What my clients say
“Christian worked closely with me as my coach on and off the set of the Dragons’ Den, Keeping me fit and healthy in between filming and in my down time. He is fantastic to work with and has great energy. 8 years later and we are still in contact. I would recommend him highly to anyone who wants to make a change and improve their life, confidence and wellbeing.”
Duncan Bannatyne, Dragons’ Den
“On a personal level, I have known Christian for a number of years now and he is honest, hardworking and a caring person. I would have no qualms recommending him to anyone that wished to hire him.”
Ray Kelvin, founder of Ted Baker
“I had the pleasure of working with Coach Cristian a few years ago. I own and run a medium sized business and I was looking to make some changes in my life - I needed to gain some focus, motivation and confidence to deal with the many challenges I was facing at the time. Christian is an exceptional coach and I can't recommend him highly enough. Working with him was extremely rewarding. Using the skills he taught me has made me a more rounded individual and ultimately a more successful businessman. Anyone looking to energise their personal or professional life should give him a call.”
Simon Georgiou, MD GIS
“Christian was associated with Sweaty Betty for two years as a full-time coach, working on a weekly basis with a number of women. I’m sure you’ll find Christian to be an asset in many different roles as he’s certainly proven to be a reliable and fun ambassador of Sweaty Betty.”
Paige Danis, Regional Manager, Sweaty Betty
I have worked with Christian for the past 15 years. I first came to Christian with a list of things I told him he would never change! Well, its safe to say, that list soon had no entries on it and with our hard work together, my life changed in all of the areas I wanted. I have since gone on to run my now successful business and had a family. I still to this day work with Christian and would highly recommend him to anyone as their coach. If you want to make a change and that famous UPGRADE on your life, he’s the man.
Andrea Forder, CEO, Nightjar Consulting
"I first met with Christian for a one-off half hour session from which I hoped he might have some tips to help me with focus. Really I thought it was a good opportunity to try coaching, as it was something I have never done before, and I believe you shouldn't pass up an opportunity to help yourself develop personally and professionally.
Little did I know the extent of the journey that I had begun - one that has helped me so much on a personal level and made me so much more confident in myself inside and outside of work. My relationships with my family have improved and I know for sure that my values are of the utmost importance to me and that I need to stand by those! Christian knows how to challenge, when to support, the questions to ask to get you thinking about yourself and your actions. I regularly hear his thoughts in my head as I go about my day.
It has been a fabulous journey with tears and laughter and one that has for sure shaped me, motivated me and I would recommend anyone booking in and starting a journey. You never know how far it might take you and the benefits you might reap!”
Vicky Ross, Novartis Oncology
Generally, through my time working with Christian, it feels as if the positivity in my life has been turned up. I see the world around me in a more positive light. However more surprising, is how those around me, especially Helen my wife, seems to be more positive too. Moments of conflict are less, and when they occur, Helen and I are both more able to keep them in context, move past them and maintain our balance in life. In work I feel more confident and stable, despite uncertainty surrounding my job role. I also feel excited about my future, and where life might take me, and my family, safe in the knowledge we will all be fine whatever direction we go in.
Rick Hollis, Novartis Oncology
"When I first met Christian I was in a destructive loop of repeating the same bad behaviours, leading to low self-esteem and confidence. The consequence of this for me was unhappiness both at home and work which impacted on what I achieved day to day. Working with Christian required my complete buy in and for me to turn up and do the work. I was in such a low mood after yet another traumatic situation I was contemplating walking into the River Clyde or taking a chance on myself and working with Christian. Thankfully I choose the latter.
Maggie Clark, Novartis Oncology
I have been working with Coach Christian for 5 months now and feel, down to his support and advice, I have made some significant personal growth. Christian’s thoughtful and practical questions have helped me develop a greater self-awareness, increased self-confidence and more insight around important decisions I need to make both in my professional and personal life. I hope that the colleagues I work with have benefitted from a more decisive, intuitive and calm Maisie. Christian emphasises the importance of ‘doing your homework’ when working with him and I have enjoyed the reading and tasks he has given me to complement the work we do in our weekly 1 hour sessions. Christian is a coach who challenges you and pushes you to do better, however he also has a kind and caring manner which I believe helps him get the best out of all of his ‘coachees.’
Maisie Borrows, Novartis Oncology
Awareness, accountability & ownership. That’s an imprecise but honest way to describe how transforming the process with Christian was for me. The result is a laser focus to design a strategy and a more than necessary motivation to achieve whatever goals we set for ourselves. Since my time working with Christian as my coach, I have changed jobs, changed the country I live in, and am now happier and more successful than ever. I still work with Christian as my coach and will do ongoing.
Paulo Nogueira, Tv Director and Producer, TV Globo, Brazil
Having had childhood and then life event based confidence issues in my life, I need help with these in my professional life. I had a few confidence and attitude issues that needed addressing, Christian got me over these with a mixture of coaching and his natural warm persona. I gained a friend and skills for life with this guy.
Simon Doderer, Talent Lead, Western Europe, Microsoft
I felt I needed something to change, although opportunities overwhelmed me, so backed away. I entered coaching with Christian with an open mind to see where it would take me. One year on my life has changed immensely, I am learning to let go of the negative thought processes that held me back, embracing change rather than fearing what may or may not happen. I look for opportunities rather than hide from them and all of my personal relationships have changed for the better, I can’t thank Christian enough for the changes that have already occurred and are still to come.
Claire Green, Novartis Oncology
Working with Christian has been, and continues to be a game changer.
At the start of 2021 I was stuck. In my mid-thirties, struggling to progress personally and professionally, and becoming increasingly frustrated by my inability to move forward I wanted to make a change. I close out 2021 as one of my best years and owe a great debt to Christian. His warm but challenging approach to coaching will help anyone looking to unburden themselves and drive towards personal and professional growth.
If you're struggling to get to where you want to go, give Christian a call.
Olly Harrison, Sandler Training
Christian’s coaching has been a real help to me during a time of major transition in my life. We have done lots of work around my values and behaviours, which has given me a greater understanding of myself and has enabled me to overcome barriers I had built up.
Not only has Christian helped me overcome a number of barriers in my professional life but his guidance has helped hugely in my personal life also. Spending time with Christian has helped me change my life, put things in order, and made me deal with being happy and always moving towards a positive place. This has helped me change my life, I am no longer the person I was and everyone closest to me have seen, and experienced the positive changes.
I am really grateful to have Christian in my life, and for the first time ever I feel I have a purpose and direction.
