Richard’s advice, insight and approach was much appreciated and I now feel a little ‘lighter’ because of it. The session provided the space and direction to help me think about what I need to do aside from organisational going-ons which is exactly what I needed.

I really appreciated delving into the specifics of the issues we are facing as a business. It was great to receive challenge from someone who has a lot of experience and doesn’t share the same blind spots. Just one throwaway comment has left me thinking all night!

Richard quickly pinpointed my main challenge and suggested a different angle and alternative way of solving the problem. It was one I had previously dismissed as unlikely but in suggesting it he not only reminded me, but knew from personal experience it’s perfectly possible.

Richard was fantastic. He really got engaged with the idea of the company and wanted to do his best for it. A number of tasks came out of the meeting for both of us and I’m looking forward to continuing the work and idea generation that was done during the initial call.

Richard got straight to the nub of the issue I was facing, offering up two or three different ways to tackle it and helping me make my own decisions about the way forward. He is very supportive and clear thinking, I left the session feeling energised with lots of ideas about what to do next.
