“Hi Lynette, Thank you for helping to rearrange my meeting with Raymond over the last few days - it was all worth it in the end! I just wanted to write a quick note with feedback from the session. I thought the whole thing was extremely well organised (thanks to you) with clear instructions on how to find the offices and a good selection of dates to choose from. In pre-meeting notes I had identified my main objective as getting clarity on where to focus in coming months, and that objective was achieved over the course of the hour and bit yesterday. I found Raymond very in tune with the way I think and felt completely at ease in talking through my plans with him. I recognise a good coach and he asked me some very pertinent questions which started to challenge the way I am thinking about the business. I'll be making another appointment for the New Year to follow up. In the meantime, have a lovely Christmas and many thanks again.” OR - Oxford
