I was initially sceptical about the benefits of coaching but found sessions with Tony to be enormously beneficial. Tony regularly posed thought provoking questions, challenging me to think differently about different topics, situations & challenges faced in my organisation. Within our coaching sessions, Tony was great at breaking down various challenges, getting to the root cause & assisting in development of practical, tangible solutions & actions.
‘It was a real pleasure participating in my coaching journey with Tony. Each session opened new perspectives and pushed me to reflect on a range of options. At the beginning, I wasn’t very comfortable with the idea that the coach would not provide solutions to my issues. Instead, he pushed me to reflect and come up with my own solutions. I quickly realized that asking the right questions is more important than providing ready to implement solutions. I found the process extremely useful as I manage a particularly demanding set of professional and personal issues.’
‘I had seven sessions with Tony who proved to be a great coach and a listener. I rarely have time to look at myself from a distance, so his questions forced me to stop and reflect on my personal and professional life. It was interesting to see myself through Tony’s comments and realise that what I consider to be “normal” might be far from it! He made me re-evaluate and think about what I really want and need from my life, which I found enormously useful and helpful. I can already see positive changes and hope that there will be more to come.’
‘Having been a senior leader in public service, Tony brings a depth of expertise and experience to his coaching, alongside natural warmth, and empathy. Our sessions have explored my pressing leadership question in a multiplicity of ways, and I am already reaping the benefits of our work.’
