“I thought I was seeking help towards a new website, but soon realised it went much deeper: to re-evaluating who I am as a creative leader and what I can offer.
“Sessions were a powerful problem-solving space: where my approach could be re-imagined. You helped tune me in to notice more of the things I kind of knew but hadn’t yet fully grasped.
“You helped me cut through the noise and distill simple steps towards making deep change.
“Now I see a thread through what I’m struggling with, and what excites me. I can see they’re related, it all is, and how that’s evolved through my previous projects. It’s still work in progress but now there’s a story emerging there I can tell.”

“You helped tune me in to notice more of the things I kind of knew but hadn’t yet fully grasped”
“You spotted something amazing and reminded me of the proof”
“Very, very helpful. Like you say on the website this gets you space with someone who gets you – that’s exactly what I was looking for. Someone to get me to think, a fresh and external point of view.”
“Sometimes I say some things that are eye-opening for me but I don’t know I say them until you show me them back.“That’s what I needed. I did not know they were there.
“You spotted something amazing and reminded me of the proof, with a different perspective. That’s what I learned from your coaching.”
“You realise it was obvious [all along] and just needed teasing out”
“Chris helped me make the most of my writing. He helped me focus on what I was doing and who I was writing for.
“It’s easy to forget that you’re talking to a former wordsmith as the guidance Chris gives sounds like total common sense that’s easy to understand, and he provides it in a way that makes you realise it was obvious and just needed teasing out.
“The real value Chris brings is his objective perspective, his history of writing, and a constant reminder that you’re engaging fellow humans that are hearing your story for the first time.”

“Chris has an open, friendly and a truthfully honest approach and genuinely wants people to do what matters to them and make a difference.

T is a green consultant who helps businesses improve sustainability and reduce their impact on the environment.“I hadn’t realised that I’d really hit a wall”
“Before speaking with Chris, I hadn’t realised that I’d really hit a wall and needed help with exploring new avenues and procedures within my account manageability.
“Being able to speak truthfully in a safe, confidential space helped me realise what I needed to do to refresh my spark and to crack on with more confidence – to get excited about working on future goals!
“Chris really listens to you and makes you feel like any issues or personal barriers are important and provides you with great, insightful advice to help you learn on your own.

S is a marketeer who works with clients in education, inclusivity, and leisure and tourism, who put the greater good of the region first.“I have confidence to approach my work, deal with problems myself”
“I recently changed industries and being a newcomer has caused me a fair amount of work-based anxiety, existential worries, and even certain aspects of imposter syndrome.
“I struggled to understand my place and what I can do to adapt and learn a new skill set, often coming to a standstill and feeling a bit lost. Chris helped me to work through my concerns, rationalise my thoughts, and build confidence.
“Our sessions provided a space for me to discuss aspects of work, how I was working, and helped me to build my own structure and workflow for dealing with a variety of things I didn’t have much experience with – from how to plan and write, how to find and approach new clients, to interpersonal and communication skills with work colleagues.
“Chris’ approach was friendly, understanding and patient and most importantly his work and life experiences were very relatable which made the sessions feel personal and bespoke and not just a ‘one fits all’ generic work coaching template.
“I now feel I have the confidence to approach my work, deal with problems myself, understand there is no real right way of doing things, and to do things ‘my way’. I have much a better understanding of what I want from work, the things I would like to achieve, and how to go about achieving them.
“I would highly recommend Chris to help empower yourself or your staff, and not only that, he’s a genuinely nice guy to have around and will massively improve your workplace vibe!”
