Testimonials
Local Government Head of Service
Calum showed great commitment and enthusiasm during and between coaching sessions. He had a real and tangible interest in our sessions and this helped me to relax and explore issues openly and honestly. I felt that Calum assisted me in making new links in my thinking and also provided me with some ideas that I could reflect upon following the session. It was clear that I was in the driving seat during the sessions and therefore responsible for change - I liked this as it gave real meaning and purpose to the sessions. Calum consistently checked-in at the right times and quickly got used to the way I was reflecting on what we had discussed. He sought out different thinking pieces for me but did not 'teach' me them - clever! Calum has a clear interest in organisations, cultures and the way in which they impact upon people and their behaviour so I have no doubt that he would be able to do this for any clients.

Calum was the absolute definition of professional. Clear communication and working with integrity inspired a trusting and positive session every time. The goals we set were realistic and achievable. Setting targets and being successful has absolutely put me in a better place emotionally and professionally to make positive change. Calum and I developed a strong rapport quickly. I trusted him implicitly with some very sensitive information. He maintained the focus on me and supported me, even when I had to challenge my thinking. Calum is an excellent communicator. He listens very attentively which inspired my confidence in him. I felt that the plans and strategies we discussed were owned by me, but Calum helped me to shape them. Calum does his homework and clearly understands the context and pressures. He quickly understood the high level I am working at and the expectations of me.
