Chair of leading UK Charity

“Working with Steve has really helped me to understand what I need to do to improve as a leader – in fact, to BE a leader. His approach is clearly focused on the individual – taking time to understand you, your personality, strengths and weaknesses, and so on – rather than focusing on general ideas and advice. This means he is able to give highly tailored support and guidance, building confidence, clarity and effectiveness. I have never been a natural leader – quite the opposite in fact. Rather than try to turn me into one, Steve instead focuses on how I can use the skills and experience I do have to lead as effectively as possible. In doing so I now have the confidence and focus to unlock my full potential as a leader. Steve is also an incredibly thoughtful and insightful sounding board, with a calm, pragmatic approach to challenges, and is always ready with effective ideas and suggestions on specific professional situations.”
