‘From the first email contact, I was struck by Di’s professionalism, enthusiasm and passion for what she does. Following our first phone call, I felt confident that she would be able to help me achieve my goal.

‘Di is friendly and encouraging. The sessions are structured but she makes them lots of fun. She is certainly a ‘glass half full’ kind of person and she instils this in others. I felt my confidence and speaking ability grow as the sessions progressed. She is insightful and a good listener. Di gives positive feedback in abundance and even the negative feedback is given in a tactful and helpful manner.

I felt that she went the extra mile for me. My sessions usually went overtime. Di also organised a mock interview panel for me which was very helpful.

On the day of my interview, I was nervous of course but felt that with Di’s help that I had prepared as well as I could. Within minutes of the interview commencing I could feel my confidence kicking in.

The ‘forty’ minute interview was over in twenty-five and I was recommended for the position.

I would certainly recommend Di Riddell to anyone requiring professional coaching to assist them to achieve their goals. I am very grateful to her for her help.’
