TESTIMONIALS

It was a pleasure working with Antony. He has a strong empathy, sensitivity to people, strong coaching skills and has brought a lot to the group leadership sessions, due to great questions and a caring attitude. People have opened up to him naturally, and he has shared quite a lot too.

From the very first session, Antony was warm, intelligent and empathetic, quickly grasping the nuance of my challenges.  He had a range of tools, knowledge and personal experience, which helped me gain insights that were immediately helpful and implementable.  He was also kind and supportive when my personal circumstances became overwhelming, encouraging me to take an appropriate and healthy pause. I felt understood and supported throughout.

​

From the outset Antony was welcoming, reassuring and present at our meetings.  I very quickly found I could trust Antony and that I could confide in him about my true feelings about certain tricky situations.  Antony was always empathetic, but he also challenged me where necessary albeit not too much so that I shut down or it felt confrontational.  Whilst working with him I began to question some old beliefs that I realised were no longer serving me and he helped me to create a more valid belief system for my situation now, not what served 13 year old me. 

The idea of coaching scared me, however the entire journey with Antony was a very positive experience and he helped me to find my voice which has been quiet for so long.  I cannot recommend him enough.  I feel I now have the tools I need to make changes that will not only affect my work life but my home and social life to.   A very rewarding and life changing experience. 

​

Antony's passion for the development and coaching of individuals and teams is evident in the many ways he interacts with his team and colleagues. Personal and professional development is something that he takes very seriously, makes time for as a priority, and is never just a box ticking or lip service exercise.

As his direct report, the first thing Antony focused on was my personal development. When his team and staff succeed through promotions, learning or other development milestones, the satisfaction Antony takes is obvious; in fact, it is it is palpable and infectious.

​

This doesn't mean Antony is soft and fluffy, and his priorities divorced from business's needs, far from it. He sets high standards aligned to business goals and remains focused on them. However, Antony understands that people and teams are what make a business thrive. He isn't afraid to give feedback but does it constructively and makes the path to improvement clear.

​

Antony helps individuals and businesses achieve their goals by being a great coach, and does everything he can to enable people, and teams, to succeed.

​

Having worked for Antony previously, the best compliment I can give is that I would work for him again in a heartbeat.  This is not a comment I give away lightly and I can think of only one other person in my career to date that I would say that about. 

Antony demonstrates a leadership style that is clear, respectful to others with a strong moral compass.  Lots of individuals advocate good leadership, however, most struggle to put it into practice, Antony is not one of the them, he is credible and authentic.  In demonstrating strong leadership attributes added to the fact he has held senior roles, that recently of Chief Operating Officer at C5, demonstrates he is more than capable to provide leadership, coaching and change support on an individual basis and to corporate entities.

​

I worked under Antony's leadership for the best part of 8 years. The crowning achievement for me was working with Antony on developing the foundations for training plans across C5's Managed Services teams. These training plans set the foundations for new recruits into our Managed Services team and served as a guide/pathway towards career progression for our technical resources.

​

Antony was instrumental in bringing Change Management, Risk Management and Continual Service Improvement Management to C5 Managed Services and later to the wider C5 organisation. Antony not only provided the knowledge on how to manage these processes but also the tools to be able to track progression of said processes.

​

On a personal level, Antony was able to help me realise my potential and reach my goals through effective people management skills. I have been able to successfully achieve management qualifications under his supervision.
