"I approached Matthew for coaching following a company restructure. I was promoted to managing director of our Middle East business after several years as a chartered quantity surveyor and project director with the same company. I was dealing with the transition into my new role, during a period of significant change both professionally and for the business whilst becoming a new father. 

Matthew's experience coaching executives and change instantly made me feel at ease. A personable, knowledgeable and professional approach provided surety through a challenging phase. I left the sessions feeling grounded and confident of the approach I was taking.

The sessions gave me a confidential soundboard where ideas could be exchanged and developed.  Key benefits included in-depth 360 reviews of work and life and what steps could be taken to understand why I was successful and how to maintain and build on it.  Just as important was how to achieve ongoing success within a balanced life.  

I believe Matthew's coaching was hugely influential in helping me deal with this recent transition."

"I contacted Matthew to help me through a transitional period and change in role.  Matthew helped me prioritise, plan and successfully navigate the transition; offering support, a space each week to gain clarity on the most important issues and to hold me accountable to the commitments made in the previous session. Matthew’s ability to grasp the key issues quickly and provide intuitive questioning, sprinkled with his own experience and knowledge to guide my thinking was just what I needed. I would not hesitate to recommend him to others in a similar position."

"Immediately, you can see Matthews passion for what he does, which helped motivate me to commit to the process.

He helped me take a holistic perspective, focusing on defining the end goals and then framing each journey based on what was important. A true professional, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking to have a genuine sense check on where they are going and how to best equip themselves with the tools to get there."

"I approached Matthew who I worked with at a previous organisation. I was joining a new company in a different jurisdiction and was seeking a professional coach to help me through the transition.

​

Matthew was very approachable and quickly got to the core matters that I needed to address. Not only did I find our weekly discussions invaluable, but also benefitted from his suggested reading material too. 

I would have no hesitation in working with Matthew again in the future."

Matt helped me at a time in my career when things were not clear in my mind as to what lay ahead. His ability to listen and ask the difficult questions clarified my thoughts which then developed into an action plan.

"I chose Matthew as a coach due to his experience in the corporate surveying world. This gave me the confidence that he understood the culture and personalities I am dealing with on a day to day basis.  

Working with Matthew provides me with the unbiased approach and assessment that I need.  It is relaxed and informal, with no prejudgment and ultimately, I feel supported.

This has given me more self-belief and the confidence that I am on the right track with how I manage and interact with colleagues."
