“I approached James for coaching as a nervous and inexperienced graduate. I was struggling with public speaking, and felt under-qualified in my role. James had been recommended by various colleagues, and after our first initial session, I knew I had made the right decision. His structured meetings were excellent. By showing me how to appreciate the “small wins”, over a 2-year period I went from worrying about giving an update on a team call, to eventually leading and presenting projects to over 200 SMEs and senior stakeholders across my company. To anyone who is likewise lacking in confidence – I would definitely recommend dropping James a message!”

“Working with James was absolutely one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. He has transformed the way I think about my achievements; where I once would overlook successes as part of the ‘everyday’, I’m now able to, not only identify, but to really celebrate where I’m making big leaps in my life. James has been pivotal in helping me to identify and change my self-sabotaging behaviours and create clear and consistent goals that I’m able to reach. He’s helped me to replace or eliminate bad habits and my sense of self-worth has increased ten fold. If you need someone to help you achieve that ‘thing’ you think you can’t do (whatever it might be); James is your man.”

“James your blueprint coaching has enabled me to make those essential steps that have opened new doors of opportunities. No goal seems unachievable with you. You’re the most down to earth, approachable and practical coach I know. Thank you for getting me started in so many ways.”

“James has been my first experience with life coaching. I approached to the discipline without clear expectations. I felt I wanted to do something for myself, to better understand my defensive mechanisms and my insecurities in order to turn them into something constructive for my life and my career. Nevertheless, I had no clue about what it would have meant. Anyway, after the first “test” session we had together, it was absolutely clear to me that James was the right person to start this path. His empathy is impressive as well as his capacity to “maieutically” bring out the “real” issues to work on in a spontaneous way while giving them a structure at the same time. During the sessions he methodically builds for you a path, he knows exactly what you need and how to lead you on your way. Meanwhile, you have the clear perception that you are progressing – session by session- by understanding more about yourself and your objectives and this happens in a so relaxed environment that you wait for the sessions also in order to gift yourself a very good time. A time that you are not going to forget because it will change for good and for the better your approach to life and challenges. I would highly recommend him!

“James has been a very good support system for me over the past few months I’ve known him. When we first met I wasn’t very clear how to go about taking that first step in actually achieving the goals I really wanted. I can confidently say that I have achieved one of them and I am on the right track with another due to the clarity and accurate guidance I received from James. I really do appreciate his help, kindness and his genuine desire to see lives changed.”

‘I was introduced to James at a pivotal time in my life, when the path before me was unclear and daunting. After just one session I had clarity and a way forward. By the end of three sessions, I was off on a trajectory that I would never have thought possible just a short while earlier. James has been an inspiration and I am forever grateful, his clear and methodical coaching approach was exactly what I needed and I know that his wise words will stand me in good stead for the future. I look forward to checking in with him periodically to keep moving forwards. I have already recommended James to several friends and would do so again and again. James has the ability to help you find out what’s stopping you being in charge of your own destiny, the rest is then up to you and your imagination…’

‘A friend recommended James as a coach; I was not disappointed. James is a wonderful mixture of integrity, compassion, listening, guidance and firm boundaries. And good fun too! I always come away from a session feeling re-energised and focused. He has a unique ability to get right to the nub of what the real issues and challenges are, allowing me to examine the impact of the options available. A session with James is an enjoyable, thought provoking experience, and I highly recommend getting a slot booked in with him. You won’t be disappointed, and will know you’ve got a great guy on your team.’

‘James helped me so much on my career journey; I cannot thank him enough! The process started by learning about project management, but soon progressed into discussing my broader career goals. James showed me how to realise my potential, providing me with the tools to achieve my ambitions. I’m still on my journey but feel well prepared for whatever may happen next. I strongly recommend James to anyone who wants a first class coach and a motivational inspirational speaker.’

‘James has proven an excellent mentor. I reached out to him when I began my new sales role to help me bridge the gap between my current skill set and the capabilities required for the job. James was engaging, an excellent listener and allowed me to work out the answers for myself by providing support rather than spoon-feeding me information. He supported my professional and personal development and we have remained in touch. I would absolutely recommend working with James.’

‘I recently caught up with James for some one-to-one coaching. James was excellent in challenging my thought process, which allowed me to objectively weigh up the pros and cons of the career journey I am currently on. By relaying my own words back to me and picking up on my pace, tone and pitch he was able to effectively challenge me to stay true to my desired path – even if the road ahead may prove a little bumpy! I would highly recommend James to anyone needing some business or career coaching, or even just a general nudge in the right direction.’

‘James contacted me in December 2018, after seeing my LinkedIn post, asking for advice about changing my career. He asked me to consider my strengths and what I wanted to achieve before we had a telephone chat. James gave me strong advice, and action points, which gave me a focus for my job search. He then continued to offer support and encouragement throughout the year, and made suggestions for me to tailor my CV to a specific role, and to focus on my transferable skills. I am now pleased to say that I am about to embark on a new journey in a new industry. I would highly recommend James and his services to any professional person looking to change their career.’
