Dr Giouliana Kadra-Scalzo's Testimonial
I highly recommended Giouliana who really helped me to delve deep to find my confidence which was rock bottom at a 2/10 but soared to 9/10 by the end of our sessions!
When I first approached Giouliana I was having quite a severe confidence crisis, having been through and survived a large merger and restructure. I had lost a lot of trust in the organisation, I didn't feel part of the new team nor did I share the same goals or drive, all of which resulted in a loss of confidence in my own ability. After 20 years in financial services, I had decided the time was right for a career change. I no longer felt the industry aligned with my own personal goals of wanting to be part of an organisation that impacted people’s day to day life in a positive way. But with my lack of confidence and what I viewed as having zero transferable skills, I was really stuck with the direction I needed to take, which Giouliana really helped me navigate.
We worked together on defining my values - something I hadn't ever considered, which led to some amazing light bulb moments where Giouliana helped me realise what really drives and motivates me, not just at work but personally too. She really made me consider what my needs would be from a new job, instead of just making sure I ticked all of the job descriptions ‘wants’. I really enjoyed reviewing the results of the DISC profile with Giouliana as she identified why I felt the way I did in my current role which I found quite cathartic and helped me regain confidence in my ability. We looked at short and long term goal setting, making these achievable by putting them against reasonable and thought out timelines.
I cannot thank Giouliana enough, my short term goal of working in a primary school was realised within 8 weeks of our first session and I look forward to meeting my longer term goals. What is really great is when I feel a wobble I can go back through all the exercises & session notes done with Giouliana’s support & direction which instantly reminds me of what those elements are to keep me focused on the longer term goals are and why I can achieve them.
