Recent Clients

 

Tony recently worked with an entrepreneur who started an engineering company in the aerospace industry. An accomplished engineer with high technical skills, as his business grew rapidly he found that he was spending less time as an engineer and more time on people issues and organization development. The coaching improved his people skills, opened up communication with staff and customers, and highlighted bottlenecks in the system which the entrepreneur was able to remedy.

 

Another client involved a newly appointed NHS Board member who felt that she lacked impact at board meetings and that, therefore, some of her ideas were not taken seriously. After several coaching sessions about personal impact,  increasing confidence and developing specific tools and techniques for getting and keeping her peers’ attention, this technically skilled and experienced manager was able to put her years of experience to better use in a more influential forum.

 

Tony assisted a Finance Director in the telecoms industry who was appointed as a CEO. His skill with budgets and spreadsheets was highly respected, but with no leadership development to speak of he found he lacked credibility across other areas of the business. Coaching helped him to identify key traits of leadership and to develop his own strengths and ability without losing his personal values.
