“I felt it was time to regain a clearer sense of my vision for my life, especially in my career. I was sure that a coach could help, but I had never imagined how quickly and how impactful I would find my coaching sessions with João.

From session one I felt listened to, seen, understood, and appreciated. I felt that I had someone fully invested in seeing me through my transformational journey; someone who genuinely saw my success as theirs.

João is a thoughtful listener, able to create clarity after long rants or conflicting thoughts. He pauses at the right moments to give space for learning. Most crucially he keeps his focus on helping me achieve outcomes, not only for each session, but tangible outcomes in my day to day life.

So far he has enabled me to recognise and grab an opportunity that I might not have pursued otherwise, leading to a fantastic outcome and I am sure that our sessions could lead to only more positive outcomes.

I couldn't have asked for a better coach. Thank you João."
