Coaching services | Dyllis Faife Coaching

I was provided with the opportunity of a coach via a frontline leadership Award. I was dubious as I have never had a coach before and I was unsure on how it would work or what I would get from it.

On my first session I realised quite quickly that Dyllis is a true professional. Her calm and patient manner made me relax and feel confident. Dyllis helped me think about and plan what would be most useful of our time together. I had 8 separate 1 hour sessions which we planned together to suit.

Over this period I went through difficult times, Dyllis was a huge asset to me I looked forward to our sessions. Dyllis guided me to think about, reflect, plan and problem solve. I was sad for our sessions to end.

Dyllis I wish you every success you deserve it. Thank you.

United Response commissioned Dyllis to work with a cohort of frontline and middle managers to coach them based on individual objectives. United Response evaluated the coaching and the feedback was excellent; all the coachees said they had benefited and would highly recommend the coaching provided by Dyllis to other managers in United Response.

Coachees reported that they particularly valued someone independent to talk to and the confidentiality aspect of the coaching relationship. Most coachees reported an increase in confidence as well as clarity and actions to take forward to resolve their particular objective.United Response feels so positively about the benefits and impact of Dyllis’s coaching, for both the organisation itself and for the individual managers, that we have now not only recontracted with her for a second year but we have doubled the volume of our contract with her, so that even more of our managers can benefit from her coaching skills.

I worked with Dyllis as my coach over a six month period as I was interested in looking at my personal development and growth with the overall aim of determining which career direction I wanted to go in and then obtaining employment.

Having never had a coach before I didn’t really understand how it worked and when to expect to see results. Dyllis has exceeded all my expectations.

I would describe Dyllis as an approachable, professional and very dedicated coach. Quickly understanding me – my way of thinking – then encouraging me to find clear strategies to success.

Dyllis has effectively provided me with a series of tools and a clearer understanding of personal change and growth which have helped me become a more successful, driven and positive individual.

I have recently achieved full time employment in my current chosen career and Dyllis has also supported and encouraged me to pursue volunteer opportunities in a field which I may wish to consider changing to at a future date.

I would recommend Dyllis to anyone interested in personal development as I have learnt first-hand how beneficial coaching with her has been.

Coaching was a great way for me to reflect on my practice which is something I never take the time to do. Dyllis was a fabulous coach and helped me to identify ways in which I could achieve my set objectives now and how to use the learning gained for the future.

I would highly recommend Dyllis to anyone looking for coaching around professional or career development. Dyllis can guide you through discussions around past experiences and allow you to reflect and build upon these identifying the positives.

Dyllis can work with you to identify future goals and specify how you will achieve these, developing a focused plan for future career development. I found each of my sessions with Dyllis to be an enjoyable experience and I continue to use the actions form each session to build towards my long term plans.

Excellent business coach.

The opportunity to take redundancy spurred me on to start my own business, but going from employee to employer took me to unknown territory and I lost a bit of confidence.

I met Dyllis at a networking event and immediately liked her. She has a great coaching manner which made me feel empowered and confident again very quickly.

My business is now doing very well and is way ahead of projected forecasts. If you’re reading this considering whether to contact her or not… please do… she’s amazing.

Dyllis helped me to explore my options at a particularly demanding time in my career. She is an engaging, attentive and challenging coach supporting me to ‘be braver sooner’ by leaving long-term employment to undertake an MBA – Dyllis has quite literally helped me to change my life!

I wholeheartedly recommend you get in touch with Dyllis to discuss how coaching can help you to achieve your potential. Good luck!

Working with Dyllis over the last few months has really helped fast track my progress in a range of areas we have worked on. Quickly establishing a good rapport and understanding of how I work, Dyllis’ coaching style helped me gain clarity, understanding and direction.

The dynamic of working with a professional outside of the Business was a leading factor in choosing DF Coaching. Having a number of sessions also worked for me to help commit fully and maintain focus.

Thanks again Dyllis and I look forward to working with you on future projects.

Thank you so much for conducting the Myers Briggs Personality Profile with me.

It helped me identify my natural behaviours and those I have learnt to adopt over my years in business. Confirming that I am able to adapt in different situations and use my learnt behaviour rather than my natural behaviour when it is more appropriate.

You delivered the Personality Profile in a very informative manner, giving me all the information I needed to complete it. The discussion after completion of the Personality Profile was invaluable, helping me identify that following a period of chronic illness I am actually the same person I was before the illness. You also allowed plenty of time in order to complete the Personality Profile and even had some extra time at the end to give me some coaching regarding an impending house move. During this coaching you helped me identify the behaviours I was using to make my decisions and that I could use some learnt behaviours where necessary to complete the task. This coaching was invaluable.

All in all it was a very useful exercise, delivered in a professional and friendly manner, allowing me to complete the exercise at my own pace.

Dyllis has helped me, through her supportive but gently challenging manner, to overcome low levels of confidence and self-esteem, and think much more positively about the future. With the aid of DISC profiling Dyllis has helped me to better understand myself, inspiring and encouraging me in my quest for meaningful work. Dyllis is very professional and pleasant to work with, and I would recommend her for personal development coaching.
