Gareth is an exceptionally talented coach and inspiring mentor. Gareth’s skills in enabling reflective conversations were key to helping me generate insights that were transformative and sustainable - a terrifically powerful combination - and enjoyable! Investing time as Gareth’s ‘coachee’ has been invaluable.
Facilitator NHS Clinical Networks
As a coach, Gareth really listened to me and challenged me and in doing so, helped me to understand more about ‘what makes me tick.’ Gareth helped me to identify my key priorities (personally and professionally), work out what I needed to change, how I could do that and more importantly, helped me to find the confidence to do that. The end-result has been truly life changing. I cannot recommend Gareth highly enough.
