“Tim is a great coach who adopts a relaxed style.  He offers a pointer in the right direction by encouraging you to look at the bigger picture and consequently leads you to make a fully informed decision.” (Lawyer)

“Encouraged me to find my own solutions but, best of all, also offered his own ideas, anecdotes and suggestions, when appropriate.  Let me set the agenda but kept the sessions under control.  Gave me appropriate and very practical feedback. Was positive and often pointed out the “silver lining”.

In the first half hour of the first session I felt I got enough value for money to pay for the 4 sessions I had arranged to have.” (Senior marketing manager)

“He listened and was able to relate very well to the issues I was facing.  He didn’t say a great deal, he had a great way of getting me to state the blindingly obvious! 

The four sessions I had with Tim proved to be hugely successful so there would not be too many suggested improvement areas from me - perhaps a bit more empathy?   I saw “coaching” prior to my 4 sessions with Tim as a somewhat grey area – let’s face it, it’s not rocket science!  However, given his success with me, I have to concede that there is far more to coaching than meets my cynical eye.

A coach needs (and Tim certainly has these attributes) great insight, keen listening skills and an ability to put the onus on the mentee to find answers.”  (Senior finance manager)

“Tim promotes the concept of empowerment.  He inspires calmness and promotes open dialogue” (Group financial controller)

“Tim believes in personal ability and capability which enabled me to step outside my comfort zone with some degree of comfort! He provides stretch and challenge, but in a safe environment as always thoroughly supportive” (Head of HR)

"My sessions with Tim helped me to prioritise my aims and refine the way I presented them.  A mock interview was probably more challenging than any of the actual interviews.  I left my sessions with Tim confident that I could handle an interview and the 'out of the blue' questions."  (Graduate no longer seeking employment)

"In an increasingly difficult job market small things can make a big difference to the outcome.  I wanted to ensure my son had more experience of assessing questions and handling interviews.  He left his sessions with Tim with a clearer insight of how to handle an interview and the interviewer.  He was successful in landing the specific job he wanted as well as having the luxury of turning down other offers."  (Father of graduate no longer seeking employment)
