Anyone wondering what coaching is all about just needs to realise that it's about helping people to identify (and learn to focus on) their strengths to achieve their goals.

Chris

Just a quick note to say thanks for all your input and energy over the last 8 weeks. Each week i have really looked forward to attending the sessions and taken away lots from each one. I am sure i also speak on behalf of the others in the group but your input and enthusiam has created a great amount of enthusiam and 'the want' to make our little ideas into bigger, succesful ones.

Laura Brook, ChaiChai Ltd

Arsalan and I really would like to be there for mince pies today. We will try our best however both of us have terrible fevers so I don't think we will be able to stay very long.

Smiles, Gaelle

Thank you for another inspirational session of mentoring.

Vicky

It was great to meet you the other day. You were very perceptive to how I was feeling, our chat made me realise that if I don’t take control of the situation I will probably feel this way for most of my life. I thank you for your support and kindness it is the first time I have felt that someone understands me and will be able to offer me guidance in finding a solution…..….. The affirmations have been a great help. Repeating them every day has really worked and I already feel more confident and at ease with myself.

The sessions we had with William helped us look at the bigger picture, be more aware of our goals and the routes to reach them, the knowledge and contacts that he was willing to impart was vast and very useful. He encouraged us to open our minds to change when we had to and when times we’re tough his help and guidance were invaluable. Thank you William, your expertise has made the journey easier and much more pleasurable.

David Pankhurst, Smith Cooper IT

I always found the coaching sessions extremely interesting and inspiring, and came away with plenty of useful ideas for implementation in the business. I think an important part of the coaching is the therapeutic benefit of being able to share one’s stresses and strains with an objective observer who has no vested interest in the organisation you are in. Also, as MD I found that I had no peer group, and it would have been all the more lonelier at the top without you to bounce ideas off!

Mary Whelan, Carpe Diem Coaching

Just a brief note to say thanks a million again for your teriffic coaching. I'll take things to the next level over the next few weeks and keep you posted.

Emma

I want to thank for taking the time to meet with me. I found it incredibly interesting - as well as useful! I think you are

Steve Jones, Adamson Jones

Perhaps most importantly, William has taken an objective view of the many challenges we have faced and has prompted me to find ways of addressing those challenges that I would not otherwise have found. William's enthusiasm for what we have been trying to achieve is infectious and every session has helped to keep our objectives in focus and brought us closer to reaching those objectives.

Nuala Pinson

Thank you so much for the session at Visionworks.

Caroline Poynter, Danum Solutions

Being the Managing Director of your own business can often be a thankless and lonely job, however working with William provides me with the forum to articulate my ideas and his contribution encourages me to focus and reaffirm my thoughts. With his vast knowledge and proficiency in an abundance of areas, he often aids in developing my ideas in such a way that would be unattainable on my own.
