“Calmness – you seem to automatically spread a calm rational atmosphere. Soft spoken and gentle and yet maintain a very powerful presence in a room. A natural respect for those around you.”
Anon
Thank you, Riana, for all your advice and support. Most of all, thank you for teaching me to ‘fish for myself.’ From being broke, panicked and overwhelmed by everything I felt I had no control over, I now know that I can look after myself, my child and my own affairs. I have that confidence! It was hard work, but now I know. Thank you so much for all the help you gave me.

“When a vacancy opened up in another department, I was eager to pursue it, though dreaded telling my manager, as I had strong reasons to suspect that it would badly damage our working relationship. As I did not want to risk it, I decided to let the opportunity go. Then I spoke to Riana. She gave me tips on how I could approach him and set up a win-win situation. The conversation with my manager went well and I went on to pursue the opportunity with his blessing. I highly recommend Riana if you are looking for someone to show you a different point of view in your challenges.”

“I had a difficult conversation come up and asked Riana for some tips. She spent some time asking all relevant questions and then gave me direction on how I could handle the situation with ease. One of the things I took away from the tips was to be able to speak in the other person’s language. Hear them out and build a strong rapport with them. I used this to break the ice with the other person and get them to open up. I now use this in all communication, not just difficult conversations. I feel that what Riana has to offer is very useful in building better communications with the relationships around us and get even better results.”

“I have found the coaching very useful in helping me to articulate thoughts and feelings I have had but never expressed. This particularly applies to work matters around my own perceptions of processes, approaches and decisions. I have learnt a lot about myself that I never knew. Coaching has helped me rationalise changes, recognise when a change in role is useful and to some extent give advice to others in a similar position.”
Eddie, London, UK
“Riana has been an excellent coach to me. She has been able to analyse the situations I have been through with great accuracy and explain them in a way that makes perfect sense now, so I can see why I did what I did. She is easy to talk to and be open with, and allows me to reflect on my own feelings.”
Mike, Croydon, UK
“Riana’s coaching showed me how much I do and to congratulate myself rather than be negative about what I have not done. And I loved the tool she introduced me to, post-it-notes, with actions broken down into manageable pieces. I NEED MORE SESSIONS!!”
Anne, Croydon, UK
Riana’s soft-spoken and gentle, coaxing voice belies a determined, challenging but sensitive approach, which is helping me achieve my goals to complete my studies and set up my own business. Some of the areas we worked on has been quite painful for me to explore, but thanks to Riana’s empathic insight , these limiting beliefs are now much less limiting. Her succinct reflecting back is always helpful as it adds clarity to my thinking and frequently provides a new dimension to my take on things.

“Due to the coaching, I achieved all my goals and I learnt to be more relaxed and peaceful. I recently gave up smoking and this has helped me accept that I don’t need to smoke to relax and has made the whole process much easier.”
Michael, Watford, UK
