“Thanks to Imogen’s continuous efforts in managing difficult conversations with my employer, I have felt extremely supported since day one. Imogen’s support … has enabled me to bring the power back and regain control of a highly stressful situation. Imogen’s guidance throughout meant I was well informed every step of the way and meant I explored every possibly opportunity.”
“Imogen has been great to work with. She has good availability, is receptive and supportive whilst offering helpful well founded advice. Her communications are well considered and concise. She makes no secret of being a working Mum and manages that and her availability well around it. She has engaged with other colleagues and professional friends as required and to good effect. I have been extremely grateful for her help, support and understanding during a very difficult period of my employment.”
