What people have said about my work...

"Thanks for your coaching and support in preparing me for a board in a short space of time. You supported me through the preparation; delivery, presentations and timings and encouraged me to look at the questions in a much wider way and led me to feel much more confident leading to success. If I had another presentation or board in the future, I would definitely ask you and recommend your support to everyone."
"It’s been a pleasure dealing with Nick as the knowledge he has and his approach to deliver what he knows to help me build my business and move forward is not just priceless but easy to learn which for me makes the process enjoyable.
He only works at my pace and helps me find the answers to what I need to know and formulate strategies and plans to put everything in perspective which is vital to making the correct decisions big or small in all areas of my business. 
His charges are very comfortable in comparison to a lot other coaches I looked into and value for money is guaranteed.
My coaching from Nick has been great. 
I will be continuing as I am more than happy with what I get out of our sessions."
"I entered into my coaching feeling unsure about my current career path, feeling a bit stuck in a rut without a clear idea of why I was feeling that way or how to change things.
We worked through a number of things and after each session I felt that I was better able to clear the fog a bit more and make proactive decisions about the next steps. Nick was patient, professional and an invaluable objective voice amongst the conflicting thoughts and feelings I was having.
I have left my coaching sessions with a much clearer sense of direction and with a renewed vigour with respect to my career, feeling positive about the opportunities ahead.
I now fully understand the true value of coaching and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nick to anyone who is at a crossroads in their career."

"Contacting Nick for career coaching was one of the best decisions I made in 2021. I was feeling rather lacklustre about where my career was heading after a very tricky year.
 Nick gave me the confidence I needed to get on the right track to find the right role and company for me.
 He had some brilliant advice and really made me realise I had a variety of transferable skills and I now feel ready to take the plunge.
 I couldn’t recommend Nick’s excellent career coaching enough."

"I have been working with Nick following my promotion to a senior management role reporting to the company’s Executive Committee.
This is my first senior role and I felt I needed some external support to be able to perform my new job at the very high level expected by my company.
Nick has proven to be an invaluable resource. His positive conversational approach helped me to tackle several new challenges I have encountered in my new role such as:

  • Establishing myself as a leader among my previous peers;
  • Adopting a new leadership style while maintaining my authenticity;
  • Creating and fostering my ‘corporate brand’ among the company’s top-management.

Just to name a few.
He rarely tells me what I should be doing but rather nudges me towards finding the right solution by myself. Starting from ‘talking the problems through’ to nailing down a list of strategies to successfully address and solve the various issues I present to him from time to time.
Nick is an incredibly attentive listener and I am always impressed by the amount of detail from previous sessions he retains and carefully points to.
I am extremely grateful for Nick’s professional support and I felt he made a big difference on how I approach my new function on a daily basis creating the foundations for me to succeed."

"Nick coached me over a period of about 3 years in my senior management role.

His style of coaching was friendly, but probing and challenging, which helped me to gain a different perspective on the issues I was facing. Nick was also helpful at suggesting options for solutions for me to consider.

As a result, I was able to develop and implement tangible actions that helped me to enhance the way I worked, and to strengthen my working relationships with colleagues and clients.

Over the time we worked together I found Nick’s coaching really helpful and I’m very happy to recommend him."

"Nick has been an excellent coach, helping me find a direction to take for a career when I was wanting a desperate career change. 
He has helped me highlight strengths from my work history which I can now use to my advantage. 
I am now enrolling on a CIPD course ready to start a career with HR and Nick has not only helped me recognise the abilities I’ve already got, but gave me further advice on the steps I can take to achieve this."
"Nick has been a coach and mentor of mine for over 3 years. He has been very important to me during a number of periods of reflection and transition when I have reached out to him for advice. 
Nick has always shown a great skill in helping me to think through my career challenges with both structure and breadth of thinking, but never overtly recommending or advising based on his own experiences. Rather he prompts me to discuss my own thinking, sketching out options and preferences in a way that helps to bring them to life. I find this approach helps me to get clarity and focus, but ultimately to feel comfortable that it has come from my own thoughts and beliefs. 
For me a fundamental to advice that will live with me is that it feels fully my own and be something I am therefore able to act meaningfully upon. Nick’s coaching and mentoring has always helped me to do this and I am extremely thankful to him for it!"
"I recently worked with Nick as I was feeling frustrated with the career path I was on but didn't understand the realistic options available to change direction without starting over.
Over the course of several sessions, Nick helped me understand my full skill set and which elements were most important to me (the order wasn't what I would have initially thought!) so I could then think more practically about where to look for roles that could suit me. We also worked on ways to position my skills and achievements across multiple CVs that were tailored to different job types.
On each call Nick was attentive and took a role of asking questions that allowed me to talk through my thoughts and come to my own conclusions without being led. Ultimately I now have several avenues that I'm able to explore with confidence of taking a new direction."
"After spending nearly a year with little direction searching for jobs with no success I decided it was time for change. 
I had just 4 sessions with Nick, but they have had a real impact on my life. 
Talking things through with Nick was great, he is friendly, knowledgeable and was able to challenge my views without being pushy. I now have a clear plan and the confidence to move forward with this knowing that it is exactly what I want. Thank you Nick."
"Nick is an experienced coach, I have personally benefited from over 2 years of his coaching, guidance and support. 
Nick has played a pivotal role in supporting me develop at work, helping me to navigate through different challenges, changing roles and decisions.
Nick is very experienced and his advice is always insightful, extremely perceptive and he always asks helpful coaching questions to guide and not provide solutions. 
What I admire most is that Nick really listens, provides advice and helps me to shape and own my decisions. I trust his advice implicitly which is always considered and measured."

"Nick had a significant impact on my transition into a new business area and set me on the path for 4 hugely enriching years in my professional development. 
I was struck by how every conversation I had with Nick added genuine value to my career development through Nick’s obvious preparation and focus on me as his coachee.
Nick undoubtedly played a significant part in enabling me to build my skill set. Nick’s coaching and support through the promotion process was exemplary and went a long way to demystifying this and helping me to be successful. 
I count Nick as a trusted adviser and continue to seek counsel from him on relevant professional matters today."
"Nick and I worked together for nearly a year and he was a fantastic mentor. He helped me to work through short term problems I faced at work as well as sharing his experience to help me ‘shape’ the various complex challenges I was working through. 
We worked together to tease out my longer-term aspirations and goals, and he ultimately helped me to realise that I had reached a point in my career where I needed to take a ‘leap of faith’ into a new role, organisation and home. I’m happier, healthier and more motivated than ever thanks to that decision, and I’m grateful to Nick for being a trusted mentor throughout the highs and lows!"
"Nick worked closely with me in a coaching capacity at an important time in my career as I was preparing to go into a promotion process at work.
Nick’s coaching provided me with being able to channel my case, succinctly put it into a short business case and focus on how I verbally presented it at interview.
Nick helped me prepare for the process by putting me into real life scenarios on a regular basis, challenging me to flex my style and approach and deliver the key messages required. He was also very helpful at giving me examples and different ways to approach this and encouraged me to consult with others around me. He was able to create an environment of being an excellent listener but being able to challenge my approach by helping me step back and look at the situation objectively.
Throughout my time working with Nick as a coach, I found his style very reassuring and he built trust very quickly. He has high levels of emotional intelligence which make him stand out in a coaching or mentoring role. I am profoundly grateful for the coaching support Nick has given me over the past few years."
