SUCCESS STORIES
- Marco Carella, Global Sustainable Procurement Manager (Germany)
“If I hadn’t worked with Megan, I would have less trust in myself and I wouldn’t pursue the things I am pursuing now. I have increased energy in pursuing my dreams.
I’ve left the safe port and I’m travelling now in the oceans, and daring to go through change, through challenges and towards outstanding, inspiring destinations.”
- Karen Mitchell, Chief Executive at Cumbria Action for Sustainability (UK)
“If I hadn't hired Megan, my confidence would have continued to disintegrate. I think I would have relatively quickly ended up in burnout and I think I would have ended up resigning.
The biggest thing that I took away with me, after working with Megan, really is that I can do this job, and I can enjoy it again. That's been a massive, massive relief.
I'm really keen to now try and embed this whole culture of coaching through the rest of the organisation because I have found it so personally valuable.”
- Kat Hamilton, Partnerships and Programs Director, Force of Nature
“Since working with Megan, I have found that my mindset shifts have been really major. And I’ve actually grown the team at Force of Nature.
They are really seeing me show up as a leader in the space, with both the certainty that is needed as well as the compassion and the flexibility to respond to challenges that inevitably come up when you run a nonprofit.”
- Stacy Zinken, Chief Experience Officer, Paladin (USA)
“I found my coaching sessions with Megan to be super valuable, whether it was working through a project or a different scenario.
She is a great sounding board and someone who asks really intelligent questions to help you think differently about things. I’m probably a happier person throughout the day and better to work with.”
- Matthew Slate, Senior Manager, CPD Worldwide
"Megan manages to blend remarkable cheerfulness, humour and empathy with a 'get shit done' attitude in a way which immediately both impressed and energised me.
If I hadn't hired her, I'm very confident that I would have still been procrastinating. I would very likely have been no closer to understanding what change I actually want to make or how to make it."
- Nathalie, Climate Finance Professional (Switzerland)
“The biggest thing I took away from working with Megan was finding my own way of achieving my goals. I now know the direction, I am open about which path to follow and will make no compromise on people and values. I found a way to fill my sense of purpose, enjoy my work and give back to society. I feel anchored. My way of being has changed.
Megan is an iron hand in a velvet glove. You should work with her if you’re ready to take the next step in your life, if you don’t feel clear enough on what you want, how to reach your goal, and you know it’s linked to climate change: Megan’s speciality.”
- Tessa, Founder, (UK)
“The world would be an incredible place if everyone had a coach like Megan.
If you’re going to coach with her, you need to know that your life is going to change.”
- Alice Miller, Head of Project Development, Breathe Global, Clean Air Fund (UK)
“Coaching with Megan has offered a resource of support and motivation that I didn’t know I was missing until we started working together. Megan also has a seemingly endless depth of knowledge and resources that are applicable to just about every situation I presented, which meant that we were able to be adaptive and flexible in our approach.
I would recommend Megan’s coaching to anyone who is operating in a similar professional space to me, anyone who is facing a junction of what next, or anyone who wants to build their capacity for compassionate and inclusive leadership.”
- Lisa, Sustainability Manager (Germany)
“If I haven’t worked with Megan, I would probably still feel very stuck – while blaming myself for all of it.
You should work with Megan if you want to invest in yourself and your personal development, not just on a surface level but much more transformationally.”
- Tim, Digital Marketing Professional
"There is simply no easy way to describe the sense of freedom that comes from knowing that you know how to make decisions you can live well with, and my work with Megan gave me that.
Highly, highly recommended."
- Huria, Nurture Capital Partner at Masawa Social Impact Fund (Germany)
“Megan perfectly combines intellectual and emotional intelligence ... the ‘thinker’ with a razor sharp analytical mind who approaches everyone around her with an open heart and mind.
Megan is an influencer who proactively shapes her environment in an inclusive and respectful way. I would cherish the opportunity to work with Megan in the future.”
- Gillian Benjamin, Founder, MakeTomorrow (UK)
“I started seeing Megan because I was struggling with perfectionism, which was showing up as self-doubt. She helped me develop more trust in my path, while learning how to do it with more joy and ease.
Megan is a brilliant listener and picks up on small nuances or digs into topics to better understand what lies behind certain behaviours. I would highly recommend working with her.”
- Tom, COO (USA)
“Megan walked beside me through open doors to personal change. As a result of coaching with her, I have seen change in almost too many ways to count!
As a coach, Megan was fantastic and attentive, with a great balance of challenge and support."
- Leanne Case, Managing Director, Astia (UK)
"I just wanted to say thank you again, working with you has been life-changing! I have appreciated your warmth and openness in each session and have been impressed by the breadth of your knowledge.
With each obstacle, opportunity and development, you have introduced me to tools that have challenged my thinking and helped me grow. What a positive experience of addressing some of my biggest challenges! I wouldn't be here if it weren't for our work."
- Mariel, CEO and Founder of Kuula.tv (UK)
"Megan naturally embodies all of the qualities that make a coach great. She is intuitive, attentive, insightful, and compassionate, and creates a safe space for deep trust and exponential growth.
She is a born leader whose coaching skills will help change the world for the better."
- Professor Matt Reed, University of Edinburgh (UK)
“Through my coaching sessions with Megan I was able to step away from my day to day work for a short time, and focus on what was important to me, and to my team.
Megan had a big impact on the planning of my big research idea, its development during the period of my coaching sessions and ultimately it being successfully awarded funding despite challenging financial circumstances for research funding.”
- Tresa, Managing Director and CEO - DY Works (India)
"What stood out most for me about Megan’s coaching was the instant trust and connection established during our conversation. She was brave and articulate and made me go to places that were tough to explore. She was compassionate while handling a sensitive topic.
At the same time, she was completely focussed on my goals and gently guided me to meaningful action. I was impressed by her coaching and the impact it had on me.”
- Prof. Sotiria Grek, University of Edinburgh (UK)
“Before I coached with Megan, I often felt insecure in my position and nervous about managing a team. As it happened, the coaching sessions began soon after the breaking out of a global pandemic; looking back, I could never have achieved all that I have during this period if it weren't for Megan.
Her unique style of asking the right questions, breaking down the problem to its component parts, and ability to listen are truly one of a kind. If you are looking to find your own personal and unique leadership style, if you are looking to tap into your raw, natural skills and personal flair, Megan is the coach for you.”
- Henning, Founder (Norway)
"Somehow Megan will gently dig into the inner you, and find what you knew was there - but couldn't get to all by yourself.
I came to our conversation with a work-related issue that had been on my shoulders for a few years. She helped me to get it off my shoulders in just one session!
Spending time with Megan is so worth it!"
- Otto, Director (UK/Rwanda)
“Before I coached with Megan, I felt overwhelmed and somewhat nervous of the period of transition that was ahead of me. I felt that a lack of direction and perceived pressures could cloud my horizon and stop me from enjoying the moment.
Since we’ve worked together, I’ve been able to trust myself more and found a sense of calmness throughout my daily life. By taking a step back and looking my circumstances from a distance and different perspectives I have gained great insights and clarity. I have been able to remain calm and collected, enjoying living in the moment.
The biggest positive change I’ve noticed from our work is that my outlook has become positive and open. I have increased insights in the things that make me tick and confidence to shape a life that is in line with them. If you’re thinking about coaching with Megan, you need to know that she deeply cares about her clients and really wants them to be the best version of themselves.
As a result of the coaching, I feel I have made a successful transition, from being stuck in a job to being full of energy for the next chapters in life. In fact, I have found a great job that ticks so many boxes. It is really exactly what I was looking for.”
- Beatrice, Surveyor (UK)
“Before I coached with Megan, I felt unsure of what direction I wanted to take to build my career over the next few years and beyond. Since we’ve worked together I’ve been able to understand what success/growth for me feels like rather than just focusing on the end goal achievement.
As a result of the coaching I feel more prepared, understand the values that motivate me and know the career goals that I hope to achieve.”
- Bianka, Sustainability Professional (Spain)
“Megan helped me make decisions based on what I want, not on what I fear.”
- Maria, Project Manager (Germany)
“Coaching with Megan was eye-opening, empowering, exciting, challenging and deliberating all the same time, and it truly changed my life.
Seeing Megan in action as a coach of forty young changemakers at Climate-KIC, I could not stop marvelling at her visible balance, clarity and warmth. I knew that if I would ever have the chance of getting coached by her individually, I would take it. And I did.
During our coaching we opened uncountable doors to new opportunities and adventures on an individual level. I am so very grateful."
- Theresa, Founder (Germany)
“Megan really took coaching to the next level for me.”
- Anna, Founder (UK)
"I decided to coach with Megan to see if she could help me to gain more clarity on what I actually wanted in life and what steps I needed to take to achieve this. Working with Megan helped me to have a clearer understanding of my values and priorities in life and the impact I want to make.
I was impressed by how Megan picks up on what's important to me, makes connections between big themes in my thinking, and is able to guide me on my way of self-discovery and personal growth. Megan is a talented coach and I highly recommend her."
- Phil, Communications Professional (UK)
"I found each of my sessions with Megan hugely helpful and pertinent to what I was facing that week. From the start I felt more clear about my values and what I love doing. I had started a new job in communications so the sessions helped me understand how I best work and how to bring my gifts to the new role.
The sessions felt both fun and spontaneous as well as being structured and clearly defined. Megan was insightful, empathetic and wise. I’ve grown in confidence and understanding my resourcefulness, and I love having a clearer sense of my gifts and values.
My favourite session was on understanding my inner leader or mentor - it has helped to solidify my sense of identity. I feel these tools will impact the rest of my career and life as a whole.”
- Katie, Brand Consultant (UK)
"Megan is an accomplished coach who treads the fine line between empathy and authority, with ease. She has a natural flow and perpetually curious style that led me into unexplored areas and left me with many questions to ponder.
If you are looking for a coach to challenge and stretch you; to listen with compassion and skill, Megan is top class. I highly recommend her."
- Kimberly, Consultant (USA)
“Megan quickly built trust and intimacy with me; truly dancing with me to explore the most meaningful areas in the moment. Her ability to listen, observe, and share insights is so natural and effortless she is able to create significant awareness in a short period of time. The use of metaphors was particularly helpful. They stuck with me and served as reminders of my learning beyond the session.
Megan helped me to really push through some significant barriers that I was unaware existed, that have enabled me to clear space for more meaningful work. She embodies the competencies of coaching. She has a very natural way of connecting with her clients, and graciously helping them to build awareness and develop meaningful experiments to grow.”
- Balint, Environmental Professional (Hungary)
“At Climate-KIC, we were helped by two fantastic individuals who were our professional coaches: Megan and Peter.
They were real magicians because they created an outstandingly supportive and positive atmosphere where everyone could share their ideas and free their creative energy. They enabled us to form business teams so smoothly and naturally that everyone found their role where could develop their talent.”
- Siona, Founder (UK)
"Megan got to the core of my issues quickly. She has patiently listened to my truths and challenged me when I needed it.
Her positive energy has spurred me on to make the changes in my life that I needed and I am so grateful that she did.
She has a wonderful way of getting to what really matters to me and lightly guiding by asking the right questions."
- Dr. Caroline Kirk, University of Edinburgh (UK)
"I have found coaching with Megan a fantastic and very positive experience. Being able to discuss issues with Megan that were blocking me from achieving my goals has been hugely valuable.
Megan has helped me work on improving my time management, setting goals that are achievable and manageable, but most importantly made me feel more positive and confident about myself."
- Boris, University of Edinburgh (UK)
“Megan has been transformative in my approach to time-management.
She has helped me understand some of my unhelpful behaviours with respect to time management, and has worked with me on concrete strategies to identify and prioritize things that matter most to me.”
- Catherine, Nurse (UK)
“Coaching with Megan was truly eye-opening, challenging, inspiring and ultimately liberating. I highly recommend her!
The whole experience of being coached by Megan helped me enhance my awareness of who I am, and reminded me that we may not always be in control of our circumstances, but we are in control of our responses to them."
- Eleanor Saunders, Climate-KIC (International)
“Megan is willing, collaborative, communicative, unwavering, wholehearted, disciplined, and positive. Working with her is an exceptionally good experience. I have no hesitation in recommending her as a coach and facilitator.
Across both summers when I worked with Megan, I saw her commitment to creating a strong working relationship with her co-coach and the participants, well in advance of the programme beginning. She is a warm and engaging facilitator who showed up wholeheartedly for the programme: willing to experiment and pivot in the face of changing demands, work collaboratively with local teams and personalities, and communicate her unwavering belief in the participants’ potential.
Megan takes her work very seriously but knows how to have fun at the same time. She modelled both the discipline required to get results, and the positivity to keep spirits up on long days. The programme is very challenging for coaches in terms of the intensity and expectation, and Megan excelled across the board. Her participants’ genuine affection for her and her co-coaches was quite remarkable, as were the learning outcomes that she and her colleagues generated.
I thoroughly recommend her as a coach and facilitator.”
