Profile

I'm a dynamic and creative solutions coach with over 9 years managing my own business and over 20 years senior and middle leadership and staff management experience (within a particularly difficult public sector agency) all of which delivered extensive change results for my clients.

My background ranges from managing large cultural and organisational change projects to working with major companies such as the Royal Bank of Scotland, Highlands and Islands, Birmingham City Council, Sytner Car Group and Scottish Water, as well as a variety of SME businesses across the UK.

In addition to my wide ranging Coaching skills I have specialist experience in Leadership and Management Programs, communications, strategic and business planning, staff development, and people development systems.

Coaching has been the primary Leadership and Management style I have used throughout my extensive career to date, and I am passionate about the outcomes my clients experience when working with me. My direct and hands on approach ensures my clients are challenged whilst my sense of humour ensures lots of enjoyment along the way.

Areas of life coaching I deal with

Other areas of life coaching I deal with

As each client is different I tailor each intervention to your requirements.

Some of the work I do includes behaviour profiling, communication skills profiles, emotional intelligence profiles, team role profiles and leadership profiles. Some of these will be relevant to you, some won't but I'm qualified to apply each one and will ensure you receive only those that are necessary.

My clients give me testimonials covering their outcomes, including significant increases in confidence, self belief, work/life balance, skills and career developments. See my web site for more.

Fees

£70 per 60-90 minutes duration.

Further Information

I'm proud of the outcomes my clients achieve and some of these are listed below. For further testimonials please visit www.exmt.co.uk.

"Thanks for your facilitation of the team's development day carried out recently. It was interesting to see how the individual role types worked out and this certainly gave the team some food for thought. The most beneficial aspect was the action focused goal setting and action planning section. It was clear to us that we were not working in synchronicity with the organisation as a whole - we are now!" Director - Royal Bank of Scotland

I have known and worked with Pete for over four years now and always found him to be a source of common sense yet innovative ideas. His patience is boundless and I would highly recommend anyone considering assistance with their business to speak to Pete - you know it makes sense! Janet Torley

"Petes challenges, support and diverse knowledge of leadership and management skills meant I was able to get past where I wanted to more quickly than I thought possible. His ability to help you see your vision and go for it has helped me get to where I am today. If anything he helps you believe in what you are and focuses you on the right skills to achieve your goals." Director - Menzies Hotel Group

The year we spent working with Pete enabled us to really focus on where we wanted the business to be within the next 3-5 years. Having clearly identified where we wanted to be Pete helped us to establish our present position and then provided very clearly set out, action based solutions and outcomes. Invaluable!" Director - Living Solutions
