‘I have had the privilege of being coached by Lee in the last few months and cannot recommend him highly enough. Lee is one of the best listeners I have ever come across and always takes the time to properly understand your point. On top of this, he asks absolutely brilliant questions that provide genuine realisations and ‘eureka moments’ in a very short space of time. I have thoroughly enjoyed my sessions with Lee, leaving each one with a refreshed mindset and the determination to pursue my goals. If you or anyone you know is looking for a coach then Lee is your man."

‍"Working with Lee has had a profound effect on my professional career. His coaching sessions enabled me to explore my strengths and weaknesses, reflect on my work/life balance and totally rethink my goals …. Lee’s coaching approach and communication skills made the sessions more like chatting with a life long friend than with an executive coach. I always felt totally at ease, even when discussing emotive and personal topics."
