Dear Vlatka, Thank you very much indeed for the excellent coaching session, which I found very useful. I have already started using the exercises.
Ms H.D., Chief Executive, Public Service Organisation, UK
I have been most fortunate to have had Professor Vlatka Hlupic as my executive coach. After only one session with her, my confidence has increased and some of my worries were dealt with. Her coaching has been fantastic illustration of her positive power. I am so looking forward to the next session with her.
Dr N.C.A., Founder and Director of Thai Group of Companies, UK
Dear Vlatka, I wanted to thank you for your advice, support and coaching over the recent months. Reflecting on the sessions, I was surprised by the breadth and depths of topics we covered. It has certainly helped me to become more self-aware and to value allocating time to reflect. I feel more comfortable in dealing with difficult topics and contributing to the senior management team. It has given me improved confidence and I am able to speak more freely and deal more readily with difficult subjects. I have gained many useful skills and a handy personal toolkit of exercises I can readily employ for an array of issues. Importantly, I have had the confidence to achieve a better work-life balance and a more reflective and balanced view of my personal and professional goals.
Thank you again for your support and I do hope we will keep in touch.
Mr P.N., Director, Public Service Organisation, UK
Dear Vlatka
Thank you thank you and thank you again for your advice and coaching exercises. They have helped me on a daily basis deal with the whirlwind that is my life whether it is a recalcitrant toddler or a demanding MD. Whenever I feel myself boiling up I use those tools to return me to a gentle simmer. I cannot tell you how much these exercises have helped me return to work after baby number 2 in good humour, lay down the basis for the career that I want to have rather than the one I feel stuck with and the ability to deal with people objectively and calmly.
Mrs A.F., Managing Editor, Major Publishing Company, UK
Vlatka is very enthusiastic, positive, motivational and has a wide range of tools, techniques and strategies to offer. She has helped me to improve both my confidence and my work/life balance with a very varied range of techniques.
Mrs R.P., Director, Public Service Organisation
I run my own business and, although things were going well for me, I felt that I would benefit from taking a wider perspective. I was starting to get a little bogged down and some of my thinking patterns needed to be reviewed and encouraged to develop.
Vlatka’s has a calm yet enthusiastic approach to her coaching. I found she was very perceptive and able to identify the kind of person I am, what drives me forward and how I learn best. She was very good at helping me to see the benefits of a better life/work balance and gave me the tools to make the necessary changes. She invited me to try out a number of exercises, both practical and mental, which I found to be really useful and effective.
I came away from my sessions with Vlatka feeling energised and focussed and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in a similar situation to my own.
Ms L.E, Company Director in Tourism Sector
This is a testimonial for Dr Hlupic’s coaching services. She has helped me identify the key areas in which my personal and professional development can help me achieve my potential. This has meant that not only am I able to focus on the key areas in which I can succeed, but also enabled me to develop into new areas of excellence. Her ability to enable me to excel in my potential has brought about new opportunities for me that I had previously been unable to comprehend or take up. As a result of her coaching I am now able to achieve excellence and promote it in those around me such as my students.

Examples of feedback for Professor Hlupic’s inaugural professorial lecture
What an inspiring speech! You definitely showed that there can be heart and soul in a lecture while still being academically comprehensive—a groundbreaking approach to professorship.
Competency Manager, Global Blue Chip IT Consulting Company
I was very privileged to attend Professor Hlupic’s inaugural lecture. She did an amazing job of relating academic research to real-life business concepts. Her lecture was also very inspiring in terms of its innovation and positive energy.
Senior Manager, Global Blue Chip Management Consulting and Technology Services Company
Thank you very much for inviting me to your inaugural lecture; it was an honour to be part of this special event. And also many thanks for the great lecture I really enjoyed and the notes on top, which is lovely. I had difficulties writing everything down, so the slides are perfect.
It was a great lecture, highly interesting – of course – but also very entertaining.
I certainly appreciated that it wasn’t a traditional lecture in presentation but full off expertise and wisdom, as one would expect. I’m sure the companies will enjoy having you tickling their brains.Again, many thanks for the great evening.
Company Director, Executive Coaching and Project Management, UK
Professor Hlupic has shown at her Inaugural Lecture what every company that wants a bright future should apply to their management philosophy, and that is a modern paradigm based on knowledge partners/employees who have no boundaries in their everyday tasks.
