Testimonials

"Carol is very intuitive and has a rare ability to see issues from both sides. She gives an honest objective view as to how to approach problems and find workable solutions. She has given me the confidence to believe in myself and to be assertive where necessary. I can thoroughly endorse her work and have no hesitation in recommending her.

MW, Head of Corporate Services, Public Sector

"I feel that my abilities to manage and lead my department have been significantly enhanced following your support and guidance. The challenges I have faced, both as a new member of the directorate and as a director of a growing challenging department have been many. Your guidance and advice has enabled me to recognise my strengths. I also found your input into the department's career development to be of help and look forward to working with you again".

JH, Director of Marketing and Communications, Charity Sector

"Carol helped me enormously! I was a wreck, I did not have the energy or the will to sort out my personal and professional life.  Thanks to Carol I regained my self confidence and started the much needed job search. She coached me through all the steps of job hunting and interviews.  I am now back on track, full of energy and respect for myself.  I know what I want and how to get there! Thank you Carol

MS, Systems Engineer

"I have just completed a master’s degree at London University where I studied economics as a full-time student. After many years as a managing director I am starting a new career, but this time I am self-employed. I really value the help that Carol was able to give me in defining my goals and establishing new plans. It was hard work, but Carol's patience and structured approach was just what I needed to help me invest time in myself and build my confidence and regain my career."

AC, Former managing director of a £40 million+ wholly-owned subsidiary of a UK plc, now a senior research fellow

"When I first came to see you last year things looked pretty bleak from my perspective. My confidence was low, my thought processes were all over the place and I didn’t have a career strategy in finding the right role for me. You have been a guiding force to me. You were the one who allowed me to do things differently. As a result, my confidence is high, my interview technique so much better proof in getting my new role. For the first time in a long time I truly believe in my abilities and what I can do."

IW, Project Manager for a global IT organisation

"I had been finding it difficult to land a job offer as a trainee solicitor with City law firms, despite several invitations to be interviewed. However, I succeeded in gaining an offer after I attended interview training with Carol Slesser, I found her practical and comprehensive advice on all aspects of the interview process and the role play exercises invaluable. Carol is friendly, approachable and supportive - we are still in touch four years later."

AM, Solicitor, Top 10 City Law Firm

"Just to let you know -I got through both first round interviews! I've second round interviews lined up with Ernst & Young and Deloitte. Thank you for your help. If I get the opportunity to, I will definitely pass you on to my contacts. Your coaching has definitely helped."

ML, Law Graduate

'After a career break which had left me lacking confidence, both in my
abilities and past experience, meeting up with Carol was like a blast of fresh air.

She challenged my assumptions and gave me a new perspective. In the
process I regained the confidence to pursue a new direction (and a bigger dream), which had previously seemed impossible. Thank you Carol for your inspiration!'

JLB, MBA Graduate

"When I decided to change jobs, my strong academic background and legal training ensured that I was consistently invited to interviews. However, I was rejected time and again, without being given any useful feedback, which was both distressing and confusing. My session with Carol helped rebuild my confidence and add sustance to my answers at interviews. I learned how to deliver the answers in a way most likely to interest the interviewer.  I suddenly found myself with three excellent offers and an altogether more positive outlook.  Three hours well spent indeed!".
