Testimonials
I had been having problems with my health and wellbeing for many years and my weight was continuing to climb despite, what I thought, were my best efforts. Francis took me back to the time when I was the weight that I wanted to be again and the fitness that I wanted to achieve. I very quickly reallised that due to various factors in my current lifestyle and stage in my life, that I needed to focus on a more achievable goal. He carefuly challenged me to set up a realistic goal and set out actions for myself that I could acheve in a fairly quck timeframe. Through my coaching sessions with him I not only achieved my goal but smashed it. My confidence in myself and my abilities has grown considerably.
Francis has a really calm manner about him which meant I could settle into sessions easily and relax each time we met. He methodically worked through things with me and helped me look for solutions I had not thought of via questioning. Importantly he ensured I was accountable to follow through with things when my default action is to procrastinate! One of the things that was really important during our sessions was the space he created that felt non-judgemental. Cath W
Francis has been inspirational to me, with the help of his coaching skills Francis supported me to see my life in many different perspectives, working towards goals I'd initially felt were unachievable. Francis supported me in building my confidence, to support me to being in a much more postive place. Francis has a calm, supportive manner and shows genuine empathy.. Don H
Through Francis’s coaching, I have been able to confidently approach situations at work and achieve the desired outcomes, whereas previously I might have shied away from the situation. This has helped me recognise my strengths as a manager, as well as helping my team improve.His approach to coaching is calm with a friendly manner. He created a safe space where I did not feel judged, but at the same time was encouraged to reflect and stretch my own thinking. I find that I feel more confident when faced with challenges as Francis helped me realise that I have many strengths, I just need to be aware of them. I often reflect back to some of our sessions as a bit of ‘self coaching’ and imagine what Francis would ask me! Amanda R

There are some coaching sessions that stay with you long after they’ve finished due to their transformational effects. The sessions I had with Francis were those types of sessions. While the goals were ordinary, the outcomes were anything but. Not only did the insights gained finally enable me to achieve those goals, those insights have had a ripple effect throughout my whole life. Francis. friiendly personality, immediately put me at ease, creating an atmosphere where I felt both safe and relaxed. Safe enough to acknowledge challenge and overcome those long held limiting beliefs and enabling such a transformation to take place. Francis is a great coach. Sheena P
