Ali's other passion is to develop leaders.

With Derek, she is about to bring a second book to market, 'The Self-Directing Professional' to help people achieve their own personal excellence. Her skill is helping people unblock their limiting beliefs, boost their self-esteem, achieve their goals and shine. She has done this with leaders across a range of organisations, including Friends Provident, NCSL, Scottish Widows, BK Bluebird, the NHS, local authorities and schools.
“I would describe
Ali’s approach as extraordinarily intuitive, positive and inspirational,
with insight and guidance being offered in a way that is subtle,
unobtrusive and non-judgemental.”

inspiration to me .. by the end of last night I had sorted out

a positive impression already for my marketing and I know that
I would benefit from a further injection of that Ali-rocket fuel.”

“Not having
done this before, I needed to feel comfortable with Ali before
opening up about matters I normally deal with myself. This happened
more quickly than I expected as Ali proved to be a good listener
and demonstrated a genuine interest in seeking to understand me
and in helping me to resolve my issues … Ali displayed high levels
of integrity and professionalism and at the same time projected
warmth and sensitivity in her approach.”

“Ali's coaching
involves such a refined skill of empathetic listening and rapport
that you hardly notice it's happening. In fact I wasn't even aware
of my first coaching session with Ali; it was just two friends/colleagues
discussing a serious global issue during a 40 minute train journey.
But at the end of that journey I was able to make the decision
to embark on a very uncertain project. A few weeks later I asked
Ali to formally become my personal development coach for the project.
She agreed. The essential ingredient Ali offers isn't in the coaching
manual; part of it is her ability to see you as a success irrespective
of what you are telling her! When she gets you to believe what
she already believes the rest is straightforward, it's in the
manual! If you're working towards a goal which stretches your
self-belief, or if you're experiencing blocks on your journey,
then getting coaching from Ali is a must.”
