Working together shifted both my thinking and how I show up day to day. I came in wanting to make progress in three areas: advocating more effectively for my own career growth, setting clearer boundaries around workload, and creating better balance with personal development and family time.
​
A key part of the impact was mindset. Through our sessions, I learned to reframe how I approached challenges. A simple but powerful example was how I thought about learning French. I moved from “I need to do this,” rooted in pressure, to “I want to do this,” grounded in opportunity. That shift changed how I engage not just with that goal, but with many others.

Richard combines empathy with real challenge. He creates a space where you feel understood, but he will not let you stay vague or comfortable. He pushes you to be precise and intentional in how you think and act.
​
This kind of coaching is particularly valuable for people who are already performing well but need to evolve how they think, prioritise, and advocate for themselves to operate at a higher level, without burning out in the process.
