We really got to the crux of the matter and kept going until it was dealt with and for this I am grateful. I now feel lighter, more focused and a lot more positive about where I'm heading.”

Communications Manager,
Home Office

“I went to see Aurora about a general lack of confidence about my work.

Aurora’s care in ascertaining exactly what my issue was enabled the appropriate interventions to be applied, which were carried out to great effect.

I left the session feeling much different. The self promotion I had been dreading, now felt easily within my capacity and I have continued to feel the same way since.

I highly recommend Aurora’s services.”

Executive Coach

“It was simply amazing as an experience and for results. I have searched for many years to overcome my limiting beliefs then Aurora takes me through a proven, fun, and interesting process which just got to the nub of it. It was like seeing properly again and losing shed loads of weight all in one go!
What was particularly useful was that it was practical and had immediate impact on me. Thank you very, very much.”

done together.”

And just as importantly . . . the coaching sessions were fun!”

Senior Manager, Zurich Insurance

“First class coach & mentor who knows exactly how & when to roll her sleeves up and get stuck in, take on the difficult & is not afraid to tell it how it is. Dawn provides excellent advice & guidance backed up with quality thinking & materials in support of an objective. She tends to come at & consider things from a different perspective, constantly seeking a perspective that will make you think about the topic from a different standpoint.”

VP Services Computer Associates

“This has really helped me look at a problem differently and without any baggage. I have begun to see a poor performer change in attitude and the team working more productively.”

VP Services EMEA – CA

“I was put at ease very quickly. Dawn seemed to understand where I was coming from and showed she had had experience of dealing with similar situations. This gave me great confidence and I was able to trust her very easily, which in turn allowed me to open up quickly. We had some really 'gritty' stuff to deal with, which at times was difficult for me; however, I also felt safe and taken care of. I'd be lying if I said I didn't have doubts at the start, and yet it worked. It's been a life changing experience and completely changed the way I approach things.”

Global Customer Claims Executive – Zurich Insurance

“Dawn made me comfortable at all times. She quickly adapted to suit my style of meeting that is fun-based and not to regimental. Furthermore, Dawn knew when to 'draw the line' and stop me when I got carried away and moved off-topic.

The results of the training have been noticeable. I feel more confident in myself, my level of expertise and in dealing with unknown situations when outside of my comfort zone. ”
