“I have inconsistent confidence in the way my work comes across. It’s hard to know how best to communicate what I do, what I can do versus what I’ve done. I’m not sure I communicate how good I am at it.
“You’ve helped me realise that there’s something big missing from what I’m saying – soul, magic… Now I know there’s a call for it. That there’s a place for talking about it.
“You’re a really good coach. I found this very useful. I’ve dealt with other coaches before and it was like getting blood out of a stone! It feels much easier to talk to you. We’re getting to the interesting bits really quickly.
“It’s good to go away with next steps, having something I’m really pleased with.”

“You helped me realise there’s something big missing”
“I came out with something that’s true to my cause”
“With Chris’ help I built and tell a story I’m more confident in. He brought space for me to experiment and explore my options, so I enjoyed the process of turning what I stand for into an engaging narrative.
“I came out of it with something that’s true to my cause, and connects really deeply with the kind of people I love to serve.”
M is a business coach who helps creative people find more purposeful, meaningful and rewarding work.“I feel my project has escaped earth gravity!”
“I would like to thank you for your excellent and helpful advice. I feel that my book project has escaped earth gravity!”
“What I like about what you did was you asked clearly well-honed questions to get to my current big issues. And this was successful.”
“You then asked the simple questions I could have asked myself. What should your priority be and what steps could you take? What barriers? How to overcome the barriers? You used a gentle questioning approach to get me to commit to a series of actions.”
“However, for some reason, I could not self coach like this. Sometimes I get ‘stuck’. You addressed my stuckness by helping me rekindle an attitude and spirit I’ve had in the past and I like that. You helped me find focus on where to start and that really moved me forward.”
“You are very good at what you do… I award you status as one of the good guys.”
“I have been re-energised with a new adventure which is great.”
J is a retired director and engineer who is writing a book about living a long and healthy life to reduce suffering for others.“A down to earth, listen-first approach: no prejudice”
“Initially I enlisted the services of Chris to help with some formalised copywriting for the team, but that task became more of a process for understanding blockers and evolved into a much more valuable service articulating the culture of the business and instilling it in how we pitch clients, onboard them and manage ongoing relationships in better way.”
“Inviting Chris into the business felt like a weight off me and gave me a level of separation from the team to focus on my other managing director responsibilities while he worked with the team to develop their skills.
“A few weeks into the process I saw a change in the team – they were more engaged in their projects and more confident.
“Chris really got under the skin of the business and took time to learn about the people he was working with, it was not a one size fits all approach.
“Writing is so closely linked to confidence and whatever headspace you are in and Chris is really able to engage with people on a level to mould this into a positive thing.
“Chris’s approach was perfect for our little agency, a down to earth listen first approach no prejudice he just came in listened, built an understanding and helped the team to find a better means to communicate.
“The change to the business we were and the one we are now is huge, our value as people and as an agency proposition has increased and we are all far more empowered to do our jobs better.”
