Our journey together

“I am an IT professional coached by Georgie and invested in the Machu four month executive coaching package. I opted to engage in the coaching sessions as I was facing a crossroads in my life and career at the time. I had a plethora of thoughts and ideas keeping me up at night and wanted the help of a professional to make some sense of it. 

It turned out to be a life-changing experience. As an experienced former IT leader herself, Georgie brought a wealth of knowledge to our coaching sessions. The role of a coach is not to give you the answers, but to ask the right questions. Georgie's experience in my own industry helped her ask salient questions that prompted me to look at things differently and helped me gradually make sense of my own ideas. In some cases, her skilled questioning helped me think of new ideas and avenues I had never considered exploring before. 

I am an energetic and driven personality, a by-product of which is that I sometimes run at things too fast. I found Georgie to be a calming influence. Her active listening skills are prolific and, in our sessions, she was very good at gently getting me to slow down and break down my big ideas into more digestible chunks.   

She is a relaxed and easy-going personality, two qualities that belie the considerable challenges she herself has faced over the last few years as a sufferer of Long Covid. Her resilience in the face of adversity is inspirational and has undoubtedly added to her ability to empathise and strategise with her clients. Rest assured she will (helpfully) challenge your values, beliefs and goals. I consider myself relatively self-aware, yet in my sessions with her I was surprised to realise (through nothing other than expertly placed questions by Georgie) how self-limiting some of my beliefs were. Breaking those ideas down was one of the most fruitful things she helped me to do. 

I would highly recommend Georgie's coaching services to anyone who needs help making sense of multiple ideas, planning for a specific goal or galvanising oneself out of a self-limiting rut."
