She feels passionately that personal development is the way to achieve goals. The non-judgemental approach allows clients to stretch themselves. Lorraine believes that working with a coach helps you to think more laterally.

Clients in 2010: I have coached many different clients in the past year. Some are seeking business coaching, others personal coaching. The common thread in both groups is the need to change & develop, to leave old habits behind.  I have coached 3 Chief Executives who need to maintain the balance between good management & developing innovation. In large organisations it can be difficult to introduce change. I suppose the continuity of message from my clients is that I can take the strategic option with them.They are then able to see the helicopter view of their business.
