I partnered with Frances towards the end of 2023, I was facing a significant career challenge, one of the toughest of my near 20 year work career. I engaged with Fran to focus in on next steps, slowing down and taking care in decision making and creating an ambitious but realistic strategy for my career development in 2024 and beyond. We explored my core values, which turned out to be an invaluable exercise and a key point in the development of my next steps in my career. Fran also led me through key thinking around my approach to setting clear goals for next steps as well as helping me get ahead of the challenges that will likely pop up along the way. Fran’s approach is careful, considered and exactly the right kind of challenging that gives you room to breathe but pushes you on into the new directions you want to head in. The sessions helped me step out of my day-to-day delivery of other people’s ideas and dreams, and to take much needed time to think about my own. I can’t speak highly enough of the impact that Fran’s work has had on my career and I’m already seeing the benefits in terms of a sense of strength, clarity and confidence. I would absolutely recommend Fran for any organisation or individual looking to take stock, evaluate your next steps and take ambitious steps forward in their development.

Working with Fran absolutely exceeded my expectations. Her words of support and her ability to help me orientate my thoughts was tremendously beneficial. Fran is warm, passionate, very clever, accomplished and non-judgemental. Time spent during our 1:1 sessions was a great investment. I would highly recommend Fran to anyone looking for a coach.

Frances gave me fresh perspectives and helped me work through active steps to becoming more fulfilled at a time when I was questioning my professional motivations and direction. She was a lovely blend of being friendly and professional, and her past experience in the corporate world was a welcome asset. I have and will continue to recommend Frances to friends and colleagues.

I worked with Frances during a role change; when transitioning from ED at a global consultancy, to a senior leadership position client-side. Fran’s broad commercial acumen blended with her high emotional intelligence and empathy give her incredible insight and the ability to ask the right questions to build deep context and understanding within her clients. These skills and our time together allowed me to form observations, solutions and action-plans making me more confident, considered and content. Fran’s natural coaching style is both calming and motivating. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Fran as an Exec Coach.

Matt is a truly authentic professional coach. I worked with Matt as my coach through a period of three months to focus on my professional development, and I wholeheartedly recommend working with him. The warmth and compassion in the way that he meets people will put you immediately at ease, enabling a sense of safety and trust. Matt patiently and mindfully pressed the boundaries of my thinking to open up new areas of exploration, and his skill at summarising and distilling thoughts into something that makes sense, and can be worked into an actionable plan is a true gift.

Matt asked piercing questions, that helped me to see the wood from the trees - but also actively responded, with labelling and examples from his own career providing powerful (and empowering) re-frames. Matt attentively listened, picking up on subtle cues to help guide our conversations towards core & foundational areas, and helped me join the dots between them. Matt coached me in relation to a work transition. We did some exercises that helped really progress my thinking in areas, by taking a non-intuitive (to me!) / indirect route, but it really helped shine a light on some areas that might have otherwise been hard to illuminate. Matt's style is easy and re-assuring to get along with, and he patiently let me control the pace and agenda for our sessions, effortlessly adapting on the fly, it seemed. I got a lot of value from my sessions with Matt, and would recommend him to others looking to self-reflect, overcome a challenge, or get more out of themselves, their colleagues, or their relationships.

Matt challenges the status quo, in a constructive way, in order to disrupt and improve. He invests time in developing teams and individuals and is a natural coach to help nurture talent. Matt is a gifted communicator with the ability to build relationships at all levels. While being a strong leader Matt is also a great team player and offers support to all those he works with. It is always a pleasure to work with Matt.

Jason has been a supportive cheerleader but also a challenger to help me find the right next path. Jason has coached me for many, many years now. It is under his guidance that I took the leap to curate my own portfolio of projects. He is as direct as he is kind.

Jason is world-class. No one understands better how to work with fast-growing early-stage businesses to define and grow their brands.

Jason has been my coach for nearly a year. He helped me see the bigger picture of everything I was working on (too much to handle all at once..) and to focus on my most successful business and within that, to target the most promising customers and opportunities we have. His advice on setting goals and planning for growth has made a big impact. I highly recommend him as a coach!
