‘Julian puts clients instantly at ease with his professional manner and communication style. Our sessions were productive, restorative, and incredibly worthwhile. In terms of results, the sessions teased out some priorities which hadn't been obvious before the sessions began, and which I now focus on’.
Business Owner. London.
'Julian is a gentleman, a scholar, a man who knows the man that doesn't. He listens like an apex predator and inputs his wisdom in perfect timing. He is the paternal tooth that bites, as well as the maternal one the carries by the scruff of the neck. There is nothing more pleasant than to be heard and nothing more pleasing than to be guided. I thoroughly enjoy my time with Julian, he is a character that is equally pulling as he is pushing. He doesn't get your tongue twisted; he gets it wagging. Recommended all day, any day’.

'Jules has been working as my coach for three months and I have found him to be exceptional. We immediately established an excellent rapport which was strongly influenced by his warm, authentic and compassionate communication style. He combines active listening, intelligent questioning and the creation of a safe space that engender trust. His passion for coaching is obvious, as is his genuine care for his clients.
This has been a challenging time for me and I have been operating within a constantly shifting landscape. I have been bringing very different challenges to each session. Nevertheless, Jules has brought a calm equanimity to his coaching which is hugely reassuring.
There are many coaches out there who have done courses, read books and acquired the necessary techniques of coaching. For Jules, coaching is his way of being in the world. He is the embodiment of a compassionate and skilled companion who aims to help people be the very best version of themselves.'

School Senior Leader – Buckinghamshire. UK.
‘I learned how to gauge the level of satisfaction within various areas of my life and how to improve the way I communicate with my family. My coach was an empathetic listener who gave me helpful tips to improve my communication. This was done whilst creating a safe yet challenging environment. My coach had a natural ability to make me recognize my own strengths and areas to develop and helped guide me towards them. Therefore, due to Julian’s help and advice I believe I have grown more confident in my ability to look at different approaches then focusing on taking action.'

‘Having had the chance to take part on Julian’s coaching and mentoring program I would without a shadow of a doubt say it gave me a great deal of clarity on where I am in my life at present, where I was and where I am heading. Julian provided me challenge and support in taking my career forward. I set myself a target of becoming an Assistant Headteacher in the near future and wasn’t too sure on how to accomplish these goals. The sessions I have had with Julian focused my efforts and made me set some challenging tasks. I feel without the quality time and conversations I have had with Julian I don’t feel I would’ve left my current role as second in department to becoming a curriculum leader. Julian provided me with honest coaching and guidance and for that I am eternally grateful as I have recaptured my drive going into my new school. He’s an amazing individual making a real change in others’ lives.’
