Testimonials

When I started my coaching with Adam I was trying to start my own business and adapt to life in a new state, I was in a bad place. I felt unmotivated, unsure of myself, and incapable of making the necessary moves to advance my professional life. After three sessions with him, I landed a new part-time job, gained confidence, and feel ready to take on any new challenges that come my way - Claire, USA

I was experiencing a great deal of anxiety at work and Adam brought so much insight, perspective and many tools to my toolkit. His warmth and compassionate approach quickly broke the ice and allowed us to get to the hard work of analysis and planning. I value the time we spent together and the progress he’s helped me make in my life. I wouldn't have this much courage to push forward with my career goals without his support. Adam, thank you so much for the personal and professional growth - Ben, Canada

Adam has a depth of experience and knowledge and the enviable ability to create safe spaces for clients to make progress. Three words to sum up his coaching: insight, energy, action - Maria, UK
