Testimonials from our Executive Coaching

Matthew Dooley

(General Manager, netstrategies)

I had my doubts about coaching, I expected it to be business fluff with minimal direct results. After 15 months of coaching with Paul, I can directly attribute growth and results to his input. Our team culture has been challenged and enhanced through his team coaching sessions.
I'm more than happy to strongly recommend him as a Leadership coach, either personally or across a business.

Shane Watts-Thomas
(Flight Centre, Team Leader)

"This letter is to thank you for your coaching sessions that we have been having for the past few months. The time we spent together was both informative and beneficial for myself and my business. The business has grown in leaps and bounds since the sessions have started and I have only seen improvement in pretty much all areas.

Firstly, I got placed in this job when a business was losing on average $13000 a month. I have seen my business do a turnaround of about $20,000 a month in the last 4 months. We finally pulled it out of the bag and came away with profit for the first time in about 1.5 years. The store has been most improved in our area for 2 straight months and are looking at getting it for a 3rd month. The input and advice you have given is unmeasurable. The way you got me thinking about the business as a whole and just giving a different perspective on things.

Once again to pay such a small amount and get such huge return I would happily recommend your services to anybody"

Anthony Glinatsis
(Co - Director, TGBN Mergers & Acquisitions)

"TGBN specialises in the sale of profitable businesses in a large cross section of industries. We found dealing with Paul at Innovation Coaching an absolute pleasure as I finally met a business coach with credible leadership experience to refer our clients to. Paul is an excellent communicator and will provide a candid, no nonsense perspective on the direction of your business and your own personal goals. From first hand experience, this is something that I have also benefitted from greatly at a critical point in my life, where I needed to make some tough commercial and personal decisions - as quite often, they are linked"

Jason Leitch
(Project Manager, Net Strategies)

"Just wanted to say a huge, heartfelt 'thank you' for all your input over the last 6 months. I don't find it easy to describe how much your invaluable insights and leadership strategies has helped me both professionally and personally, but it has been big! I always looked forward to our time together, as I would feel better equipped, empowered even, to deal with my day, by the time our sessions completed. Also, meeting with you regularly allowed me the time to, with your prompting, think and discuss strategic plans and ideas, which otherwise would have been overlooked for sure. I would highly recommend you to any person wanting to grow in their career or business as a leader."

Mat Coolahan
(Senior Manager, IT)

"I had the pleasure of being coached by Paul over a nine session coaching program. Paul helped me to realise and discover for myself the quality and achievability of the life I wanted, helping me discover what was holding me back and establishing a plan of actions for me to move toward that life. Paul is an intense listener, he guided me through the topics I brought to the table and his approachable, smiling, thoughtful style was reassuring through some of the most difficult topics during our sessions. At the time of writing this I completed my program five weeks ago. There is not one day I don't remember and work on what we discussed. I am a happier, healthier and I feel I am a more complete person. Paul I thank you for your contribution, support and guidance. I would recommend Paul to anyone who is serious about improving their lives professionally or personally".

Alexandra McLellan
(Flight Centre, Team Leader)

"Thanks for the 6 months of coaching sessions just completed. What I enjoyed most about the sessions was just being able to rock up and to have you sit there and listen! Your ability to listen so intently actually made me work out my own solutions (most of the time!!) and sculpture my leadership path to success. You made me go from strength to strength and when in doubt I would ask you for your light on a current situation and you would always offer such great advice and options. Your points of discussion in these sssions were always so focused and relevant and I would always walk away at the end of each session feeling uplifted and fully refocused. Thanks Paul, it was awesome!

Justin Mayo
(Executive Director, Red Eye, Inc. Beverly Hills, California)

"Paul Andrew has been the greatest resource for myself and the non-profit organization I head up, Red Eye, Inc.  He has an amazing ability to not only see a situation from the surface, but is able to dig into the heart of scenarios and empower the individual to approach things more effectively.  I greatly recommend Paul's expertise and uncanny approach to seeing the big picture and give practical advice to help not only the organization, but also the individual... sure has helped me!"

Michele Pok
(Manager, Flight Centre)

"My sessions with Paul were relaxed and it was like I was chatting with a friend! The best part about it, was Paul was able to reawaken things in my subconscious, so they were then again conscious to me. The DISC Profiling has done wonders with both my personal and professional life. It has given me a better insight as to the motivations of other people, and why they are the way that they are. It has made me better understand myself, and also manage & fine tune my own characteristics to get the best out of any situation. I believe I have a deeper, more profound understanding and appreciation for other people and how they think. It has helped me personally, and in effect made my life (personal and professional) sail along so much more smoothly that before I started with Paul. I recommend this to anyone - whether it be 3mths or 6mths or even longer... I know I could feel and see the benefits after the 1st session! Thanks Paul!"

Elizabeth Leahy
(Authorised Representative, AMP Financial Planning)

“I found Paul’s coaching a great benefit when coming back into an industry I had been out of for some years. He helped me put a lot into perspective & coached me to set reasonable goals & expectations in my learning/early days. I was being a bit too hard on myself & on what I believed I should achieve by way of sales & call targets & Paul coached me on how to realise that it is OK to start with ‘baby steps’ & still feel that I was achieving. Paul worked with me for over two months & he gave me a great deal of confidence along the way & took a real interest in my opinions, fears & successes.”

Wendy Kelly
(Professional Coach, Melbourne)

"Paul's natural warmth and caring personality instantly created a safe place for our coaching session together. With direct and thought provoking questions Paul encouraged me to look for different possibilities around an area of my life where I was feeling "stuck". These new choices have empowered and motivated me to move forward towards my goals. I highly recommend working with Paul if you are feeling "stuck" and not achieving the results you are looking for in your life and your business."

A coach's effectiveness is measured by
the success of those he or she coaches.
