Testimonials
“Adam has been a game changer for me, and many of my Exec colleagues, both professionally and personally. He was able to hold a mirror up, helping pull us out from the weeds to make decisions from a birds eye view. Commercially astute, having multiple businesses himself, there is a depth to Adam`s coaching that is invaluable. Adam`s high emotional intelligence and strong understanding of group dynamics meant he was able to coach us to improve our collective performance as an Exec team.”
I came to Adam for coaching as my startup was going through a transitional phase and I needed help exploring and evaluating the different options. Adam really helped me work through all these options and identify the right approach to making a decision. Through his coaching, I was able to identify the right questions to ask myself, the decision-making framework and the tools to use throughout the process. Adam was able to distil all the information quickly into key takeaways and useful insights, was an excellent sounding-board and was able to provide the right frameworks to make my decision.”
