I've been an executive coach for over 12 years and passionately believe in the power of coaching. My experience with Hannah has been transformational. She introduced me to some totally new concepts, supported by detailed notes and further reading which helped me re-frame and re-think big life changing perspectives. She is a master at her craft and I can't recommend her highly enough. Thank you Hannah!
While I've always understood the importance of adapting to changing workplace demands and environments, this experience made me realise that I had subconsciously been treating stability as one of my core career priorities. Since joining the group career coaching session, I have learnt new prespectives on my personality and talents and taken active steps to make a change for the better. Would recommend joining Hannah's coaching session regardless of whether you are at a cross road or on track!

I reached out to Hannah at the beginning of the year, knowing that 2024 was going to be a year of transitioning for me in my career. I was ready to let go of unhelpful thought patterns and beliefs that were causing me to doubt my own abilities and were holding me back. Hannah gently guided me, helping me spot the thinking patterns and behaviours that were stopping my growth and gave me the courage to step up and reclaim my time and energy. I am truly in a different place and I am excited as to where 2025 will lead me. Thank you Hannah.
The Career Design Mastermind gave me the space, time and perspective that I needed to work on myself and grow. Although it is focused on changing your career, it affects other areas of life as well and gave me the focus and serenity I lacked before.
I would highly recommend the Career Design Mastermind. It contains tools for self-discovery, realisation of values, mission and life purpose, both inside and outside of your career (I know it says this on the tin - but I can confirm it really does!) The course led me to attain a new career opportunity, as well as elevate skills outside of my career that I am passionate about (events management, yoga teacher training). I am really grateful to Hannah for the valuable coaching sessions, as well as Cohort 5, for their support throughout the process.
Investing time in the Career Design Mastermind has probably been the best thing I have done for my career so far. I was working in a job role/career path that I knew was getting me nowhere. Feeling stuck but not sure how to create change. Fast forward 6 months and the clarity and confidence I feel in managing my career has transformed completely. I highly recommend the course for all STEM women, no matter your job sector/role. Thank you Hannah for all your advice and support!

The course was transformational for me and those around me.
Hannah delivered a fantastic workshop to a group of Women and Men on "Career Change: What to do when it's out of your control'. The session was engaging, interactive with practical takeaways that were valuable and actionable. I would recommend this to anybody keen to progress themselves and learn how to handle change like a pro.
Hannah helped me through a career pivot completely outside my perceived comfort zone into a role that aligns with my natural talents and abilities, she has provided me with tools and skills to ensure I show up as the best version of myself in all areas of my life; be that work, home, mother, wife, myself. I cannot thank Hannah enough and look forward to continuing to work with her in the future.
My coaching with Hannah allowed me to obtain a better understanding of my purpose, own my natural talents, identify my patterns and emotional allergies, and much more. As a result, I have been able to make pivots in my career towards greater authenticity and alignment that I may not have envisaged doing previously. I am truly grateful to have had her support on my development journey.
Hannah's skill at engaging, coaching and teaching individuals and groups on a wealth of topics is a pleasure to watch. She creatively tailors content to a specific audience and scaffolds learning effectively. Hannah can take attendees who are sceptical about trying the platform to competent users in a matter of hours, not only showing the strategies needed but also effortlessly demonstrating the value. I can highly recommend Hannah as a trainer and thank her for her support of the Faraday Institution talent development initiatives.
Sessions with Hannah have been so valuable, both at the time and afterwards. I have worked on and progressed through my own challenges and have seen noticeable improvements. The tools Hannah has given me, will no doubt help me in moving forward and to deal with challenges ahead. Group coaching has been insightful in dealing with my time and energy management and has given me resources enabling me to take control of my goals and objectives in all parts of my life and career. Thank you Hannah!
Hannah ran a workshop for a group of people at my company focused on being your authentic self at work. The session was enlightening and we all learned so much about ourselves. This workshop was also run online and was extremely popular with almost 200 people tuning in! Hannah's delivery of workshops is both professional and friendly so it always feels like a safe space to talk and share ideas. Can't wait for more sessions!
Hannah helped me look deeply inwards and empower my true self over my tendency to overthink and loud self-limiting thoughts. She helped me find words to articulate what I wanted to do and make decisions to drive my career forward. This resulted in me making a successful move to a new role in a different business unit, and secure a promotion within a year. I left our sessions feeling energised and I continue to feel the impact of our 1-2-1 sessions to this date. I remain in her Momentum group where I have met inspiring group of fellow STEM women.
I have now completed my 12 sessions wit Hannah and it has been an invaluable experience. She has given me an extensive toolkit of exercises and insights to access when needed and empowered me to have confidence in the abilities that I already hold. Although a work in progress, What I have achieved in the time working with Hannah has fast tracked this and I cannot wait to continue working together. I would throughly recommend working with Hannah.
Hannah delivered a workshop at the University of Bristol on how to handle criticism in academia effectively. The session was really well-received, and we had lots of positive feedback from students including the following: “Hannah was so engaging - which is always a challenge in Zoom. I really felt it has armed me with some tools to deal with the unpredictability of forms of feedback in academia”; “I enjoyed interactive communication and the content that truly made me think about myself and my relationships with others. It was thought-provoking”. Thank you Hannah for leading a great session!
I am deeply invested in various activities outside of my career, as a result, I had a hard time finding balance between my personal and professional lives. So when I encountered Hannah, her programme helped me gain clarity on my needs and ways to anchor a morning routine and implement your weekly plans to achieve your goals. Now I feel empowered and in charge of my schedule. My self-confidence has also greatly improved with this new agency. I highly recommend Hannah and her coaching!
I took Hannah's course and completed 12 sessions with her. Hannah was truly superb throughout. Highly creative, encouraging, positive, enthusiastic, flexible, trusting, knowledgeable, observant, respectful, patient and a truly fabulous communicator. Highly recommend. Thank you so much Hannah.
Working with Hannah helped me to realised that I was under a lot of pressure trying to please everyone else resulting in me feeling very deplete. Hannah helped me with my professional and personal life in a year where I was struggling with both! We worked through a strategy for job transition alongside developing a clear leadership pathway in my career based on my natural talents. I now understand myself and how to get the best out of both myself and others. I wouldn't hesitate to work with her again in the future.
Hannah is very knowledgeable about the challenges of modern STEM careers, and she has always delivers excellence in both her group trainings as well as in 1to1 support. Her workshops on work-life balance and productivity are super engaging, and full of very important tools on these topics. Our collaboration has been perfect, and I can only hope that we continue to work together.
I have nothing but good things to say about working with Hannah. The "The Time Domination Experience" workshop that she gave to Women in Innovation and Leadership had precisely the right combination of theory, personal anecdotes, and practical tips that the attendees needed to kickstart their journey towards using their time more efficiently and healthily. Leading up to the event Hannah had the utmost professionalism and was flexible and responded promptly which made it easy, and a pleasure to collaborate with her. I highly recommend considering Hannah for your next personal or corporate coaching and inspirational needs!
I can't recommend enough the support and professionalism of Hannah's coaching. She also helped me to clarify my strengths and understand how to best develop myself on my current job without the baggage from previous roles. She focuses on your needs and is constantly checking with you if those goals have changed week by week. Her coaching is fluid, amicable and targeted, which makes it enjoyable and also hard work. You are accountable on every step of the journey. If you are looking to release your full potential or simply to improve your current skills to have a more fulfilling career path, please get in contact with her, you won't regret it.
Hannah has been of great inspiration for me, helping me to navigate through a major career crisis. I found her course ‘Guide to Virtual Networking Course’ extremely helpful in pushing me out of my comfort zone and encouraging me to search for new connections, that eventually lead me to a new career adventure that it’s about to start soon. Many thanks Hannah!
Hannah has been very supportive in my job transition. We had a breakthrough call while I was job searching and I decided to proceed with the 6-month coaching programme. The sessions with Hannah are helping me with so many aspects. She helped me to define what work environment I need to thrive best and what kind of roles are aligned with my natural talents. I can highly recommend her coaching sessions!
When I started working with Hannah, I was just at the beginning of my independent research career; I was struggling with stress and felt I did not have a clear career plan. Hannah’s one-to-one sessions were crucial for me to kick-start my fellowship successfully. Hannah taught me many valuable tools that helped me deal with stress and negative thought process cycles. One of the most important lessons I learned was understanding what I need and how to ask for it. Working with Hannah helped me gain clarity on my future career steps, and I feel more secure and relaxed about my future. I would highly recommend Hannah to anyone who wants clarity about their future career.
Working with Hannah on a one-on-one basis was transformative to me. The sessions were energising and uplifting. I came away from the sessions with many tools to help me in my career and even my personal life. As we started to delve deeper into understanding my values, my negative thought cycles towards what my goals were and why, I gained confidence and clarity. I’m sure there’s a correlation but as this happened I then had a successful job move and small funding bids. I’m not there yet but I feel like I’m on the right track. I wish I’d made this investment in myself many years ago. If any of this resonates with you – make that investment in yourself!
Hannah has been an inspirational coach enabling me first of all to ask for what I needed- to be coached by her! Then, using women’s power types , a whole new lexicon and a wealth of other tools, unlocked things that were holding me back or blocking where I wanted to get to…being my best self!
During an intensive 3 months, I have been able to make significant changes that were challenging to make. I would highly recommend Hannah who wants to bring about real change in their life.
I would unreservedly recommend Hannah as a coach! I reached out to Hannah as a result of feeling immense pressures at work – pressure to succeed, to not make mistakes and to have the right answers all the time. Working with Hannah helped me to first of all identify the source of these pressures and figure out how best to manage them. With her guidance, I was also able to define the set of values that were most important to me and am working on aligning with these values in my daily work/ personal life. After a few months my attitude towards challenges at work (or life in general) has changed. I’m better able to handle these in such a way that my values and health are not compromised.
I have recently participated in Hannah's Leadership webinars. I have enjoyed her style of coaching and the positive attitude. I appreciate her sincereness and sharing personal experience. Hannah is a brilliant coach!
Hannah completely understood me and what I needed from the very first breakthrough call. She guided me through figuring out what my personal wants, needs, and, values are and how important it is that I move forward with these in mind. Throughout the whole coaching process Hannah created a safe and comfortable environment and worked with incredible empathy and respect. I unreservedly and highly recommend working with her!
I highly recommend working with Hannah. In our sessions I gained so much clarity on the vision and directions that inspired me the most and how to stay true to them. Hands down one of the best investments in myself and my career I have ever made. Each and every session was effective and fruitful. And I walked away with a selection of tools that I can continue to apply to stay true to my visions and goals and also to keep working on where I need to develop and how I can make the best use of my strengths. If I could give my past self and every PhD student I worked with gift, it would be sessions with Hannah.
Hannah's expertise and understanding meant that our Breakthrough coaching session was really valuable and insightful. I highly recommend her sessions to any one who has lost a little direction, or stuck in a negative pattern of thinking and needs some motivation to change, I have made so many observations and had so many insights into my behaviour because of our call. Also - don't forget to check out her Women in Stem Podcast - really useful short but impactful bite-size observations.
Before I started to work with Hannah, I had my second child. During my maternal leave I wanted to find out what I really want and to improve the balance of my job as a scientist and family life. Now I feel confident to take the steps I need to take to achieve my goals. I would especially recommend Hannah to women in academic science, struggling with endless short-term contracts and the increasing anxiety that comes with them.
Hanna created a bespoke programme for us that fitted the brief. The workshop was exactly what our network needed to share their experiences and come away with practical advice they could put into action. The workshop was engaging and interactive and Hannah was great to work with to deliver our vision for out conference.
Hannah delivered a training workshops at the University of York as we share her passion for developing our staff to be the best that they can be. Hannah's enthusiasm and energy is infectious and we receive excellent feedback from her sessions. We have specifically been working with Hannah with our Women in Research Network and invited Hannah to deliver a workshop as part of our annual Women in Research Network Conference. Hannah was refreshing, engaging and dynamic, just what we needed to inspire our women researchers to refresh and reset for the post-pandemic journey ahead.
Hannah helped me to prepare for presenting at the "next level". She skilfully uncovered what was the challenges were for me and helped me to develop a personalised process to follow. I was able to approach the presentations with passion and energy, rather than fear and anxiety. Afterwards, I received positive feedback from various people on my clarity in conveying the key messages and details of a complex project.
I felt that even though 2020 was a strange and difficult year, I have learned more about myself this year than in the last 10 years. Coaching is for anyone who is ready to get some introspection, understand better who they are and what they want from their life and career. Hannah has the quality of guiding you through this introspection with respect and empathy. I felt safe and comfortable to open myself to her. I feel now more powerful and more confident thanks to this journey with her. I highly recommend her!
Hannah ran three brilliant workshops for my colleagues as part of the Oxford University Press's Women's Network. Each one was engaging and insightful - from both a content and delivery perspective. Hannah is personable and was particularly good at getting people joining the session involved throughout. The worksheets were great and Hannah also shared the recording and slides, which was really helpful for colleagues unable to join live. Highly recommend.
Over the course of 6 1:1 coaching sessions, I learned how to define and take action towards personal and professional development goals. I noticed very quickly that I was more productive and much kinder to myself as a result. One of the main benefits of working with Hannah is that she is a scientist herself, so she understands challenges within the academic framework much better than any other coach. Working with Hannah was a fantastic experience that helped me to grow both professionally and personally.
Hannah’s enthusiasm shone throughout. Hannah shared her top tips, the majority of which are simple to implement and have fantastic results! Following on from the session, I felt confident and excited to use LinkedIn. I would highly recommend Hannah as she is an extremely passionate, supportive and reassuring mentor, in what can sometimes be an intimidating space. Thank you Hannah!
I attended Hannah’s ‘Productivity Ninja Training’ last summer and found this course amazingly useful. I learnt a lot and have applied the skills learnt thereafter. Since taking her course I have felt more confident in trying new things in different ways as well as reaching out a bit more. Happy to say that since this course, I have taken new (better) employment and where I continue to grow and apply my productivity ninja skills. Thanks Hannah!
I found Hannah's training session very well thought through and engaging. She encouraged attendees to think positively and empowered them to speak about what they were proud of and what their strengths were. To focus on the positive isn't always easy so it was good to take a little time on International Women's Day to reflect on this. Little did we know what was around the corner with the pandemic, so a focus on resilience and positivity was very timely indeed! I wish Hannah every success with her business.
The Confident Negotiation workshop run by Hannah left me feeling empowered. It also made me stop and question my responses to certain situations, for example, how I manage my professional relationships, and how I can make improvements to mutual benefit.
Working with Hannah allowed me to rediscover my real self, to get clarity on what I want and what was holding me back. It also gave me the tools I needed to release myself from my limiting beliefs and to restore my confidence. I really enjoyed all the coaching sessions with Hannah as I always felt understood, supported, and safe to talk about anything without judgment. I highly recommend working with Hannah to any women struggling to get the clarity they need in life.
The Leadership series ran by Hannah Roberts is a great development tool, providing useful exercises to be done in a group or as solo. We had great turnover and excellent feedback after every single event done so far. In the context of a pandemic, it resulted to be a very powerful tool to stay connected!
I attended "Networking" workshop with Hannah which was organized by University of Limerick. Her approach to networking through LinkedIn and and other resources is unique. She gave us step by step guidance for improving our network and targeting proper group of audience. Also, personal feedback in each session was an excellent addition to the workshop. I can only highly recommend Hannah for professional networking coaching.
Hannah's masterclass has helped to boost my online presence greatly. I could see the positive changes and effects almost immediately after I have applied the techniques she taught in her masterclass. I am more engaged with my LinkedIn community and it is helping me to navigate through my career path. Thanks Hannah!
I took part in Hannah's LinkedIn masterclass and found the session so valuable. Hannah gave me the confidence and courage to change the way I had been using my profile and gave me insights and food for thought about planning my future and marketability. Hannah's next steps were clear and easy to follow and I have received positive feedback and increased engagement as a result. I am very much looking forward to the Breakthrough Call in a couple of weeks.
Hannah is a very nice person and very helpful. She helps us (the Visnet cohort) to establish our career direction. Her advice is useful and practical too.
I both took part in Hannah's coaching of a group of female scientists and, with my colleagues who were funding the coaching, liaised with her about their needs. Much of the coaching was done virtually, in a live webinar format. The webinars were clear, motivating and Hannah managed to create a sense of trust within the group to share their experiences. As someone who was coached I felt that after our sessions I better understood the role of different media platforms, how to create and maintain new collaborations and was better able to communicate my research story.
Hannah is coaching a group of female scientists through the VisNet project to help us improve our Linkedin profile, expand our professional network and find collaborators. She is also coaching us to know our individual PowerType profiles and empower the queen style. I really like her approach to coaching with clear and supportive materials. I am happy with my Linkedin profile and found more people viewing it. I recommend her if you are looking to improve your tools/skills for professional and personal development.
I am very happy that I met Hannah through visNET program. She is my role model of successful, kind, knowledgeable, confident and helpful person. I hope I will have an opportunity to stay in touch and continue our interactions way beyond this program.
I found Hannah's session very valuable. It gave me the time and space I needed to think more about planning my future. As a result, I have let go of some self-critical beliefs and will consciously take time daily to move forwards purposefully.
I had been postponing taking big action steps in my career because I was unsure which direction I wanted to go. During Hannah's breakthrough session all became clear. It filled me with the confidence to go ahead more wisely and strategically. I recommend the experience.
I felt that Hannah's Breakthrough session got to the core of the problem very quickly. I feel a real positive shift in my thinking. Hannah's approach is very practical and am excited to take the first step and notice the long term benefits.
I really valued talking about my career and how to overcome obstacles to my progression. Through Hannah's questioning, I was able to map out the next steps into an achievable action plan. I feel really clear and inspired about what I will do next. 10/10 - above and beyond my expectations.
I found that Hannah’s approach gave me the opportunity to explore how the different areas of my life are impacting my long term career aspirations. I had the time and space to talk through everything and it was really helpful to gain clarity on my thoughts. My priorities are clear and I found concrete ways to move forwards. I now realise the importance of having a coach’s unbiased input and the accountability that brings for building the momentum I need in my career.
