Testimonials

With a wealth of experience in senior executive roles for renowned brands like Vodafone, Burberry, Adidas, and Pandora, I found myself at a crucial stage of transition in my life.  I sought coaching to help me navigate through decision-making processes and overcome the anxiety associated with this pivotal phase. As a firm believer in coaching, I recognised the limitations of self-coaching and sought assistance from Adrian, someone I had known for years and respected deeply.

Working with Adrian brought about a transformative experience for me, the culmination of which was a momentous decision – I chose to leave my job, a significant shift in my life after 25 years of familiarity. Adrian stood beside me, metaphorically at the edge of a cliff, holding my hand as we took the leap together.

Adrian exemplifies excellence and possesses an innate ability to delve beyond the surface-level. His unwavering commitment to understanding the core of an issue and drawing it out, even when it feels uncomfortable, is truly remarkable. What sets him apart is his genuine care and empathy. Trusting someone with your aspirations and vulnerabilities requires finding a person who genuinely gets you, and Adrian exemplifies that.

Adrian’s exceptional skills extend beyond his understanding and experience. He possesses a pragmatic approach that allows him to reframe situations and provide profound insights. Through his coaching, I was able to articulate thoughts and perspectives that had eluded me, leading to eye-opening moments of clarity.  And coaching with Adrian has had a ripple effect on other aspects of my life; I’ve learned the art of letting go, reducing unnecessary stress and anxiety.

What surprised me most about working with Adrian was the speed at which I experienced profound shifts. It didn’t require extensive hours of psychoanalysis; instead, a few simple words or a brief conversation could spark transformative change.

To those considering coaching for the first time, I urge you to seize the opportunity. Life is too short to remain stagnant and unfulfilled. If you possess curiosity, believe in your potential, and are determined to make a change, coaching is the catalyst you need to reach new heights of performance and personal growth.

Reflecting on the investment in coaching with Adrian, I wholeheartedly affirm its worth. Investing in material possessions without batting an eye while doubting investments in our own growth is a common phenomenon. However, investing in ourselves is the most valuable decision we can make, as it extends our lives in immeasurable ways.

In conclusion, I assert without hesitation that coaching with Adrian is worth every penny. It has been a life-changing investment that has brought me profound shifts, renewed purpose, and a brighter future.

As someone deeply entrenched in the tech industry with a wealth of experience and a reputation as a thought leader, I was initially sceptical about the need for coaching. However, my perspective changed when I had the opportunity to connect with Adrian, quite serendipitously, during a panel discussion. It quickly became evident that I could benefit from coaching, as there were aspects of myself and my career ambitions that I had overlooked.

Having witnessed the positive impact of coaching on my business associates, I decided to dive in myself. From the outset, the insights created proved immensely valuable.

Thanks to this process, I made the courageous leap to change jobs, and it turned out to be the best decision I ever made.

Adrian’s ability to offer different perspectives on daily challenges has truly been invaluable!

Surprisingly, the coaching sessions with Adrian felt natural and comfortable; perhaps it’s due to his natural disposition, or maybe it’s a testament to the techniques he has diligently honed over the years. Additionally, I was pleasantly surprised by the group calls organised by Adrian, which initially seemed daunting. However, they proved to be an environment of comfort and provided deep insights into both myself and the challenges others faced.

As a private PA catering to ultra high net worth individuals, my career has exposed me to an exciting and challenging world.

Adrian has helped me create powerful insights which have been the catalyst for an extraordinary, positive change in my life.

What surprised me most about working with Adrian is a breakthrough session, a tailor-made experience, created. For an entire day we delved into every aspect of my life and at the end, I have to be honest, I felt like a completely different person. He’s much more than just a coach, he is a trusted confidant who will go above and beyond to offer his wisdom and support. And if I have a challenge, he’s the first person I call.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked across various sectors, beginning with international relations negotiation for the UK government at the British Embassy in Mexico. I’ve been engaged with government organizations, as well as the third sector and NGOs, offering advice on policy-making and corporate strategy development.

My intention when looking into coaching was to gain a deeper understanding of my skills, abilities, and even aspects of my personality that have gone unnoticed. While I’ve accomplished many things, there will always be exciting goals I’ll strive to achieve.

Adrian’s invaluable experience fits perfectly into what I need. Not only does he possess a deep understanding of the industry in which I work, his diverse background as a pilot and his involvement in the public sector also offer a very unique perspective.

I met Adrian a year and a half ago during a crucial moment in my life when I was contemplating a transition from the public to the private sector – a leap that often induces fear in many individuals. However, Adrian helped me recognize the opportunities inherent in this change. His coaching encouraged me to be more risk-aware rather than risk-averse and highlighted the immerse potential of taking that leap, and not missing out on great opportunities. Without our conversations, I’m confident I wouldn’t have made that pivotal decision, that continues to positively shape my life.

As our coaching sessions progressed, I began paying more attention to what truly matters to me in life. Professionally, I’ve become more adventurous and eager to pursue greater opportunities. Coaching has not only benefited me professionally but also personally. I’ve learned to prioritise my family, align the rest of my endeavours with that priority. Unexpectedly, Adrian’s investment in my success has exceeded my expectations. From the very first session, I felt a tangible boost in excitement, ambition, and self-confidence. This positive change is noticed not only by my wife but also my colleagues.

Adrian’s commitment to the coaching process is unwavering! The best part of working with him is that genuine feeling of conversing with a friend. He shows sincere interest in understanding, providing tailored insights based on my specific needs, rather than generic guidance found in books. Adrian’s approach is non-judgmental, yet he pushes me to break down self-imposed barriers, which held me back in the past.

Coaching with Adrian has enabled me to deeply reflect on myself, my potential, and aspirations, all while exploring exciting methods to achieve my goals more efficiently. Results are not a distant prospect; they manifest immediately and grow with each session. Every step you take brings you closer to achieving your goals, and Adrian will be there to fully support you along the way.

In my role as a Head of Delivery, I lead change programs at a large organization, striving to create positive, transformational change. Alongside this, I serve as the joint Chair of our organisation’s network for disabled colleagues and hold a Trustee position for a charity close to my heart. My mission is to drive change and advocate for those with rare metabolic conditions, inspired by my own personal journey.

When I first considered coaching, I was looking to overcome the obstacles hindering my progress. As I reached a pivotal point in my career, clarity and self-belief eluded me. It became evident that this was not solely about work; it encompassed my overall attitude and its integration with my life as a whole. Recognising the need for guidance, I was drawn to Adrian’s approach and extensive background.

From our initial conversation, I felt an immediate sense of comfort and trust with Adrian. His ability to challenge my thinking in a refreshing manner excited me, as I sensed he could truly assist me on this journey. Adrian’s coaching stood out as a safe space where I could be open and vulnerable. His thought-provoking questions and attentive listening created a strong foundation for our work together.

The greatest aspect of working with Adrian lies in his instinctual nature as a coach. He possesses a remarkable ability to delve deep, asking the challenging questions that prompt profound self-reflection. This often requires time for reflection, but ultimately leads to a deep-rooted sense of certainty within me. It is this connection and trust in the process that has yielded my exceptional results.

While I am a leader and coach myself, the coaching journey with Adrian has been a personal learning experience as well. I have gained valuable insights that I can apply to my interactions with my team and peers, enhancing both my professional and personal life. Moreover, I have experienced an unexpected outcome; a newfound harmony between work and other aspects of my life. Coaching with Adrian has enabled me to integrate these elements in a more fulfilling way.

As a senior leader at Co-op in Manchester for the last six years I was looking for a coach, someone who could challenge me, serve as a thought partner and sounding board, and help me navigate the sometimes lonely path of leadership. I often question my decisions and motivations, and having a non-judgmental listener who provides reflective feedback and valuable advice was exactly what I needed. Adrian’s warmth, consideration, and genuine interest in understanding how he could support me were major factors that drew me to him.

Since working with Adrian, I’ve become more accepting of myself, less judgmental, and more confident in the reasons behind my actions. I truly feel that I have a trusted sounding board and thought partner in him! Adrian offers a different perspective, helping me understand my own thoughts as well as the thoughts of others, ultimately leading to better outcomes.

The flexibility Adrian has demonstrated has been one of the best aspects of our work together. When I mentioned that our initial meeting time on Fridays was challenging for me, he willingly adjusted our sessions to Thursday mornings at 7:00, enabling me to start my day focused and ready for work. Additionally, Adrian’s active listening skills truly stand out. He grasps not only the words spoken but also the underlying meaning, delving deep into the core of what I’m expressing.

While I’ve experienced expected results through coaching with Adrian, the unexpected outcome is the freedom to discuss any problem, challenge, or topic at any time. Whether it pertains to work, or personal life, Adrian embraces these conversations openly. Sometimes, I enter these discussions with specific expectations, but through his attentive listening and thought partnership, I come away with unexpected nuggets of wisdom.

To those considering coaching and sitting on the fence, I encourage you to give it a try. The benefits are numerous, and you truly get out what you put in. Coaching has had a positive impact on various aspects of my life, both professionally and personally. It has enhanced my leadership abilities, helped me understand the perspectives of others, and provided a safe space to discuss sensitive subjects. It has also emphasized the importance of self-care, enabling me to be a better leader, father, and husband.

Throughout the past 12 months of working with Adrian, I have been pleasantly surprised by his engagement and investment in my success. He demonstrates a high level of professionalism, strong values, and a deep commitment to his clients. I highly recommend embarking on a coaching journey with Adrian, even if it’s just for a trial conversation or a couple of sessions. Take the time to get to know him; it will be a valuable experience.

Adrian has been recommended as one of the best in the game, someone to learn from. I was keen to discover whether that was true, and Adrian significantly overachieved my expectations.

6 months ago I was at the beginning of my coaching journey. I have had a vision but no strategies or knowledge on how accomplish my coaching goals. Adrian has shared all his wisdom and knowledge with me. Also, I have gained so much value and important insights in every conversation with Adrian. What I look for in a coach is someone who will challenge me but also helps me find the current path.

I am a worker. I always get the job done, but sometimes I struggle to know WHAT needs to be done. I would never have expected the results from our conversations to happen so fast and I signed up two high paying clients in just one week with Adrian’s coaching and adopting his coaching approach as my own.

If I was to describe Adrian’s coaching in words it would be: Partnership, real, ambitious, fun, transparent and powerful. The investment has been totally worth it and more, every conversation helps me move close to my ultimate goal. I create insights and get tons of value from each session. If you want to become the best at your own game, you need to start playing it. Coaching uncovers your full potential and get you to places where you might have never been before.

Coaching has elevated me from a good player to become an elite professional player, winning trophies and championships and still dominating the game at age 35.

As I began my journey with Adrian as my life coach, I realised I carried a yearning for both professional and personal growth. While I had achieved a level of success in my career, I knew there was more potential to be unlocked within me. Simultaneously, in my personal life, I sought a deeper connection with my true self and a clearer sense of purpose. Little did I know that this realisation would lead me to a transformative experience with Adrian as my guide.

As a respected leader in my field, I understand the importance of my decisions and the impact they have on others. However, I also recognise that to be a truly effective leader, I need to stand firmly behind my values and bring my whole authentic self to work, after all how could I expect others to do the same without me leading the charge.

Being a female leader in a predominantly male environment I’ve attempted in the past to fit into a mould of what I thought I should be, Adrian helped me unlock what it means to be wholeheartedly authentic and true to myself, without compromise.

Embracing my core values was essential for my growth and potential. One of our sessions with Adrian was particularly powerful. During this session, we delved into the importance of “standing behind my values.” This exploration allowed me to gain a deep understanding of who I am and what unique qualities I bring to the table.

Aligning my decisions with my values became a guiding compass in both my personal and professional life, leading to a more fulfilling and purpose-driven journey. Adrian’s warm and compassionate coaching style immediately put me at ease, creating a safe space to explore my thoughts and highly emotive topics, something that previously I’ve found quite challenging to do.

Throughout our coaching sessions, Adrian skilfully guided me towards self-discovery, helping me break free from any limiting beliefs that prevented me from fully understanding my true essence.

With his insightful guidance, I began to embrace my unique strengths and potential, igniting a newfound sense of confidence in my decisions, both personally and professionally. Adrian’s unwavering support and encouragement inspired me to take bold steps towards positive changes in my life.

Today, I am no longer content with mere success; I am driven by a desire for continuous growth and fulfilment in both my personal and professional life.  I know who I am, a statement that emerged throughout our journey together, conceptually it sounds simple, but these five words have had a profound shift for me and a powerful outcome in both my role as a leader and my personal life.

By standing behind my values, I have experienced a huge transformation that has positively impacted all aspects of my journey. If you, like me, seek to align your decisions with your core values and believe that overcoming limiting beliefs is essential for growth, I wholeheartedly recommend embarking on this transformative journey with Adrian as your life coach.

His approachable nature, combined with his genuine commitment to your growth and sheer determination to show you how others see you, will guide you towards clarity and self-discovery, leading to a future filled with purpose, fulfilment, and unwavering confidence in all aspects of your life journey.

I am a huge believer in surrounding yourself with people who inspire you, challenge you and cheer you every step of the way, Adrian is the epitome of those qualities for me and I’m very proud to call him my coach & my friend.

Adrian is a great coach. I get so much out of our sessions.

I needed a coach after stepping up into a new role and coming back from maternity leave. I was focused initially on building resilience, but I didn’t realise how many additional benefits I’d get from his coaching. He asks questions in a way that makes me think about things from a different perspective.

He enables me to reframe challenges so they don’t seem as complex to solve and helps me think through different options for decision making. He’s challenging in a way that makes me really think about the language I’m using and how I talk about myself so it’s not limiting.

I feel like I could bring anything to the table and he’d coach me through any problem.

Coaching with Adrian was a positive turning point for me.

Through our sessions, I experienced a profound shift in my perspective and discovered a much needed awareness of my deeper inner thoughts and feelings.

His exceptional coaching abilities, combined with his genuine care and support, have consistently pushed me beyond my comfort zone and empowered me to tap into my true potential, make meaningful decisions and set ambitious goals, that have a lasting impact on my life.

I wholeheartedly recommend Adrian to anyone seeking a life coach who can truly ignite your personal growth, and guide you on a path of lasting transformation

12 months ago I embarked on what I can only describe as a massive life changing experience, a personalised breakthrough intensive with Adrian.

I hadn’t done anything quite like this before so I was very apprehensive, however I knew I had to do something otherwise my life would have gone in a direction I didn’t want. 12 months on, the experience has transformed everything for the better.

From my daily way of thinking, my personal relationship, my financial situation, career, and most importantly the belief and love I now have in myself. I didn’t realise it was possible to learn and develop so much over our time together, especially the transformation from the one day intensive session; this breakthrough has truly been life changing.

I will always be so grateful to Adrian for his support, coaching and the passion he has to help others live the life we all deserve.

He is a true inspiration.

Adrian is great! Everything you need in a coach, even if you didn’t know you needed it. An intelligent listener; he questions the things you aren’t managing to articulate which brings surprising personal insights. He has a knack for unblocking potential and self-limiting beliefs.

Adrian is challenging and direct, in a supportive way, so there’s no BS in his coaching sessions, which means real change is achieved in line with your own values. I’m delighted to be able to recommend Adrian.

I was fortunate to get to work with Adrian when he led my breakthrough session. The session itself was one part of a multi-month journey. The results were extraordinary.

I had high expectations going in, but the fundamental shifts I found through the process, allowed me to start paving the foundation for a future where I was truly in control and fulfilling the deeper goals I had in my life, no longer controlled by drivers deep in my unconscious. Adrian was a calm practitioner, being patient to take me on the journey but also being persistent to ensure I broke through the obstacles preventing me from seeing the world with clear lenses and chasing after my deeper goals.

I will be forever grateful for Adrian’s support.

Adrian delivers everything you would expect and his awareness and understanding of every part of the business is simply staggering. More important however, the genuine way he treats people, showing class and demonstrating natural leadership at all times

I would thoroughly recommend Adrian to support anyone looking for coaching in their career.

The coaching process and his challenging methodology created the reflections, insights and clarity which enabled me to develop my career values and priorities, before working out the next steps to achieve my career goals.

After just a few months, I have walked away with a new powerful understanding of myself, a powerful brand and bio, valuable insights into what I want in my career and a concrete plan. All boosted by a real spring in my step; having moved from feeling ‘stuck’ to feeling excited about the career journey that lies ahead.
