'Chris' skills as an executive coach are unparalleled in my experience. He has an extraordinary ability to probe, to prompt, to provoke and to build learning and development into the process, bringing startling insights and laying down solid foundations - so the experience is not, like so many other coaches, just a series of exchanges, but an agenda for lasting personal growth. He has not only helped me be 100% more effective at my job, but also changed how I feel about myself - a really transformational coach.'
Nick Smedley, Director of Diversity, Department for Constitutional Affairs
'Chris assisted and challenged me during a period of personal development focusing on my leadership skills. This period of transition enabled me to shift away from the security of my home territory with a mindset of control. This has led to a new sort of freedom in my working life - and it's seeping into other areas too.'
Penny Eggerbrekt, Chief Executive Director, Oakland Care Group
'Chris listens to what I am saying and watches my reactions towards others. He then takes the time to help me understand clearly and honestly why I feel the way I do and how to overcome the more unhelpful points of my behaviour.'
Fran Freeland, Managing Director, KLM Ground Services
'Chris gave us excellent advice on how to transform a lunchtime leadership network - which was going nowhere fast - into a powerful and constructive Learning & Development Set. Chris has facilitated a number of sessions for us, and has brought his characteristic insightful interventions - moving us onto higher planes of understanding and learning - into our deliberations.'
Nick Smedley, Director of Diversity, Department for Constitutional Affairs
'Chris had the skill and good humour to nudge me along with gentle purpose and on occasion more robustly. However, the most important less tangible element was that I trusted him with both my thinking and emotional self.'
Penny Eggerbrekt, Chief Executive Director, Oakland Care Group
'He has fundamentally changed the relationships in my senior team, bringing the team much closer together in a feeling of mutual trust. Chris gives you the confidence to feel you can be totally honest and maintains a safe environment in which you can express yourself.'
Fran Freeland, Managing Director, KLM Ground Services
