“Coaching with Tony has been game changing for me. As someone who hadn’t done a lot of coaching or therapy before it was mind blowing to realise how much we had to talk about. A healthy reminder that anyone can benefit from coaching regardless of what problems you face and where you are in your life/career. Every session brought new valuable insights and I was constantly impressed by how Tony managed to ask the right questions that enabled me to reflect on things in a new light and with different perspectives.
Tony opens up to a safe space where it feels easy to delve into all kinds of conversation. He is patient, respectful and encouraging. I can warmly recommend his sessions to anyone that wants to improve their skills as a CFO but also more importantly gain a deeper understanding of yourself and what matters to you in your life. The insights I have from these six months with Tony are ones that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Thank you so much!”
Carolina Einarsson, CFO
“Tony is a brilliant coach and has been a huge help in understanding what is important to me, and ultimately what I am looking for in my career.
His approach is very kind, patient and understanding - he listens deeply and reframes issues in a different light to help get the heart of matters, often in a way that would not have crossed my mind.
By questioning me and encouraging me to explore my thoughts and feelings more deeply, Tony has helped formulate the steps I need to take to enhance my career.
I would highly recommend Tony, and hope to work with him again in the future.”
James Grinstead, Finance Director
“On our initial phone call, the first thing that stood out to me about Tony was how effective he is at listening. I believe this in itself is a rare skill. Tony’s initial focus was purely on taking the time to clearly understand my thought processes and the reasoning behind them. He was not judgemental about my views or feelings and instead asked specific questions to establish my current position relative to what I wanted to achieve.
I then found our conversations to be highly exploratory, which I found incredibly useful. Tony’s approach was very effective in terms of opening my mind and enabling me to consider my challenges from a different perspective. I also found Tony’s experience in senior finance roles invaluable, because I could ask his view on certain situations knowing that he will have been in a similar position previously.
As a result of our conversations, the main obstacle in my mind that I was concerned about no longer seemed to be as daunting, because I viewed it in a completely different way. This ultimately helped me to confidently take action and achieve my goal. I would highly recommend Tony to anyone who is looking to progress and is not clear on exactly how to get there.”
Chris Romain, CFO
“The best thing I found about working with Tony is he is quite exceptional at helping you find the clarity in your own thinking to solve whatever problem it is you are looking for an answer on, and where necessary asking you the right question to steer you in the right direction, no easy skill.
It was disappointing when our sessions came to an end particularly as Tony is a genuinely nice guy and someone you can trust as a mentor/coach and a person I would enjoy working with again in the future.”
Tim Elliot, Head of Finance / Divisional Finance Head
“Tony is a deep listener and therefore is able to pick up even what I did not explicitly say and helped me to overcome the mental barriers to achieve my goals.
He helped me to look at things at different angles and frame my thoughts such that it helped me to approach everything positively.
During the sessions he provokes thinking and makes it "all about you" which helps one to get clarity on what's really important and also why.
I would highly recommend Tony's coaching as I greatly benefitted from the sessions, especially to get rid of unwanted clutter and fear in my mind and focus on what's helpful to move forward, be it career or life ambitions in general.”
Gnana Mahilrajah, Head of Finance
“Tony is an excellent business coach. He is patient and listens exceptionally well. He asked all the right questions to inspire me to look inside myself to find a solution to the challenges that I had.
Tony created a very trusted atmosphere where I could be open and focus on working towards the positive change. His integrity, experience in business and commitment to coaching meant that I felt safe and understood and ultimately chose him to be my coach.
I received invaluable advice about the interview process and secured a role shortly after I started working with Tony.
Working with Tony was very empowering, gave me a fresh perspective and made me a more confident person.
Thank you Tony, I am really grateful for all your help.”
Agata Zak, Senior Finance Analyst
“Tony has a great ability to refocus and re-frame your mindset. He is a great listener and really coached i.e., helped me to find the solution to problems from within myself rather than immediately giving his own solutions.
I really benefited from Tony’s ability to listen and understand where I was coming from and able to pick up on the real substance of a problem and how to re-frame it for the better. He was so friendly, empathetic and I never felt rushed.”
Senior Finance Leader, Large Multinational Media Company
“I found Tony to be a deeply empathetic and reflective coach, who relied on his relevant industry experience as a finance director and CFO. He patiently listened to me while I discussed my career history and expressed my doubts. He helped me discover new approaches to set my goals, and new perspectives to view my past and my future.
Throughout these sessions I undertook focussed reflection, and by the end of each I felt more confident and certain about the direction I want to take my finance career in.
In particular, I used a number of the lessons learned from these sessions as examples during my online interviews, and I was lucky to secure a highly relevant finance role on my return to Australia.
If you are looking to transition from a technical finance professional into a finance leader, Tony will be a great asset to help you get there.”
Varisht Gosain, Project Finance Coordinator
"As a coach Tony had the ability in my opinion to coax out ideas and feelings I didn’t even know was in me. He phrases questions in a great way to guide you and reveal what you truly want without any outside influence. Working with him helped me understand there is more than one way I can achieve my goal. Tony’s line of questioning and thought process will definitely be something I use going forward"
Rakhi Vaman, Finance Manager , Global Marketing Agency
“Tony is an exceptional coach. He listens exceptionally well and what I appreciate most about Tony's style of coaching is that he got the best out of me, and I personally experienced terrific results from having sessions with him. Tony gives you the space during sessions to be yourself - he's also super patient and gives you time to think things through properly - never did I feel rushed or under pressure to make a decision. I felt renewed with fresh perspectives after having sessions with Tony. I am looking forward to implementing what I learned through spending time with Tony - a positive turn around in results in a short space of time. If you want a quick turnaround and a fresh perspective in your business - I would definitely recommend Tony (yes without hesitation). Thank you Tony for your support and help. Appreciated”
Beverley Spencer, Founder & Managing Director, Executive Coaching Company
“During my time working with Tony I have been empowered to make some significant changes in my life. During our sessions Tony created an open and collaborative space for me to truly explore my situation from multiple angles. At every stage of the process I felt he listened with precision and helped me navigate my thinking by offering up astute observations and challenges that allowed me to really clarify my goals and aspirations. Tony’s passion and commitment to coaching inspired great confidence in me, and I’m exceptionally grateful for his support as I step into an exciting new reality.”
Tamsin Williamson, Senior Communications Director, Marketing Agency
As a mediator and trainer, I have had a lot of experience of working with coaches. Having said that I thoroughly enjoyed and benefitted from being coached by Tony. In a very short period, Tony got to the root of the challenge. More importantly, he quickly but gently guided me through a challenge I was faced with to find exciting solutions both in the long and short term. Tony’s experience in business as well as his expertise and integrity as a coach means that I could refer him to any executive with complete confidence.
Louisa Weinstein, Founder, The Conflict Resolution Centre
Tony is a great listener, a very good guy and a thoughtful and insightful coach. His years spent in a variety of corporate environments and more recently, in high growth start-ups, and now running his own coaching company, means he understands a lot and is uniquely positioned to add value to a conversation. More than that however, he is determined to help his clients achieve clarity of mind and in doing so, their potential. I whole-heartedly recommend Tony to anyone thinking about using an executive coach.
Jonathan Gordon, Gershon Legal Search
“Tony is an excellent business coach, with a unique and patient coach style that really gets the best out of you. As a foreign exchange broker for an international company, the role is very demanding consisting of ongoing client demands, volatile markets and high expectations. During our 121 sessions we were able to discover roadblocks, tackle challenges and find more effective methods of working. The results have been very impressive, I found after each session I had a fresh perspective and enjoyed implementing what I learned. I highly recommend Tony’s services for professionals and business owners looking for an effective business coach.”
Richard Torres, Business Development Manager, Global Forex Provider
"This was my first experience working with a career coach and it has proven to be an invaluable experience. Tony has coached me on a professional and personal level as I have transitioned through one of the biggest career changes to date. During this time Tony has not only helped me to lay out a clear career trajectory based on a clear understanding of my personal goals and aspirations, but also, has helped me create a new framework for work-life balance and how I can have a career which also enriches my family life. After only a few sessions I had started to develop clear goals, direction, and an action plan, which I will be able to carry on after our sessions and revise to reflect my changing situation. I cannot recommend Tony enough."
Harry Steer, Planner, Independent Marketing Agency
“I've found working with Tony immensely helpful. In my case, I had a destination of where I wanted to get to, and some sense of how to get there, but Tony gave it all structure, helped me break it down into smaller parts, and made it more achievable. Having him there on an ongoing basis made me more accountable to myself and more committed to following the plan we set together. Tony is incredibly perceptive, down to earth, reliable, thoughtful, and a great listener. His sessions have helped me tremendously, so I'd recommend him highly to anyone looking to give their life a little more direction.”
Director, Global Marketing Agency
“Tony really helped me to move forward with my plans to start a small business, starting with effective goal setting, through to constructive approaches to challenges. I would wholeheartedly recommend Tony’s coaching to anyone looking to create change in their lives but who may not know quite how to make it happen. “
Jane Gerber, Business Owner
"Tony is a caring and engaged coach with a genuine interest in his client. Not only did I feel comfortable working with Tony from the start, I felt he had my best interests at heart. Tony’s work showed early results for me, inspiring me to take action towards achieving my goals in a way I had previously been unable to do. He helped me identify many positive tools to use in achieving my goals as well as helping me combat limiting beliefs and those ideas that were holding me back. I wholeheartedly recommend Tony to anyone who wants help and partnership in trying to achieve anything in life they have struggled to progress with alone. I feel Tony has helped put me firmly on the pathway to start achieving my goal."
