Client Testimonials


What our clients are saying:


" Thank you so much for the amazing support and assistance you gave me as my mentor & coach. As you know, it was a very difficult time for me and your professional skill, personal attributes and support really made the difference. I always had the feeling that you believed in me which was critical when I was not so sure of things myself.

Adette, you have my deepest gratitude"
Coaching Client, Sydney


“I have worked closely with Adette over a number of years, and have benefited greatly from her support and guidance. She consistently demonstrates an ability to provide direct but supportive input and feedback on many aspects of my development as a business professional. Adette always maintains the highest standards of ethics and professionalism in her work, and I continue to seek (and highly value) her counsel and opinions whenever I need them.”

GM, Recruitment - One of Australia's Largest Retail Groups

"Adette was my coach for twelve weeks. During that time we covered a lot of ground, much of it personal, which included subjects I have not discussed with other people. Adette was always fully focused on me. Her questions were clear, concise, easy to understand and forced you to reflect before answering. Her manner was easy going, however with a tough core. Adette is a very good listener who was able to intuitively assess my responses to determine whether there was more to uncover or discuss. Adette approached each coaching session with the knowledge gained from previous sessions and would raise points from those previous session if relevant - confirming that she was listening and had taken an interest in each session.

I believe Adette was able to assimilate theory into practice in a very professional and personal way that made it very easy, as the coachee, to open up and get the best out of each coaching session."

Senior Sergeant, Australian Defense Force


"I want to thank you for your contribution to building the best sourcing team in the industry. “Getting the right people on the bus” is one of the most critical tasks of building an organization and you have helped us immensely in getting this done successfully in the APAC region. You took on full accountability for understanding the business needs, even while we were working through that ourselves, and ensuring communication was ongoing so that we were aligned on the goals and needs of the roles.

It has been a pleasure working with you and I want to wish you tremendous success in your future endeavors."

Global VP, Global Online Travel Provider

"I had life coaching from Adette Kagan, this occurred for six sessions.

In these sessions Adette and I did the following:
  • Wheel of Life
  • Adette asked me specific questions to help and guide me through particular problem areas, focusing on the goals I wanted to achieve.
I feel I benefited immensely from these sessions as it made me more focused on my goals, I found it really helped being able to discuss goals with Adette and if I found I had any problems achieving these goals it was great to be able to go to Adette and work through it. I learnt mechanisms I could employ to help achieve my goals (eg: food and exercise diaries).

Overall I found these six sessions very beneficial and empowering as it made me realise I could do what I wanted to do with my life."

Claims Administration Officer, Large Insurance Company


"Adette has an amazing talent for researching and finding quality candidates, whatever role we throw at her! We have found the majority of the successful candidates deliver exceptional performance for our business, with a better success rate than our other routes of sourcing candidates.

Her talents of quickly building rapport, asking great questions and getting to the root of an issue are great for recruitment but also for coaching too. Adette has formally and informally coached people in our business with impressive results."

HR Director, Asia Pac – Global Online Travel Provider

"I am very pleased to be writing this Testimonial for Adette. Over the past year I have been in contact with Adette six times. I found Adette to be very supportive, warm, easy to talk to, and ever so patient. Adette guided me through what I thought was a tough assignment and observed my progress. I intuitively had the feeling that Adette was right there along-side and barracking for me. By choosing Adette you will be guided by a very competent and skilled person. "
