Working with Tony Is a Transformational Experience
“I have been lucky enough to benefit from Tony’s wisdom as a leadership coach as part of the executive leadership development coaching program over the past year.
Tony worked with me to identify my strengths, my weaknesses and becoming a more self-aware leader. Tony has a remarkable ability to ask exactly the right questions to look at situations in a new way, understanding of my teams personalities and strengths, and approach situations with a new mindset.
Tony clearly is a widely well respected coach with a huge amount of experience. His guidance has significantly enhanced my personal and professional growth, and I am confident that his coaching will be equally valuable for anyone looking to develop their leadership skills.” – John Colcombe, Technical Solutions Architect at Cisco

“I had the privilege of working with Tony for the past year and use his guidance to sharpen my leadership style in some difficult times.

“When I reflect on the time that I have spent with Tony and the coaching I have received I am left with a few key points areas that I wish to highlight.
Coaching will only work if you embrace it. Notice however, that I didn’t say ‘embrace the process.’ Tony never took a rigid process with me, more preferring to let me discuss my thoughts and concerns and then worked closely with me to answer and refine them.
Tony also helped me see things differently especially in relation to how I both interact with my team but also how I engage with senior stakeholders.
Finally, Tony has shown me great ways of pausing to think and rely on sound and prudent methods in which to deal with the positive and negative challenges of leadership.
Tony, thank you – ‘Leaders are learners!’” – Stuart Dawson, UK Enterprise Technical Lead at Cisco

“Tony is a skilled speaker and business adviser. I’ve known him for many years and in that time, he’s developed as a man of great wisdom and vision. He never ceases to amaze and impress. My last interaction with him helped to overcome an issue I had when getting some of my team to understand the reasons for some of my ideas for growing the business. Innovation isn’t always appreciated or understood. Out of our session came the idea that I simply add a short paragraph to any proposal with ‘Why?’ as its heading. This simple solution has resulted in senior members of my team being much more accepting of my ideas and I’m looking forward to all the developments we have planned now…” – John Durrant, Award-winning property marketing agency

“I met Tony through the John Maxwell Team and knew at once after a short discussion that I wanted him to be my Business Coach. Someone here described working with Tony as a transformational experience and that it truly is! Tony has actually taught me to Think Big, to step beyond my self imposed boundaries and lift my eyes above. His sound knowledge of business building, leadership and management built not just on his own extensive experience but backed up by his theoretical understanding and knowledge is exceptional. Yet what I admire and respect the most is his coaching style. He creates a safe space where you learn, are gently challenged and find your solutions in a way that builds your confidence , resilience and strength along the way. My business has grown and is growing due in many ways to his guidance and support and as I look to 2021, I know his support and guidance will be a key factor in our ongoing growth and success. Highly, Highly Recommended.” – Jennifer Izekor, Leader and Founder Above Difference Limited. Certified Cultural Intelligence (CQ) and Inclusive Leadership Facilitator. JMT Certified Coach & Speaker
