Over the past few months, working with Sian has helped and supported me tremendously. I was definitely going through an extremely challenging period for many reasons. I felt that I had lost my self-confidence and the ability to believe in myself. I had a lot going on and felt that I had lost direction in terms of my career.

I had extensive experience working in the public sector. I was attending many interviews and not being successful, and that was difficult to accept.

Benefiting from working with Sian has brought many positive qualities. Sian has changed me by rebuilding my self-confidence and showing me that I have the ability to succeed in anything. Different techniques were used to help me reach my goal. Being able to talk to Sian showed how much perseverance I had and it became clear that I was able to transfer my skills to new roles. I shared experiences I had been through with Sian in order to reach my goal of changing my life. Working together has certainly changed me both personally and professionally. I am extremely grateful to Sian for her ability to believe in me, and more than anything for all the work she has done with me. There were difficult periods, but at the end of the day I had the backbone to work hard and stay positive.

The period of mentoring with Sian has changed me tremendously. I am now someone who has truly grown and regained confidence. I now believe in myself and tell myself that with hard work, anything is possible. I am about to begin a new chapter in my career. I am excited to enter a career I never thought would happen for me, and I owe that thanks to Sian for her support and encouragement throughout the journey. I will certainly be in an organisation now where I can develop and open new doors for myself.

Mentoring with Sian has changed my attitude towards everything — I am a much more positive person. I wasn’t sure which direction I would go in, but a person’s career works out for a reason, and I am looking forward to the future. I certainly learned that there is more to life than work. I am now a completely different person.

If anyone is thinking about mentoring with Sian, the advice I would give is to go for it. You are in completely safe hands with Sian — she has a wealth of experience and can offer valuable suggestions. I went to Sian with no confidence at all, not knowing what to expect, but she has changed me completely, and I am a much happier person now, and that shows in my everyday life. I am going to continue mentoring with Sian because of the experiences and the excellent advice she gives me. Sian is a five-and-a-half-star mentor who has used different techniques to guide me.
