The support offered to Galloway Hughes by HR Source has been invaluable.

Being able to drop an email or pick up the phone to question what action to take in various areas of people management; from maternity and absence queries through to improving performance; we were always pleased with the advice given.

The quick resolve has always saved us a headache, our time and been a worthwhile resource.

Working with a coach was a step into the unknown – I wanted to know what it ‘feels’ like to work with a professional coach, I wanted to check out the benefits and understand what sort of difference could be made due to working together rather than going solo.

The professionalism, respect and safe space which Adelaide provided offered a solid foundation from where we started our 7 sessions between May and June 2020. There’s no doubt I was a little nervous and apprehensive about opening up – Adelaide never judged or saw this as an issue – her warmth, years of experience and love of working with people shone through – Adelaide the made me more relaxed and enabled me to open up, to say things out loud which I had only ever internalised.

Our early sessions truly empowered me. Adelaide really listened to me and helped me to listen to myself. With the careful introduction of ‘homework’ to aid my reflection between sessions, Adelaide helped me look deeply at what is important to me and what was holding me back. PUR sessions always resulted in an action plan and always ended with me really motivated with clear steps to take, knowing how and when I was going to progress.

It was great to work together, I am SO grateful to have had these sessions with Adelaide – her sense of humour, her support, her professionalism, her skilled listening and questioning were all central to the growth in clarity and confidence which I achieved.

I recommend working with Adelaide and would be happy to have a chat with anyone who is considering doing so if they would like to ask any questions.

I have worked with Adelaide on a number of projects including the creation of the Live Event Rigger apprenticeship which she led on. Adelaide also sits on the National Rigging Advisory Group of which she is a valuable member.
Given Adelaide's advanced knowledge of HR subject matter together with apprenticeships I would not hesitate to recommend her to other employers.

Even coaches need coaches! I approached Adelaide at a time where I felt like I was lacking motivation and clarity on my direction, we spent a number of sessions helping me to define my personal values, this instantly helped unblock some of the things getting in my way, and create clarity and get that feeling of passion and motivation back. Adelaide is a great coach, very easy to talk to, challenged me at the right points and really helped me see things from a different point of view.
