Testimonials

"I would highly recommend Huw. Over the past few months Huw has helped me gently unpick some of the false beliefs I have held about myself, that have been holding me back from being the person I can be. He has helped me develop my capacity to take up my place - my resources were depleted and making a commitment to take action was the single best decision I have made for some time. 
Huw, you have integrity and truly are a master at what you do, I feel inspired and excited about the possibilities for the future in both my professional and personal life". Jane Simons Chief Nurse Addaction

"The debrief session I had with Huw helped me to make sense of my strengths based assessment results in a deeper and more meaningful way than I could have done on my own. It was incredibly valuable to have a space where I could explore my strengths, understanding where I have come from, where I am now, and perhaps most significantly, how I can move forward. The debrief session has been a catalyst for positive personal changes for me.. the small but powerful kind. I am sure that my thinking, understanding and actions will continue to unfold as I understand, value and apply my strengths in my day to day living". Jo Cox

"When I went to Huw for a debrief of my online strengths exercise I didn’t know what to expect, except I knew from previous experience that Huw always brings an unexpected clarity to my table. This was no exception. I am surprised months down the line how the things we discussed are still having repercussions for me. The strengths exercise (R2) itself is great but it really came to life for me in Huw’s hands. He has tremendous skill in intuitively investigating different angles of my everyday experience. I can honestly say I have changed the way I relate to the world and more importantly to myself. I saw parts of myself I had forgotten were there and parts I had not believed in from new shiny angles!" Harry Nutt

"WEAREBEARD began working with Huw in 2016 as part of an effort to understand the people in our business better and improve our effectiveness. Not only were we very quickly made to feel comfortable talking to Huw but from a very early stage we were made to feel that Huw really ‘got’ us. Our discussions would often go in directions that we weren’t anticipating but with startling results, which have not only left us feeling rejuvenated but have significantly changed our thinking on where we see our business in the future.

More importantly though, we feel that we far better understand the people within our business, what motivates them and how we can work together more efficiently. Our people are the lifeblood of our business and understanding them better has allowed us to grow in ways we didn’t realise were possible. We can’t thank Huw enough for his continued assistance and look forward with excitement to where the future takes us." Rob March 2017 Director WeAreBeard

"Having Huw as a coach was an enlightening and empowering experience. Huw is both insightful and challenging and his creative approaches to coaching have opened my eyes to opportunities I had never even thought about. I feel privileged to have been coached by Huw and the experience has enabled me to move forward with positivity and purpose." Elizabeth Symonds Team Leader
