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.

It has been an absolute privilege working with Zoe  over the past several months. She is a delight to work with and her commitment, hard work and dedication are inspiring. She is at the same time incredibly intelligent, self- reflective and insightful, empathetic and sensitive and caring of others. She appears to relish taking on difficult challenges and is able to influence people to bring out the absolute best from them. Zoe is willing to take people to a different level and I have learned a lot from her throughout our time together.

I would highly recommend Zoe to any organisation. Zoe is well-organised, totally dependable, trustworthy and always brings a positive attitude to her work. She is well-liked and respected in the construction industry. Zoe will always go the extra mile to ensure the best result and her energy and enthusiasm have always been appreciated.

Zoe helped us tremendously when our business was facing extreme financial pressure. We cannot recommend her enough, her understanding of our needs was paramount and she liaised on our behalf with both suppliers, local council and solicitors. We shall forever be grateful for her efforts over the last four months

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.

Zoe is highly professional with a wide range of skills around business including HR, project management, operations and customer delivery. Her stand out expertise is sales and developing people, starting from training through to sales management and product development. She has a knack for getting under the surface and finding out what makes people tick, then using different strategies to get the best out of them and building a high performing team.

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!

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’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”
