“Over the period of December and January I received a course of five sessions with Dee on a number of subjects. These ranged from effective time management to managing your manager. Dee's style was excellent. I felt very much at ease from the beginning and was always very comfortable to be honest and open and not feel stupid. We had some great discussions and I always felt energised but very thoughtful at the end. She was positive but not over directive so I felt that I always wanted to complete the homework and try my best. The total experience has had a huge impact on both my work and personal life helping me to be more confident, better at organising myself and spending a greater amount of quality time with people.”
Paul Bidwell, Senior Buying Manager, Tesco HQ
“I find Dee outstanding especially in terms of her energy, integrity and commitment. Her coaching style is direct and action-oriented whilst also being sensitive and full of the kind of insight which is almost impossible to have for oneself. Crucially she facilitates self-realisation through perceptive questions – you end up with your answer to your question rather than someone else’s or some airy theory! This has worked very well for me and I recommend Dee wholeheartedly.”
Steve Jupp, Director of Human Resources, Royal Devon & Exeter NHS Foundation Trust
“Dee’s coaching has been very effective - my work/life balance has improved, I now delegate more effectively and I communicate better with my staff. My stress levels are more manageable and during our sessions I was promoted. The results of coaching are also evident in my personal life as well, for example I have even given up smoking! I have enjoyed having someone coach me from outside the organisation – it has given me the space and freedom to think things through from a different perspective.”
Louisa Knowles, Senior Buying Manager, Tesco HQ
"Having personally benefited from a series of coaching sessions with Dee Brodie, I would have no hesitation in recommending Excel Coaching to anyone interested in their own personal or business development".
Roger Wilkinson, CEO Wilkinson Grant Estate Agents, Exeter
“Having a coaching session with Dee is always challenging, but her commitment to moving forward is extraordinary and she works with enormous clarity and compassion. Dee Brodie’s coaching has had an actual, measurable effect on individual performance and profitability. I would strongly recommend her to others.”
Robin Currie, Director, Barchester Green Investment.
“I did not realise at the start of this journey how much I would gain and grow through the process. It has been a valuable addition to the other support I have had to 'move on' and I feel I have become a more balanced person in many aspects of my life and work.”
Janice Bird, Inspector, Devon and Cornwall Police
“I would like to record my appreciation and thanks for the understanding and supportive way you worked with me to develop and realise my potential. I have had a number of 'wilderness years' during which my professional ambitions have been frustrated. The timing of your coaching and your objective ability to get to the issues were a real and meaningful help.”
Andrew Bickley, Superintendent, Devon and Cornwall Police
After my sessions with Dee I am always motivated and inspired. She gets to the important issues quickly and efficiently and allows me the freedom to come up with my own solutions. I would recommend her to anyone interested in their professional development.
Katie Proctor, Branch Manager, Halifax Bank
