“I was impressed with my coaching experience. Edward was easy to talk to and made the sessions feel very comfortable.  It was interesting to break the problem down in to manageable chunks. This made talking through and finding a solution much more focussed” 

Anna F, Senior Associate Director of Ground Engineering

“I have found the coaching sessions and Ed’s approach to be life changing. Since the sessions started I have grown in confidence. Confidence in my own ability, confidence to be myself, and confidence to reach for new opportunities. Even my colleagues and managers have seen a change in me. They say I am more assertive, more confident and seem more secure in my own style of leading.” 

Graham H, Pastoral and Welfare Manager at a college

“These coaching sessions have helped me to reflect on my work life and career progression on a deeper and more effective level than would otherwise have been the case. Ed supported and guided me to examine my motivations and aspirations and to consider what my strategy and methods should be in order to achieve a more challenging and appropriate work model for myself. Ed was encouraging, warm, organised, and helpful throughout. He also pushed me to be more decisive and to put practises in place that would make sure that I followed up on my intentions. As a result I have found more confidence in tackling some stubborn issues with dissatisfaction at work” 

Jo, Academic

“The sessions have helped me think through some decsions which felt overwhelming intially. We have been able to break down the steps towards achieving the bigger goal. It has been really helpful to have someone external to talk to and think this through with.” 

Kay, Consultant Psychiatrist in the NHS

“I thoroughly enjoyed my 6 coaching sessions with Ed. Each one gave me the space, time and freedom to explore several personal challenges that life was presenting. The sessions were well organised and ran to time, they offered a wholly confidential and safe space where I felt I could speak freely and express the reality of my thoughts. This is a rare commodity and one I properly valued, especially in light of the topic, as I didn’t have any other avenue for discussion.

I felt listened to and heard. I felt valued and like my thoughts and feelings mattered. I felt challenged and uncomfortable at times and have since reflected on my own tendancy towards control, defensiveness and to assume others are seeing the worst in me.  I found Ed to be attentive, interested, thoughtful, probing, questioning and wholly professional, but in a very humane and approachable way.  I would highly recommend him to anyone as a coach.” 

Michelle, Vice Principal in a Further Education College 

"I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the invaluable support and guidance you provided me during a challenging period of my professional journey. When I first embarked on the coaching sessions with you, I must admit I was somewhat sceptical about how much it could truly benefit me. However, from our very first session, you managed to dispel any doubts I had and create an environment where I felt completely at ease. 

Your approachability and genuine concern for my well-being immediately put me at ease, allowing me to open up and explore areas of my personal and professional life that I had previously been hesitant to confront. Your ability to listen attentively and ask thought-provoking questions challenged my perspectives and helped me gain clarity on various situations I was facing. I greatly appreciated your willingness to challenge me on my thoughts and perceptions, even when it was uncomfortable.

Through our six sessions together, I not only gained valuable insights into my strengths and areas for growth but also developed practical strategies for navigating challenges and achieving my goals. Your unwavering support and encouragement allowed me to step out of my comfort zone and embrace new opportunities with confidence. Looking back, I am amazed at how much I have grown both personally and professionally as a direct result of your coaching and support. Your dedication to my success and your genuine belief in my potential have left a lasting impact on me, for which I am truly grateful.

Thank you, Ed, for your brilliance, your wisdom, and your unwavering commitment to helping me become the best version of myself. Working with you has been a transformative experience, and I will always be grateful for the positive influence you've had on my career."
