Sample testimonials - there are many more to be found here
Having been sceptical about the whole idea of coaching, I was actually extremely impressed at just how much I learnt, and how I was able to change the way I work for the better. From finding effective resolutions to operational and employee problems, to coping better with stressful situations, I wish I had signed up for this a lot sooner! I found it so easy to talk to Iain and discuss things with him in detail, which is something I truly believe everyone can benefit from. If you also think you’re the kind of person who doesn’t need this kind of experience, you might want to think again!
Ben Blanchard, Head of India, Biogrow
Iain is a very effective coach. He helped me to see issues or perspectives in my work that I hadn’t previously considered and gave me invaluable support when I was developing the strategy of my organisation, United Against Malnutrition and Hunger. Iain is thoughtful and considered in his approach and brings a wealth of experience to it. I always left our coaching sessions with the sense that I had learned something new and useful.

From Overwhelm to Strategic Clarity – CEO, UK Health Alliance
When coaching began, John was working alone, overwhelmed by administration and struggling to establish a strategic direction for his new organisation. Over several sessions, he developed a Strategy on a Page (SOAP) that clarified his goals and priorities. By incorporating board feedback and refining tactical objectives, John transformed his initial ideas into a robust strategic plan. With coaching support, he successfully presented the strategy to the Leadership Council, garnering their buy-in. John’s progress demonstrates the power of coaching to turn ambiguity into actionable clarity, equipping him to lead with confidence and drive organisational growth.
Navigating Overwhelm to Achieve Strategic Focus - CEO African Youth NGO
When coaching began, Marot was balancing an overextended schedule, overwhelming administrative tasks, and deep frustration with systemic challenges in Africa. Despite leading a prominent youth organisation, he struggled with strategic direction, delegation, and work-life balance. Through coaching, Marot implemented time management strategies, delegated effectively, and created a "Strategy on a Page" to align his organisational goals with his personal vision. He also adopted a coaching leadership style to empower his team. By the end of the process, Marot had built a clearer focus, stronger family relationships, and confidence in his leadership. This transformation illustrates how coaching can turn complexity into clarity and actionable success.
