“I worked with Chris as I transitioned into a new role. Chris was enormously helpful in helping me to identify the root causes of my stressors and translate a general sense of "I should do something on this" into actionable insights. One of the things I found particularly effective was Chris' ability to strike a balance between identifying small actions you can tackle in the short term and broader themes which you can work on over a longer period of time.” — General Manager, Social Platform scale-up

“Working with Chris helped me tremendously to resolve some complicated issues that I had not experienced before. Chris delivers a structured and thoughtful approach to coaching. The structure is not too rigid and allowed us to explore useful tangents. These explorations ultimately helped me process what I needed to, explore options and then re-establish confidence in my approach. Through the sessions, Chris is a superb listener and responds at opportune moments with questions and ideas. The whole experience was exactly what I needed.” — Ex-CEO, Chair & NED, Portfolio career

“I highly recommend Chris as a coach to any leader looking to grow. I felt at ease working with Chris from the beginning. We focused on equipping me with the mindset I needed to overcome challenges in my role within a senior leadership team. I found Chris’ perspectives incredibly insightful and I was able to implement a plan using his advice straight away. When I found myself under pressure, I heard Chris’ voice in my head! And still do, more than a year after we began our work.” — VP People, InfoTech scale-up

“Chris has a very approachable, conversational style and I felt almost immediately at ease working through problems with him. His experience in similar organisational contexts (for me - fast paced, high growth, working with founders) meant he could offer really specific insights and cover a lot of ground quickly. We often jumped between people, strategic and executional focused problems, with Chris helping me connect the dots between them and identify the common threads.” — Chief of Staff, EdTech scale-up
