"As a coach, I have found Colin to be insightful, motivational and authentic. His coaching has allowed me to make deep changes in my life that I thought were not available to me. I found the coaching experience gave me a totally new outlook on my situation which in turn resulted in significant changes. These changes have now enabled me to drive the results of my business and personal life with more clarity and certainty. The skills and perspective that the coaching sessions gave me are valuable tools that I have continued to use long after our sessions together." ”

"At the start of my coaching with Colin there were many areas in my life that I wanted to improve. However, as the coaching sessions continued I found many issues drastically disappeared. Some of the great results were - getting a new job, creating a fresh sense of self love and gaining clarity on understanding who I really am. The coaching gave me the ability to face obstacles with a new sense of courage…...it was a great experience" ”

"Previous to our sessions I was facing some big decisions that I knew would impact a lot of people. I definitely needed some clarity around what was right for the situation. After our session I had complete clarity on what I needed to do and how I needed to do it. The session really opened my eyes up to the next critical steps for me. Also I just felt great after it which was cool also. I’ll definitely be continuing with it." ”

"I have never really felt fulfilled in my career or even spent the time to get clear on what I really wanted from it. The sessions really started to open my eyes to the possibilities of actually heading down a path that would bring fulfillment in my life. Even more than that, the sessions allowed me to gain permission once again to go after what I wanted and now know I deserve. This is a big shift of thinking for me. I have already started to make the steps to move towards this, it feels great!" ”

"Previous to meeting Colin I had never really discover my potential, I knew that there was so much locked up inside of me that was yet to be released, this made me feel really frustrated. I had been planning to start a business on my own for a few years and it wasn't until I started coaching with Colin that I really gained the confidence, accountability and focus I needed to make it all happen. The coaching has unlocked my confidence, sales skills and networking abilities in my business and as an added bonus I have also created a great personal and family life. I have now left my full time job and am running my business! I have already doubled the number of sales in my first two months. I now am able to do more of the activities I enjoy like spending time with my family, friends and most importantly building towards the future that I always wanted with my business. Colin thanks for your support, accountability and encouragement, our partnership has been invaluable."

The whole teams average has increased at lot and so has the profitabilty of the shop. Colin has helped me to close the gap on my leadership skills and now I am able to approach situations so much differently and with confidence. I feel that I have grown not only at work but also in my personal life, I have a new set of values and direction for my life, and am lots happier for it. I look forward to even more growth in the future, thanks Colin"

Colin’s coaching was genuine and impacting. When I first started coaching with him I felt stuck in a rut, unsure where to go in my career. I was really questioning wether I had what it took to go after a dream career and life. Since working with him, my confidence has increased dramatically and I am now 8 months into a new new, interesting and very challenging job that I would have thought impossible before. I now feel empowered to walk into my future in the areas of business and my personal life with confidence and hope ”

"Colin has a presense that inspires, educates and motivates without you even knowing it is happening. His ability to connect, guide and bring out the best in both individuals and teams is outstanding.
Colin has assisted me to not only realise areas that needed to be addressed in order for me to move forward, he enabled me to discover the tools that would work for me to take each step forward.
Thanks Colin" ”

"Previously to having coaching with Colin I had some unresolved personal issues involving cash being owed to me. I also had no current direction in my career and I also had a dream of one day owning my own bookstore. During this time I did not know how these issues and desires were ever going to be resolved, but within a short period of coaching I have resolved the personal issues and have received what was owed to me. I have now opened my own Bookstore called Readers Realm - The Hills Book Exchange in Sydney. The investment I have made in myself through the coaching with Colin has changed my life forever. I now have cash in the bank, my own business and a better relationship with my wonderful husband."

I first came across Colin during his keynote at a Deakin University meeting in Sydney in late 2009.
I was a bit sceptical about coaching to start with and had no real expectation but was open to see where it would go. On our first meeting I was flawed. I did not realise how much I was all over the place literally and disconnected to the real world in lots of ways. To me now the real world is living in the present, the now and not anticipating the next thing that may or may not happen. My first meeting was a huge emotional release, I don’t know what he did but it was the beginning of a number of sessions to follow.
As a person who likes to be in control I found through Colin that I did not need to be, I had to let go, the tools he enabled me to utilise to help me feel more grounded, self aware and in tune with my environment has made a significant improvement to my happiness. He has volumes of knowledge and experience in his field to draw from, from this I owe it to myself to be the enabler from what I have learnt and to apply these lessons to improve my focus and energy to what is really important to me.
I recommend Colin to any person who is looking for that direction in life, the tools to overcome your fears, the tools to help you achieve your goals, the tools to reset what is really important in your life, everyone needs a Colin. ”

Colin took the time to offer me one-on-one advice and coaching, and helped me to overcome some personal hurdles in my life. Since having the session I have taken a new improved approach to how I interact socially and professionally, for which I am grateful to him.
I have been able to utilise the knowledge and skills he taught me to improve and enrich both my professional and personal life."

What I enjoyed the most about this course was realising that training isnt about me, but it is about those I'm training.

There was lots of positive feedback on your session, and people enjoyed the fact that they could take away the advice and use it professionally or personally.
