TESTIMONIALS
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
As a new entrant into the job market in the UK, I was looking for a mentor/coach to help me navigate life’s ups and downs. This is when I came across James’ profile and decided to work with him, and I couldn’t have found a better partner to help me. I received undivided attention and support from James as a coach, mentor and friend and still do. Through the use of guided coaching techniques and helping me develop a different outlook about certain goals helped me acquire new knowledge that I could productively use to gain new skills. His constant encouragement has aided me in gaining more confidence, striving for more ambitious goals and reaching my fullest potential.
James is able to leverage his vast expertise to effectively assess and identify actionable tips and strategies to help me focus on the targeted sectors/companies I wanted to secure a role in. He helped me reinforce my strengths and gave me the confidence to ‘market myself’ rather than waiting for these to be asked. Even though our sessions have ended, James stays in touch to check in on my progress.
"James was not only able to give me direction in a new country, but also support me as a friend who genuinely wanted to assist in guiding me and increasing my network. He is a good listener and is able to connect to one very quickly. His analytical thinking and approach definitely assisted me in creating a path for my future."
"I started working with James because I wanted to maximise my potential both in a professional and a personal capacity. He has been able to quickly shine a light on areas that weren’t necessarily apparent to me and help me build clear plans and accountability in the pursuit of my goals. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed our time working together and highly recommend him to help you develop a game plan for refining your focus and optimising your potential."
"I met James through my university's mentorship program. James helped me get my strategies in line and more focused. I was trying to go for everything which was making the process wayward. That alignment helped me focus more intentionally on the jobs that are in line with my experience. He helped me take small and quick steps in my job procurement process and managing my time efficiently, as I was also working on my MBA projects, so that both objectives work simultaneously. This was very helpful, otherwise both would have been intrusive and non-productive. He also helped me make my CV more stronger by highlighting my expertise, which were hidden before. Thank you very much James for your help in streamlining the processes for me and clearing up my mind at such a crucial time of my career."
"James has a natural passion and commitment for helping others develop their careers and achieve success. I am fortunate to have been mentored and coached by James over the last several years, where he has played a pivotal role in building my career and enhancing my skill base. Through regular contact with James, he has kept me accountable, motivated and provided an important support structure as I progress with my career. James is an excellent mentor and coach, he is honest, committed and insightful, and under his guidance I have been able to grown exponentially. I cannot recommend him highly enough."
"James proved to be extremely helpful in developing my resume, refining my vision for my career, and for generating ideas and a plan on how to manage my current career experience while potentially pursuing a new direction. He asked challenging questions and always provided useful insights or techniques. James also utilised his diverse industry knowledge on how to create meaningful connections."
