remembering to ‘start well’ through to creating a strategy. Whether you invest in ZG Executive Coaching as an individual or as a business, it’s a great investment and highly recommend anyone looking to grow to contact Zoe!
