“Stuart understands the dynamics of partnership and the challenges of joining and thriving in a partnership brings. He is a very sophisticated coach. If there is either a firm or a person who is looking for someone who is an all round good person, who is very insightful, asks you searching questions but is very friendly and approachable in the way that he does it. He’s one of the most capable people I’ve come across. He’s very impressive.”

“Thanks to Stuart for all his assistance with a variety of issues, including the all important growth and development of our truly talented people on their elevation and promotions. Stuart understands the legal industry, is committed, highly constructive and a great communicator. Greatly appreciated, Stuart!”

“I started working with Stuart to develop the skills I felt I needed to make the step up from Counsel to Partner. His insightful and measured input was invaluable in honing my presentation skills and business case, and I was made Partner only after a few short months of working with Stuart. Many thanks! I look forward to continuing to work with him to help develop my internal and external profile and grow my practice.”

“I was initially a little sceptical about coaching, but Stuart skilfully manoeuvred through my initial resistance. He provided me with a safe and encouraging environment to self-reflect, focus and develop clear strategies to achieve my goals. It’s fair to say that I’m now a coaching convert.”

“Stuart is a great coach - really easy to talk to and he has some great ideas. Always valuable to have a sounding board for ideas and initiatives, along with someone who challenges you to strive and do better. Stuart is all of those things and I would definitely recommend working with him if you are considering business coaching.

“Stuart is a fantastic mentor / coach. Very knowledgeable, personable and approachable.
Stuart has transformed careers, facilitating renewed focus and positive outlooks in stressful situations. I highly recommend Stuart for legal, and other, professionals looking to take control of their careers.”

“Stuart is an exceptional person and exceptional coach. The former causes the latter. Stuart’s capacity to, firstly, listen attentively and actively and, then, distil the position and make suggestions is – in my experience – unique. His manner is open and available. He is able to quickly pivot from “big picture” thinking about mindsets and attitudes, to practical thinking about What Should Be Done. I strongly recommend and endorse Stuart’s coaching services to anyone looking to take a more tactical and engaged approach to the development of their career.”

“I have been working with Stuart for over a year now to build my profile and help me work towards my next career goal. Stuart has been an exceptional sounding board and has helped me navigate ups and downs in my personal and professional life during the time we have been working together and at all times has really helped me determine what is right for me at each stage along the way. He has challenged me to push myself and deeply think about where I want to be. Stuart is very intuitive and has identified areas of improvement and growth I hadn’t even thought about. I would highly recommend Stuart.”

“Stuart helped me build on my more that two decades in construction and energy law to realize that my true passion and calling was as an independent international arbitrator. I am very grateful for his listening skills and quiet wisdom.”
