FEEDBACK FROM CLIENT
“Throughout my sessions with Aidan, I learned quite a lot about myself and my approach to leading a team. I had quite a number of concerns being a somewhat inexperienced leader & Aidan was very helpful in walking me through the expectations and responsibilities of a good leader, this helped us identify areas of needed improvement & we spent time focusing on these. I’m not a person who appreciates sitting still listening to bullet points or reviewing presentations so I was very happy with the open approach Aidan had to the sessions – without any time for specific preparation Aidan could listen to me and relate to my current scenarios by leaning on both his knowledge and lived experience as a business person. The tools Aidan utilized over the few sessions I found very insightful and have not only helped me develop my own skills but have allowed me to pass these along to my peers and direct reports. Overall, I found it a very positive experience and would highly recommend to any person such as myself that finds themselves leading a team of people.”
