Client Testimonials

We include here just a few comments made by some of our clients who have received executive coaching or have been on team workshops or who have attended our advanced coach training:

Executive Coaching

"Absolutely wonderful. Impossible to say more in words. It is beyond a simple thank you!"
Independent Consultant

"Patience has never really been a strong point for me, but among other things in your thoughtful and perceptive way, you have emphasised the necessity of making the right choice at the right time. That's a lesson never too late to learn and I intend to practice as well as preach it"
Finance Director

"The work has grown in many directions. In addition to providing a confidential sounding board for the Chief Executive, his coaching skills assisted another Chief Officer to handle his workload and emotions at a very stressful time and provided clear direction to the whole management team by placing succession planning on the organisation's agenda. His reality checks and 360 degree feedback provided a sound foundation for developing the chief officer management team."
Organisation Development Manager

"Further testament to how the PB Coaching approach is valued is the fact that our latest restructure in 2002 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

Advanced Coach Training

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

"This was by far and away the most enjoyable, rewarding and positive learning experience I’ve been part of in recent years, for which many thanks."
Senior Consultant

"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

"I had the most significant group experience of my life so far. In part this was because I felt committed to making the most of the course through the process of choosing it and then joining, in part also down to the quality of participants (a tribute to the selection process) and in significant part down to Peter, Lesley and the team. Thank you."
Senior Business Partner

"Thank you for last week's programme. It was the most challenging piece of learning I have ever done and the most important"

Team Coaching

"A wonderful enabler of personal discovery and a rich addition to theory and practice gained."

Director, Construction company

"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 see 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"

"The team coaching approach has been a big success"
