What our clients think
I have worked for some time with Maier, as part of our Executive team, with my senior leadership team and with other senior teams across the business.
Maier have proved to be good critical friends and are helping us develop ever more capable leaders, challenging us to think beyond our own experiences and helping us create an effective, performance-focussed team culture.
Maier Coaching has been of huge value to my team and myself personally. This coaching has brought the team together, enabled us to understand each other, grow and resolve issues. We have covered everything from team structure, technical decisions and personal development in these sessions.
The insights and guidance have made a real difference and will continue to do so as we move forward and I hope our partnership continues long into the future
A really great day – useful, informative, intelligent, getting a real understanding of each other and what we all need to do to make the service and team successful. As for the facilitation; engaging, bright, warm, influential, very clever.
With all the uncertainty over the world, leadership is more important than ever to glue the team together, show assurance, set direction and guidance to our team members over the world virtually to deliver the business, as well as to navigate the new norms calmly.
Hence spending time together as a senior leadership group virtually on self love, leadership & creative thinking is very crucial. Thank you for organising this virtual workshop for us, I am truly very grateful to have a coach to guide us through this.
I was surprised by how much of the energy and learning you achieve in a face-to-face setting can be achieved online. These have certainly been worthwhile sessions in 2020/21 and have accelerated our evolution as a team as well as increased our ability to deal with the current and future new worlds.
Coaching has been used within the team to provide a different perspective and offer a different voice to the challenges faced, allowing individuals to grow in their own way rather than just emulating what they see. This has benefited the individuals providing clarity on strengths and weaknesses and nurturing their own style of leadership and provide confidence in their abilities
