". . . I didn't think I needed a coach to be honest with you, but without your help I don't know how I would have put my life back on track. Even after our first conversation I knew you could help me. I must say, I now feel I am living in a completely different world. You believed in me, and for that I will be forever grateful. I have been able to let go of my attachment to many things that were cluttering up in my life. Many thanks Steve. I wish you every success, you deserve it."
Julian Bland. Accountant.

" . . . I just wanted to say thank you for agreeing to work with me. The last few months have been a revelation. Without your help I don't know how I would have found the courage to deal with all the conflict and backbiting going on at work. I feel much more positive now and in control of my emotions. Your 'new observer' technique made all the difference. My husband says I am the person he fell in love with. I can't thank you enough."
Sara Fletcher. Publicity Manager.

" . . I don't know why, but I always feel more intelligent when I talk to you. You taught me the power of reflection and positive thinking and how to use active language. For this alone I thank you. It has improved my working life immensely."
Arthur Battram. Consultant Trainer.

" . . . the coaching sessions have definitely shifted the negative feelings I had towards my team. Getting to know them better and showing an interest in their lives is beginning to get the results I had hoped for. Thanks for helping me develop my goal setting rapport skills. I now understand how seeing things differently holds the key to effective change."
Ruth Kelly. Contact Centre Manager.

" . . . I was glad I chose to follow a more structured approach. I could clearly see the journey I was on and the progress I was making. Establishing priorities and clarifying my wants, right at the beginning, created a compelling vision for me with meaningful goals. It proved to be my roadmap to success. I learned many new skills and tools to get the changes I was looking for. I really appreciated your commitment to my success, your positive feedback, even your challenging questions. Many many thanks."
Mazar Dad. District Transport Manager.

Some testimonials from clients

"Steve is great to bounce ideas off. His questions seem to get right to heart of things. He challenged my thinking and helping me understand what was going on around me. He challenged me to clarify why I do, think and feel as I do. I felt understood, as if he genuinely wanted me to grow as a human being and do well. Our conversations always seemed to flow so easily, yet they were purposeful and productive. I now realise how he cleverly uses innocuous questions to get across serious messages. They really got me thinking about things at a deeper level."
Richard Billingham. HR - Policy Manager.

"Steve's support enabled me to look at life and work from a different perspective. My self-belief, confidence and approach to problem solving have been transformed as a result. Steve drew me out at a comfortable pace to face the behaviours and beliefs that have been holding me back. He put me at my ease and enabled me to lose some hang ups about self-reflection. He has an encyclopaedic knowledge and repertiore of techniques which he practices with great skill, especially in removing negative attitudes. Steve is now a trusted confidante and critical friend, but most of all I feel I know how to keep my dreams alive and work towards them."
Linda Collis. Principle Community Development and Local Services Manager.

"I couldn't have a found a more fantastic coach and a great person. I felt there was mutual respect and real understanding. I was going through a rough patch at the time and needed to rebuild my confidence and self-esteem. Steve was brilliant. He worked on my spoken language and written skills, body posture and emotional strength with great effect. I am now much more confident in meetings and making presentations. I am now feeling realy positive about the future and what I must do to realise my career aspirations."
Ashfaq M Ashraf. Business Development Manager

"Steve helped me gain valuable insights into my management style and leadership abilities. He helped me build my confidence and take more risks. I can now engage people on a more human level and not lose my authority. With Steve's guidance I now see that my leadership and commitment to other people's learning is the most valuable thing I can do to develop the business and deliver improvements in performance."
Sheila Walker. Head of Catering Services.

"When I get stuck, Steve has a way of helping me clear my head and see the wood for the trees. There are so many competing priorities in my job so I find his wise counsel and sympathetic ear invaluable. I feel I have learning a new way to be at work"
Lorna Shaw. Head of Policy & Performance
