Strange as it may seem I won a session with Adrian in a prize draw at a conference. It was without doubt the best thing that has ever come my way. Several years ago I was forced into making a career change due to redundancy and although I love the work I do now there was always that little niggle in the background that I might not have made the right decision.

Thanks to the Belbin feedback and Adrian's patience I now realise that making the change was only the first step not only in respect of a new career but also finding the real me. Being contracted rather then permanently employed means that I always have one eye on the possibility that I need to find another position, but I have never felt comfortable looking to go back into my previous career role and have always managed to find reasons why I should not take the jobs offered.

Adrian has helped me realise that what I took to be something that I just do is actually skills I never realised I had and has give me the confidence to look at roles which will use them. By making me aware of where my ex and current colleagues see my strengths and weaknesses I now realise that they value the work I do and the role I play within the team structure.

Thanks to Adrian I now feel confident to go for positions both within the University and outside which will use my ‘undiscovered’ skills and I have a whole new outlook, not only on my working life but on myself. All I can say is that the raffle ticket was the best £1 I have ever spent – thank you so much Adrian for unearthing the ‘me’ that I have tried to bury for so long.

Following a purchasing review, Premier took the decision to use Galilee Coaching and Mentoring because Adrian amply demonstrated that he was able to satisfy our requirements entirely. His work was performed to a very hig standard and completed within agreed timescales and costs. We are entirely satisfied that Adrian has a high level of competency in providing tailored coaching and mentoring services. Premier fully intends to use Adrian as our principal coaching and mentoring provider in future and has no hesitation in recommending him to any other organisation considering purchasing coaching or mentoring services.

I was introduced to Adrian of Galilee Coaching and Mentoring through training organised by my firm. The group sessions helped me to confirm my core values, and introduced the concept of a ‘whole life-balance’ as opposed to a ‘work-life balance’. I found the one-to-one session particularly useful, and whilst the training did not amount to a quick fix solution, Adrian helped me to identify steps that will assist with my personal and professional development, and enhanced my confidence in being able to implement them. Adrian’s manner was probing, but not obtrusively so, and supportive. As a result I was able to feel at relative ease in the one-to-one session, which could potentially have been a very awkward situation. I was therefore content to discuss values and ambitions freely, and do not believe I would have found the training so beneficial without being able so to do. I would certainly recommend Adrian and Galilee Coaching and Mentoring to others.

I am writing to say how helpful I found the coaching sessions. Adrian enabled me to see that there was more 'on the screen' than I had imagined, allowing me to have my say but at the same time keeping me on track. It was at my 'Ministry Review' which many clergy have these days, that I was recommended to Adrian. I had said “I can't see anything on the screen.” I wasn't referring to PC or laptop but that I was unable to see what the future held for me, or how the present related to it. Adrian quietly but firmly enabled me to think in terms of aims and objectives, and also in terms of 'whole life balance' rather than 'work-life balance' as the coaching sessions progressed. Gradually I realised that there was more on my 'screen' than I had thought. I can now look the present and the future in the face with much more confidence. I warmly recommend Adrian and Galilee Coaching and Mentoring.

"I approached Adrian for specific help with one key objective in mind; how was I going to cope with a severe bout of nervousness when standing up to give a presentation? In relatively short but intense sessions, Adrian very quickly steered me into breaking-down my worst fears, we discussed each element one-by-one, and tackled them in-turn head-on, the problem somehow diminished into a relative insignificance… With a lot of practice, and I do mean a lot, the presentation was a success and the newfound relationship quickly resulted in a number of good business referrals. This was, therefore a profitable investment of my time and money. My sincere thanks."

“My experience of Galilee Coaching has been a wholly positive one. In the fast pace world we live in it's often difficult to find the time to dedicate to personal development. The coaching session I have on the telephone each week is an invaluable tool in my continual quest for personal and professional fulfilment. Much of my coaching focus to date has been oriented around establishing my 'core values.' By recognising these values, I have been able to appreciate how and where I can improve the way I deal with my professional and personal relationships.”

“As a senior manager in a large public sector organisation, I was exploring the value of coaching when Adrian was recommended to me. I found Adrian's approach and the coaching process immensely helpful in clarifying issues and identifying realistic strategies. The regular sessions kept me focused, leading to some tangible benefits both for my organisation and for me personally. I have since moved to more challenging and rewarding work, helped by the insights from coaching with Adrian. I can recommend Galilee Coaching and Mentoring very highly to anyone looking for fresh ways of moving forward either at work or in their personal lives. I would be pleased to speak to any prospective clients to share more detail of my experience.”

“I have worked with and known Adrian for over ten years, first meeting when we worked together in a FTSE 100 Utility. I have seen Adrian lead in various settings with both large and small groups and with individuals. He is adaptable and skilled in many situations, capable of presenting ideas, able to design learning situations as a teacher would, but even more skilled at questioning – in an apparently relaxed and informal manner. His questioning can be probing and challenging when appropriate, but only in the interest of the other person. His quiet appearance, good eye contact and skilled, perceptive comments, get people to open up naturally, with feelings of trust and confidentiality. He loves the success and achievements of others - their success is his success and he can be completely ego-less about that. I have every confidence that he will be equally at home in the public sector, the not-for-profit sector, and in the private sector. His ethos is one of continuous personal and professional development. As such, his life experience will be a reservoir to draw upon and he will be a role model for his clients.”
