Hello,
I am a qualified Executive Coach, with over 250 hours of coaching and mentoring experience. I work with people who want to build more productive working relationships, improve results, find solutions for tricky issues, be brilliant candidates and make sense of career transition.
What clients say
“I have found Mike’s sessions hugely beneficial. A confidential, non-judgmental, independent approach to deal with big issues and develop actions to move positively forward. Concise meeting notes provide a good base for honest reflection and also setting achievable goals. I would highly recommend Mike.”
— Tim, Sales Director
“I always leave my coaching sessions with actions; things to consider for next time, different approaches to try; reading material – so it always feels as though it’s a continual process of reflection, and not just an occasional, intermittent conversation. The feedback that Mike gives me during the sessions is always honest and frank and also helps me with perspective (getting some, usually). I frequently find that I am reflecting on that feedback in the weeks immediately following the session too and adjusting my approach as we go.”
— Andrew, Chief Product Officer
“Having Mike as a coach has helped me to be able to express these thoughts and emotions in a safe space – without judgement. It has helped me focus on the positives and focus my mind back to why I set up the business in the first place. My mind can become a whirl of thoughts and ideas and plans and talking with Mike helps me to unmuddle it all – and I walk away much clearer. As I let the words tumble out my mouth – usually in an unstructured fashion – Mike is great at picking out the underlying key message – and reflecting it back to me. Something then ‘clicks into place’ in my head.”
— Brenda, Business Owner
“The sessions themselves are enormously important to give me 90 mins of ‘me time’ (that is already pre-booked and I won’t change despite numerous meeting invites/requests!). In my role it’s a luxury to have this time to focus on myself and to be able to stand back, look at a situation more objectively, and at times just let off steam. I definitely feel the therapeutic benefit and reassurance of the sessions on a personal level. And importantly I trust Mike in his role as a listener/sounding board – with a great balance of empathy, pragmatism and experience. ”
— Emma, Head of Strategy
“Over the past three years, Mike has supported me through a journey of both personal and professional enquiry. He has been calm, listening, empathetic. Above all, his capacity to pose seemingly simple questions has invariably enabled me to open up a path which I could not otherwise see. Shepherding me to safer and calmer places, never a tell or an instruction, the hallmarks of a fine coach.”
— Alan, Director of Sustainability
“Mike equipped me with the tools to overcome self-doubt, and master new skills through theory based analogies for my role. The expertise, experience and encouragement he gave have been invaluable. Mike has genuine empathy and commitment to his clients' growth. His ability to listen attentively, offer constructive feedback, and tailor his approach to suit his clients’ individual needs has truly been a great contributor to the success I have had in my role. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to work with such an exceptional coach and mentor.”
— Jaimini, Service Delivery Manager
