What people say
A huge thank you to our traction implementer Ian who has had to answer a constant stream of questions and helped myself and the SLT get our head around a full operating system. We are fortunate to be working with you. We are very, very grateful for your on-going support. You have helped our business to undergo a revolution and we will always be grateful.
Business coach…. Mentor…. Therapist 🤣 Friend…
For me it can be incredibly lonely “at the top”. My brain is often a jumble of things to do, problems to solve, strategies to implement, clients to help, team members to support, legislation to learn. Plus being a wife and mum to two teenagers, a sister, daughter and friend.
I’ve worked with Ian for about six years (could be more actually!) and he offers a totally different perspective. He enables me to get my jumbled thoughts organised and he pushes me to get things done!
Ian has been my coach and mentor for over 10 years. Ian has been a great support and friend to me and has helped me focus on the priorities for me and our business. We have achieved many new things within the business based on ideas from the speakers from our group meetings or from my own or our teams’ ideas.
I can’t recommend Ian enough as a balanced, credible, challenging, intelligent and fun person to work with.
Over the years I’ve worked with Ian I have come to value his empathy and genuinely considerate approach as much as the massive breadth of knowledge and experience he brings to each and every conversation. Ian has coached and mentored me through some of the most challenging paths along my career journey to date, and always with an ability to break the most complex issues down into simple, easier-to-navigate parts. Ian challenges and stretches my thinking in a way that doesn’t allow me to run away from those difficult-to-face issues. This is equally balanced with being one of my most supportive cheerleaders. Much of what I have achieved over recent years has resulted from the exploratory or reflective conversations I’ve had with Ian before during and after.
I’ve been preaching the value of coaching for a long time but never managed to find the right type of coach that I needed. I finally found what I need with Ian. He’s direct, empathetic and fun to work with. He’s helped me as CEO work through plenty of issues that I was stalling on. I look forward to working with Ian for a long long time.
