Great Coaches

One of the greatest things about being a coach is the vast array of amazing people I get to meet. Whether it’s my clients, my colleagues or people I meet at different events, I’m always in awe of the fantastic work people are doing.

One of the things I hear from coaches quite often is their fear that other coaches are going to take business away from them. Not because they mean too but just because there’s a lot of people doing coaching these days.

That kind of belief can only exist if you’re working from the assumption that every client should come to you and that you as a coach need more clients. The truth is, it’s not the number of clients you see that makes a successful coaching practice, it’s the transformations you help your clients to make.

When you start to work from a place of freedom and transformation, you’ll start to get the clients that you really want. If needing clients is the primary driver then it’s going to change how effective you can be as a coach, but seeing clients because they excite you and you know you can truly help them, makes it so both you and your clients have the freedom and opportunity to trully change.

On this note, I’d like to introduce you to some coaches who I think do amazing work. “Woah, hold your horses lad!!” I hear some of you shouting. “You’re promoting the competition?”. The true answer that that is no. I’m not.

The reason I’m not is because each of these people in their own right are amazing coaches and do wonderful work. One of the things that makes the work they do so wonderful is that they only see clients they really want to see. Competition only exists when coaches are all fighting for the same clients. It’s simply not true that every coach is right for every client and every client should want to see you. The more-than-likely-truth is that each coach and each client are unique and because of this, different people will be more suited to working with different coaches.

My prime objective is the transformations of my clients. When I know they’ll benefit hugely from the work of other coaches, these are the people I refer them to:

Steve East

Steve is a fantastic coach and friend living and working in Horsham, West Sussex. Steve and I have trained together for over 3 years and in that time I’ve come to recognise him as one of the best coaches in the UK. His genius is his ability to take what seem like complex problems and to turn them quickly and elegantly into things that can be easily solved.

Jenny Waller

Jenny has been a friend and colleague for around 4 years now and she’s one of the people I go to for my own coaching. One of Jen’s specialities is Confidence Coaching and Coaching for Job Seekers. Read what her clients say about her, you’ll be amazed.

Chris Morris

Chris is one of the most inspiring people I know. As a young man he was already changing political policy and now he’s helping people to become amazing at what they do. Chris works with people who want to take what they already have and become even better at it. The work Chris does truly is about creating the kind of future for yourself that makes you go “Wow!”

Katie Abbott

I met Katie in January 2009 at a training course in Mexico and since then she’s been one of the few people who inspire me  just by being around her. Katie’s flair and positivity absolutely shine and it’s hard not to change when you’re around her.

Steve Woolston

Steve is a down-to-earth yet business minded coach, consultant and trainer. Steve will open up a whole new realm of ideas and possibilities and, exploring these things with him is worth it’s weight in gold. I’ve been around Steve for a couple of years now through various trainings and each time we meet up I’m amazed at how much more skilled he’s become. Truly inspiring.

These are just some of the fantastic coaches I know that make this work truly magical. There’s enough room in this world for everyone and the more we build one another up and inspire each other into creating new and exciting things, the more successful and amazing we’re all going to become.
