— Alana Zivanovic, Conference Event Professional
Sam has completely changed my life. He taught me that expressing emotions is the best way to heal. After 7 months of coaching work around emotion release, I can say that I have seen the results. I feel less triggered, more in control, more confident, a better parent and coach
— Tania Cuturi, Coach
Coaching with Sam was a life changing experience. We de-escalated the impact of the emotions related to my past traumas, and by addressing them with the right tools, we were able to heal them. I now see life with a much better perspective, a less scary one since I no longer see it from the perspective of a scarred, vulnerable child.
I am so grateful to have Sam as a coach and I am looking forward to our future sessions.

— Neil Craig, experience includes managing IT Credit Divisions at BNP Paribas & Credit Suisse
Sometimes you just need to talk out loud with someone who can provide you with an outside point of view with no bias. Contacting Tom for consultancy was one of the bravest and best decisions I did this year. I hit a crossroads in my life and was burdened by the thought that if I took one route that meant I had to outright abandon the other. I wasted days confused and stuck in my head - with a thick fog of uncertainty shrouding my reasoning. With patience, empathy and wisdom Tom helped me lift that fog to discover the answer myself and for that I am grateful.
— Aki Buhidma, Screen Actor
I was feeling extremely despondent after 20 years in the motor trade and didn’t know what else I could do, that is until I had a conversation with Tom. He gave me ideas of occupations I might be able to transfer my skills to and, more importantly, made me realise my value. It’s amazing how things can change dramatically and quickly when someone can see things like Tom does. He possesses the ability pick you up and put you on the right path. Without doubt the best and most productive use of an hour I have had in many years.
Thank you Tom for making such a difference to mine and my families life.

Tom has an ability to calmly get to the nub of things. His prompting questions quickly provided me with a platform to see credible solutions for myself. An uncanny knack.
— James Bell, Chartered Surveyor
Not only has Tom helped me raise my game, he helped me understand what game I’m actually playing! He helped me professionalize my activities, which built my confidence and allowed me to bring back the work-life balance I had lost since shifting to freelance. Within ten sessions I had increased my monthly income considerably and won back my weekends. I very much look forward to more of Tom’s coaching and wise counsel.
— Bill Griffin, Cannabis Expert
From the outset, I was impressed with Tom’s grasp of my situation and his attention to its detail. Not only did he approach his task by asking the right questions on the right topics, but he did so directly without being pushy and inquisitively without being intrusive.

Tom has natural flair and I have no hesitation in commending him to anyone looking for a coach of his calibre.

I help to start a new organization and due to Tom’s coaching I was able to secure several grants. Thank you Tom for your patience, support and sharing your skills with me.
— Jessica Gonzalez, Non-Profit Institutional Fundraiser
Coaching with Tom came at a perfect time in my career journey. I was slightly stuck on roles I wanted to pursue and environments in which I wanted to work. Through incisive questioning and the use of metaphor Tom helped me ‘unstick’ and gain clarity. He was able to take my stream of consciousness and pull out the salient thoughts to help me craft an authentic purpose statement and not only identify my strengths but own them too. Thanks Tom!
— Nina Berezowski, Founder-Director, Avenue B Coaching & Consultancy
It was a real pleasure being coached by Tom. I was surprised how quickly he managed to help me isolate my main strengths and help me identify where I wanted to focus my effort. In addition, I really valued Tom’s general advice and guidance around the NED sector. I’d definitely look to Tom if/when I need help in future.
