Adele was the kindest most sincere person I have ever had the opportunity to meet. She handled every situation that I gave her with finesse and tact.

Asanda
It was such a pleasure working with Adèle on my CV. She is very professional, knows her work and communicates well with you.
I valued her advice on what was appropriate to include and what was not. If you are new to something, it helps to have someone who does not simply do what you say you want. Sharing her experiences, ensured I had a CV better than I had in mind.
I would definitely recommend working with Adèle. I know I will again!

What do you love most about your job?
Working with a diverse group of clients can be challenging but is also extremely rewarding. There is never a dull moment on any given day, as every business and individual has their own unique challenges, goals, needs and requirements. It is a special privilege to be able to invest in someone else's career, journey and/or business.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Having been in HR for a number of years where coaching and mentoring were part of my job and then consulting for many years, the transition came naturally.
