“I met Claire when I was at a complete crossroads in my life. She helped me find & define my priorities, identify options and put me on a path to success. Claire’s pragmatic and optimistic approach was just what I needed! She has truly changed my life and I will forever be indebted.”

Delanie Sinton – Founding UK  Stylist Stella & Dot

“Claire was instrumental in my career changing descision to leave a successful career in media and retrain as a primary school teacher. Her coaching techniques enabled me to think and work through the challenging descisions which had to be made. In addition to this, her contributions definately played a significant role in my achieving a place on the massively over- subscribed PGCE course. This was followed up by her support and help a year later; working with me to secure my first teaching job within an extremely competitive job market.” 

Judith Daniels – Primary School Teacher 

“I went to see Claire after she was recommended to me by a friend. There were a number of family issues which were making it difficult for me to focus on my business and my career.

After a long discussion, Claire introduced a couple of tools and techniques which enabled me to step back and take stock of where I was in my life. Our session enabled me to think more clearly and plan a highly effective course of action with clearly defined next steps.

When I first started with Claire, I was feeling confused, unclear and generally unhappy. After one session I felt more confident + positive about what to do next.

Claire was amazingly easy to open up to and her approach was professional, understanding, supportive and practical.”

“I went along to Claire’s iWISH, iCAN,iWILL program with a very open mind. Our business was at a crossroads and I really needed some new strategies to help move forward.

The course exceeded my expectations by a huge margin! Firstly Claire created a very ‘safe space’ for everyone to share their concerns and offer each other support.  Then we worked through a number of very practical exercises designed to help focus on our strengths and boost self esteem, which they certainly did.

I came away with a handbook of very practical tools that I can use – from planning my time more effectively to picking myself up when things feel too hard.

Claire was enormously inspiring and motivating and her vast experience in the commercial world, combined with her warm personality, made for a fantastic day with truly lasting benefits.Five stars!”

Maria Brosnan – Day Two Productions


“I decided to have coaching because I was fed up with my career and also depressed about separating from my wife and children.  I needed motivation and practical help to begin to remove the mental barriers to allow change.  Claire’s approach, starting with the whole life picture and then focusing on the details as appropriate is entirely practical.  Her enthusiasm is infectious and uplifting. I like the fact that when I see her I don’t know what we will talk about, but I know it will help! “

John Daylis

“Claire has a truly infectious quality that inspires people to want to try harder combined with an eye for commerciality that ensures all their endeavours to do so result in a productive outcome for those she works with. It is this ability to engage, to create a renewed sense of purpose and momentum amongst key players that ultimately makes her such a valuable asset to any company or individual she works with. We are a results driven company specialising in the field of transformational leadership. Claire consistently delivers exceptional results on every challenging assignment we give her. I can give her no higher accolade than that!!”

“Claire Portis was born to help and develop skills in others, that you either did not know you had, or wish you had. She is a team leader on all levels, with all different kinds of people. I have worked with Claire before, and it has been in different arenas, in the workplace, and a social /non profit way. Claire also practices what she teaches ( not preaches)! I highly recommend Claire whether you know what you need, or searching. 
There is nothing that Claire can do, and with her help, there is nothing you eon’t be able to do too!”

Stacey Tappis- Offer – Director Queenscote Design & Plan

 

 ”Claire’s enthusiasm and energy know no bounds. She is a terrific people person and motivates teams to success through a strong but empathetic leadership style. She is focussed and organised in business and her coaching skills ensure that individuals both aim for and achieve their personal goals. I would have no hesitation in recommending Claire.”
