Client Success Stories. Yours is next!

James came in and recognised what we needed most was steadiness; a safe pair of hands to anchor things down. He held me accountable and ensured everyone knew what they were doing. We created a plan and stuck to it, which allowed me to focus on other priorities. His gentle but effective approach created a sense of safety and stability for the entire team.

The team is empowered and happier than they've ever been. I don't feel anxious anymore, knowing someone is ensuring people are doing what they promised. Both sides of the business are profitable, and I can focus on growth and investment, which wasn't possible before. James has been exactly what we needed.

James was transformational for me and my business. He shared thought-provoking insights that reshaped how I approach both challenges and opportunities. As a founder himself, he gets it. He doesn't just help on the business side but also with the personal challenges behind the scenes.

James has helped clarify complex issues for me and helped me work through those moments of anxiety. His combination of brutal honesty and support has helped me and my team make meaningful progress. Both as a coach and a brilliant role model, his wisdom has been invaluable. He really could change your life too!

James stepped in and helped us map out what we wanted to do, guiding us through a difficult period of restructuring. He has a great ability to let you talk and then explain things back in a way that makes them seem manageable, even during stressful times.

We've successfully pivoted from a done-for-you service to a training consultancy, focusing on doing less, but better. Our quarterly sessions with James result in concrete plans, and we measure success based on pride in our work, client happiness, team satisfaction, and profitability. Working with James has helped me gain perspective and not be driven solely by numbers. I'm learning to appreciate what we've built and enjoy the journey more.

James stepped into my life at this pivotal moment and proved to be an extremely talented coach. He guided me through important decisions while creating a reflective and safe space for growth. The value I found in our sessions was so significant that our initial six-week engagement quickly extended.

Now I feel more confident in my leadership and trust my instincts. James's intuitive, holistic approach paired with his business expertise has transformed how I navigate challenges. Both myself and City to Sea are thriving with the clarity he helped me find.

After my first few sessions with James, I felt a weight lifted from my shoulders. He helped clear the cobwebs in my brain and showed me I needed to continuously experiment rather than getting lost in my thoughts. He helped me narrow in on ideal client profiles that we were then able to win.

I see coaching as an investment in the health of the business—like having a personal trainer for your company. It reduces the cognitive load of figuring everything out myself and speeds up results. James doesn't make me feel guilty for prioritising work-life balance, which has been mind-blowing for me. The better I'm doing, the better the business is doing.

Then, I began working with James. He's an amazing listener who calmly helps plot a path forward. He digs deep to understand the real problem, not just the one I thought I had. James' magic is that he provides clarity on the best route forward.

I'll be forever grateful I reached out to James when I did. He was key at a pivotal moment when I had to make a difficult decision about the future of my business. He was an invaluable advisor because he was impartial and had no conflict of interest. James helped me see things from a different angle. He understands what a person really needs, not what they think they need. My business might not still exist without him.
