empowering coaching:

a safe, aspirational space for your growth and development

coaching that helps you see things differently…

  • Do you need to develop your leadership efficiency and effectiveness?

  • Has success come at too high a price?

  • Is it time for some emotional repair?

  • Do you find time to step back and reflect on what’s really important?

  • Do you struggle to say ‘no’?

  • Are you looking for coaching that gets to the heart of the matter?

  • Do you feel you need some strategies to help you to get out of your own way?

TESTIMONIALS

  • After several sessions with Ian my whole approach to life changed with the realisation that answers to all your questions are within you. By working together we unravelled the complexities of my world that were holding me back in many areas of my hectic business life that were starting to consume me. Freedom, fulfilment and enjoyment followed and yes more success!

  • I wanted to improve my golf but the amazing thing is I feel so much more confident in everything else too – thank you so much.

  • The great dynamic about using a life coach is their ability to listen to you and your needs with no pre-conceptions or judgements. My sessions with Ian over a period of time allowed me to express my fears, my dreams and together we talked them through with nothing held back. This in its self started the releasing process allowing me to challenge my fears and start making way for the dreams and ultimate fulfilment in my life. I was always wary of seeking help and advice preferring instead to bottle things up and simply create my own strategies for coping with the stresses and strains this mad crazy world can bring. However, a phone call later and a few sessions with Ian changed all that. Ian helped me look at my life with a different perspective taking into account my needs, wants and loves and what followed was clarity and confidence that I can carry around, and live life to the full in peace with myself.
