What others say....
Caroline Roberts, Head of People and Talent, Leisure Sector
Elizabeth is a simply wonderful coach. Easy to work with. Commercial. Insightful. But what is really fabulous is that she challenges. She challenges with respect, but she offers the alternative view that we all need and often don't have. I would love to work with her in the future and unhesitatingly recommend her.
Gordon Neilly, Managing Director, Financial Services
I thoroughly enjoyed and benefitted from our coaching. Elizabeth has a tremendous ability to listen and identify the key issues...and I certainly valued her insight and benefitted from her wisdom.
Sarah Wilkinson, CIO, Global Investment Bank
It is a real privilege to work with Elizabeth. Her coaching is supportive and challenging in appropriate measures, and as a result she is very effective in encouraging rigorous thought. But, critically, and most powerfully, her coaching is routed in a very kind and caring personal relationship which she nurtures from the outset and which creates a warmth and trust that enables a very open dialogue. time with Elizabeth is embolding and highly effective, as well as being great fun. I can't recommend her enough.

Michela Beltracchi, Senior Advisor Regulatory Affairs, Energy Sector
Working with Elizabeth is an utter delight. As importantly, she has helped with all challenges related to onbooarding, from establishing a solid understanding between me and my line manager and colleagues, to negotiating clear, useful and fulfilling objectives for my role and preparing for my six month review. She also provides great coaching to manage potential communication and coordination issues arising from the fact that I work for a lean, fast growing organisation based in the US – 6 hours and a few thousand miles away. Elizabeth is providing me with tools that will help me throughout my career, such as communication, influencing and negotiation techniques. And, last but not least, she is helping me nurture a skill I quite lack: the ability to see the glass half-full rather than half-empty!
Susana Gomez Smith, Trustee/NED, Corporate Governance, Financial Services
Elizabeth is an extraordinary Coach, very experienced and extremely professional. She is very perceptive and quick to understand with minimum information how complex environments work and capable to assist you to find clarity on how to direct your actions towards the achievement of your goals.
Anita Kemp, Head of Strategy, Planning and Performance, County Council
Her questioning and understanding carefully navigated me through my own thinking processes, patterns and core beliefs. Consistently driving towards the goals we set at the start of our coaching contract. Her warm unjudging professional manner made it easy to seamlessly engage with each session without noticing the 4 week period between each. After each of my behavioural and thought change successes, Elizabeth calmly and kindly lifted me to the next level my brain was able to reveal.
Ben Cooper, Senior Strategist, Marketing Consultancy
Elizabeth is a fantastic coach that really helped me to navigate a critical period in my professional development. Always supportive and caring, Elizabeth helped me to reimagine the vision of success that I had for myself. She has the incredible ability to hone in on the issues that mattered most and guided me towards finding my own solutions.
Dr Charlotte Dickens, GP, London
I was coached by Elizabeth at a time in my career when the workload was overwhelming, impacting on both my professional and personal life. I was contemplating resignation and leaving the profession. The sessions with Elizabeth helped me build resilience, identify what I wanted from the profession and how I could make these things a reality. For years I continued to work as an NHS GP but can honestly say I love my job and now have a plan as to how I will do my best to ensure this continues even in the current climate! Thank you Elizabeth.
Christine B, Partner Investment Fund, USA
During the past five years Elizabeth has been an exceptional coach enabling me to widen my horizon and grow professionally and personally. What sets Elizabeth apart, is that she knows and understands the financial industry, has an insightful approach and acts as a valuable independent sounding board. She opened my eyes to see opportunities and avoid distractions. Elizabeth coached me in the UK (in person) and in Germany and the USA (using Skype). I wish I would have met her earlier and highly recommend her.
I have no hesitation in recommending Elizabeth Arthur and rate her extremely highly. She has a solutions focussed approach and worked collaboratively to draw out where I wanted to take my career next, intuitively understanding the type of role I am passionate about. Elizabeth was supportive, yet challenging when required, always made me feel comfortable but pushed me when necessary yet always made sure I remained true to who I am personally in my professional career. I also recommended Elizabeth to three colleagues who had similarly positive experiences. If you ever think you do not need this type of coaching or are too senior for it or that it won't make a difference to your career, please think again and try Elizabeth.
