What my clients say about me as a coach and trainer
Dorrian has coached me over the last 12months through some challenging situations both personally and professionally. Her calm approach and sincere nature combined with clear insightful questioning has supported me in being able to see just over the horizon and provided me with better outcomes. Whilst Dorrian is patient, supportive and holds the coaching space gracefully, she places full accountability on her clients, never shying away from difficult questions in favour of a comfortable experience. With Dorrian you will never fail to learn more about yourself through yourself, she is a true thinking partner.
Along with this lecture being the best so far out of the entire year, the lecturer shares her passion and expertise with such grace and skill that in my opinion every person in class grasped the difficult concept. She applied her model with us in class, looking at all four perspectives throughout. She aided me greatly in the development of my own framework and session model. Thank you. She is fantastic!
Best lecture to date! I finally found a model I resonate with. It was a brilliant session. I appreciated Dorrian’s insights and the manner in which she made something so complex so easy to understand.
Dorrian has worked as leadership coach for me and my leadership team over the past few years. I cannot rate her highly enough. She has been instrumental in helping us identify our strengths and challenges as a team and facilitated workshops that have enabled us to better understand how we can collaborate more closely to develop individually and collectively. The quality of her work, especially her facilitation technique and knowledge, is brilliant. This has resulted in our using her on a number of occasions over the years. We run a very successful business with a motivated and engaged leadership team and I have no doubt that she has played a significant role in our development and success.
Dorrian is such a blessing! She is a pleasant lecturer who exudes emotional intelligence to make each student feel valued. Her subject knowledge is exceptional.
Having the privilege of learning from Dorrian during the MPhil (Management Coaching) at Stellenbosch Business School, was honestly one of the most thought-provoking, invigorating and well-rounded learning experiences I have ever been involved in. Truly one feels involved in the discussion; it is not a case of being lectured to but rather an experience of deep learning and sharing of knowledge and wisdom. Dorrian’s enthusiasm and energy for her subject, and the depth and breadth of her knowledge is fascinating. I have never felt classes so captivated and dynamic, where you leave truly sorry the class is over but yearning for more knowledge.
Managerial Coaching changed my life. It made me a better person, a better employee and a better manager. This is a must-have people skill to get the best out of your staff and you. Dr Dorrian has a truly exceptional way of taking you from zero to hero in no time.Thank you again for the absolute, fantastic sessions! It really changed my life!
I have been using the four quadrants as part of my coaching framework, but through your presentation I realise I have only scratched the surface! Thank you, Dorrian, it was an incredibly valuable session. I look forward to applying everything you have exposed us to.
