Testimonials
Here's what people who have worked with Red Kite PD have to say:
Coaching
"I found Liz very easy to talk to about both work and personal issues. She always helped me see things from a different perspective and supported me to realise that I don't need to be all things to all people; it's okay to ask for help. Liz helped me identify my strengths and showed me how to make the best use of them. I feel I have grown a lot since our sessions, thanks to the advice, support and guidance I received from her."
Gina McDonagh, Head Office Manager, Central Credit Union (July 2024)
"Before working with Liz, I had never tried coaching before and wasn’t sure what to expect. However, from the very beginning, Liz made me feel comfortable and at ease. Despite being quite nervous initially and seeking validation from others, Liz’s approach helped me feel more confident and self-assured. After completing my sessions, I can honestly say that I feel like a different person. I’ve gained a newfound positivity about my future and have started believing in myself more than ever before. Liz’s professionalism and talent are truly commendable, and her guidance has been invaluable to me. I wholeheartedly recommend Liz’s coaching to anyone seeking personal growth and development. You won’t be disappointed."

"Liz possesses a rare talent for understanding the intricate dynamics of both personal and professional development. She has been instrumental in guiding my personal progression, offering insightful advice and practical strategies that have enabled me to achieve my goals with confidence and clarity. Her ability to listen and genuinely understand the challenges of my business has been particularly impressive. Liz's contribution has been a game-changer. Her blend of warmth, wisdom, and professionalism makes her an asset to any individual or organisation seeking to grow and thrive."
Managing Director, UK Publishing Company (November 2023)
"I have thoroughly enjoyed my coaching sessions with Liz. She is a great listener and brilliant advisor, providing useful resources and references. The sessions taught me valuable information about: myself, what I want from the future and how to start putting a plan in place to achieve it. I would definitely recommend Liz and life coaching no matter your situation in life/work. Thank you Liz!"
Clothing Merchandiser, UK Retail (September 2023)
"I found working with Liz to be hugely beneficial. Having never had any coaching previously I was unsure what to expect, but after just one session a particular issue which I had been struggling with was unlocked. Liz provided the space and support for me to articulate certain self- perceptions that I had been holding onto, and enabled me to challenge them rationally with the benefit of an independent perspective. A number of practical and substantive actions were identified during the sessions, which have had a real impact. The coaching sessions are challenging but in a very positive way (I was encouraged to explore an issue that I had probably been “avoiding” for some time). I would whole heartedly recommend!"
Legal Counsel, Transport Multi-National, UK-based (June 2023)
“Liz is a thoughtful, reflective coach who helped me with some very focussed sessions on particular leadership and personal development challenges. She really made me work hard in the sessions which was a good thing! She gave me a helpful fresh perspective and our work led to some concrete actions which I will be taking forward."
Senior manager, UK Government Legal Department (April 2023)
Leadership Development
"I engaged Red Kite People Development to create a tailored development session for our staff away day after receiving a personal recommendation. I talked through what I was looking for with Liz, and she proposed a short session on resilience and travelled to deliver it. The session landed well with everyone; my colleagues gave some fantastic feedback, including saying that it had been beneficial in their daily life and at work. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Liz again and thoroughly recommend her as a facilitator."
Eileen Halligan, CEO, Central Liverpool Credit Union, July 2023
People Development Consulting
"Liz is a great people leader. As a senior leader she makes time to listen to people at all levels of the organisation and acts quickly on feedback to address concerns and move things forward. Positive outcomes is something that she dedicates her energy to whether that be identifying opportunities to make learning design more efficient through technology investments, or spotting talent and nurturing it to help people realise their potential and build self confidence, or diffusing conflict arising from differing views. Liz always applies an open non-judgemental approach by making time to understand the situation and offer non-bias options for consideration to help people move towards delivery of common goals or develop their careers."
