Client Testimonials

  • Jamie C, Vice Principal, Education

    Working with Pierre is the best professional development I have taken part in. I work in education, and Pierre was immediately sensitive and curious about how the sector works and keen to understand the pressures of my role as a senior leader in school. He strikes an excellent balance between encouragement and challenge. He guides me to reflect on why things have gone well, and how I might apply that approach in the future but is also quick to diagnose the root of problems where things have become dysfunctional and challenging and pushes me to question my assumptions and preconceptions.

  • Jacqueline C, Venture Capital

    Pierre had a tremendous impact on my professional career. He guided me during my process of switching employer. With his help, I found a role I am tremendously happy with and where I am valued as an employee. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to excel at his or her career.

  • Jenny M, Partner, Advisory

    Pierre coached me at a time of great uncertainty in my career. I had left behind a career of 20 years but still had another 15 years of work left in me and was struggling with what to do next. Pierre made some really useful interventions, challenging me to question myself around work / live balance as well as around stress and anxiety and the environment in which I worked. Pierre creates a real sense of peaceful space in which to think and reflect.

  • Nicky R, managing partner, law firm

    I found Pierre to be highly emphathetic and a great listener. It was really helpful working with someone who came from a similar professional background so there was no need to explain many of the issues. Working with Pierre helped me focus on things that mattered and supported me whilst I made the changes I needed. Highly recommend.
