Wilson's approach

Wilson’s approach is to partner with his clients to help them understand themselves and how they see the world around them. Exploring self-beliefs and whether they help or hinder what they would like in their lives. Developing trust and rapport, but also being open and frank when there are potential blind spots and opportunities for growth. In addition, Wilson often supports the client by helping to draw the full circle on why the client started coaching, reminder of client’s values, what has been discovered, and support on next steps.

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.
