I’ve had the pleasure of working with Gary (via a leadership course) and I can confidently say that the experience exceeded my expectations in every way. Gary created a safe and supportive environment where I felt comfortable sharing my goals, concerns, and aspirations. Through insightful questioning and active listening, Gary helped me gain clarity on my career path and motivated me to push beyond my comfort zone to reach new heights. I cannot recommend Gary highly enough to anyone seeking professional development or career guidance. T.F. - Business Consultant -
30/04/2024This is my first experience of working with a coach and I have found the experience invaluable. I have worked with Gary for 4 sessions and his ability to listen, probe, challenge, encourage and guide has been brilliant and enabled me to meet or exceed all my goals / expectations for the sessions. I will definitely work with Gary again.

03/06/2020I've been working with Gary for a year as part of a leadership development programme. My experience of formal professional coaching was really quite limited, so I began our journey with a degree of scepticism. I have now come to realise the incredible value coaching can add, both in terms of personal and professional development. Through creating the right conditions/environment to allow for self reflection, Gary has helped me get to the nub of my issues (not without challenge!), accelerating and honing my focus on making those critical decisions to really move forward in a meaningful way. Thank you Gary ! Paul Chohan, Head of Customer Services, Personal Tax Operations, HM Revenue & Customs.
18/04/2020I've worked with Gary as a coach for the past year as part of a leadership development programme. As a coach myself, I knew what the benefits of coaching can be but I had never actually found the time to seek out a coach for myself. I have found Gary to be very professional, always well prepared for our sessions with a great grip on the issues that I have been working through. He gave me the time and space to reflect and to encourage me to focus on not just how I respond to situations but why. And then helped me to harness that for my own betterment. He has been able to point me in the direction of tools, material and literature to supplement our sessions and I feel I have gained greater insight into myself and therefore increased my ability to work through challenges on a professional and personal level.

18/03/2020I’ve had the privilege to have Gary as my coach over the last year. His insightful challenges during this time have allowed me to not only affirm the type of leader I am, or indeed want to be. But also provided me with the confidence to acknowledge and communicate this. Gary’s ability to listen and elicit that personal reflection has helped me immensely in my personal growth as a leader.

06/03/2020Gary has coached me over a period of a year via a leadership course. Whilst being slightly skeptical of coaching in general, each session with Gary has been incredibly useful both for me personally and professionally. In particular, he was able to encourage me to talk about a range of issues, elicit my own self-reflection (something I never usually do) and help me better understand my own behaviours, strengths and weaknesses through both my lens and others. Gary offers gentle challenge which helps to develop areas for improvement. These sessions have completely changed my view on coaching and would highly recommend Gary to anyone! Thanks, Chris Small - Head of Heat Networks South - BEIS.
13/02/2020Gary has coached me for a year and every session has proven to be beneficial to my development. He listens keenly and is really good at getting under the skin of why people behave the way we do. He challenges you to think about issues from various perspectives and then gets you to frame your own response. Whether face to face, on-line or telephone he provided the mirror I could look into to re-discover my strengths and step into my potential with confidence. JE Finance Professional
