What My Clients Say...

Adele's training was slick and inciteful
I was particularly impressed that Adele took the time to follow up immediately to some feedback that I had given with an invite to a personal discussion, which was also very useful. Not only does Adele clearly ‘know her stuff’ but she also cares and is very authentic. I would be very happy to recommend her services.

What a breath of fresh air you are Adele.
“So knowledgeable and passionate about wellbeing, personal growth and helping people to find ways to be their best selves. The sessions you ran were so effective. Rave reviews and attendance levels from colleagues. I appreciated the effort you put in to understand our business so the content was as relevant as it could be. It felt like we had worked with you for much longer.”

Adele's sessions were excellent and provided me with some great takeaways
One of the things I loved about Adele’s training sessions was that they provided a great forum for people to share their experiences, whether it be anonymously via the polls or publicly via the chat. To discover that other people share the same worries and concerns is a great way of identifying that your own unhelpful thoughts are entirely ordinary, something I found to be an important step toward being kinder to and more accepting of myself.

Adele’s coaching skill is she listens intently to the issues
“Before I started working with Adele as a Professional Coach, I was having issues managing my workload; she listened intently to the issues I was having and went through all areas of my job. Adele then helped me to decide what areas of my job I could delegate and helped me regain my confidence. My biggest fear about working with Adele and getting coached was making the time for the coaching sessions, but it was worth making the time because by doing so, I freed up more time. I couldn’t believe how much we managed to get through each session and how helpful they were. I left each session feeling like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders”

Adele Stickland is an exceptional executive coach.
My journey with Adele began with a focus on enhancing my communication skills, but it quickly evolved into a transformative experience that went far beyond my initial expectations. From our first session, Adele demonstrated a profound ability to listen and understand my unique challenges and aspirations.

I’ve used Adele’s techniques to empowered me to embrace my leadership qualities
“If a session could benefit any individual in the workplace, it’s Difficult Conversation training with Adele. I believe it’s rare to find a coaching topic that can be universally helpful, both in and outside work. Adele helped identify how every communication style can be appropriate and when to adjust the style. I’ve used Adele’s techniques to decenter myself from tense, difficult conversations I usually dread. It has empowered me to embrace my leadership qualities and vastly reduced my need to consult senior management at Innovate Care Group about difficult conversations. I couldn’t more highly recommend it for anyone considering coaching or training, even purely for personal development. There are unconscious patterns I’ve been stagnant in, that Adele has guided me to recognise- i cannot overstate how useful it has been.”
