Our clients
Our mission at ADE, ultimately, is to enable individuals and organisations to the get the most out of themselves, and each other. It sounds so simple, but experience shows there are a multitude of internal and external factors that can stand in the way.
We tend to work with aspiring or existing leaders, especially through times of change. We also partner with organisations who are seeking to better understand their key people. Our clients are often facing key transition or decision points; they have questions, they have doubts, they have beliefs and ambitions, which they need help to unlock.
Testimonials about Rhian
I had the pleasure of partnering with Rhian when I was mandated by the Campari CEO to put a development structure in place for making existing leaders better and identifying tomorrow's leaders today. […] In a short period of time these new initiatives have been internalized in the Campari culture and are now a cornerstone of our leadership development agenda. This is in my opinion a true mark of success. […] Rhian is highly respected in the Campari eco system as an outstanding professional whose commitment, passion and understanding of our business is second to none. On a personal level she has been a pleasure to work with and I would rate her in the top 1 percentile of professionals in her area. A great example of excellence over time and with consistency.
Vijay Kashyap MAICD, Consulting Human Resources & Transformation Director (quoted in his capacity as Senior Director, Global Human Resources at Campari)
-------------------------------------------------
Rhian has helped me to become the better version of myself. Over multiple coaching sessions, she helped me not just to realize my strengths, but more importantly how to leverage them in the workplace. With some well -placed challenge and reflection, I became both more efficient and more effective at my job. The coaching sessions were like a journey, and as a result, leadership comes much more naturally to me now.
Area Commercial Director, Global Pharmaceutical Company
-------------------------------------------------
Rhian’s coaching guided me through a key point of transition in my leadership journey, as I sought to expand my remit and take on even more senior roles within the company. Coaching was new to me at the time: I valued both Rhian’s professionalism, knowledge and ability to embed herself in our company culture, and her way to engage with me and build the trust needed for a very enriching experience. She was not only able to empathise with my challenges but to call me out on them, holding me to account on the actions I proposed to take. The coaching provided me with welcome time and space to think, someone to challenge me as well as to discuss the possibilities with.
A great experience for professional and personal growth that I definitely recommend, and I have used since then to further develop talents working in my teams.
Andrea Neri, Country Managing Director at Campari Schweiz
-------------------------------------------------
Working with Rhian has been a great experience. Both, the psychological assessment as well as the subsequent coaching were done in a very thoughtful way, adapting to my personal circumstances and needs, rather than following a strict rulebook and applying a blanket approach.
Even greater was, that recommendations, which came out of the coaching session, and which were meant to direct my personal development, were not only of good use to me, but also suitable for me to use and recommend to other colleagues (such as certain techniques and some literature).
