Who DW works with
Clients range from graduates and early-career analysts to seasoned managers and senior leaders. They come from small and large organisations. Many work in finance, and the coaching also covers other industries and sectors. Senior leaders can join the executive coaching programme.
How DW works
Sessions are one on one mock interviews held online. Answers are built with the STAR method, which covers Situation, Task, Action and Result. Coaching centres on emotional intelligence, so clients learn to read the interviewer, adjust pace and tone, and respond to what was just said. Tough questions are reframed in the mind so they are easier to answer.
Background and qualifications
The coach has a 20-year career in finance and banking. It began in a call centre role and moved up to senior positions. These include Head of Credit Analysis at Barclays, Head of Risk at a Soros-owned firm, and Deputy Head of Credit at Visa Europe. Over that time the coach led teams, trained staff and coached more than 100 professionals from many backgrounds. That experience gives a direct view of how hiring decisions get made.
