Bert uses a variety of approaches, and has grounding in different areas of practice which I really value – he's able to deftly balance theory with practical application.

We built a strong rapport quickly and I felt very comfortable being open and honest. He was confident at challenging me and my thinking, in a kind way. He's smart and empathic, which was key to building this trust and openness.

Bert's coaching has given me a new perspective and tools to build on.

I initially engaged in coaching when I was feeling completely overwhelmed with work and life in general. Bert's approach and coaching style instantly put me at ease and created a safe space to explore what was going on.

I have come away from my coaching sessions with clarity on why I was feeling overwhelmed and most importantly practical steps in how to make positive change. Bert is an excellent coach who has made an impact in my mindset, outlook and approach.

“Bert is an excellent coach: I’ve found his style to be supportive and challenging in that I feel safe to bring all matters professional and personal to the coaching arena but he challenges me in my assumptions and natural responses.

I also appreciate the structure and frameworks he gives me to deal with different situations without judgement.”

CEO, Pharmaceutical Retail, 2023

“I went into my coaching sessions with the intention of working on my organisation: time­ management, prioritisation etc. With Bert, we covered these matters and identified tools and methods that I have consistently used ever since to improve my way of working. But beyond this, I was able to talk about and address relationship matters within the workplace that were perhaps the true reason for any lack of organisation I felt. 

Within the sessions, I felt there was an especially safe space in which to explore such matters that I would otherwise and normally find difficult to discuss; but we did so in a way that not only aired the issues but also allowed me to see how they could be addressed ­ and how not to take them personally. That I could do so, and that these issues could be aired and talked about, is testament to Bert's approach”

“Bert instantly put me at ease at the outset of our first meeting. He has a very calming, no-nonsense demeanour. I found him totally credible. What I liked about my sessions with Bert is that there were no gimmicks or unrealistic techniques. Instead I could determine my own course of actions. Bert was fantastic at asking me the right questions and building a framework to help me figure out the answers for myself. I walked away from my sessions with Bert with a huge amount of confidence, a concrete plan and a much more targeted set of priorities. Even after the first session I was able to make immediate changes in my behaviour that had a positive impact.

Overall, Bert is great to work with; he has the balance of challenge and support just right, he truly listens and the end-results are hugely beneficial. He really helped me figure out my professional priorities and then put in place the right plan to see them through.”
