Coaching Success with London Borough of Barking and Dagenham
Premier Partnership is proud to celebrate the exceptional work of one of our talented trainers and coaches, Rukshana Horwood, who has received heartfelt praise from a staff member at the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham (LBBD) following a successful coaching programme.
The employee, who participated in one of Rukshana’s coaching sessions last year, shared glowing feedback on the impact of the experience:
“I found the sessions incredibly useful, and the support provided was invaluable and really appreciated. Rukshana is very knowledgeable and provides practical advice. I took onboard some of her recommendations and was successful in gaining an internal promotion.”
A year later, the participant reflected on how the coaching continues to shape their professional journey:
“I am now almost one year in the role, and I am enjoying it as well as still growing into the job. There are so many areas within this service area with lots of learning opportunities. You were an amazing coach.”
A Strong Partnership in Professional Development
Rukshana, who has been collaborating with LBBD for over five
years, praised the council’s dedication to nurturing its people:
“LBBD are a hugely supportive council, and I have been
working with them for over five years now. They are very passionate about
developing their people, so they always offer coaching and support.”
This powerful testimonial highlights both the
transformative power of coaching and the value of sustained partnerships in
driving professional growth across public sector organisations.
