Wilson's approach

Wilson partners with his clients to help them understand themselves and how they view the world. Together, they explore the self-beliefs that shape behaviour and assess whether these beliefs support or hinder the outcomes they want.

In his coaching, Wilson builds trust and rapport while being open and frank.

In addition, he helps clients reconnect with the purpose behind their coaching journey. This includes revisiting their values, clarifying what they have discovered and identifying the next steps that will move them forward.

What our clients say

At first, I wasn’t sure what to expect from the sessions with Wilson. In my mind I was under the impression that I really didn’t need coaching and that I had most things under control. Little did I know that the ensuing sessions with Wilson would shift my mindset at work to a different place all together. In essence, I now have a different outlook and approach to communication with stakeholders, prioritisation in my work and spending more time on strategic thinking and delivery. You cannot put a price on the invaluable assistance and guidance that I received, thank you Wilson.

Global Senior Manager, International Bank

The coaching from Wilson has been really rewarding. Wilson was a phenomenal listener and gave me new insights to improve my leadership skills. He always asked me the insightful questions to encourage me to dig deep in exploring previous experiences and personal values to create my own leadership positions. Besides, Wilson had natural ability to make me recognise my own potential and help to guide me towards it. Due to his help, I have learned how to communicate clearly with my team and to reflect on my leadership skills.
