Learn Why We’re Their Go-To
Simon Bucknell
Founder & Tech Director
Ian has given the leadership team at EMBS real clarity of thought. Through his coaching and training sessions he has been able to elevate the leadership team and our employees to the next level.
As a result we've seen a significant uplift in revenue. Ian has also helped us to create a vision for the business that will see us work towards 'hyper growth' in the next 12 to 18 months. For us engaging Ian and the widerteam has been a game changer!
Andy Wadsworth
Director
I've worked with Ian in two different organisations after being impressed by listening to him speaking in 2015 at a recruitment conference.
Finding a coach you can work with is a really personal thing. They've got to 'get' you, and be able to hold a mirror up to the behaviours that are holding you back, without causing offence to your inner chimp. It's a fine art.
From my perspective as a coachee, he's patient and methodical and I find him to be challenging in an appropriate manner. Over time we've worked up a relationship where we can take shortcuts to the place we need to be on a range of situational business topics.
He's well-educated in the field of organisational psychology and draws upon this during practice in a way that's approachable at different levels of knowledge.
He's well respected by many of my peers for the value he provides to their career progression and capability as managers/leaders.
Highly recommended.
I've known Ian for approximately 3 years now and having been impressed with his style of group coaching and training sessions he'd delivered to our wider business group, I hired Ian to help coach me and assist taking my business to the next level. Ian is a fantastic mentor, trainer and coach. He has not only been instrumental in helping me put a 3 year business plan together but extremely engaging and inspiring as an individual which has helped me achieve much more than I had anticipated from a personal development point of view. If you run your own business and feel you need some direction in implementing growth plans or even manage a team and need some coaching around your approach and personal development, Ian is your man and I couldn't recommend him highly enough.
Gareth Carpenter
Executive Director
I have had the benefit of Ian's leadership coaching for the past year - coinciding with taking on a larger role, managing a complex business comprising multiple teams, and navigating the unique work environment posed by Covid-19. Ian has helped me navigate multiple strategic and tactical challenges through a combination of deep understanding of the recruitment industry, working through a range of leadership concepts and most importantly providing a trust-based forum based on his understanding of me as a professional and as a person.

Richard Pedreschi
Executive Director
We have worked with Ian for over 2 years now across our Global business and he has provided some amazing sessions on how to grow your business, managing teams, and even how to manage managers which has been a great help to me personally. Along with training Ian has supported and helped me on a personal level on his own personal time showing he how much he values everyone he works with, the door is always open.
Ian has always been incredible professional and extremely warm and easy individual to approach while being very direct, honest, and clear in his advice. Coming from Director level positions within the Recruitment industry he can provide some real-life truths and learns which for me was the standout difference between himself and other trainers I have worked with in the past.
James Doyle
Founder
Ian delivers our future leaders training and development/executive coaching and has been integral in that hugely important next wave, who we can grow the business around. Helping them with robust techniques for motivation, time management, man managing and efficiencies.
His teachings are used daily and account for a large part of how we culturally manage our teams. This appointment has been massively successful and all the managers like/relish his time with them each month.
Given his experience he has also been influential in visioning sessions at Director level and how we drive the business forward generally. I truly believe he is passionate about our success on all levels and to have someone of his pedigree supporting us has been invaluable.
