"Brought clarity to our thinking"

“I have had the pleasure of working with Eva in a number of different capacities as I have built teams during my Microsoft career. Most recently I asked Eva to support me as I built a high performing leadership team for Microsoft’s UK Public Sector business. The team had a strong track record and for many the time was right for them to move up to the next stage of their own careers: I therefore had to rebuild the leadership capability for the business. Eva helped me to:

• Clearly establish the Vision and Mission for Microsoft in the UK Public Sector
• Create a bold business plan to double the size of the business over a five year period during a time of Public Sector austerity
• Develop the leadership capability of the team and to support on the creation of a strong team dynamic
• Personally coach and mentor me in my biggest career role to date

Eva introduced me and the team to well established business models that supported the creation of the overall vision and mission for the business, brought clarity to our thinking, and created a clear, communicable strategy for our people. Eva helped us understand what the most important leadership attributes were for our future growth and that shaped the recruitment strategy for adding talent to the team. Most importantly Eva was an amazing personal coach to me and I often describe the “therapy” sessions that we had together when in true coaching style I did most of the talking and put my own thoughts together, coming away filled with energy and new clarity. Eva then supported a number of my leaders in the same way a number of whom have gone on to more senior roles as a result.”
