Following your visit for team coaching last week I have taken it upon myself to try and implement new styles of thinking into my approach when speaking with customers. I have already seen results of this with a client this week and look to improve on this further in future meetings. I see myself and my team growing in confidence after all our meetings, and the results speak for themselves. Finally, it was great to see you get everyone contributing in the group coaching and talking confidently about their strengths and weaknesses. By addressing these, I can already see a difference in their mind set and their confidence with how they see their job role changing. The team is fully engaged and raring to go so I have no doubt Weighing Scales Ltd will continue to be a growing success".

Paul is providing mentor training to a group of us on behalf of the Growing Club. I have found his training style very effective, inclusive and practical. He explained an academic model of coaching to me that I have struggled with for years and I got it in seconds. Paul is helping me with mentoring and on strategy which is having a great impact in my own business and with clients.

I have been working with Paul on a 121 business mentoring basis for nearly two years now and have found our meetings invaluable. We have planned, and started to implement ideas for the future growth and development of Leonard Dews and as the next step, wanted to bring in the whole team to discuss their thoughts and feelings for the future. Beforehand, Paul and I met to discuss what we wanted from the day. I wanted to focus on the internal culture and values of Leonard Dews in a bid to align the business goals, with the progression and development of the team. I had been told by the team that ‘roleplay’ was not to play any part! So we discussed a combination of group discussion and smaller team group work designed to get each member of the team thinking about their roles and how they contributed to the wider development and success of the business. The day was a huge success, with each member of the team being encouraged to give their own views and thoughts on how we moved forward both as a team, and a business. Paul facilitated interesting and thought provoking discussions and had a great knack of encouraging those with less confidence to voice their opinions. The team came away with a better understanding of each other and how their individual roles contributed to the wider business structure and future growth. It was a delight to see the team interacting as just that, a team, and I believe that all came away with a deeper understanding and respect for their colleagues. I couldn’t recommend Paul enough if thinking about your business’ culture and values. His structure focused on the key points, whilst enforcing a business-focused message that centred on teamwork and respect. I look forward to welcoming him back!

While working with Paul, he has helped me find within myself the answers to many of the questions I had about my business goals and ambitions for the future. I probably already knew some of the answers but what I lacked was the confidence. Paul has opened up the right conversations and helped to unlock the confidence I needed to push forward.
