Testimonials
Rather than taking my word for it, here’s some comments from a selection of my clients.
Senior Manager
Thank you for everything you have done to support me in the last 6 months. I have found your coaching style invaluable. When reflecting on my personal journey with you, I have been able to identify some significant changes in my thinking and my ability to manage situations which previously I would have either dreaded or shied away from.
I can now recognise and believe in my own strengths, look at things differently, have difficult conversations, challenge positively, be comfortable with silence and most importantly have positive coaching experiences with my own coachees.

I’ve thought about it occasionally since, its almost like I have to remind myself that im not carrying that any more, its such a bizarre feeling, a nice feeling but I just keep reminding myself that I don’t have to prove myself and that I need to start believing in myself and I keep having to remind myself, I suppose because you know im 45 now and I suppose for 30 odd years I’ve been carrying that around and it feels weird to not have it. I do feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulder completely,
…….. its been a good feeling but an odd feeling, obviously I’m not used to it so, you know not every day but every few days I just remind myself of that whole drinking myself in, and that yellow what we talked about that warmth, and you know when I went over to the bin and threw that piece of paper in the bin, and it just puts a smile on my face, automatically puts a smile on my face, and whatever you did thank you.
Business Manager
What worked well in the sessions?
Getting me to understand/look back at the significant events in my life and the impact that they have had on my life, specifically in ways that I did not recognize and therefore did not understand.
Getting me to think about why I reacted to things in certain ways really helped me understand what my sub-conscious was doing. I had lost the connection with my sub-conscious and Keith has really helped me get back in touch with it.
What did not work well?
Nothing really
What does the Coach need to do more or less of?
For me, everything worked really well. I don’t think anything could have been improved for me.
Comments
Highly recommend Keith as a coach. His skills and knowledge have assisted me in making a major breakthrough in my state of mind and I have been left in a much improved position both mentally and physically.
Business Manager
What worked well in the sessions?
I found the coaching process a good fit with the way I work and the way I reflect. I found Keith very approachable, friendly yet challenging so that each session provided new information and opportunities for further self awareness, the tasks and techniques were particularly helpful, providing opportunities to practice them and then use them daily so that they become part of normal life. I found the coaching outcomes powerful, I moved from passive receiver to taking responsibility for my own responses to potentially negative situations, dealing with and managing my own communication and behavior which in turns influences how others communicate with me.
What did not work well?
Finding time to commit to sessions and to practice skills and techniques between sessions, if I were not so motivated to change my current situation I might not have completed the course
What does the Coach need to do more or less of?
This is difficult because for me the format of the sessions and the content worked for me.
Comments
If you engage fully in coaching and take personal responsibility for any changes required, learning more about yourself than you thought possible then it will always be worthwhile and powerful, you will take away life skills that are particular to you and your needs.
Business Manager
What worked well in the sessions?
Keith spent time to understand my perspective and me as a person. Keith made it clear that if I was going to gain anything from the coaching experience, it was important that I had to commit to it. It was important for me to have an open and honest experience, as I know by nature I often put a brave face on things and will not necessarily open up my true thinking.
Keith’s approach was not initially, as I expected but I soon could see he used his understanding of me to tailor his approach. The use of colours and visual experience has really helped me to embed the learning and strategies Keith has exposed and taught me. I had not expected to talk about my personal life during this experience however, it became very clear that the beginning that most of the things I am finding difficult was because of life long experiences and habitual thoughts, not just the here and now in the job I am currently doing. Much of what I learnt about myself in these sessions has enabled me to understand who I am, what I am capable of doing and how I can fundamentally change the way I deal with situations. The work we completed on my conscious/sub conscious was a real turning point for me and I will use this experience going forward.
Keith’s coaching style was very effective and experiencing the positive effect this has had on me, it is now something I find myself doing with in my work and personal life and the results have been inspiring.
What did not work well?
I can honestly say there wasn’t anything that did not work well.
What does the Coach need to do more or less of?
Keith is obviously a very experienced coach and in my experience I cannot think of anything that he needed to do more or less of. The experience I have had has been tailored to my needs because I was given the opportunity to steer the sessions in my way and at my pace. Some of the content has been very emotive and Keith made this feel a perfectly natural process.
Comments
The experience of working with Keith has been life altering for me. Understanding me as a person has been a tough journey and I have found it emotive, challenging and inspiring. My relationships with the people I care about has improved because of this journey and this without me knowing at the start has been the greatest achievement. Using the strategies and learnings of this experience in my working role and given me a healthier perspective, enabling me to deal with challenges effectively and objectively.
