Testimonials

Cecilie has transformed my view and experience of executive coaching. The combination of neuroscience, psychology and Cecilie’s incredible experience of the personal challenges many senior professionals face, helped me transition into a new senior position, enjoy my job again and overcome some significant confidence challenges.

VP, Retail, Denmark

One of my key team members – who leads asignificant subset of what we do – has always had a blind spot, tending to over-think and over-stress, so we turned to CN8 for support. After each meeting, I could see in front of me the difference that Cecilie was making. His team noticed as well, as did the wider business around him, and the feedback received from clients and customers improved. I knew Cecilie was good, but what I saw take place I would have thought to be impossible a year ago. I honestly could not recommend her enough.

Meeting and working with Cecilie has, without doubt, been the most transformative thing to happen to me.

CPO, Financial Services, UK

The (executive) team left the session better off than they started and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend CN8 for senior team development. It was a tough crowd and Cecilie’s calm yet probing demeanour ensured everyone participated. Thank you again.

Chief People Officer, Financial Services, UK

What worked so well for me with Cecilie was the fluid blend of neuroscience, psychology, and her own personal experience as an Exec business leader herself. That translated into compassionate understanding and empathy in our sessions, greater relevant insights for me and month-on-month development that I felt in my role performance. Without doubt I would highly recommend Cecilie, and I do hope we can work together again in the future.

Executive Board Member, Financial Services, UK

The session with CN8 was transformative for our team, and I have seen a noticeable improvement in the way that the team navigates challenging situations and pulls together to play to our strengths and achieve the best outcome for everyone.

Chief People Officer, Fintech, UK

The coaching was incredibly helpful to me because it validated the negative feelings and lack of self-worth that I was experiencing and helped me understand that this wasn’t peculiar to me or in any way unusual. I came to understand the reason for feeling the way that I did and I was provided with the necessary tools and steps to help reframe and adjust my thinking so that I redirected my thoughts and energies into more positive outcomes. Cecilie was very empathetic, warm and encouraging whilst at the same being able to challenge and call me out. I really enjoyed the process; it has helped me immeasurably and I highly recommend it.

Managing Director, Investment Banking, South Africa

I have known Cecilie for 5+ years and have been a delighted client during that time. Her analytical skills, coupled with a non-invasive EQ and an encyclopaedic appreciation of human behaviour has delivered a phenomenal ROI every time! If you have picked the right team, but their performance is under par, Cecilie Søndergaard Nielsen has the answer.
