REVIEWS

‘Although reluctant to explore coaching, I'm so glad I did. Russ helped me with self reflection and to learn how to appreciate and be grateful for the things I have rather than seeing things as a chore. This gave me a better perspective on life which in turn made me a happier person. He also helped me to grow in confidence and not care so much about what other people think. He has taught me to be more focused on what I want to achieve and making time for myself to achieve my goals in life while remaining healthy. I would recommend Russ to anyone who isn't sure of themselves and is lacking in confidence.’ Neil.

“Russell has got an incredible way of making you feel totally engaged and listened to. I went to see him because I was feeling overwhelmed by the amount of information and ideas I had in my head, so as a result I wasn’t being very productive. Russell helped me to identify a clear goal and steps to get there. Within one week I had been more proactive and productive than I had been in the last month, meaning that my other goals no longer feel unattainable. I look forward to working with Russell more in the future.”       AMANDA

“I was really surprised how in such a short period of time I had established workable goals, that I could easily implement, which led me towards the career boost I needed. Russell also helped me establish a self-care and health routine that has changed the way I view myself and my time outside of work. I felt valued and heard in the process, and I know I have much more confidence in my role as a result of our sessions together.”                        JENNIFER

'“Russ's life coaching has been amazing for my confidence in setting up my business. His tailored approach and insightful guidance helped me push myself, when I needed it the most. With his support, I've shifted from hesitation to determination, embracing challenges with newfound clarity. His emphasis on recognising the strengths within me and being there to listen to all the issues I create and turn them into a positive is something I have really needed on this new journey. I highly recommend Russ to anyone seeking a growth in overall confidence and a guide in the right direction.” Tom

‘I just wanted to say a massive thank you Russ. Life coaching has been a surreal but fantastic experience. It meant so much that you genuinely cared and were so passionate in helping me to rebuild my confidence and self-belief. I'm in a much better place now and wanted you to know the huge difference you made. Thank you. Darren O’

“I met with Russell to help me to re-establish and re-affirm my work/life boundaries which with hybrid working and increased work pressures can at times become blurred.

He has helped me to navigate my concerns and has enabled me to determine my own priorities rather than dictating these to me. He has appropriately held me to account against the goals I set and encouraged and empowered me to make incremental and realistic changes applicable to my circumstances to reach these.

Russell is passionate about helping people and is keen to encourage those around him to identify and achieve their goals both in and/or out of a work place setting.” Rochelle

“Biggest challenge was being scared to do the work and procrastinating around doing it, all whilst not being able to look back and know I’d not been giving it the right try!

I enjoyed having accountability which in turn made me realise what I was capable of when taking baby steps towards my bigger goals. You gave me lots of useful insights into helping my mental game which is a huge part of trading. 

It’s possible for me to keep on working through my task without mental overload knowing setbacks are ok and something I can deal with.

I’d say go for it - everyone needs support in achieving their goals - it’s all about having the right team around you - nobody achieves greatness alone! John”

“I’m Alex. I’m 31, and I have ADHD. But despite that I’d always done quite well at work. Then I had a baby, and everything changed for me. I struggled with work, I got crazy anxiety, and I had a bit of a breakdown. 

I had counselling and medication, which helped get me back on my feet, but the cycle started again. I struggled with lack of purpose, and knew if I stayed in my job things were only going to get worse. 

I started working with Russ at the end of last year. And the difference is incredible. He’s helping me towards my new and exciting future with three steps: foundational work, such as practising mindfulness (I walk several miles each day), comfort level (this includes challenging limiting beliefs and watching how I talk to myself). And then realising my ambitions, which is to start my own ‘Roast’ dinner club. I’m getting really close to making this a reality. I have fear, where it’s only you and your tasks that stand between you and your dreams. And this is where the coaching is most useful, as I realise that my fear of failing is the same as doing nothing, I’d be in the same place. So, I need to give my dream a go. 

I need the accountability and support I’m getting from Russ. He’s helping me set up my new future, and this is his dream, to support people like me to pursue our own dreams. The support is effective and I’m happier than I’ve been for years. Wherever you are right now, if you want to get on the express train to a more fulfilling life, I’d recommend reaching out to Russ. "
