A really clear, engaging, and well-structured session! I loved how scientific concepts were made so easy to follow, and the Menti integration kept the audience brilliantly engaged. The 'reset' section was a personal favourite. Thank you Beth!
-InnovateHer: The Power of Self Acceptance Workshop
As a salesperson, I am always looking for ways to improve on my public speaking skills. I believe it’s a skill that is never finished refining. One of my colleagues mentioned that Beth’s course helped her a lot and I thought it would be very worthwhile to try out myself. Beth helped me a lot with the mental aspect if public speaking, assisting me to become a more confident speaker.
She was extremely friendly and helpful with all of our courses! I would definitely recommend to anyone who is interested in public speaking courses. We touched on many things I’ve never gotten to in similar courses before.
-Mike Carlon - Sales Manager at FundApps
I've been working with Beth for four years, and she continues to be a driving force in my growth, challenging me while empowering me to find my voice as a leader.
She helped me figure out what authentic and embodied leadership looks like to me, helping me find my own unique leadership presence: who I am and how I am here to create positive change in the world.
-Madelyn Louipenn - Director of People Operations & Culture
Working with Beth over the past five years has been transformational.
Through her executive coaching, I’ve grown from Senior Director to Vice President to General Manager of Smartsheet’s EMEA business.
Beth has been instrumental in helping me deliver multiple keynotes with confidence and impact, including at Smartsheet’s inaugural customer conference outside the US, addressing an audience of over 400 customers.
Her guidance was crucial as I navigated the EMEA team through organisational transformation, economic instability, complex restructures, and a Public-Private transition. Throughout these challenges, we not only maintained morale but also exceeded our KPIs.
For any senior leader seeking clear strategy, authentic leadership presence, and performance under pressure, Beth is the coach you want in your corner.
Sarfraz Ali - Vice President & General Manager, EMEA
I first began work with Beth Hope in 2020, as an individual contributor working for Smartsheet Ltd. I was at a crossroads in my career, where I had been invited to interview for a position in management at the organisation. This was the basis of the beginning of my work with Beth at &Hope - and it was a success!
However, the step to move from an individual contributor to a first line manager opened up a new perspective for me on the power of coaching, and Beth’s unique and valuable approach to both personal and professional coaching unlocked a combination of mindset, competence and confidence that has supported me throughout my career. Since beginning our work:
We have spent over 70 hours of 121 coaching sessions.
Navigated opportunities to develop and grow in my professional career:
Move from IC -> 1st Line -> 2nd Line leadership positions
6 promotions in 6 years.
Supported me in personal growth:
Confidence in both professional and personal scenarios
Planning for the future and the impact of my career on this planning
Family life, personal life and work-life balance.
Will Grieveson - Senior Regional Director.
Beth is a fantastic coach and is someone who you can really feel at ease with whatever the matter is. Extremely kind and very up front with ensuring you don't feel judged and that you really can use the space to say whatever you feel you need to. She's a great listener and will absorb all info and pick moments to challenge you or ask you specific questions about your situation that help to better clarify your thoughts. Beth is really great at helping you compartmentalise things and provides you with processes you can use in day to day life when faced with situations that you can think about and action. She's also great at bringing you back to the bigger picture and reminding yourself why you're in coaching and what you want out of it at the end.

I came to coaching looking for guidance and a sounding board for my next career steps. Beth’s friendly approach came at the right time, and working with her has brought me clarity around my current career path and a better understanding of what’s next. One of the most impactful moments was a visual exercise that helped me view my options in a much clearer and simpler way. If you’re considering coaching, I’d say: book a few sessions! I’m already looking forward to booking more.

I’m going to be presenting in front of 200 people…I’m still using the process and practises that Beth & I did together during our coaching

Beth spoke at our Xero UK Kick Off Conference which is for all of our UK staff (around 400 employees). She was our customer story sharing her insights and journey as a business owner and how Xero has supported that. Beth had the audience completely captivated with her story and had an incredible response.

Beth is truly an incredible coach and person. She is a bright light shining with positivity, compassion, and confidence. During my 6-month coaching program, I achieved new heights in my personal development that I was never able to reach before. I have done therapy in the past but never worked with a life coach. This was an extremely impactful experience for me. Beth helped me unblock so many things in my life that were deeply rooted. After every coaching call, I left feeling energized and hopeful.
Beth supported me in so many ways. She is caring, curious, and an exceptional listener. I feel so grateful to have connected with Beth and would highly recommend her coaching services to anyone who is seeking life improvement.

Beth Hope is a talented, patient, emotionally intelligent coach who aided me through my interview process. She listened to my concerns regarding interviewing and highlighted how my self-doubt might be impacting my performance under pressure. She prepared me through several practice interviews ahead of time, during which she tailored questions according to the role I was pursuing.
She taught me how to structure my thoughts and have confidence in my own ability. When I went to officially interview I felt relaxed and confident as a result of the preparation we did together.
I am delighted to say that thanks to her help, I got the job I wanted. I can not recommend Beth highly enough!
— Tamara, now HRBP
Beth gave me the confidence to have the difficult conversation around salary negotiations. She provided great support every step of the way and I ended up with the salary (and job!) that I wanted.
— Victoria, Healthcare Account Manager
Beth is a natural coach and a great listener. She approaches her clients with great patience and understanding. She listens deeply and observes, then helps to unravel the real reasons for any underlying issues. She has guided me through some difficult situations at a work place and gave me a number of tools to use at a work place with a toxic culture.
— Anonymous, Financial Controller
I was struggling to decide what the right path was for me in terms of two job offers. It was great to take the time with Beth to talk these through and reassess what I really want from my upcoming career move.

Beth came and delivered a two-hour decision making, goal setting and effective team working session to my team. This equipped them with highly useful knowledge about how to recognise personality differences to reduce conflict, break down projects and complex decisions into easily manageable chunks and gain better insight into their own working preferences. My team have mentioned the positive impact this session has had on numerous occasions since with one saying that he learned more from it than from a two-day communications course with a different training provider.
— Katy, Fraud & Investigations Manager, Waitrose
Working with Beth helped me identify that the only thing holding me back was myself. With her professional, non judgmental and empathetic guidance I built on my previous learnings from past CBT sessions and was able to tackle situations that I had previously found difficult…or avoided all together! Thanks to Beth, I have a new found confidence in myself both in a personal and professional capacity; as a direct result I am venturing far beyond my ‘comfort zone’ and contemplating opportunities that I would have once shied away from.

It sounds like a cliche, but at Depop we genuinely care about our People. We’ve launched our own Mental Health Month which we’ll be repeating each May, complete with workshops and initiatives to support, inform and raise awareness. One of these initiatives was bringing in Beth.
Beth worked with us for 3 days, meeting 21 employees who each signed up for a one to one, 45 minute coaching session. The feedback we had from this was outstanding. This was our highest rated initiative with our people finding this a fantastic way to go in-depth confidentially on issues, in a short space of time, so that they felt boosted and gained clarity. In our feedback surveys, 87% found their session inspiring, 100% found it useful, and 93% would recommend it to colleagues. Due to the success of this, we are hoping to bring Beth back again later in the year and make these sessions a regular feature of life at Depop, and is an investment we are convinced in making for our people.
— Chris, Director of People, Depop
Beth and I started our journey in May and the progression I have seen in my life, as well as myself is monumental. I am now at a stage of my life where I can look back and say I am bloody proud of myself.
Thank you Beth for this amazing journey, you have helped me get the answers I did not realise I had within, and develop myself to be a better version of myself. I will be continuing to recommend you!

I got recommended to see Beth by my sister… I’ve always had a problem with letting my mind take over what I wanted and feelings like I can never make the right decision. Beth directed me on a path to start liking how I look and actually making good choices to a healthy better me! I felt like I got a tiny grip of control again!

Beth joined Talentful on multiple occasions to add value to our internal and external events. The first was as a member of an event panel, discussing the topic of coaching, and the second was as a guest presenter for an internal lunch and learn. Beth was key to ensuring the dialogue throughout both events was relevant, relatable and engaging – thank you, Beth!
— Senior People & Culture Manager, Talentful
I had a coaching session with Beth as I was starting to explore the opportunity to take a new direction in my career. Before our session I was filled with fears, doubts and uncertainties. After just a 2 hour one on one with Beth, I had reached a light bulb moment and I left with a clear goals roadmap and the start of an action plan. Beth was attentive, encouraging and pragmatic at the same time which was hugely appreciated. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a Coach.
— Deb, Head of HR
Wow what can I say about all the coaching Beth has done with me is beyond amazing.
I was in such a dark place and I couldn’t see a way out and in comes Beth. I saw an article about her and the work she is doing and from an initial consultation I knew this would be the best decision I ever made.
Starting my journey I didn’t know where to go especially quitting my job due to, too much emotional stress and my first session everything began to click. I felt truly the happiest after that session and as my sessions went on everything became clearer and so wonderful.
Beth gave me tools I never knew I had and showed me that just by listening to myself more and giving the full credit my outlook can change and it did. I have managed to become so happy and radiate happiness to my family and friends.
I have finally embraced the truest happiest version of myself which was always there just needed to be talked to.
Thank you so much Beth for everything.
— Hardeep
I feel so lucky to have met Beth.
I’ve been working with her for a few months now and she really is inspirational. She has a talent for getting to the root causes to why I react the way I do to certain situations. If I’ve struggled to articulate how I’m feeling her questions are always spot on and provide clarity. She has helped me visualise the thoughts and feelings that block me from moving forward. Then to come up with strategies to manage negativity and destructive habits.
Beth makes you feel anything is possible, is kind understanding and truly wants the best for her clients.

Working with Beth was by far the best investment I have ever made.
By investing time into myself I was able to discuss my professional and personal goals as well as address some of the anxieties I had been battling with from years ago.
Beth created a welcoming and safe environment where I could trust and discuss my feelings freely with no judgement or bias. The sessions themselves were organic but worked through clear tools and techniques to help me in everyday life. No topic was off limits – I could talk to Beth about anything.
The sessions challenged me, inspired me and gave me a launch pad to build a professional and personal plan to better my future. But most importantly Beth helped me regain confidence, become honest with myself and be kind to myself.
I had never tried Life Coaching before and all I can say is I wish I had reached out sooner. I can’t recommend Beth enough – she is professional, down to earth, perceptive, empathic and creates motivating sessions.
— Sales Manager
We were delighted to have Beth Hope working across a variety of Stone Changes initiatives and programmes.
As part of The Change Café: a series of interviews with experts across change psychology, management and leadership, and as part of The Manager’s Tribe coffee-morning: a virtual safe haven for female professional managers, Beth shared invaluable insights around ‘Confidence during Change’ and how we can tap into a renewable source of authentic confidence even in the most challenging of times.
Beth also contributed to a newly launched coaching e-learning programme catered towards women leaders and delivered a well-received module of video classes on Authentic Confidence. Beth also participated as a guest speaker in the Event Manager >> Project Manager Series, a programme of coffee chats aiming to support Event Managers who are facing redundancy and by drawing on both her events and HR background, Beth delivered an excellent session sharing practical interview techniques and tricks.
It has been a pleasure working with Beth, a true ray of sunshine in what has been a dark time for many.
