Lucy Seifert

As one of the most experienced coaches and trainers in the UK, my knowledge and approach have been developed over 30 years of coaching and training. I have worked with individuals and within organisations across all sectors, including NatWest IT R&D, Stuart Low Trust (charity) and University of Oxford. 
I  offer a unique blend of life coaching to define and attain your goals together with 1-2-1 training  in my areas of expertise: assertiveness, confidence, CVs/interviews, presenting & public speaking & stress/time management. My approach is problem-solving and developmental, to help you overcome barriers, fast-track skills and design & carry out action plans to take you to your goals. 
Since the start of the pandemic, for your safety, I have moved exclusively to online coaching and coaching by phone, along with email support. Sessions are mostly on Zoom, or mobile (phone, Facetime, WhatsApp). This also avoids travel time and creates greater flexibility for mutually convenient appointments. Distance is no object and I work with clients across the world from my base in London, UK.
I work with clients at all stages of their careers, from Chief Executives & top professionals to students who are starting their journeys. Coaching may cover professional or personal issues, or both.
Our sessions are confidential. You may choose to focus on a single issue or a range of challenges in your life. You may want to discuss matters raised by these unprecedented and uncertain times, if you feel anxious about the future, not knowing what it may bring. You might want to develop your communication skills in general or to develop your confidence to manage others. This could involve managing those you report to, as well as staff who report to you. Perhaps you want to make a detailed action plan to fulfil a dream.
Perhaps you are…

unclear about your goals and directions?
finding it hard to organise your day productively?
having relationship difficulties, at home or with colleagues?
mindful of your big plan and welcome support and encouragement to achieve it?

Coaching will help you to… 

Be organised and in control of your time, achieving a greater work-life balance.
Get your CV to the top of the pile & give you the competitive edge at interviews.
Present yourself confidently at meetings and when speaking in public.
Assert yourself both personally and professionally.
Overall to clarify your goals and make action plans to attain them.                 

Together we will explore how to overcome obstacles and design strategies to achieve what you wish for. You will be able to use this time to grow your self-esteem and a greater sense of well-being for the future.
