Individual Coaching

One-to-one coaching is an invaluable tool for helping you to be at your best more of the time. It combines a sensitivity to the deeply personal journey that has brought you to this moment, together with an understanding of the intensely practical demands of succeeding in a competitive business place.

  • Meeting leadership challenges
  • Succesful career change and transition
  • Improved management and business development skills
  • Increased personal impact and effectiveness
  • Building confidence, self esteem and resilience

Chair, Board of Trustees

“The Board of Trustees at Positively UK has worked with Liz Cox over the past 18 months. Liz has led two day-long workshops designed to maximise the direction, connection and cohesiveness of our Board. Her focus is always on ensuring maximum interaction between the Trustees; that everyone is heard and has the space to shape the future of the organisation. Group work is a strong feature of her approach. The result is a connected Board with a clear, sharpened vision, a coordinated strategy and a team fully aligned behind it and ready to deliver.”

Managing Director, Marketing Services

“I’ve worked closely with Liz for over 15 years and during that time she has never failed to provide excellent advice. Her guidance is always considered and thought-through; she thinks strategically, able to recognise the bigger picture which is complemented by her awareness of any sensitivities involved so that she recommends the most diplomatic course of action. This combination of skills has contributed to a long and successful relationship and has resulted in her becoming a most trusted confidante.”

Partner, Law Firm

“Liz combines insight with incisiveness, which she supports with exceptional listening ability and obvious respect. She epitomises professionalism.”

Director, Private Equity Fund

“Liz has a relaxed and engaging style which rubbed off on me. She knew when to be lighthearted and when to be more serious. She has seriously high EQ.”

Director, Investment Bank

“Liz showed me that positive change is possible. This has given me dramatically more confidence.”

Managing Director, Marketing Services

“I value and trust Liz more than anyone else I have worked with in my business career.”

Business Owner, Marketing Services

“I have great respect for Liz’s consultancy skills and she has transferred these to her coaching practice: generous listening and probing, perceptive observations, wise encouragement, and positive regard. During a period in my career when I felt de-stabilised, Liz has helped ground me in truths about myself, and encouraged me to address the barriers I put in my own way. I have really valued her support and highly recommend her services.”
