Starbuck&Associates Opiniones 37

I recently attended the 6 week NED programme and found the training, and the accompanying resource material, extremely helpful and beneficial. Paul is very knowledgable and regularly drew from his experience to put information across in a relevant way. The regular breakout rooms with other group members were great and helped reinforce each weeks learning. Paige was also extremely helpful and has a great way of getting you to think outside the box. I would recommend this course and Paul and his team to anyone looking to develop their career.

Zoe was fantastic! gave me more advice in an hour that I could've ever imagined - so insightful, to the point and knows how to get to the core of what you want, v v quickly would highly recommend.

I had the pleasure of working with Zoe for executive coaching, and the impact has been truly transformative. She helped me prepare for a crucial conversation that completely changed my experience at work, giving me clarity, confidence, and a fresh perspective.

Her coaching has not only benefited me personally but has also inspired me to want to become a better coach to my own team.

When coaching is done well, it feels like magic and that’s exactly what Zoe delivers. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to grow as a leader and unlock their full potential.

Zoe is incredibly supportive.

I first worked with her while editing some material, and from day one, she was fantastic—clear on what she needed but also open to new ideas that came up in our chats. Then she took the time to coach me over three sessions, helping me shape a CV that really showed off my skills and craft LinkedIn posts that definitely played a part in landing my new role.

Highly recommend—not just the company, but Zoe herself. She’s brilliant.

Paul is a great coach. He listens really carefully and empathetically and then responds with gentle but persistent challenge. He has a wealth of experience, understanding and ideas which meant that wherever the conversation went he could bring something new and inspirational. Above all else, he really met me where I was and helped me to find the direction I wanted to go in for the future. As it turned out this was very different from the direction I thought I was going to go, but over time he helped me to see properly what I wanted for myself.

Excellent Exec Coach
I worked with Paul over a six month period during a particularly intense period professionally. He helped me to think clearly around the planning and implementation of successful business change, and also helped me learn a lot about myself along the way. I found all of our sessions to be relaxed in style yet challenging (as I requested) and productive in terms of what I got out of them.

I have found working with Paul incredibly beneficial. He has an impressive CV working at senior level in large organisations, which makes him very credible. He's seen it, and done it, so can relate to my challenges. Paul has a wonderful manner, which makes sessions engaging and fun. He actively listens and can quickly get to the nub of the issue then provide a toolkit to overcome it. Furthermore, from the outset Paul was able to adapt his coaching style to suit my learning style.

Paul is been a fantastic coach - exactly the right balance of challenge, listening, thoughtful questions and insight. He's been a valuable support and I've benefitted hugely from his approach

I really enjoyed working with Paul. He stretched my thinking, really challenged me to step out of my comfort zone, providing useful tools and insight which benefitted my development as a leader.

Paul’s coaching has been hugely valuable. He combines a constructive, supportive, and exploratory approach with genuine challenge on areas that need further reflection. I have found this hugely useful in identifying parts of my approach to leadership that need more work. Paul has got the balance right between being supportive and really pushing when necessary. Paul brings a useful toolkit to every meeting, and I’ve found some of the analytical frameworks and tools he provided me very useful – in particular around structuring requests for feedback from colleagues.

It really was a pleasure to work with Paul. Whilst our sessions were very relaxed I found them hugely interesting and powerful. A fresh perspective on my journey, skills and development areas for a more deliberate plan of my future career. Some very useful tools and tricks for future planning and being a more effective leader. Would recommend Paul to any leader, his wealth of experience and “down to earth” approach combined made our sessions really insightful. Thanks again Paul.

Paul supported me through an important career transition with compassion, insight and constructive challenge. With Paul's help, I was able to develop the tools and approaches to be able to make decisions with purpose based on self-awareness, integrity and authenticity. Paul was incredibly supportive of my goals and was a careful listener, drawing on his wealth of experience and knowledge to help guide me through the complexities of entrepreneurship, executive career options and personal development. He was always on hand, even between sessions, to provide encouragement and support.

Working with Paul has been an incredible experience. A first class Coach who shows empathy but also will ensure accountability to move forward positively with results.
I have been fortunate to gain Paul’s support to really help me focus on my personal brand, my skills which should enable me to work at the next level day in, day out and to take a real responsibility for my network strength.
I’d recommend Paul to anyone who would enjoy the benefits of personal development.

Paul coached me through my transition to a portfolio career, and I can honestly say it was one of the most rewarding professional experiences I have had. Paul is empathetic, challenging, energetic, humorous, and has an enormous wealth of experience to draw on. His easy-going style was accompanied by a laser-focus on encouraging me to step outside my comfort zone. I enjoyed every minute, even when he put me on the spot with difficult questions, and most importantly, I have gained a great deal from the process both professionally and personally. I’d recommend Paul to anyone as a coach or colleague.

"I have been working together with Paul on my Leadership Development, Development of my future career path and my Personal Development in general for the last 11 months.

I have found Paul very professional and supportive as well as challenging and funny (with great sense of humour) at the same time. It was really a pleasure working with Paul during the entire time. He was my first executive coach, and the benefits of his coaching exceeded my expectations. I can truly say it has been a positive experience where Paul has regularly pushed me to look at things/challenges from different perspectives, without which I would not be able to uncover my hidden strengths.

With Paul's help, I now have a clear vision and set of goals for my future, that I am focusing on following his constructive support and feedback.

I would thoroughly recommend Paul as an executive coach."

"During 6 months, Paul has supported me on a transformational coaching journey. Facing life changing opportunities and challenges whilst being coached professionally by a coach that goes beyond the call of duty and who is not afraid to make you think through the most difficult choices whilst feeling safe and secure is a most incredible experience.
I would really recommend going on this journey with Paul! The combination of empathy, coaching expertise and business acumen ensured that I was able to explore all aspects of my potential with a realistic outlook on achieving my new set goals. Its truly been transformational and enlightening!"

Paul has been my excellent coach for 8 fun filled sessions over 6 months. His gentle coaching took me through a discovery process and helped me to sort out my thinking. He listened thoughtfully and skillfully directed our conversations. His light-hearted approach and critical questioning accelerated my learning about what I need to do to become a NED.
