VB, Music Executive
"I was so grateful to work with Stephen, who is an exceptional coach. After facing challenging personal/life circumstances, I needed to reset. I couldn't power through on grit and stamina, and I really needed a framework and - most of all - a plan. Stephen helped me to take a step back and rediscover my values and what was important to me, above and beyond my job. I was able to get out of 'free fall mode' and really reconnect and understand myself, my passions and motivations, and where I could best use those things to build my energy back up to excel again... which I have. I have skills and frameworks now for the longer term and I am far more resilient with his help. Helping me to build a new vision and plan was key to moving forwards again."
CM, L&D Specialist
"As a result of our sessions I now have a very clear understanding of my core values and motivations in life, and I refer to these insights whenever I feel uncertain or when I make a major life decision. With Stephen's support, I made a decision to move country and am now living in Canada. He also helped me gain the confidence to start a more entrepreneurial venture, which had never felt possible before. Working with him has been transformative."
RH, Social Entrepreneur
“Coaching sessions with Stephen have been invaluable to me, overcoming personal and professional challenges which, before our sessions, had been overwhelming. I was working on a multifaceted project which required experience that extended beyond my abilities. Stephen's knowledge, patience and empathetic nature allowed me to tackle challenges head on, and also empowered me to believe that I really can do anything! I always look forward to my time with him, and take away something new and positive every time we meet.”
MC, Tech Entrepreneur
"My mindset has been completely transformed through the activities Stephen has given me to practice and deploy during times of stress, frustration, and sadness. He is very balanced as a coach and, whilst he has a clear insight into 'where I am' and what he thinks I need to hear, he is very responsive and adaptable to changes in my requirements from a coaching session. As a result of my time with Stephen I feel more resilient, a greater resolve in my decision making (both personally and professionally), and able to take on life to the maximum of my ability. Thank you, Stephen!”
IM, Social Media Director
“I can’t sing Stephen’s praises enough. My team met with him for a full day session, and it was extremely beneficial… something I wish I’d done earlier. We were able to talk and learn as a group, everything from working out values, conflict management, targets and outcomes. But the most inspiring and ‘just do it’ outcome was tangible goal setting – this has changed the trajectory of the company, as well as for me personally."
SS, Designer
“Working with Stephen has made an immense difference to where I am personally and professionally. After our first session I left with a specific goal about how much money I wanted to make and a realistic plan in place to reach that goal. I also felt confident and motivated to put that plan into action. With regular meetings, Stephen helped me develop a marketing strategy and gave me insight and motivation to see through the various stages, pain points and work around any roadblock. As a result of working with him, I saw through my first ever marketing campaign. Stephen is always a great source of knowledge and insight; his many years of experience shine through in the way he's able to provide insight in so many areas of my business. As a coach and mentor he is great at getting to the root of my problem and helping me build and develop a strategy to resolve those issues.”
JK, Marketing Consultant
“Stephen coached me when dealing with a difficult situation, and difficult people, both within conflict scenarios and more Machiavellian situations. Using several methods, our sessions progressively enabled me to combat the toxicity decisively and effectively – addressing overt antagonisms and underlying issues – and also equipped me with useful tools and techniques that I continue to use to this day. Because of his coaching, I can say I'm now way more productive and happier as a result; more mindful and able to create and navigate towards positive resolutions through the choppiest of scenarios. Thank you so much Stephen!”
HH, Artist
“Outside of our regular sessions, a ten-minute call with Stephen before entering a potentially stressful situation – whether it’s being filmed, or having an art opening, or making important business decisions – enables me to have a successful outcome that I am 100% sure could not have been possible without his words of wisdom and rationality."
RB, DJ
"Stephen's sessions have played a vital role in my personal and professional growth over the past year. He has given me invaluable tools to approach traumatic personal challenges. By practising and applying these, I was able to overcome testing situations in a productive, effective and mindful way. Thanks to our coaching sessions I now have a very clear understanding of my core values, beliefs and true purpose in life. I have developed the skills to make more aligned, healthy choices within my personal life - and I feel much happier and authentic as a result. And a structured business action plan has given me achievable steps and (just as importantly) the self belief to reach my audacious goals. I leave every session elevated from Stephen's energy and motivated to put my plan into action. This year has been a transformational one for me and I don't know if it would have been possible without Stephen's rationality, wisdom, and encouragement."
CW, Commercial Director
“Stephen is a fabulous coach and mentor! This is the first time I have ever had coaching and can highly recommend it. Among many things, Stephen is a great sounding board and I have learnt so many things that will carry me through my professional life happier and stronger than ever. After the sessions with Stephen, I feel so much more confident negotiating those 'political scenarios' that we all face at work. Also, I now feel a COO position is within reach which before coaching I felt unsure of - Stephen has given me the tools I need to succeed...”
CW, Commercial Director
“... This additional, one-off session with Stephen was much needed. Stephen helped me talk through a situation that was really playing on my mind and I feel a lot lighter and equipped with tools to tackle the issue head on now! Stephen's knowledge and experience combined makes his advice excellent!”
RI, Marketing Entrepreneur
“I’m running a marketing agency which is going through a growth phase. Having several challenges to deal with - everything from task prioritisation to client and team management - I was looking for solid support in terms of coaching and mentorship. After having a virtual coffee with Stephen, I already felt I had a bunch of really valuable insights to take and implement straight away. In my view, Stephen offers a perfect combination of experienced entrepreneur and professional life coach that gives a much more holistic approach to some of the things we talk about. It's been immensely valuable to have Stephen's support... I've honestly started to feel like I've activated my superpower since we began working together! I also like that we can go deep on personal challenges as well as cover very specific business-related questions. At the end of the day, it all comes down to one’s mindset. So, anyone who’s looking to grow personally and, as a result, impact their business growth should at least have a coffee with Stephen!”
IW, PhD Student
“Stephen created an environment in which I felt enabled to be honest about my goals and address the things holding me back from achieving them (both consciously and subconsciously). Within a week of my first session, I was able to create an effective action plan to better prioritise my time, and rapidly thereafter I was back on my feet and my well-being and self-care improved exponentially. It’s been transformative to work with Stephen, and I thoroughly recommend him.”
GH, CIC Director
“Stephen and I have been working together professionally for a while now, and I really do look forward to each session we have. His humorous, intelligent way of communicating leaves me feeling optimistic and energised, and I've benefited in multiple ways professionally. I now find myself with a far clearer understanding of not just my own goals and how to achieve them, but also how I can translate that into benefits for my company through my work. He makes it feel easy - thank you Stephen.”
MS, IT Founder
“Even after a few sessions with Stephen, I already have a few tricks up my sleeve for developing new business. I have also felt an improvement in my own confidence. If you are looking to improve your confidence, focus and tackle imposter syndrome, I would recommend having an initial chat with Stephen.”
AF, Apprentice
“Stephen has been really helpful and offered great advice which has helped me put a plan in place for where I would like my career to be in the next six months. I would highly recommend him as a coach!”
PP, Marketing Executive
“I've just finished my 12 mentor sessions with Stephen, which we've had over the last 4 months. I can't thank him enough for everything he's helped and guided me with. He's very engaging, knowledgeable and motivating; providing great advice in every session and helping me professionally, to build my first marketing strategy from scratch, along with campaign execution. But also personally to become more self-aware, boost my confidence in a work environment and promote my personal brand. I hope to keep in contact in the future and would 100% recommend working with Stephen.”
JB, Retail Founder
“Stephen knows how to follow my ‘client agenda’ and introduces the right techniques and tools to make my growth more intense and noticeable. This is what I've missed the most throughout my daily life when I was on my own. From a Human Design perspective, Stephen's work, questions, and suggestions triggered the right responses in me... which is the only right growth strategy for me as a man with the personality of Manifesting Generator. Thank you, Stephen.”
ND, Job Seeker
“After a few weeks of post redundancy despondency my session with Stephen was such a boost. A great guy, very engaging and a good listener. Kept my attention from the start, lots of sound advice, and great ideas. And he was firm, never accepting ‘maybe’, gently demanding action. I came away more confident and re-energised. This is exactly what I needed and am grateful for it. If I ever need inspiration and a bit of guidance in the future, I know exactly where to come.”
AN, Civil Service Trainee
“Stephen has been a great mentor for me as I entered a new role. He passed on the wisdom he gained from his life and career experiences which has given me confidence in knowing how I want to approach my own career. Stephen talked me through work situations which have helped me settle into my new role, which led to me performing at a higher level and securing a permanent position.”
NC, Graphic Designer
“Having just finished my sessions with Stephen, I can confirm that all of the amazing reviews he has already received are well deserved. He is extremely knowledgeable and experienced and has a great way of putting things into different perspectives to help you with your confidence and mindset, as well as being accommodating with any particular needs you may have. I highly recommend Stephen!”
RK, Advertising Trainee
“Having just finished my six coaching sessions with Stephen, I can definitely highly recommend him as both a Mentor and Coach. Stephen was very comprehensive and thorough with his approach, and I felt that we managed to get so much value out of every session. Having finished these sessions, I feel empowered and ready more than ever to take on the world of advertising!”
KP, Marketing Strategist
“My sessions with Stephen were incredibly useful and opened my eyes to the career possibilities within the marketing and advertising industry. Not only was he highly knowledgeable and able to share valuable advice that I can apply to current and future jobs, but he was able to help me build a level of confidence and self-belief that I really needed. Stephen listened to my career concerns, and we tackled these together in a structured and conclusive way, leaving me feeling more positive after each session. I am now very excited to see where my career takes me. I couldn’t recommend Stephen as a coach highly enough.”
JB, Entrepreneur
“I have had a great time working with Stephen, he has helped me get on a steady path through his marketing and business expertise. He was always willing to go above and beyond, even if it meant setting up meetings with other experts in the field I was interested in. I would definitely recommend Stephen to anyone looking for clarity, direction and accountability with career or business goals.”
