Sofia's honesty and positivity really resonated with me. She helped me feel more positive about myself and put the feedback into perspective. Her communication was clear and supportive, and I looked forward to each session. We created a plan I am still working to; it was a great experience!

Senior Leader, NZ Police

Sofia helped me strengthen important aspects of wellbeing, including sense of mana, self-determination, and wairua.

Anonymous, Te Wananga o Raukawa

I appreciated discussing ideas and concepts around change management. It was very useful to have these conversations with someone with no direct input into the project. I learned to stay open to exploring ideas without needing an immediate solution, and to reflect on whether something is truly a problem; and what problem we are actually trying to solve.

Team Leader, NZ Police

I valued the practical support and the exercise at the end of the coaching session, which aligned well with my desired goals.

Anonymous, Emerge

Sofia's sessions helped clarify my strengths and weaknesses, enabling me to reflect more effectively in my day-to-day role. They also helped me identify what I am responsible for versus others, and where I need to establish firmer boundaries.

Team Leader, NZ Police

Thanks for running such a great 'Leading with Boundaries' session last week, I've had really positive feedback from the team!

Wellington City Council

A wonderful session leveraging the power of 'Influence & Persuasion'. The session was interactive, thought-provoking, and provided valuable, practical skills applicable in both work and life.

Senior Manager, Emergency Management Organisation

This was my first experience with this type of coaching. It was a light-bulb moment for reflective practice and for identifying and embracing my strengths and development areas. The 360 feedback, the three sessions with Sofia, and the overall experience were immensely valuable 10/10.
