I have had various work coaches in my professional life but sometimes it felt that they didn’t get to the crux of the situation or get me. I had worked briefly with Wayne before for a short term and it had been worthwhile but when life had presented me with a serious of challenges and I felt overwhelmed and lost I made contact again. I needed the space to look at what I wanted from my life, but also the tools to get there.

It initially felt a long term commitment – and investment, but then you realise the investment is in you and you are worth it! You do also need to commit more time than the hour with Wayne – and that investment is still needed after the year – it will never stop. But looking back in terms of time and financial investment it has returned to me tenfold – it has been so worthwhile.

I cant believe how different my life is. From being unsure about my abilities and what I wanted next in life I not only know what I value I have achieved some of my goals. I am happier than I think I have ever been. The shift has been around my understanding of myself and the belief I have (but didn’t have!) in myself. I am enough! Wayne walks you through the process, is there is challenge, to act as a sounding board, to raise your own awareness, and to equip you with the tools to identify the changes and make the changes you want to in your life. All with friendship and humour.

I know my life is now what I make it. I can continue to strive to be the best person I can be, to invest in myself and what is important in my life. I have a notebook from our sessions and a drew what I wanted in one of the initial sessions. I have it all now – and I know when I want to add in other things which are important I can do. It is in my control and power.

Some of the tools and exercises we used still resonate and remain incredibly powerful -talking to a younger me, exploring what I am scared of happening, my perceptions of certain things (like a leader etc) I know the limiting beliefs I held onto for far too long and how they can become intrinsic to who you are – but now I know to look out for them and question them usually before dismissing them!

I am in tears now thinking of the impact Wayne has had on my life. A person I met through a screen at a time of unbelievable loss. If you had shown me a picture at that time of where I am now writing this I would have asked where the magic wand was to give me my three wishes. I had the wand all along. Wayne just helped me work out how to use it.

“If you’d shown me a photo of who I am now, I would’ve asked where the magic wand was. Wayne didn’t use magic. He helped me find it in myself.”

"I initially contacted Wayne due to feeling ‘lost’ in life. I was feeling unsure about which direction to move forward in and feeling fearful about making the wrong choice. I was unsure exactly what coaching would involve and felt a little apprehensive about what might be ‘expected’ of me. Wayne made it very clear from the outset that his style of coaching isn’t about expectation. It is about agreement and working together collaboratively to move forward.

Through my coaching with Wayne I have gained a better understanding of myself, what my values are and what I am looking to prioritise in my life. I feel more confident and better equipped to make choices that are aligned with who I am and what I am looking for. I feel more positive about the future and curious about the possibilities that it holds, rather than purely afraid of it (as I was before Wayne and I started working together). I feel more able to trust in myself that I will find the best way forward for me.

Coaching with Wayne is enlightening. He has the ability to be both challenging and supportive at the same time and takes the time to tune into you as an individual and truly understand who you are (and helps you to understand who you are by doing so). The coaching process can feel uncomfortable at times, as you move out of what is familiar and comfortable into areas that are more unknown or that you haven’t previously explored. Wayne allows you to approach these things in a controlled way and is able to offer techniques and methods that enable you to do this in a supportive and understanding environment.

From working with Wayne I have learnt that I have greater depths to myself than I had previously realised and a lot of the answers to questions about what I value and what I want from life are already within me, it is just a question of tuning into them. I have also learnt the importance of doing things that you enjoy and making time to have fun. Life shouldn't be 100% serious all the time. Wayne is an insightful and adaptable coach who takes the time to truly get to know and understand you. He then uses the resources and tools that he has to teach, guide, challenge and support you in developing an understanding of yourself and what you are seeking to create in your life."

“I’ve found strengths I didn’t know I had. Wayne is insightful, supportive, and always real.”

I was made redundant and was worried about what my future held. My confidence was at an all time low and self belief was nonexistent. I wanted a life coach that would help me sort all of this out. Or I thought that’s what I needed.

My journey with Wayne was very different than what I thought it would be. He made me realise that instead of running towards the next job as fast as I could, I needed to stop and look around me and learn to relax. Learning to do this and accept myself exactly the way I am and not trying to change myself drastically, meant that I learned to love myself again.

Instead of going for jobs and wanting to make sure I was perfect for them, the whole situation turned on its head and I started looking for jobs that were perfect for me. My confidence has grown, myself believe is back and due to this, I’m starting my dream job next week. Wayne is incredible and he makes you look at yourself in a whole new way. Thanks Wayne , I’m glad I found you.

Wayne is an outstanding coach. He has supported me to unpack my complex and manic lifestyle. Taking time to listen, asking great questions then using silence in a powerful and supportive way.
To gain a deep response, the use of visual representation has provided me with clarity, vision and purpose to progress towards a new exciting future. Thanks, Wayne. You are a star.
