“This was my first time having any leadership coaching sessions, but Geoffrey has been a great coach, helping me to consider things in a different way and explore the type of leader I’d like to be. His experience in a range of leadership roles is evident and adds a really useful dimension to the sessions.”
Anon, FE Sector
“I know constructive criticism is valuable but I can’t find anything to be critical about. I found the sessions well-structured but with the right amount of flexibility, and thought that we covered some really interesting themes which prompted helpful refection outside the sessions.
Most importantly though, I felt completely at ease talking with you. Can’t ask for much more really.”
Anon, Public Sector
“I really look forward to my coaching sessions with Geoffrey. It’s the one hour in the week when I have space to think and be creative. He can be direct and challenging but I really appreciate his approach.”
Anon, Business Owner
“Geoff’s coaching has created a safe space away from my day to day work to explore tricky issues, relationships and career decision making. He’s been great at encouraging me to dig under the surface and find what really matters, and then supporting me in making changes. It’s been such a gift to have someone to connect and speak with who is completely unconnected to my organisation and colleagues, but who understands the context and can bring in wider perspectives and offer challenge to help me think a little differently. Thank you, Geoff!”

“I was unsure about coaching but Geoffrey really put me at ease. I think it is the first time I have really been listened to.”
