“A totally different, inspiring approach to any training I’ve had previously”

Frank Ralph, Senior Art Director, Momentum Worldwide

“Claudie took time to really understand who we are, what we do and how we do it - and then provided a training plan that addressed all of our needs, as well as identifying areas where there was a need for further development. Claudie has a very creative, yet commercially astute approach, is driven by results and is a pleasure to work with.”

Stuart Becker, MD, HRG

“Claudie's training was well structured and well received by our senior managers. Her negotiation skills training was widely used by the business and helped with understanding customer needs. Her training on coaching was similarly helpful.”

Nick Shanagher, MD, New Trade Publishing

"Edge Thinking has helped my company strongly clarify our direction and priorities as well as tackle some long term issues very successfully. Their methodology works and delivers immediate results."

Maurice Flynn, MD, Open Doors New Business and Marketing Consultancy

“I have worked with Claudie on a number of projects since 2007, in which she has provided coaching, facilitation and bespoke training services. Creative, insightful and focused, Claudie is a top notch professional who works to the highest standards of delivery and integrity. An individual with a depth and breadth of knowledge, skills and experience, Claudie is fantastic at ‘holding the space’ for individuals and organisations (as a coach or facilitator) to explore and act on the most fruitful options for strategic development. As a training provider, she is able to deliver bespoke solutions in a truly creative way that, ultimately, has real and lasting impact on all involved. I have no hesitation in recommending Claudie. Work with her has been both a pleasure and a honour!”

Stephanie Haughton-Campbell, Creative Consultant

"It was really one of the best training days I’ve had for a long time."

Mark Greco, Engagement Manager, Creative and Cultural Skills

“"Cliff-diving, christianity, coaching" - the 'C's in my list of things to avoid. I was partnered with Claudie as a coach while on the Music Leader's Network. I was cynical - but Claudie engaged me immediately. She infiltrates your thinking. Her influence is subtle but overwhelming. Together we have scaled the depths of my neurosis and heights of my hopes. The conventional patterns of my thinking and behaviour have been re-routed to connect more integrally with the values I hold closest and the ambitions dearest. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been partnered with such a gifted coach. If you get the chance - take it!”

Jane Pollard, Head of Strategy, Beggars Group

“Claudie has facilitated some remarkable sessions as part of the Music Leaders Network with skill, confidence and diplomacy. Individually, I’ve found her dedicated coaching style to be very open and honest, as well as challenging and supportive in the right measures. She has had an immediate impact on how I value my existing skills and I know that this is only just the start of that development.

Charlotte Ray, Director, PRS Foundation

"Claudie and the Edge Thinking team break the mould of stereo-typical coaches and 'professional development gurus'. They are always aware of the people they are talking to and their approach to coaching, training and professional development is fresh and bespoke.”

Rebecca Taylor, MIU, Arts Institute

Claudie facilitated a workshop with my team helping us to develop our vision and values. Not only was the day itself inspiring, enjoyable and extremely productive for everyone there, but the preparation and support before the event was excellent and the resources she produced were invaluable. Throughout the whole process, Claudie worked with me to understand what I wanted to achieve and so created a tailor-made day which enabled us to develop our five year strategy from a solid basis with shared values. I can whole-heartedly recommend Claudie as a sensitive, challenging and insightful facilitator and coach.
