The Voice of the customer

---

Regardless of age, position or experience our environment and careers continues to change, evolve, and  whether we like it or not, all we can do is adapt, learn and develop new and improved ways of overcoming the challenges that this change brings. If you are reading this its highly likely you have already decided that simply accepting the status-quo is not for you and I commend you for taking the first step, which is to recognise this and to take action. 

Working with an experienced Mentor and Coach can enable you to diagnose what has changed or what you see as your core challenges and jointly work on solutions and objectives to help you develop new ways to approach the situation you find yourself in. 

I have worked with and supported a wide array of people over the years in the challenges that they have been confronted by. 

• Just Starting Out - Working with School Leavers and Graduates who are trying to enter the workplace. Supporting you through the transition into your chosen field. 
• Interview Preparation - Identifying those initial challenges most people face to develop realistic solutions and confidence. Covering the whole Interview process to give you the best opportunities to land that role.
• Striving for Promotion - Developing realistic and ongoing career development plans and objectives to give you the leading edge and improve promotion prospects.
• Role or Career Transition - Either by choice or promotion, one can find themselves in unfamiliar territory with the new and daunting prospect of leading others. Transition can be demanding and stressful time with limited time to make an impact. 
• Challenges or Changes Within an Existing Role - Everyone encounters aspects of both new and existing roles that they find challenging or wish to improve. These can range from undertaking your first presentation, right through to holding difficult conversations with collogues, employees or customers. Identifying those specific areas and going through a defined process or evaluation through to solution prepares you to meet that challenge head on. 

As an advocate of "life-long learning", I have mentored and benefited immeasurably from being mentored and coached.  My aim is to work with you in removing those hurdles that we all face whilst working with you to create the best version of you and  increasing your satisfaction and career prospects. 

I believe in taking an ethical approach to coaching and mentoring, and what isn't is a practice of shortcuts, hacks, quick fixes, or providing unethical advantage. I believe in doing the work necessary and taking the time to create lasting results. Below are a few testimonials from some of the people I have worked with. 

What People Say

I have known Anthony for over 10 years, initially meeting when he started as my line manager on a large TFM contract within the Nuclear Industry.

Over the years Anthony has been a mentor to me, providing support and guidance to me in order to navigate upwards in my career, building confidence and improving my overall leadership skills.

Like many, I have faced numerous challenges during my career progression and Anthony has helped me to step back and take a holistic view of each challenge, supported me in working through scenarios and helped me to reframe my thinking to ensure I approach the challenge in a more effective, positive and less emotional way.

Anthony’s approach is gentle but highly effective, especially when the challenge may be initially emotive. His leadership skills are exceptional, resulting in his ability to understand the best approach for each individual and ensure it is tailored to their particular learning style. This results in a great partnership approach, ensuring great trust and transparency throughout the process.

I would highly recommend Anthony to anyone who is wishing to take a step down the mentoring route. I believe that I would not be the leader that I am without his mentoring and guidance over the years.

"Anthony was my mentor at a time when I was transitioning between the military and civilian life. After a lengthy career in the military you suddenly confronted with barriers and obstacles not previously encountered. Anthony was able to de-bunk and decode a lot of the new language & terminology that I was now having to get accustomed with, but more importantly allowed me to draw the necessary parallels between those transferable skills I had gained in the military and how these translate into Civi-Street.  

A stressful time to say the least, but  having such an insightful and patient mentor enabled me to gain confidence and navigate the maze of  the new world.
