Johanna Hooper
What our clients think
My personal coaching sessions with Karyn have really helped me, and it has been great to see my leadership team enjoying the work Maier has been doing with us to enhance our performance as a unit. If you are looking for ways to really harness the potential of your talent I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Karyn and Ella.
My leadership coaching with Ella has been, and continues to be, an amazing experience. Ella has a great gift in asking the most insightful questions, which support me to reflect and work through solutions and ideas. The coaching is really tailored to my needs – Ella has really got to know me as a person, and as a result, she knows what works for me, she shares great tips, ideas and tools that really support my development and performance. I always look forward to my sessions – they help me get off the day-to-day treadmill, reflect, learn and develop.
