What clients say
Luiza B.
Stephen has supported me during a transition phase - I had just been made redundant and was looking into becoming an entrepreneur. It wasn’t the best time for me to make the complete shift, so I decided to take on a permanent employment whilst developing my own business on the side; Stephen’s knowledge, experience and candor were critical to that pivot. He helped me figure out what made sense for me and gave me tools and tips to start acting on it. Thank you, Stephen, I am very grateful for your coaching!
Frisco C.
Stephen is considered, empathetic and patient in his interactions. He fosters trust and a safe environment to reflect, challenge and grow. That's everything you would ask for in a coach, mentor and counsellor. I hope to have an ongoing and fruitful partnership with Stephen.
