I didn’t pay them to say this...
“Partnering with Chris as my executive business coach has been transformative. His personalised approach and insightful guidance have sharpened my leadership skills and strategic thinking. Chris has a remarkable ability to identify growth opportunities and provide actionable advice, helping me to achieve my professional goals with confidence. His support has been invaluable in navigating challenges and enhancing my overall effectiveness. I highly recommend Chris to any executive seeking to elevate their performance and drive success.”
— JK CEO (2nd generation family business)
“I started working with Chris at a time where I was at a cross roads in my career. Chris asks the difficult questions and has an enviable way of reframing a problem. Chris' questions are challenging and his expectations are high. It meant that the impact I saw was almost immediate. I even found myself signing up to a network event within two days of a session; something that was completely out of my comfort zone previously. Chris has had a tangible impact on my work life and has helped set me on a path for success where I no longer feel at a cross roads. I would highly recommend Chris. “
— LC, People & Engagement Lead
“I was daunted and intimidated by the unfamiliarity with the corporate world and indeed launching and presenting myself accordingly, underpinned with a lack of confidence. Chris helped me to dissect my thinking, reframe my perspective and recognise my worth.
I found it really impactful being lead through the exercise to recognise and identify my key values. Considering them at length, reflecting and committing them down on paper provided me with an immense sense of clarity of what area’s required development and focus.
Chris has a gentle and encouraging approach with finely-tuned soft skills which generated conversation and deep reflection within. Certain topics were difficult and uncomfortable to admit and commit out loud in conversation. I had no reservation or hesitation having honest conversations and never felt judged in any way.
Professionally I have and continue to work on addressing the internal negative dialogue which I can now see, has previously prevented progression and performance. I now recognise the power and benefit of self-belief, worry less what people think and have learned how to believe in my worth in the context of a job interview.
On a personal growth level, I can clearly see which elements I need to focus on committing more time to; things that bring me joy, health and happiness to lead a more balanced, productive and accomplished lifestyle.
Dissecting professional confidence has helped me understand and overcome imposter syndrome; to recognise the credibility in my own experience, skills and achievements. This has reframed my approach, empowering me to progress and succeed with a more helpful mindset and strategy.
I would definitely recommend working with Chris to others because he helped me realign my perspective in a number of areas; this new perspective is allowing me to progress and make positive steps in the right direction to progress my confidence professionally and adjust my work life balance at the same time.”

I started my coaching sessions with Chris at a flexion point in my life where I needed to find direction, consolidate what was important to me and where I wanted my career to go. Our sessions were invaluable and I learnt things about myself I don’t think I would have done otherwise. I was able to talk to Chris openly and without judgement. He initiated genuine positive change in my life and helped me learn more about the person I am and who I would like to become. I always looked forward to our sessions - they were fun! - and he helped me make time for myself, something I haven’t done in years. Chris helped me tease out the real issues I needed to work on and created a safe space for me to do so. If you’re considering coaching then look no further.”

“Working with Chris has been a revelation. From our very first session, he demonstrated a remarkable ability to distil the muddle of thoughts in my head into clear, actionable insights. It’s as if he has this quiet radar for what truly matters and a talent for steering you gently but firmly toward it. Chris brings a perfect balance of humour, kindness, and directness to his coaching. He doesn’t sugarcoat things (nor does he need to), but he delivers even the most challenging truths in a way that leaves you feeling motivated rather than overwhelmed. It’s a great skill - getting you to laugh at your own blind spots while simultaneously feeling empowered to fix them. I’ve also gained a better understanding of balance - filling my time with purpose while leaving space for creativity and life outside of work. If you’re involved in a family business, Chris is precisely the kind of guide you need. He has an intuitive understanding of the complexities that come with blending family and work, from intergenerational conflicts to the delicate dance of introducing change. I’d wholeheartedly recommend Chris to anyone considering coaching. His approach is thoughtful, effective, and tailored to your needs. Working with him has been one of the best investments I’ve made in myself, and I wouldn’t hesitate to refer him to friends or colleagues.”

“Having used business consultants and mentors in the past I was sceptical whether Chris could help. My business was in a very difficult situation due to factors outside my control and I thought there were very limited options available to me to achieve my goals. Chris challenged me to look at problems from different angles. He made me realise that I could unlock funding by switching a situation that I had completely discounted on its head. One major lightbulb moment was to make sure I’m checking in with the decision makers within my long term contracts. It wasn’t enough to just deliver what was expected in the contract. If I wanted repeat business I needed to keep my business at the forefront of their mind. If I didn’t, my competitors would. Chris challenges you in positive way, and if you are honest in your answers and with yourself and put in the work you cannot fail to gain value from working with Chris. I would highly recommend him to anyone who feels they are struggling with their business. It may seem like an additional expense that you simply can’t afford. But I would argue, you can’t afford not to.”
