"[The] agreement that you helped negotiate … will let me breathe for a bit as I think about what next… Thank you so much."
"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."
