What clients say
I work with senior leaders and teams who are navigating complexity; whether that’s scaling up, leading change, or trying to align at pace.
Clients often tell me that I bring clarity, create space for honest reflection, and help them move forward with purpose. And here is just a snapshot of some of the kind words past clients have shared.
Leadership Development
Chris joined us for a LEGO Serious Play workshop, built around our strengths and growth areas, individually and as a team.
The planning and research Chris put into our workshop is second to none. From our very first call, Chris took the time to understand our business, our people, our values and our goals, helping us to build a future-proof workshop that engaged the whole team and provided a fun activity with an opportunity to learn more about ourselves and each other.
On the day, Chris was upbeat, organised and engaging, matching the vibe of our team the minute he walked in the door. He managed to connect with every personality in the room and we all had a fantastic day of learning, laughing and team-building.
But it didn't stop there....
Team building is all about the outcome, and Chris scheduled regular check-ins after the event to ensure we had the tools to continue our learning.
Since our team day, we have implemented Chris' techniques into our onboarding process, reviews and L&D programme, as well as the individual skills we all learned on the day, and the whole team have continued to benefit from the session.
We highly recommend Chris to any organisation seeking a top-notch partner for their team-building events.
Thank you again, Chris, for your excellent work.

When building a startup, you're constantly looking forward and from time to time, it's important to reflect on what you've done and how you've gone about it. Myself and my two co founders came to Chris to reflect on the first year of building Una, with the aim of assessing how we worked together, a review of the key projects and an overall assessment of how we performed. With this, we wanted to be better prepared and improve so we could hit our upcoming milestones more effectively. Chris ran two brilliant workshops with us, expertly facilitating enabling us to get to the core of the issues that mattered, and crucially, helping us line up a clear list of priorities to focus on. It was not only a really fun process, but we all feel more confident in setting ourselves up for the best possible chance of success. I'm lucky enough to have worked with Chris at my previous company too, and I couldn't recommend him more!

Chris knows when to push and when to have a lighter touch, and through his workshops he guided me to identify with more clarity what my skills and weaknesses are, what interests I have in the workplace and the principles in companies that are important to me... I not only felt more clarity afterwards, I felt more empowered and motivated, and shortly afterwards received a significant pay rise.

Chris is an exceptional coach whose strategic guidance has profoundly influenced my professional growth. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking clarity in their business or personal life.

Every insight/strategy I have gained from Chris has been extremely impactful on my journey as a director and a leader...Over the sessions Chris has helped my confidence as a leader grow and continue to grow as I successfully implemented and used the insights/strategies given...I cannot stress enough the difference Chris has made in the way I manage my team but also in how I manage myself. Chris has laid the foundations and given me the tools I need to become the director/leader I want to be and my team deserves.

I cannot thank Chris enough. He's been so unbelievably helpful, and just one session with him has given me so much clarity and confidence now, I actually feel able to not only focus, but completely inspired to get what’s needed, done... I absolutely cannot recommend Chris enough, he’s so amazing at what he does. If you are feeling a little stuck, and in need of some clarity to move forward, please book in with him. Thank you again Chris!

It takes just an hour to understand the advantage of speaking to Chris about the struggles of effective leadership and work-life balance. Chris always has your own interest in mind when reviewing matters, that is why I would recommend anyone looking to take the step into more effective leadership or management roles to speak with Chris at least once before putting changes into place.

Chris is a superb coach with a unique ability to listen and make sense of all the jumbled thoughts in my head, hear what I'm not saying, and synthesise and make sense of them. I have finally taken tangible action in my business, and Chris supports and challenges me in a kind yet productive way. We get results. Chris is also friendly and fun and has an approachable, relatable personality. Highly recommend!

Chris helped me slow down, see things more clearly, and focus on what truly matters. He changed the way I perceive myself and helped me appreciate what I’ve already achieved—something I never gave myself enough credit for before.
Evangelo Panagi
To say that I’ve had a life-changing experience is an understatement. I’ve always heard that there is tremendous value in getting coaching and mentoring, but as an employee, rather than a founder, I wasn’t sure this would be relevant. However, Chris has been tantamount to shifting that mindset, providing pathways that have given me breakthroughs and frameworks on how to strategically think outside the box by applying his expertise and advice.

Scaling Sustainably
We are thrilled to provide our heartfelt gratitude to our Agile Coach, Safinity for the exceptional guidance and expertise they shared with our team last year. Since implementing their recommendations, including the introduction of Kudos boards, Software Team Meetings, specialized training sessions, and the adoption of Sprint Zeros, our team’s have experienced remarkable improvements in efficiency, collaboration, and increased overall project successes, with over half of the recommendations successfully integrated into our workflows.
The insightful advice provided by our Chris extended beyond just process improvements, as he also guided us in hiring the right talent for our team. His recommendations on the types of Scrum Masters and mid-level engineers to bring onboard have proven invaluable and as a result we have increased our diversity and social values which we a very proud of. As we continue to see the positive impact of his guidance, we will be re-engaging in the future to assess our progress and further optimize. All-in-all, it’s a valuable service which we would recommend.
