Coaching Style
Lorraine has been described as demonstrating great compassion and perception. She has an uncanny ability to walk in someone else's shoes. She is able to identify points of leverage and create an effective intervention in a way that is impactful and sensitive. She has an intuitive style and her systemic thinking ensures eclogical, sustainable solutions.
She is sensitively honest and uses humour provocatively to facilitate rapport and trust. She is known for introducing some outrageous solutions. One client recently commented "Other consultants give great feedback but Lorraine seems to offer it up on a silver tray......for genuinely generative coaching, she is the tops." (Richard Winfield, Brefi Group).
She says "I have worked with some of the most talented business people in the world and have learned something unique and highly valuable from each one of them." On describing her approach she says "I look into the core of potential in everyone I meet, it is both exciting and humbling. I completely trust that everyone already has all the inner resources they need, and believe that my job is to support their exploration in finding their solutions and answers."
She lives in a wild part of Wiltshire in England with her partner and two young daughters. She loves playing with her children, gardening, writing and painting.
