It's over to you...
“I can recommend both Will’s excellent coaching skills and his expertise in supporting a new leadership team to develop their skills, bond as a team and develop their approach to leading our organisation. He has been challenging and compassionate in equal measures using his own strong emotional intelligence expertise to design and develop a truly transformational programme of development from my perspective as CEO.”

"I went into Will’s Executive Coaching session thinking it was going to be another coaching session where someone tells me the direction I should go and best suit my aspiration. To my pleasant surprise, I did 80% of the talking. Will listened actively and prompted me to a journey of self-discovery. He sensitively and accurately pointed out some of my blind spots. In that session, I gained so much insight and had a clear path towards my goal. Thank you for all your guidance and I would definitely recommend a session with Will."

"I had an executive coaching session with Will and I can say frankly that he was able to change my whole perspective about things. His non-directive approach to coaching, enabled me to find the answers I was looking for and triggered me to critically evaluate my own position. Will’s approach to coaching is tremendously powerful and should never be underestimated.
"As a result of the coaching session I am now working on an action plan with a clear understanding of the gaps in my character and skills. I recommend anyone who really wants to grow personally and professionally to connect with Will."

“I have found the coaching sessions transforming. Will has an ability to dig deep into your mind and will identify what is going on despite what may be verbalised. This allows for honest and effective coaching and associated action plans to promote appropriate strategies for personal and professional development.”

"The Children and Young Person’s Social Prescribing Team at Yorkshire Health Partners recently completed their second training session with Will. The session focused on the needs of the team, was extremely well planned and very engaging. We received the proposed agenda well in advance of the session.
"The training focused both of personal and professional resilience, which is something the team have found to be challenging at times due to the nature of our work. I can confidently say on behalf of the team that we all benefitted from the session, with plenty of take-home messages to reflect upon and to implement within our practice.
"I would strongly encourage anyone seeing similar training to reach out to Will, as the training we received was truly invaluable."

"Will has been my coach for the past six months. I can honestly say that I couldn’t have asked for a better coach and person to help me get through the most difficult period that I faced in my entire adult career.
"After 22 years working in the NHS and achieving my ultimate career goal of being a board level director, the latest NHS reorganisation resulted in my position being displaced. Facing redundancy for the first time, I needed a strong coach who was able to help me see past the current situation and look to what the future could be.
"I have now left the NHS and I founded my own company that I am passionate about and proud of. I will continue to have coaching with Will whilst I face the many challenges of working for yourself poses, and I can’t think of anyone I’d rather have by my side.
"If you want a coach that sees you as the person you are instead of the problems you are facing; who challenges your negative thinking to make you see the opportunities; who is down to earth, personable, and does not make you feel that they are reading straight out of a coaching manual – someone who uses his coaching experience and skills to actually help you rather than tick boxes, then I can highly recommend Will."

"My coaching journey with Will...
I went on a journey, it was about investing in my personal development and growth. Instigating and accepting coaching firstly started with the 'right coach' for me, then I was required to commit to do the work.
"Will very early on focussed and refocussed me to what was important for me. I felt in a safe confidential space to open up and share - all the stuff that was important to me, my values, standards and expectations.
"It was a journey of emotional intelligence and impact.
"On completion of my course of sessions with Will, I found my leadership style and what my future behaviours and interactions with people needed to look like, to develop my skills further whilst being 'me'. Interestingly it helped not only with my work life and development but my home life too, I now have the tools I just need to keep practising. Thanks Will."

"Will has been a great coach to me over the last few months during a really tricky point in my career. He’s listened with a sympathetic ear, offered practical advice and provided robust challenge when I needed it. Will has helped me work through uncertainty and the different options I was facing.
"I have come away with a much clearer understanding about what is important to me at work and what I want to do next. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Will to anyone looking for a confidential, safe space to explore their thoughts and feelings about work and to help you find a way positive way forward."
