Mike Richardson: Marketing Director, Veigli
"Coaching was something I was initially reluctant to try as I didn't believe it was for me, but Paul was brilliant. He clearly explained the process and timescales of what we could achieve and held me to account throughout our sessions. Paul's approach was a huge part in giving me the confidence to make the decisions about my future that I had been putting off for a long time. I would recommend him to anyone looking to better understand what they want from a career."
Andrew Harley: MSc Construction Management student at the University of Reading
Regular coaching sessions with Paul have proved extremely valuable. Paul’s wealth of commercial experience and proven track record for people management have dovetailed beautifully helping me to delve deeper into my decision-making processes, emotional reactions, and behaviours. It is this richness of conversations that creates the greatest impact and most significant achievements.
Donna Talbot: CEO, Emmaus
"Directors were part of the process throughout, and Paul made it clear from the outset that real change and sustained improvement would only come about if the Board bought into the changes and the new direction. The outcome of his coaching and mentoring was an extremely motivated senior team, improved customer satisfaction, and profitability. I would have no hesitation in recommending Paul."
Dominic Anthony: Partner, Evelyn Accountants
Paul is incredibly experienced and knowledgeable but more than that, he is great to work with and easy to talk to you. I went to see him when I was suffering from a loss of direction at work, and he was there to support me and offer guidance. He encouraged a change of mindset, built my confidence, and empowered me to make the necessary changes to develop the career and lifestyle I desired.
I can't recommend him highly enough!
Charlotte Grundy: Owner, Point Taken Training
Paul is an incredibly useful human to know. As my coach and a mentor, he's fantastic at helping to clarify issues and develop potential. I had the good fortune of working with him and continue to stay in touch. His ability to bring about a change in mindset or just act as a sounding board for what you already know but need to talk through. Fantastic for building confidence and developing patience.
Dominic Danson: Account Director, Grammatik
"Paul’s excellent ability to quickly grasp critical problems helped to solve the issues ahead of schedule. After individual meetings with the team members and directors, he proposed 2 different solutions depending on our future growth plan. His one-to-one mentoring of three Board members was invaluable."
Richard Chamberlain: MD, Nubis Engineering
"Paul's mentoring went far beyond the brief into website strategy, online retailing, our product-market mix, approach to customer development, and specific aspects of the business plan. His advice and support were crucial to us weathering that tricky first 12–18 months."
Della Gould: Owner Retail
"Delivering mentoring for the management team as well as intense one-to-one coaching sessions with directors Paul quickly grasped the essential issues and built a rapport with the whole team.
Performance was measurably better, and the defined goals set out at the start of the project were achieved. I am pleased to highly recommend Paul."
John Bills: Group MD, Media Corp
"Paul’s open approach makes it easy to have an honest dialogue, I can say exactly what I am thinking and feeling without judgment.
I always look forward to our sessions - they are hugely beneficial, and I value the dedicated ‘headspace’ time. It is so useful to be able to park an issue temporarily if I know it’s something I need to talk through more during coaching.
The sessions have enabled me to maintain my well-being and positivity while dealing with difficult situations, they have increased my resilience and have helped me to find solutions to complex issues."
Gemma Manning: Arthur Rank Director
"Paul's a great coach - listening and challenging really helpfully and encouraging me to work out ways to become less 'stuck'. I've taken away lots of positives from our sessions."
Helen Ellis: Head of Development, PCC
"Paul has engaged the Board members individually, helping each of them to develop more effective senior leadership behaviours and skills."
Dr David Gillett: Group Managing Director, AVRO
"Paul provided invaluable coaching as well as mentoring for one of our emerging senior managers. Paul's style is warm and engaging, which immediately puts the person at ease.
His approach is collaborative and is underpinned by regular success measurement to ensure that genuine progress is being made and the goal of the coaching process is met.
This is all backed up by Paul's many years of successful hands-on business experience that extends right across the C-suite. We look forward to our next engagement with Paul."
Tim Easton: Owner, EllEffSee Ltd
"Paul works at pace. He coaches clients to cut through to the heart of issues very quickly. They are often surprised by how fast they progress. One client recently made the transition from board director in one organisation to CEO of another. This would not have happened without Paul’s expertise. It comes down to this: with Paul as your coach, you will become a better leader - and you’ll have fun on the way."
