Our coaching work loses sleep about helping people think and perform differently. Some of it focuses on developing coaching skills, much of it is about deeper, tailored 1:1 coaching.
Through our coaching work we help to shape brighter futures. Futures that deliver faster results (or slower but better ones). That resonate with the soul as well as the organisation. Futures informed by deeper awareness.
We develop the coaching skills of managers and leaders who need to let go. People with bright, capable teams itching to over-perform. People who recognise that coaching can be the springboard to getting the right things right and developing strength in depth. 1:1 coaching is also a significant part of what we do.
Will helped me unwrap the core motivations that drive me to work in this wonderful industry and guided me to a comfortable place where I could find my gremlin and look it straight in the eyes. His coaching is inspirational and life changing.
Creative Director
Will has the ability to explore and guide you on the deepest level and help you understand how decisions are made and how to influence. It was a journey of laughter and learnings. But most importantly a journey into myself to better understand how to lead and be perceived as a leader with impact.
Global Head of Access, Value and Pricing
Will's in-depth knowledge of models and approaches brings tangibility to our sessions which I found personally helpful. At the same time his wider coaching approach is focused, purposeful and supportive. I have made huge progress in my time with Will, in the best possible way he is relentlessly focused on you being your best and creating those step change moments.
Philanthropy and Trust Head
I had the pleasure to work with Will who encourages you to find the answers for yourself in a supportive but challenging way. He helped me overcome several areas which had held me back in my career. He is genuinely interested in people and maximising their potential. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him to anyone within the Pharmaceutical or any other industry looking to improve themselves through coaching.
Global Pharmaceutical Brand Director
I wasn’t sure what to expect from Will's sessions but I’m pleased to say I found them very beneficial. His communication style worked really well, knowing exactly when to challenge me versus support me. I left each session feeling mentally and professionally rejuvenated, with a clear plan of what I was looking to accomplish or the mindset changes I was making. I highly recommend any senior leader takes the time to be coached by Will.
Customer Service Centre Director
Working with Will has been an invaluable experience in my professional journey. His exceptional ability to focus on the heart of the matters that truly resonate with me, even when I wasn't fully aware of them myself, has been transformative. I wholeheartedly recommend Will for anyone seeking a business coach who combines expertise with a personable approach.
