Testimonials

We include here just a few comments made by some of our clients. Hopefully, they offer a sense of the kind of impact our work has on Individuals, teams and organisations as a whole:

Executive Coaching
“Absolutely wonderful. Impossible to say more in words. It is beyond a simple thank you!” Independent Consultant

“Further testament to how the PB Coaching approach is valued is the fact that our latest restructure led to the Chief Executive and one Chief Officer being served redundancy. PB Coaching was used as part of their disengagement process and a support service to the new management team.” HR Director

“If someone sold it to me, I wouldn’t have believed the progress that could be made.” Engineering Manager

“You’ve managed to take me places no-one else has ever done.” Senior Police Officer

 Team Coaching
“A wonderful enabler of personal discovery and a rich addition to theory and practice gained.” Chief Executive

“Inspiring as always! Exceeded hopes and expectations in spades. Wouldn’t be without any of it and the pace was great – but want more of it!” Managing Director

“As always, a great safe space created for me to explore and grow!” HR Director

“It was quite an experience and I know we are all far better equipped as a result to tackle the journey as a real team.” Director, Construction

“PB Coaching adopts a sound common sense approach to working with managers and teams. The language is generally jargon free and the sessions may have a fixed start but they are flexible and deal with the issues the Council sees as important not the facilitator.” HR Director, Local Authority

“I was extremely impressed with the event. The team have been nothing but complementary about the whole affair and, like me, are hungry for more.” Managing Director

Postgraduate and In-Company Coach Training
“I was recommended this programme by someone who had previously attended and was told of how it had transformed both their coaching and how it had developed the individual as a person. The structure of the programme enables you to learn a vast amount about yourself and how this links to your effectiveness as a coach. The blend of learning styles used on the course really helps facilitate your learning – from experiential groups, coach practice, being coached, observing coaching, feedback, theory sessions and group discussion. Much of the learning has been about me as an individual that enables me to be a better coach. Much of the theory I am also able to apply in the workplace and it has certainly broadened my understanding of people and change. I cannot recommend the programme highly enough – I loved every minute of it and am now enjoying putting what I have learnt into practice – both personally and professionally.” Learning and Development Specialist at Nestlé

“The course has been revolutionary, exciting and challenging for me. It has been a landmark in my personal development.” HR Director

“I came to PB Coaching as an experienced coach and NLP Practitioner. The course exceeded my expectations. The facilitators were excellent. Their style was supportive and they were good role models. They created an environment for us to learn within, experiment and bond as a group. The range of topics was challenging and broadening. I learnt much about coaching and much about myself. I feel more confident and competent as a coach.  The administration team were also excellent. Overall, this has been my best experience of learning with other people.  Thank you.”  Managing Director, Independent Consultancy

“The course was excellent and easily the best piece of personal and professional development I have ever been engaged in. The tutors were all excellent and I appreciated their integrity, experience and willingness to both challenge and support the group to ensure the most learning took place.”Occupational Psychologist

“Superb. A real life-changing experience for me – and I don’t use that term lightly. The last one I had was a good 10 years ago!” Senior Manager, Financial Services

“The Postgraduate Certificate has been insightful, challenging and extremely rewarding. On a personal level, it has represented singularly the most impactful journey of self development I have experienced in my life to date. On a professional level, I have developed the skills and confidence to coach executives to a high standard, and have received exceptional feedback in my coach practice to this effect.  I thoroughly recommend this programme!”HR Manager, Retail

“I gained a huge amount from PB coaching’s Postgraduate Certificate programme and by the end, felt equipped to go out as a coach with  good skills, a sound knowledge of the relevant underpinning theory and approaches, and a clear appreciation of professional coaching standards and ethics. Through the skill and care of the tutors I also developed a much clearer level of self awareness which I can bring to my coaching practice. The programme is challenging and requires full commitment from participants, but it’s fun, it’s rigorous and it’s a fantastic learning space. The degree of bonding of the group of us on the programme was astounding and I feel I have developed a group of valued friends and colleagues with strong professional and personal bonds. I would not hesitate to recommend the course to anyone and the tutors are all first class.” Managing Director/Business Owner
