We are always delighted to receive feedback from our clients on all matters relating to the coaching and training services we offer.
Here’s what some of them say about us:
“Jeff’s engagement with the council has provided the catalyst to not only attain a greater level of self-awareness, but to also provide more focused support mechanisms to Officers that in turn has driven the significant improvement journey that the Council has been on. The support has always been positive, striking the balance between being, honest, challenging, constructive and value adding. My experience is that on each occasion I / we have worked with Jeff, he has made a positive difference.”
Stuart Brown, Chief Executive, Mendip District Council
“I have always found Jeff to be very professional and conscientious in his approach, he listens well and interprets and executes a brief effectively. He delivers and has always received positive feedback and is very keen to learn and evaluate his own performance. Jeff is insightful, sensitive and constructive, he has offered me space to think about difficult issues and work through them and develop my own action plan for addressing them.”
Bev Messinger, Chief Executive, Institute of Occupational Safety and Health
“The outcomes of the vast majority of these events have been dramatic, and all of the teams involved in the processes have welcomed Jeff’s input and style of delivery, and have moved on considerably as a result. Teams have either started to perform, or have taken their performance to another level – and in a sustainable way, which for me is key. Jeff – and his team – combine intellectual and emotional challenge, with extensive listening skills, and that crucial element of humour, to create an excellent learning and development experience.”
Keith Dibble, Interim Project Manager, Gastroenterology Services
Sheffield Hospitals NHS Trust
“I’ve worked with Jeff for a number of years and value the time, energy and commitment he puts into really understanding what my service requirements are. He makes a point of getting to the crux, and then augments my thinking with solid suggestions based on his experience. The end result I believe is truly collaborative. The difference for me is that Jeff gets it right first time. I appreciate the pragmatic mix of high academia woven into practical application, a rare gift.”
Rachel Kirkwood, Head of Organisational Development, Worcestershire Health and Care Trust
“We particularly valued how much care and attention Jeff gave to meeting the educational needs of our group, both with respect to the initial training and the follow on supervision groups. He was very agile and able to adapt his style and content to the needs of the groups, which were very mixed.”
Dr. Ruth Bastable, GP and Director, AKESO Coaching
“Jeff brings a wealth of knowledge and experience of coaching to his work. Working alongside Jeff watching managers grow from tentative first steps at coaching to all being able to coach productively and several becoming highly skilled and confident coaches was a great process. Their energy and commitment to their role as internal coaches was a reflection on the trust and openness Jeff is able to quickly establish in the groups he works with. Humour, challenge, intellectual rigour bring an exciting journey for clients.”
