“As we moved through the process of merging two of our business it became apparent there were significant inter-personal issues with members of the Executive team which were adversely impacting the merger process. I engaged Paul to help tackle the problems we were having with the team. Paul and I initially worked on a brief together to scope and bound the problems and issues. Based on his vast experience and knowledge Paul was able to take the brief and following one-on-one interviews and assessment he was able develop an approach and process for us. Paul then designed and delivered a series of facilitated workshops establishing goals, targets, key behaviours and a road map for the team. Following the intervention the merger process is back on track and the Executive team are aligned, focussed and working as a single team. A fantastic result professionally delivered.”

“Paul is a fantastic coach who has helped me to evaluate and understand where I want to be by using skillful and thought provoking techniques. In challenging times, he has helped me focus on my true goals and supported me to achieve them. He operates with great integrity and professionalism at all times whilst also offering friendly advice and direction. Paul has encouraged me to take ownership of my future and to make realistic short term and long term goals in order to be a success. He has taught me not to focus on what I “should” be doing or what others think is successful, but rather what is important to me and what aligns with my values. I look forward to continuing to work with Paul and to further improve my development.”
