‘I got the permanent job I was after!! Thank you so much for your help and encouragement in getting me to be more comfortable with some of those difficult questions (and taking about myself) and in my responses and delivery. I felt much better during this last interview, and I think it meant I came across more relaxed yet able to answer well. '

‘My coach and the AMA Victoria professional coaching program was pivotal in supporting me to take up my new leadership role. I exited the program feeling authorised in my new role with a clear plan, goals and actions that I had begun working towards. I would not have been able to achieve this without the support of my coach.
