Ricky’s approach to Leadership Coaching

What my clients say

Nicole Seils, Head of Government Relations & Legislative Affairs, Northrop Grumman, Australia

“Ricky is a consummate professional, brings breadth and depth of experience, and most of all candour to her coaching. She supports those she’s working with, while importantly, also pushing them a bit beyond their comfort zone to challenge them and lift their capabilities. Working with her was a productive and enjoyable experience.”

Senior Leader, Reserve Bank of Australia

“The sessions were very thought provoking. What I found very helpful was the way Ricky tailored the content and information provided around some of the current issues I was facing at the time.”

clientLeader, Deutsche Bank

“As a coach, Ricky is as warm and engaging as she is challenging and thought-provoking. She has an uncanny ability of cutting straight to the chase. Ricky’s simple but effective strategies have proven adaptable to any situation and management style, leading to better outcomes.”
