What Clients Have to Say
Jeremy Burns News UKI did a short burst of coaching with Francis when there was the possibility of a step up in my career. I wasn't sure how to prepare myself and even if I had what the new, more senior post required.
Francis gave me clarity and blew away those cobwebs of self doubt that we all have. I approached the selection process with more confidence and was successful.
Through the process he showed me that the answers we need are generally within, and how to dig into our own resources when needed. The time I spent with him has proven to be very valuable.
Chris van Schaick BBCFrancis worked with me as a consultant to BBC Local Radio stations. Later he worked as my coach.
In all his work with me he combined very intelligent insight, substantial industry expertise, excellent attention to detail, full-on energy and great personal charm.
His presentations are smart, polished and inventive.
His approach is very business-like and absolutely results orientated.
I have no hesitation in recommending him.
Some clients find a single coaching session can help them move forward. Others find a short coaching programme can really help them get to the bottom of things that are holding them back.
