Recent Signature Client Success StoriesÂ

Ian, Procurement Leader (October 2025)
I strongly recommend Donna for procurement professionals who want help to position themselves confidently and take control of their career.
Donna had the perfect skills and experience to help – a deep understanding of the procurement industry coupled with years of experience in procurement recruitment. Donna was therefore able to help me with expanding my network of recruitment agencies, optimise my CV, my LinkedIn Profile and search strategy – which were all incredibly useful.
However, what I have valued the most from our sessions so far has been Donna’s ability to help me think more intentionally about myself and my career through exercises, questions, discussion and honest feedback.
After a few short weeks, I gained real clarity over my strengths, values, the type of work I enjoy and what I don’t. This has helped me to clearly articulate the value I can bring to organisations and increased my confidence in discussing that with potential employers.
As conversations led to interviews, Donna was always available to provide advice on positioning, approach or anything else I needed.
After around 6 weeks I secured my next role and will always remain incredibly grateful to Donna for all her support and expertise - I do not believe I would be where I am today without her help.
If you are in a similar position and need help gaining clarity and confidence for your career, I’d strongly recommend speaking to Donna – she’s great."
Marie-Pauline, Procurement Manager (October 2025)
" From our very first conversation, I knew I had found the right career coach.
I joined Donna’s Signature Program, thinking I had a clear plan for my next move. But through her insightful guidance and thoughtful exercises, I quickly realized that what I thought I wanted didn’t fully align with who I truly am.
Donna helped me uncover my core values, what genuinely energizes me, and the type of work environment where I can thrive.
Donna’s program isn’t just career coaching; it’s a transformative journey of self-discovery. And the best part?
I landed an exciting new role before even finishing the program, all thanks to the strategies and network I built through Donna’s process!
If you are feeling stuck, uncertain, or ready to realign your career with who you truly are, I cannot recommend Donna and Narrate Your Career highly enough. It was not just coaching for me but a game-changer in my professional and personal life."

Alison, Global Procurement and SRM Leader (September 2025)
"I took the decision to invest in myself and engage with a career coach to help me with my next career step, after careful research I decided that the Signature Programme provided by Donna offered me the best option.
The service provided by Donna is brilliant. I highly recommend Donna and the Signature Programme. Donna provides sage advice and a safe, confidential space to reflect and determine what type of organisation I wanted to work for, aligned to my values.
Donna uses her excellent coaching skills to really prepare you, not only for the job search/interview process but how to land successfully in a new role quickly.
Donna's combination of in depth industry knowledge, coaching skills and genuine desire to help people be their best means it is a delight to work with Donna. I successfully secured a new role half way through the programme.
I highly recommend the services provided by Donna"
